bitops: make BYTES_TO_BITS() treewide-available

2026-07-24T14:03:47+00:00

[ Upstream commit 7d8296b250f2eed73f1758607926d4d258dea5d4 ]

Avoid open-coding that simple expression each time by moving
BYTES_TO_BITS() from the probes code to  to export
it to the rest of the kernel.
Simplify the macro while at it. `BITS_PER_LONG / sizeof(long)` always
equals to %BITS_PER_BYTE, regardless of the target architecture.
Do the same for the tools ecosystem as well (incl. its version of
bitops.h). The previous implementation had its implicit type of long,
while the new one is int, so adjust the format literal accordingly in
the perf code.

perf trace beauty fcntl: Fix build with older kernel headers

2026-07-24T14:02:38+00:00

commit 7ee7f48413c42b90230de4a8e40898b757bc8e82 upstream.

Toolchains with older kernel headers that do not include upstream commit
c75b1d9421f80f41 ("fs: add fcntl() interface for setting/getting write
life time hints") will now fail to build perf due to missing definitions
for F_GET_RW_HINT/F_SET_RW_HINT/F_GET_FILE_RW_HINT/F_SET_FILE_RW_HINT.

Provide a fallback definition for these when they are not already
defined.

perf util: Kill die() prototype, dead for a long time

2026-05-23T11:03:20+00:00

[ Upstream commit e5cce1b9c82fbd48e2f1f7a25a9fad8ee228176f ]

In fef2a735167a827a ("perf tools: Kill die()") the die() function was
removed, but not the prototype in util.h, now when building with
LIBPERL=1, during a 'make -C tools/perf build-test' routine test, it is
failing as perl likes die() calls and then this clashes with this
remnant, remove it.

perf expr: Return -EINVAL for syntax error in expr__find_ids()

2026-05-23T11:03:20+00:00

[ Upstream commit 3a61fd866ef9aaa1d3158b460f852b74a2df07f4 ]

expr__find_ids() propagates the parser return value directly.  For syntax
errors, the parser can return a positive value, but callers treat it as
success, e.g., for below case on Arm64 platform:

  metric expr 100 * (STALL_SLOT_BACKEND / (CPU_CYCLES * #slots) - BR_MIS_PRED * 3 / CPU_CYCLES) for backend_bound
  parsing metric: 100 * (STALL_SLOT_BACKEND / (CPU_CYCLES * #slots) - BR_MIS_PRED * 3 / CPU_CYCLES)
  Failure to read '#slots' literal: #slots = nan
  syntax error

Convert positive parser returns in expr__find_ids() to -EINVAL, as a
result, the error value will be respected by callers.

Before:

  perf stat -C 5
  Failure to read '#slots'Failure to read '#slots'Failure to read '#slots'Failure to read '#slots'Segmentation fault

After:

  perf stat -C 5
  Failure to read '#slots'Cannot find metric or group `Default'

perf lock: Fix option value type in parse_max_stack

[ Upstream commit cfaade34b52aa1ec553044255702c4b31b57c005 ]

The value is a void* and the address of an int, max_stack_depth, is
set up in the perf lock options. The parse_max_stack function treats
the int* as a long*, make this more correct by declaring the value to
be an int*.

perf: tools: cs-etm: Fix print issue for Coresight debug in ETE/TRBE trace

2026-05-23T11:03:20+00:00

[ Upstream commit 6c478e7b3eba3f387a2d6c749e3e3ee0f8ad1c53 ]

Building perf with CORESIGHT=1 and the optional CSTRACE_RAW=1 enables
additional debug printing of raw trace data when using command:-
perf report --dump.

This raw trace prints the CoreSight formatted trace frames, which may be
used to investigate suspected issues with trace quality / corruption /
decode.

These frames are not present in ETE + TRBE trace.
This fix removes the unnecessary call to print these frames.

This fix also rationalises implementation - original code had helper
function that unnecessarily repeated initialisation calls that had
already been made.

Due to an addtional fault with the OpenCSD library, this call when ETE/TRBE
are being decoded will cause a segfault in perf. This fix also prevents
that problem for perf using older (<= 1.8.0 version) OpenCSD libraries.

perf branch: Avoid incrementing NULL

[ Upstream commit c969a9d7bbf46f983c4a48566b3b2f7340b02296 ]

If the entry is NULL the value is meaningless so early return NULL to
avoid an increment of NULL. This was happening in calls from
has_stitched_lbr when running the "perf record LBR tests". The return
value isn't used in that case, so returning NULL as no effect.

Revert "perf unwind-libdw: Fix invalid reference counts"

2026-04-27T13:23:33+00:00

This reverts commit eddddf4ed7f69697cb54e714e773f764c8d3b67e.

Upstream commit f815fc0c66e7 ("perf unwind-libdw: Fix invalid reference counts"),
was backported to v6.6.128 as eddddf4ed7f6.

However, this commit depends on map_symbol__exit, which was introduced
in v6.7 as commit 56e144fe9826 ("perf mem_info: Add and use
map_symbol__exit and addr_map_symbol__exit") and is absent in v6.6.y.
This results in a build failure.

This is a revert of a backport, so there is no upstream commit.
