2026-09-26perf: Remove libpython support and legacy Python scriptsIan Rogers
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.

2025-02-18perf script: Fix hangup in offline flamegraph reportNamhyung Kim
A recent change in the flamegraph script fixed an issue with live mode but it created another for offline mode. It needs to pass "-" to -i option to read from stdin in the live mode. Actually there's a logic to pass the option in the perf script code, but the script was written with "-- $@" which prevented the option to go to the perf script. So the previous commit added the hard-coded "-i -" to the report command. But it's a problem for the offline mode which expects input from a file and now it's stuck on reading from stdin. Let's remove the "-i - --" part and let it pass the options properly to perf script.

2025-02-03perf script: force stdin for flamegraph in live modeAnubhav Shelat
Currently, running "perf script flamegraph -a -F 99 sleep 1" should produce flamegraph.html containing the flamegraph. Howevever, it gives a segmentation fault. This is caused because the flamegraph.py script is supposed to take as input the output of "perf record", which should be in stdin. This would require passing "-i -" to flamegraph.py. However, the "flamegraph-report" script causes "perf script" command to take the "-i -" option instead of flamegraph.py, which causes no problem for "perf script", but causes a seg fault since flamegraph.py has no input file. To fix this I added the "-i -" option directly to the flamegraph-report script to ensure flamegraph.py gets input from stdin.

2020-05-05perf flamegraph: Use /bin/bash for report and record scriptsArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
As all the other tools/perf/scripts/python/bin/*-{report,record} scripts, fixing the this problem reported by Daniel Diaz: Our OpenEmbedded builds detected an issue with 5287f9269206 ("perf script: Add flamegraph.py script"): ERROR: perf-1.0-r9 do_package_qa: QA Issue: /usr/libexec/perf-core/scripts/python/bin/flamegraph-report contained in package perf-python requires /usr/bin/sh, but no providers found in RDEPENDS_perf-python? [file-rdeps] This means that there is a new binary pulled in in the shebang line which was unaccounted for: `/usr/bin/sh`. I don't see any other usage of /usr/bin/sh in the kernel tree (does not even exist on my Ubuntu dev machine) but plenty of /bin/sh.

2020-04-16perf script: Add flamegraph.py scriptAndreas Gerstmayr
This script works in tandem with d3-flame-graph to generate flame graphs from perf. It supports two output formats: JSON and HTML (the default). The HTML format will look for a standalone d3-flame-graph template file in /usr/share/d3-flame-graph/d3-flamegraph-base.html and fill in the collected stacks. Usage: perf record -a -g -F 99 sleep 60 perf script report flamegraph Combined: perf script flamegraph -a -F 99 sleep 60 Committer testing: Tested both with "PYTHON=python3" and with the default, that uses python2-devel: Complete set of instructions: $ mkdir /tmp/build/perf $ make PYTHON=python3 -C tools/perf O=/tmp/build/perf install-bin $ export PATH=~/bin:$PATH $ perf record -a -g -F 99 sleep 60 $ perf script report flamegraph Now go and open the generated flamegraph.html file in a browser. At first this required building with PYTHON=python3, but after I reported this Andreas was kind enough to send a patch making it work with both python and python3.
