perf: Remove libpython support and legacy Python scripts

2026-09-26T18:54:54+00:00

Remove embedded Python interpreter support (libpython) from perf, as all Python scripts have been migrated to standalone scripts using the perf Python extension module. Changes include: - Remove libpython detection and build flags from Makefile.config. - Remove legacy Python script installation rules from Makefile.perf. - Delete tools/perf/util/scripting-engines/trace-event-python.c and tools/perf/scripts/python/Perf-Trace-Util/Context.c. - Remove Python scripting engine registration from trace-event-scripting.c. - Remove libpython from the supported features list in builtin-check.c and Documentation/perf-check.txt. - Delete the legacy Python scripts and bin wrappers in tools/perf/scripts/python/ and update shell tests.

perf script: Fix script_fetch_insn for more than just x86

2026-01-27T04:35:22+00:00

The script_fetch_insn code was only supported on natively running x86. Implement a crude elf_machine_max_instruction_length function and use to give an instruction length on more than just x86. Use the ELF machine to determine the length to use to support cross-architecture development.

perf script: Move script_fetch_insn to trace-event-scripting.c

2024-12-18T19:24:32+00:00

Add native_arch as a parameter to script_fetch_insn rather than relying on the builtin-script value that won't be initialized for the dlfilter and python Context use cases. Assume both of those cases are running natively.

perf util: Make util its own library

2024-06-26T18:07:42+00:00

Make the util directory into its own library. This is done to avoid compiling code twice, once for the perf tool and once for the perf python module. For convenience: arch/common.c scripts/perl/Perf-Trace-Util/Context.c scripts/python/Perf-Trace-Util/Context.c are made part of this library.

perf thread: Add accessor functions for thread

2023-06-12T18:57:53+00:00

Using accessors will make it easier to add reference count checking in later patches. Committer notes: thread->nsinfo wasn't wrapped as it is used together with nsinfo__zput(), where does a trick to set the field with a refcount being dropped to NULL, and that doesn't work well with using thread__nsinfo(thread), that loses the &thread->nsinfo pointer. When refcount checking is added to 'struct thread', later in this series, nsinfo__zput(RC_CHK_ACCESS(thread)->nsinfo) will be used to check the thread pointer.
