Merge tag 'perf-tools-for-v6.3-1-2023-02-22' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux
Pull perf tools updates from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo: "Miscellaneous: - Add Ian Rogers to MAINTAINERS as a perf tools reviewer. - Add support for retire latency feature (pipeline stall of a instruction compared to the previous one, in cycles) present on some Intel processors. - Add 'perf c2c' report option to show false sharing with adjacent cachelines, to be used in machines with cacheline prefetching, where accesses to a cacheline brings the next one too. - Skip 'perf test bpf' when the required kernel-debuginfo package isn't installed. - Avoid d3-flame-graph package dependency in 'perf script flamegraph', making this feature more generally available. - Add JSON metric events to present CPI stall cycles in Power10. - Assorted improvements/refactorings on the JSON metrics parsing code. perf lock contention: - Add -o/--lock-owner option: $ sudo ./perf lock contention -abo -- ./perf bench sched pipe # Running 'sched/pipe' benchmark: # Executed 1000000 pipe operations between two processes Total time: 4.766 [sec] 4.766540 usecs/op 209795 ops/sec contended total wait max wait avg wait pid owner 403 565.32 us 26.81 us 1.40 us -1 Unknown 4 27.99 us 8.57 us 7.00 us 1583145 sched-pipe 1 8.25 us 8.25 us 8.25 us 1583144 sched-pipe 1 2.03 us 2.03 us 2.03 us 5068 chrome The owner is unknown in most cases.

Intel PT: - Add support for synthesizing "cycle" events from Intel PT traces as we support "instruction" events when Intel PT CYC packets are available. This enables much more accurate profiles than when using the regular 'perf record -e cycles' (the default) when the workload lasts for very short periods (<10ms). - .plt symbol handling improvements, better handling IBT (in the past MPX) done in the context of decoding Intel PT processor traces, IFUNC symbols on x86_64, static executables, understanding .plt.got symbols on x86_64. - Add a 'perf test' to test symbol resolution, part of the .plt improvements series, this tests things like symbol size in contexts where only the symbol start is available (kallsyms), etc. - Better handle auxtrace/Intel PT data when using pipe mode (perf record sleep 1|perf report). - Fix symbol lookup with kcore with multiple segments match stext, getting the symbol resolution to just show DSOs as unknown. ARM: - Timestamp improvements for ARM64 systems with ETMv4 (Embedded Trace Macrocell v4). - Ensure ARM64 CoreSight timestamps don't go backwards. - Document that ARM64 SPE (Statistical Profiling Extension) is used with 'perf c2c/mem'. - Add raw decoding for ARM64 SPEv1.2 previous branch address. - Update neoverse-n2-v2 ARM vendor events (JSON tables): topdown L1, TLB, cache, branch, PE utilization and instruction mix metrics. - Update decoder code for OpenCSD version 1.4, on ARM64 systems. - Fix command line auto-complete of CPU events on aarch64. Build: - Fix 'perf probe' and 'perf test' when libtraceevent isn't linked, as several tests use tracepoints, those should be skipped. - More fallout fixes for the removal of tools/lib/traceevent/. - Fix build error when linking with libpfm" * tag 'perf-tools-for-v6.3-1-2023-02-22' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux: (114 commits) perf tests stat_all_metrics: Change true workload to sleep workload for system wide check perf vendor events power10: Add JSON metric events to present CPI stall cycles in powerpc perf intel-pt: Synthesize cycle events perf c2c: Add report option to show false sharing in adjacent cachelines perf record: Fix segfault with --overwrite and --max-size perf stat: Avoid merging/aggregating metric counts twice perf tools: Fix perf tool build error in util/pfm.c perf tools: Fix auto-complete on aarch64 perf lock contention: Support old rw_semaphore type perf lock contention: Add -o/--lock-owner option perf lock contention: Fix to save callstack for the default modified perf test bpf: Skip test if kernel-debuginfo is not present perf probe: Update the exit error codes in function try_to_find_probe_trace_event perf script: Fix missing Retire Latency fields option documentation perf event x86: Add retire_lat when synthesizing PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT perf test x86: Support the retire_lat (Retire Latency) sample_type check perf test bpf: Check for libtraceevent support perf script: Support Retire Latency perf report: Support Retire Latency perf lock contention: Support filters for different aggregation ...
