2026-04-08perf tools: Use calloc() where applicableArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Instead of using zalloc(nr_entries * sizeof_entry) that is what calloc() does. In some places where linux/zalloc.h isn't needed, remove it, add when needed and was getting it indirectly. Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org>
2026-04-02perf stat: Fix crash on arm64Breno Leitao
Perf stat is crashing on arm64 hosts with the following issue: # make -C tools/perf DEBUG=1 # perf stat sleep 1 perf: util/evsel.c:2034: get_group_fd: Assertion `!(!leader->core.fd)' failed. [1] 1220794 IOT instruction (core dumped) ./perf stat The sorting function introduced by commit a745c0831c15c ("perf stat: Sort default events/metrics") compares events based on their individual properties. This can cause events from different groups to be interleaved, resulting in group members appearing before their leaders in the sorted evlist. When the iterator opens events in list order, a group member may be processed before its leader has been opened. For example, CPU_CYCLES (idx=32) with leader STALL_SLOT_BACKEND (idx=37) could be sorted before its leader, causing the crash when CPU_CYCLES tries to get its group fd from the not-yet-opened leader. Fix this by comparing events based on their leader's attributes instead of their own attributes when the events are in different groups. This ensures all members of a group share the same sort key as their leader, keeping groups together and guaranteeing leaders are opened before their members.

2026-04-01libperf cpumap: Make index and nr types unsignedIan Rogers
The index into the cpumap array and the number of entries within the array can never be negative, so let's make them unsigned. This is prompted by reports that gcc 13 with -O6 is giving a alloc-size-larger-than errors. The change makes the cpumap changes and then updates the declaration of index variables throughout perf and libperf to be unsigned. The two things are hard to separate as compiler warnings about mixing signed and unsigned types breaks the build.

2026-03-26perf stat: Fix opt->value type for parse_cache_levelIan Rogers
Commit f5803651b4a4 ("perf stat: Choose the most disaggregate command line option") changed aggregation option handling for `perf stat` but not `perf stat report` leading to parse_cache_level being passed a struct in the `perf stat` case but erroneously an aggr_mode enum value for `perf stat report`. Change the `perf stat report` aggregation handling to use the same opt_aggr_mode as `perf stat`. Also, just pass the boolean for consistency with other boolean argument handling.

2026-02-10perf stat: Add no-affinity flagIan Rogers
Add flag that disables affinity behavior. Using sched_setaffinity() to place a perf thread on a CPU can avoid certain interprocessor interrupts but may introduce a delay due to the scheduling, particularly on loaded machines. Add a command line option to disable the behavior. This behavior is less present in other tools like `perf record`, as it uses a ring buffer and doesn't make repeated system calls.

2026-02-10perf evlist: Reduce affinity use and move into iterator, fix no affinityIan Rogers
The evlist__for_each_cpu iterator will call sched_setaffitinity when moving between CPUs to avoid IPIs. If only 1 IPI is saved then this may be unprofitable as the delay to get scheduled may be considerable. This may be particularly true if reading an event group in `perf stat` in interval mode. Move the affinity handling completely into the iterator so that a single evlist__use_affinity can determine whether CPU affinities will be used. For `perf record` the change is minimal as the dummy event and the real event will always make the use of affinities the thing to do. In `perf stat`, tool events are ignored and affinities only used if >1 event on the same CPU occur. Determining if affinities are useful is done by evlist__use_affinity which tests per-event whether the event's PMU benefits from affinity use - it is assumed only perf event using PMUs do. Fix a bug where when there are no affinities that the CPU map iterator may reference a CPU not present in the initial evsel. Fix by making the iterator and non-iterator code common.

To make perf's behavior consistent, just look up default events with their designated PMU types.

2025-10-13perf bpf_counter: Fix opening of "any"(-1) CPU eventsIan Rogers
The bperf BPF counter code doesn't handle "any"(-1) CPU events, always wanting to aggregate a count against a CPU, which avoids the need for atomics so let's not change that. Force evsels used for BPF counters to require a CPU when not in system-wide mode so that the "any"(-1) value isn't used during map propagation and evsel's CPU map matches that of the PMU.

2025-10-03perf stat: Refactor retry/skip/fatal error handlingIan Rogers
For the sake of Intel topdown events commit 9eac5612da1c9102 ("perf stat: Don't skip failing group events") changed 'perf stat' error handling making it so that more errors were fatal and didn't report "<not supported>" events. The change outside of topdown events was unintentional. The notion of "fatal" error handling was introduced in commit e0e6a6ca3ac211cc ("perf stat: Factor out open error handling") and refined in commits like commit cb5ef60067c11cc8 ("perf stat: Error out unsupported group leader immediately") to be an approach for avoiding later assertion failures in the code base. This change fixes those issues and removes the notion of a fatal error on an event. If all events fail to open then a fatal error occurs with the previous fatal error message. This seems to best match the notion of supported events and allowing some errors not to stop 'perf stat', while allowing the truly fatal no event case to terminate the tool early. The evsel->errored flag is only used in the stat code but always just meaning !evsel->supported although there is a comment about it being sticky. Force all evsels to be supported in evsel__init and then clear this when evsel__open fails. When an event is tried the supported is set to true again. This simplifies the notion of whether an evsel is broken. In the get_group_fd code, fail to get a group fd when the evsel isn't supported. If the leader isn't supported then it is also expected that there is no group_fd as the leader will have been skipped. Therefore change the BUG_ON test to be on supported rather than skippable. This corrects the assertion errors that were the reason for the previous fatal error handling.

2025-09-12perf stat: Don't skip failing group eventsIan Rogers
Pass errno to stat_handle_error() rather than reading errno after it has potentially been clobbered. Move "skippable" handling first as a skippable event (from the perf stat default list) should always just be skipped. Remove logic to skip rather than fail events in a group when they aren't the group leader. The original logic was added in commit cb5ef60067c1 ("perf stat: Error out unsupported group leader immediately") due to error handling and opening being together and an assertion being raised. Not failing this case causes broken groups to not report values, particularly for topdown events.

2025-05-13perf metricgroup: Binary search when resolving referred to metricsIan Rogers
Unlike with events, metrics can be matched by name or a list of metric groups. However, when a metric refers to another metric it isn't referring to a group but the singular metric in question. Prior to this change every "id" in a metric expression is checked to see if it is a metric by scanning all the metrics in the metrics table. As the table is sorted my metric name we can speed the search in the resolution case by binary searching for the metric.

2025-04-25perf intel-tpebs: Refactor tpebs_results listIan Rogers
evsel names and metric-ids are used for matching but this can be problematic, for example, multiple occurrences of the same retirement latency event become a single event for the record. Change the name of the record events so they are unique and reflect the evsel of the retirement latency event that opens them (the retirement latency event's evsel address is embedded within them). This allows an evsel based close to close the event when the retirement latency event is closed. This is important as 'perf stat' has an evlist and the session listen to the record events has an evlist, knowing which event should remove the tpebs_retire_lat can't be tied to an evlist list as there is more than 1, so closing which evlist should cause the tpebs to stop? Using the evsel and the last one out doing the tpebs_stop is cleaner. Committer notes: Fix the build on 32-bit systems by using unsigned long when converting pointers to integers instead of uint64_t.

2024-09-26perf stat: Remove evlist__add_default_attrs use stringsIan Rogers
add_default_atttributes would add evsels by having pre-created perf_event_attr, however, this needed fixing for hybrid as the extended PMU type was necessary for each core PMU. The logic for this was in an arch specific x86 function and wasn't present for ARM, meaning that default events weren't being opened on all PMUs on ARM. Change the creation of the default events to use parse_events and strings as that will open the events on all PMUs. Rather than try to detect events on PMUs before parsing, parse the event but skip its output in stat-display. The previous order of hardware events was: cycles, stalled-cycles-frontend, stalled-cycles-backend, instructions. As instructions is a more fundamental concept the order is changed to: instructions, cycles, stalled-cycles-frontend, stalled-cycles-backend.

2024-09-25perf stat: Stop repeating when ref_perf_stat() returns -1Levi Yun
Exit when run_perf_stat() returns an error to avoid continuously repeating the same error message. It's not expected that COUNTER_FATAL or internal errors are recoverable so there's no point in retrying. This fixes the following flood of error messages for permission issues, for example when perf_event_paranoid==3: perf stat -r 1044 -- false Error: Access to performance monitoring and observability operations is limited. ... Error: Access to performance monitoring and observability operations is limited. ... (repeating for 1044 times).

2024-08-13perf stat: Fork and launch 'perf record' when 'perf stat' needs to get ↵Weilin Wang
retire latency value for a metric. When retire_latency value is used in a metric formula, evsel would fork a 'perf record' process with "-e" and "-W" options. 'perf record' will collect required retire_latency values in parallel while 'perf stat' is collecting counting values. At the point of time that 'perf stat' stops counting, evsel would stop 'perf record' by sending sigterm signal to 'perf record' process. Sampled data will be processed to get retire latency value. Another thread is required to synchronize between 'perf stat' and 'perf record' when we pass data through pipe. Retire_latency evsel is not opened for 'perf stat' so that there is no counter wasted on it. This commit includes code suggested by Namhyung to adjust reading size for groups that include retire_latency evsels. In current :R parsing implementation, the parser would recognize events with retire_latency modifier and insert them into the evlist like a normal event. Ideally, we need to avoid counting these events. In this commit, at the time when a retire_latency evsel is read, set the retire latency value processed from the sampled data to count value. This sampled retire latency value will be used for metric calculation and final event count print out. No special metric calculation and event print out code required for retire_latency events.
