x86/rdrand: Disable RDSEED on AMD Cyan Skillfish

2025-07-08T19:33:26+00:00

AMD Cyan Skillfish (Family 17h, Model 47h, Stepping 0h) has an error that
causes RDSEED to always return 0xffffffff, while RDRAND works correctly.

Mask the RDSEED cap for this CPU so that both /proc/cpuinfo and direct CPUID
read report RDSEED as unavailable.

tools headers x86 cpufeatures: Sync with the kernel sources

2025-06-17T21:29:42+00:00

To pick the changes from:

  159013a7ca18c271 ("x86/its: Enumerate Indirect Target Selection (ITS) bug")

  d88bb2ded2efdc38 ("KVM: x86: Advertise support for AMD's PREFETCHI")

This causes these perf files to be rebuilt and brings some X86_FEATURE
that may be used by:

      CC       /tmp/build/perf/bench/mem-memset-x86-64-asm.o

tools arch amd ibs: Sync ibs.h with the kernel sources

2025-06-17T19:53:22+00:00

To pick up the changes from:

  861c6b1185fbb2e3 ("x86/platform/amd: Add standard header guards to ")

A small change to tools/perf/check-headers.sh was made to cope with the
move of this header done in:

  3846389c03a85188 ("x86/platform/amd: Move the  header to ")

That don't result in any changes in the tools, just address this perf
build warning:

tools arch x86: Sync the msr-index.h copy with the kernel sources

2025-06-16T17:05:11+00:00

To pick up the changes from these csets:

  159013a7ca18c271 ("x86/its: Enumerate Indirect Target Selection (ITS) bug")
  f4138de5e41fae1a ("x86/msr: Standardize on u64 in ")
  ec980e4facef8110 ("perf/x86/intel: Support auto counter reload")

That cause no changes to tooling as it doesn't include a new MSR to be
captured by the tools/perf/trace/beauty/tracepoints/x86_msr.sh script.

Just silences this perf build warning:

2025-06-03T22:11:44+00:00

Pull perf tools updates from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
 "perf report/top/annotate TUI:

   - Accept the left arrow key as a Zoom out if done on the first column

   - Show if source code toggle status in title, to help spotting bugs
     with the various disassemblers (capstone, llvm, objdump)

   - Provide feedback on unhandled hotkeys

  Build:

   - Better inform when certain features are not available with warnings
     in the build process and in 'perf version --build-options' or 'perf -vv'

  perf record:

   - Improve the --off-cpu code by synthesizing events for switch-out ->
     switch-in intervals using a BPF program. This can be fine tuned
     using a --off-cpu-thresh knob

  perf report:

   - Add 'tgid' sort key

  perf mem/c2c:

   - Add 'op', 'cache', 'snoop', 'dtlb' output fields

   - Add support for 'ldlat' on AMD IBS (Instruction Based Sampling)

  perf ftrace:

   - Use process/session specific trace settings instead of messing with
     the global ftrace knobs

  perf trace:

   - Implement syscall summary in BPF

   - Support --summary-mode=cgroup

   - Always print return value for syscalls returning a pid

   - The rseq and set_robust_list don't return a pid, just -errno

  perf lock contention:

   - Symbolize zone->lock using BTF

   - Add -J/--inject-delay option to estimate impact on application
     performance by optimization of kernel locking behavior

  perf stat:

   - Improve hybrid support for the NMI watchdog warning

  Symbol resolution:

   - Handle 'u' and 'l' symbols in /proc/kallsyms, resolving some Rust
     symbols

   - Improve Rust demangler

  Hardware tracing:

  Intel PT:

   - Fix PEBS-via-PT data_src

   - Do not default to recording all switch events

   - Fix pattern matching with python3 on the SQL viewer script

  arm64:

   - Fixups for the hip08 hha PMU

  Vendor events:

   - Update Intel events/metrics files for alderlake, alderlaken,
     arrowlake, bonnell, broadwell, broadwellde, broadwellx,
     cascadelakex, clearwaterforest, elkhartlake, emeraldrapids,
     grandridge, graniterapids, haswell, haswellx, icelake, icelakex,
     ivybridge, ivytown, jaketown, lunarlake, meteorlake, nehalemep,
     nehalemex, rocketlake, sandybridge, sapphirerapids, sierraforest,
     skylake, skylakex, snowridgex, tigerlake, westmereep-dp,
     westmereep-sp, westmereep-sx

  python support:

   - Add support for event counts in the python binding, add a
     counting.py example

  perf list:

   - Display the PMU name associated with a perf metric in JSON

  perf test:

   - Hybrid improvements for metric value validation test

   - Fix LBR test by ignoring idle task

   - Add AMD IBS sw filter ana d'ldlat' tests

   - Add 'perf trace --summary-mode=cgroup' test

   - Add tests for the various language symbol demanglers

  Miscellaneous:

   - Allow specifying the cpu an event will be tied using '-e
     event/cpu=N/'

   - Sync various headers with the kernel sources

   - Add annotations to use clang's -Wthread-safety and fix some
     problems it detected

   - Make dump_stack() use perf's symbol resolution to provide better
     backtraces

   - Intel TPEBS support cleanups and fixes. TPEBS stands for Timed PEBS
     (Precision Event-Based Sampling), that adds timing info, the
     retirement latency of instructions

   - Various memory allocation (some detected by ASAN) and reference
     counting fixes

   - Add a 8-byte aligned PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED2 to replace
     PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED

   - Skip unsupported event types in perf.data files, don't stop when
     finding one

   - Improve lookups using hashmaps and binary searches"
