at each Linux release.
Data profiling:
- Associate samples that identify loads and stores with data
structures. This uses events available on Intel, AMD and others and
DWARF info:
# To get memory access samples in kernel for 1 second (on Intel)
$ perf mem record -a -K --ldlat=4 -- sleep 1
# Similar for the AMD (but it requires 6.3+ kernel for BPF filters)
$ perf mem record -a --filter 'mem_op == load || mem_op == store, ip > 0x8000000000000000' -- sleep 1
Then, amongst several modes of post processing, one can do things like:
$ perf report -s type,typeoff --hierarchy --group --stdio
...

This uses the existing annotate code, calling objdump to do the
disassembly, with improvements to avoid having this take too long,
but longer term a switch to a disassembler library, possibly
reusing code in the kernel will be pursued.
This is the initial implementation, please use it and report
impressions and bugs. Make sure the kernel-debuginfo packages match
the running kernel. The 'perf report' phase for non short perf.data
files may take a while.
There is a great article about it on LWN:

<SNIP>
perf top/report:
- Don't ignore job control, allowing control+Z + bg to work.
- Add s390 raw data interpretation for PAI (Processor Activity
Instrumentation) counters.
perf archive:
- Add new option '--all' to pack perf.data with DSOs.
- Add new option '--unpack' to expand tarballs.
Initialization speedups:
- Lazily initialize zstd streams to save memory when not using it.
- Lazily allocate/size mmap event copy.
- Lazy load kernel symbols in 'perf record'.
- Be lazier in allocating lost samples buffer in 'perf record'.
- Don't synthesize BPF events when disabled via the command line
(perf record --no-bpf-event).
Assorted improvements:
- Show note on AMD systems that the :p, :pp, :ppp and :P are all the
same, as IBS (Instruction Based Sampling) is used and it is
inherentely precise, not having levels of precision like in Intel
systems.
- When 'cycles' isn't available, fall back to the "task-clock" event
when not system wide, not to 'cpu-clock'.
- Add --debug-file option to redirect debug output, e.g.:
$ perf --debug-file /tmp/perf.log record -v true
- Shrink 'struct map' to under one cacheline by avoiding function
pointers for selecting if addresses are identity or DSO relative,
and using just a byte for some boolean struct members.
- Resolve the arch specific strerrno just once to use in
perf_env__arch_strerrno().
- Reduce memory for recording PERF_RECORD_LOST_SAMPLES event.
Assorted fixes:
- Fix the default 'perf top' usage on Intel hybrid systems, now it
starts with a browser showing the number of samples for Efficiency
(cpu_atom/cycles/P) and Performance (cpu_core/cycles/P). This
behaviour is similar on ARM64, with its respective set of
big.LITTLE processors.
- Fix segfault on build_mem_topology() error path.
- Fix 'perf mem' error on hybrid related to availability of mem event
in a PMU.
- Fix missing reference count gets (map, maps) in the db-export code.
- Avoid recursively taking env->bpf_progs.lock in the 'perf_env'
code.
- Use the newly introduced maps__for_each_map() to add missing
locking around iteration of 'struct map' entries.
- Parse NOTE segments until the build id is found, don't stop on the
first one, ELF files may have several such NOTE segments.
- Remove 'egrep' usage, its deprecated, use 'grep -E' instead.
- Warn first about missing libelf, not libbpf, that depends on
libelf.
- Use alternative to 'find ... -printf' as this isn't supported in
busybox.
- Address python 3.6 DeprecationWarning for string scapes.
- Fix memory leak in uniq() in libsubcmd.
- Fix man page formatting for 'perf lock'
- Fix some spelling mistakes.
perf tests:
- Fail shell tests that needs some symbol in perf itself if it is
stripped. These tests check if a symbol is resolved, if some hot
function is indeed detected by profiling, etc.
- The 'perf test sigtrap' test is currently failing on PREEMPT_RT,
skip it if sleeping spinlocks are detected (using BTF) and point to
the mailing list discussion about it. This test is also being
skipped on several architectures (powerpc, s390x, arm and aarch64)
due to other pending issues with intruction breakpoints.
- Adjust test case perf record offcpu profiling tests for s390.
- Fix 'Setup struct perf_event_attr' fails on s390 on z/VM guest,
addressing issues caused by the fallback from cycles to task-clock
done in this release.
- Fix mask for VG register in the user-regs test.
- Use shellcheck on 'perf test' shell scripts automatically to make
sure changes don't introduce things it flags as problematic.
- Add option to change objdump binary and allow it to be set via
'perf config'.
- Add basic 'perf script', 'perf list --json" and 'perf diff' tests.
- Basic branch counter support.
- Make DSO tests a suite rather than individual.
- Remove atomics from test_loop to avoid test failures.
- Fix call chain match on powerpc for the record+probe_libc_inet_pton
test.
- Improve Intel hybrid tests.
Vendor event files (JSON):
powerpc:
- Update datasource event name to fix duplicate events on IBM's
Power10.
- Add PVN for HX-C2000 CPU with Power8 Architecture.

https://www.starfivetech.com/en/site/cpu-u
- Add T-HEAD C9xx JSON file.
https://github.com/riscv-software-src/opensbi/blob/master/docs/platform/thead-c9xx.md
ARM64:
- Remove UTF-8 characters from cmn.json, that were causing build
failure in some distros.
- Add core PMU events and metrics for Ampere One X.
- Rename Ampere One's BPU_FLUSH_MEM_FAULT to GPC_FLUSH_MEM_FAULT
libperf:
- Rename several perf_cpu_map constructor names to clarify what they
really do.
- Ditto for some other methods, coping with some issues in their
semantics, like perf_cpu_map__empty() ->
perf_cpu_map__has_any_cpu_or_is_empty().
- Document perf_cpu_map__nr()'s behavior
perf stat:
- Exit if parse groups fails.
- Combine the -A/--no-aggr and --no-merge options.
- Fix help message for --metric-no-threshold option.
Hardware tracing:
ARM64 CoreSight:
- Bump minimum OpenCSD version to ensure a bugfix is present.
- Add 'T' itrace option for timestamp trace
- Set start vm addr of exectable file to 0 and don't ignore first
sample on the arm-cs-trace-disasm.py 'perf script'"

commit 23baf831a32c ("mm, treewide: redefine MAX_ORDER sanely") has
changed the definition of MAX_ORDER to be inclusive. This has caused
issues with code that was not yet upstream and depended on the previous
definition.
To draw attention to the altered meaning of the define, rename MAX_ORDER
to MAX_PAGE_ORDER.

Support data type annotation with new --data-type option. It internally
uses type sort key to collect sample histogram for the type and display
every members like below.
$ perf annotate --data-type
...
Annotate type: 'struct cfs_rq' in [kernel.kallsyms] (13 samples):
============================================================================
samples offset size field
13 0 640 struct cfs_rq {
2 0 16 struct load_weight load {
2 0 8 unsigned long weight;
0 8 4 u32 inv_weight;
};
0 16 8 unsigned long runnable_weight;
0 24 4 unsigned int nr_running;
1 28 4 unsigned int h_nr_running;
...
For simplicity it prints the number of samples per field for now.
But it should be easy to show the overhead percentage instead.
The number at the outer struct is a sum of the numbers of the inner
members. For example, struct cfs_rq got total 13 samples, and 2 came
from the load (struct load_weight) and 1 from h_nr_running. Similarly,
the struct load_weight got total 2 samples and they all came from the
weight field.
I've added two new flags in the symbol_conf for this. The
annotate_data_member is to get the members of the type. This is also
needed for perf report with typeoff sort key. The annotate_data_sample
is to update sample stats for each offset and used only in annotate.
Currently it only support stdio output mode, TUI support can be added
later.
Committer testing:
With the perf.data from the previous csets, a very simple, short
duration one:
# perf annotate --data-type
Annotate type: 'struct list_head' in [kernel.kallsyms] (1 samples):
============================================================================
samples offset size field
1 0 16 struct list_head {
0 0 8 struct list_head* next;
1 8 8 struct list_head* prev;
};
Annotate type: 'char' in [kernel.kallsyms] (1 samples):
============================================================================
samples offset size field
1 0 1 char ;

The 'type' sort key is to aggregate hist entries by data type they
access. Add mem_type field to hist_entry struct to save the type. If
hist_entry__get_data_type() returns NULL, it'd use the 'unknown_type'
instance.

The -A or --no-aggr option disables aggregation of core events:
$ perf stat -A -e cycles,data_total -a true
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
CPU0 1,287,665 cycles
CPU1 1,831,681 cycles

The --no-merge option disables the aggregation of uncore events:
$ perf stat --no-merge -e cycles,data_total -a true
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

Having two options confuses users who generally don't appreciate the
difference in PMUs. Keep all the options but make it so they all
disable aggregation both of core and uncore events:
$ perf stat -A -e cycles,data_total -a true
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
CPU0 85,878 cycles
CPU1 88,179 cycles
