Make struct annotation_options own the strings objdump_path and disassembler_style, freeing them on exit. Add missing strdup for disassembler_style when read from a config file. Committer notes: Converted free(obj->member) to zfree(&obj->member) in annotation_options__exit() Signed-off-by:

Ian Rogers authored
The annotation__default_options global variable was used to initialize annotation_options. Switch to the init/exit pattern as later changes will give ownership over strings and this will be necessary to avoid memory leaks. Committer note: Fix the GTK2=1 build, hist_entry__gtk_annotate() needs to receive a 'struct annotation_options' pointer. Signed-off-by:

Commit 3c22ba52 ("perf vendor events powerpc: Update POWER9 events") added and updated power9 PMU JSON events. However some of the JSON events which are part of other.json and pipeline.json files, contains UTF-8 characters in their brief description. Having UTF-8 character could breaks the perf build on some distros. Fix this issue by removing the UTF-8 characters from other.json and pipeline.json files.

This is a follow up patch for the execve bench which is actually fork + execve, it makes sense to add the fork syscall benchmark to compare the execve part precisely. Some archs have no __NR_fork definition which is used only as a check condition to call test_fork(), let us just define it as -1 to avoid build error. Suggested-by:

The earlier commit f0cdde28 ("perf hist: Improve srcfile sort key performance") updated the srcfile logic but missed to change the ->cmp() callback which is called for every sample. It should use the same logic like in the srcline to speed up the processing because it'd return the same information repeatedly for the same address. The real processing will be done in sort__srcfile_collapse(). Fixes: f0cdde28 ("perf hist: Improve srcfile sort key performance") Signed-off-by:

Generated from the telemetry solution repo[1] with this command: ./generate.py <linux-repo>/tools/perf/ --telemetry-files \ ../../data/pmu/cpu/neoverse/neoverse-n1.json Since this data source now includes the SPE events for N1, it has diverged from A76 which means the folder has to be split. The new data also uses more fine grained grouping, but this will be consistent for all future products. Long PublicDescriptions are now included even for common events because this can include product specific details. For non verbose mode the common BriefDescriptions remain the same.

It's good not to release resources for a program when kernel cleans up memory space, this patch explicitly releases histograms entries with hists__delete_entries().

hists__add_entry_ops() doesn't allocate a new histogram entry if it has an existing entry for a KVM event, in this case, find_create_kvm_event() allocates a 'struct kvm_info' but it's not used by any histograms and never freed. To fix the memory leak, this patch first introduces a refcnt and a set of functions for refcnt operations on 'struct kvm_info'. When the data structure is not anymore used (the refcnt hits zero) kvm_info__zput() will free the memory used. Committer: Provide a nop version of kvm_info__zput() to be used when HAVE_KVM_STAT_SUPPORT isn't defined as it is used unconditionally in hists__findnew_entry() and hist_entry__delete().

Add 'simd' sort field to visualize SIMD ops in 'perf report'. Rows are labeled with the SIMD ISA, and the type of predicate (if any): - [p] partial predicate - [e] empty predicate (no elements in the vector being used) Example with Arm SPE and SVE (Scalable Vector Extension): #include <arm_sve.h> double src[1025], dst[1025]; int main(void) { svfloat64_t vc = svdup_f64(1); for(;;) for(int i = 0; i < 1025; i += svcntd()) { svbool_t pg = svwhilelt_b64(i, 1025); svfloat64_t vsrc = svld1(pg, &src[i]); svfloat64_t vdst = svadd_x(pg, vsrc, vc); svst1(pg, &dst[i], vdst); } return 0; } ... compiled using "gcc-11 -march=armv8-a+sve -O3" Profiling on a platform that implements FEAT_SVE and FEAT_SPEv1p1: $ perf record -e arm_spe_0// -- ./a.out $ perf report --itrace=i1i -s overhead,pid,simd,sym Overhead Pid:Command Simd Symbol ........ ................ ....... ...................... 53.76% 10758:program [.] main 46.14% 10758:program [.] SVE [.] main 0.09% 10758:program [p] SVE [.] main The report shows 0.09% of the sampled SVE operations use partial predicates due to src and dst arrays not being multiples of the vector register lengths.

Intel Flexible Return and Event Delivery (FRED) adds instructions ERETS (return to supervisor) and ERETU (return to user). Intel PT instruction decoder needs to know about these instructions because they are branch instructions. Similar to IRET instructions, when the decoder encounters one of these instructions it will match it to a TIP (target instruction pointer) packet that informs what the branch destination is. The existing "x86 instruction decoder - new instructions" test can be used to test the result e.g. $ perf test -v ins |& grep eret Decoded ok: f2 0f 01 ca erets Decoded ok: f3 0f 01 ca eretu Signed-off-by:
