2026-09-29perf python event_analyzing_sample: Default to in-memory SQLite databaseIan Rogers
When -d/--db is not specified, event_analyzing_sample.py created a temporary file in /tmp via tempfile.mkstemp() and deleted it in trace_end(). As noted during review, creating the database in a shared /tmp directory does not reserve SQLite's auxiliary sidecar filenames (-journal or -wal), and a temporary on-disk file is unnecessary when the caller did not ask to persist the database. Default to sqlite3.connect(":memory:") when db_path is not provided, removing the temporary file creation and cleanup logic, and test both the default in-memory mode and explicit -d file mode in test_event_analyzing_sample_python.sh.

2026-09-29perf test: Reduce overhead and contention in Python shell testsIan Rogers
When all Python shell tests run concurrently during 'perf test' under heavy load: 1. Unfiltered 'perf list' initializes all hardware PMUs and metrics in each test process; use 'perf list tracepoint' when checking for tracepoint events. 2. Running 'perf record' without '-B -N --no-bpf-event' synthesizes BPF events across the system and caches build-ids into ~/.debug; add '-B -N --no-bpf-event' to all Python shell test recordings. 3. Drop '-a' in test_check_perf_trace_python.sh, test_rw_by_file_python.sh, test_rw_by_pid_python.sh, test_rwtop_python.sh, and test_syscall_counts_by_pid_python.sh where only a single child workload ('dd' or 'sleep') is tested, avoiding system-wide /proc synthesis and ringbuffer contention. 4. Add '-W 1' to 'ping -c 1' in test_net_dropmonitor_python.sh and test_netdev_times_python.sh, and narrow 'compaction:*' to 'compaction:mm_compaction_begin,compaction:mm_compaction_end' in test_compaction_times_python.sh.

2026-09-26perf script: Support standalone scripts and remove embedded scriptingIan Rogers
Refactor 'perf script' to launch standalone scripts directly via fork() and execvp() and remove the legacy embedded Perl and Python scripting engines: - Remove the embedded Perl scripting engine (util/scripting-engines/trace-event-perl.c), Perl scripts, bin wrappers, and Trace-Util library (scripts/perl/Perf-Trace-Util/), and script_perl.sh test. - Remove libperl feature checks from Makefile.config, Makefile.perf, builtin-check.c, and Documentation/perf-check.txt. - Remove -g / --gen-script option and scripting_ops dispatch table from builtin-script.c and trace-event-scripting.c. - Hide the legacy -s / --script option and update script discovery in find_script() and list_available_scripts() to prioritize the system 'python' directory over bare filenames in the current directory. - Update the Python script shell tests (test_arm_coresight_disasm.sh, test_task_analyzer.sh, and test_*_python.sh) to invoke scripts via 'perf script <script>' rather than running the Python interpreter directly on the script file path.

2026-09-26perf python: Port event_analyzing_sample to perf moduleIan Rogers
Port event_analyzing_sample.py to a standalone script in tools/perf/python/ using the perf module and standard library sqlite3 module. Improvements compared to the legacy script: - Encapsulate database state in a _DB container instead of mutating module-level globals, and ensure temporary SQLite database files are cleaned up on exit. - Add argparse CLI options (-i/--input and -d/--db) while preserving PerfEvent, PebsEvent, and PebsNHM binary raw_buf unpacking and symbol/DSO histogram reporting. - Remove Python 2 compatibility code and add type annotations. Add a shell test (test_event_analyzing_sample_python.sh) to verify the standalone script.
