* [PATCH rc v3 0/5] iommu/arm-smmu-v3: Fix device crash on kdump kernel
From: Nicolin Chen @ 2026-04-25 21:30 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: will, robin.murphy, jgg, kevin.tian
  Cc: joro, praan, baolu.lu, miko.lenczewski, smostafa,
	linux-arm-kernel, iommu, linux-kernel, stable, jamien

When transitioning to a kdump kernel, the primary kernel might have crashed
while endpoint devices were actively bus-mastering DMA. Currently, the SMMU
driver aggressively resets the hardware during probe by clearing CR0_SMMUEN
and setting the Global Bypass Attribute (GBPA) to ABORT.

In a kdump scenario, this aggressive reset is highly destructive:
a) If GBPA is set to ABORT, in-flight DMA will be aborted, generating fatal
   PCIe AER or SErrors that may panic the kdump kernel
b) If GBPA is set to BYPASS, in-flight DMA targeting some IOVAs will bypass
   the SMMU and corrupt the physical memory at those 1:1 mapped IOVAs.

To safely absorb in-flight DMA, the kdump kernel must leave SMMUEN=1 intact
and avoid modifying STRTAB_BASE. This allows HW to continue translating in-
flight DMA using the crashed kernel's page tables until the endpoint device
drivers probe and quiesce their respective hardware.

However, the ARM SMMUv3 architecture specification states that updating the
SMMU_STRTAB_BASE register while SMMUEN == 1 is UNPREDICTABLE or ignored.

This leaves a kdump kernel no choice but to adopt the stream table from the
crashed kernel.

In this series:
 - Introduce an ARM_SMMU_OPT_KDUMP_ADOPT
 - Skip SMMUEN and STRTAB_BASE resets in arm_smmu_device_reset()
 - Skip EVENTQ and PRIQ setups including interrupts and their handlers
 - Memremap the crashed kernel's stream tables into the kdump kernel [*]
 - Defer any default domain attachment to retain STEs until device drivers
   explicitly request it.

[*] This only works on a coherent SMMU.

For non-ARM_SMMU_OPT_KDUMP_ADOPT cases, keep a status quo since the commit
3f54c447df34f ("iommu/arm-smmu-v3: Don't disable SMMU in kdump kernel"):
full reset followed by driver-initiated reattach, potentially rejecting any
in-flight DMA.

Note that the series requires Jason's work that was merged in v6.12: commit
85196f54743d ("iommu/arm-smmu-v3: Reorganize struct arm_smmu_strtab_cfg").
I have a backported version that is verified with a v6.8 kernel. I can send
if we see a strong need after this version is accepted.

* [PATCH rc v3 2/5] iommu/arm-smmu-v3: Implement is_attach_deferred() for kdump
From: Nicolin Chen @ 2026-04-25 21:30 UTC (permalink / raw)

  Cc: joro, praan, baolu.lu, miko.lenczewski, smostafa,

In-Reply-To: <cover.1777150307.git.nicolinc@nvidia.com>

Though the kdump kernel adopts the crashed kernel's stream table, the iommu
core will still try to attach each probed device to a default domain, which
overwrites the adopted STE and breaks in-flight DMA from that device.

Implement an is_attach_deferred() callback to prevent this. For each device
that has STE.V=1 and STE.Cfg!=Abort in the adopted table, defer the default
domain attachment, until the device driver explicitly requests it.

* [PATCH rc v3 3/5] iommu/arm-smmu-v3: Retain CR0_SMMUEN during kdump device reset

When ARM_SMMU_OPT_KDUMP_ADOPT is detected, do not disable SMMUEN and skip
the CR1/CR2/STRTAB_BASE update sequence in arm_smmu_device_reset(). Those
register writes are all CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE while CR0_SMMUEN==1, so
leaving them intact lets in-flight DMAs continue to be translated by the
adopted stream table.

Initialize 'enables' to 0 so it can carry CR0_SMMUEN in kdump case. Then,
preserve that when enabling the command queue.

Clear latched gerror bits if necessary.

In-Reply-To: <cover.1777150307.git.nicolinc@nvidia.com>

In kdump cases, the crashed kernel's CDs and page tables can be corrupted,
which could trigger event spamming. Also, we cannot serve page requests.

Skip the EVTQ/PRIQ setup entirely rather than enabling then disabling them.

Skip the IRQ setup and guard their thread functions as well.

Also add some inline comments explaining that.

From: Nicolin Chen @ 2026-04-25 21:30 UTC (permalink / raw)

In-Reply-To: <cover.1777150307.git.nicolinc@nvidia.com>

When transitioning to a kdump kernel, the primary kernel might have crashed
while endpoint devices were actively bus-mastering DMA. Currently, the SMMU
driver aggressively resets the hardware during probe by clearing CR0_SMMUEN
and setting the Global Bypass Attribute (GBPA) to ABORT.

In a kdump scenario, this aggressive reset is highly destructive:
a) If GBPA is set to ABORT, in-flight DMA will be aborted, generating fatal
   PCIe AER or SErrors that may panic the kdump kernel
b) If GBPA is set to BYPASS, in-flight DMA targeting some IOVAs will bypass
   the SMMU and corrupt the physical memory at those 1:1 mapped IOVAs.

To safely absorb in-flight DMAs, a kdump kernel will have to leave SMMUEN=1
intact and avoid modifying STRTAB_BASE, allowing HW to continue translating
in-flight DMAs reusing the crashed kernel's page tables until the endpoint
device drivers probe and quiesce their respective hardware.

However, the ARM SMMUv3 architecture specification states that updating the
SMMU_STRTAB_BASE register while SMMUEN == 1 is UNPREDICTABLE or ignored.

This leaves a kdump kernel no choice but to adopt the stream table from the
crashed kernel.

Introduce ARM_SMMU_OPT_KDUMP_ADOPT and its pairing arm_smmu_adopt_strtab(),
which does memremap on all the stream tables extracted from STRTAB_BASE and
STRTAB_BASE_CFG. This new option will be set in arm_smmu_device_hw_probe()
in a following change.

Note that the adoption of the crashed kernel's stream table follows certain
strict rules, since the old stream table might be compromised. Thus, apply
a series of validations against the values read from the registers. If any
address or size doesn't pass the test, it means the stream table cannot be
trusted, so toss it completely.

* [PATCH rc v3 5/5] iommu/arm-smmu-v3: Detect ARM_SMMU_OPT_KDUMP_ADOPT in probe()

In-Reply-To: <cover.1777150307.git.nicolinc@nvidia.com>

arm_smmu_device_hw_probe() runs before arm_smmu_init_structures(), so it's
natural to decide whether the kdump kernel must adopt the crashed kernel's
stream table.

Given that memremap is used to adopt the old stream table, set this option
only on a coherent SMMU.

And make sure SMMU isn't in Service Failure Mode.

I think it would be nice to mention:
- In the commit for the bindings, that the device can be running
  uncontrolled or it can be attached over I2C, bindings describe the
  uncontrolled mode.
- In this commit message, the same.
- In the commit message for the board DT mention your findings about the
  board, mention soldering R9 or R17 (which one?) and R27.

A follow-up runtime data point on this series.

Fleet state at 2026-04-25 21:46 UTC:

  * Patched uptime (since staggered rollout 2026-04-24 18:10-19:20 UTC):
    - shortest: 26h 26m   (last master upgraded)
    - longest:  27h 34m   (canary)
    - cumulative across 24 nodes: ~651 node-hours

  * Macb-attributable event counts (out-of-band userspace watchdog;
    the [tx-stall] detector watches /sys/class/net/end0/statistics/
    tx_packets + qdisc backlog every 1 s and would have fired
    ip link down/up if any node's TX path froze):
    - RECOVER trigger=tx-stall (actual stalls caught):    0
    - partial [tx-stall] markers (transient 1 s freezes): 0

  * Separately: 40 RECOVER events with trigger=ping fired in this
    window across the fleet, attributable to a brief upstream-network
    outage (gateway / switch event); each node simultaneously lost ping
    to gateway, VIP, and NAS within seconds of each other, then
    recovered.  These are unrelated to the macb hang the patch series
    targets — distinguishing them from a real TX stall is exactly what
    the trigger= tag in the watchdog log is for.

At the pre-patch rate referenced in the cover letter (50 stalls in
95 node-hours observed in our 2026-04-24 14:00-18:10 UTC reference
window, ~0.5 per node-hour), the projected stall count in
651 node-hours is on the order of 342;
observed is 0.

Same observability runs forward; will reply again after a full week
of uptime unless something changes.

* [PATCH v7 01/59] perf inject: Fix itrace branch stack synthesis
From: Ian Rogers @ 2026-04-25 22:40 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: acme, adrian.hunter, james.clark, leo.yan, namhyung, tmricht

In-Reply-To: <20260425224125.160890-1-irogers@google.com>

When using "perf inject --itrace=L" to synthesize branch stacks from
AUX data, several issues caused failures:

1. The synthesized samples were delivered without the
   PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK flag if it was not in the original event's
   sample_type. Fixed by using sample_type | evsel->synth_sample_type
   in intel_pt_deliver_synth_event.

2. The record layout was misaligned because of inconsistent handling
   of PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_HW_INDEX. Fixed by explicitly writing nr and
   hw_idx in perf_event__synthesize_sample.

3. Modifying evsel->core.attr.sample_type early in __cmd_inject caused
   parse failures for subsequent records in the input file. Fixed by
   moving this modification to just before writing the header.

4. perf_event__repipe_sample was narrowed to only synthesize samples
   when branch stack injection was requested, and restored the use of
   perf_inject__cut_auxtrace_sample as a fallback to preserve
   functionality.

Issues fixed in v2:

1. Potential Heap Overflow in perf_event__repipe_sample : Addressed by
   adding a check that prints an error and returns -EFAULT if the
   calculated event size exceeds PERF_SAMPLE_MAX_SIZE , as you
   requested.

2. Header vs Payload Mismatch in __cmd_inject : Addressed by narrowing
   the condition so that HEADER_BRANCH_STACK is only set in the file
   header if add_last_branch was true.

3. NULL Pointer Dereference in intel-pt.c : Addressed by updating the
   condition in intel_pt_do_synth_pebs_sample to fill sample.
   branch_stack if it was synthesized, even if not in the original
   sample_type .

4. Unsafe Reads for events lacking HW_INDEX in synthetic-events.c :
   Addressed by using the perf_sample__branch_entries() macro and
   checking sample->no_hw_idx .

5. Size mismatch in perf_event__sample_event_size : Addressed by
   passing branch_sample_type to it and conditioning the hw_idx size on
   PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_HW_INDEX .

The perf script command has long supported running Python and Perl scripts by
embedding libpython and libperl. This approach has several drawbacks:
 - overhead by creating Python dictionaries for every event (whether used or
   not),
 - complex build dependencies on specific Python/Perl versions,
 - complications with threading due to perf being the interpreter,
 - no clear way to run standalone scripts like ilist.py.

This series takes a different approach with some initial implementation posted
as an RFC last October:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-perf-users/20251029053413.355154-1-irogers@google.com/
with the motivation coming up on the mailing list earlier:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAP-5=fWDqE8SYfOLZkg_0=4Ayx6E7O+h7uUp4NDeCFkiN4b7-w@mail.gmail.com/

The changes remove the embedded libpython and libperl support from perf
entirely. Instead, they expand the existing perf Python module to provide full
access to perf data files and events, allowing scripts to be run as standalone
Python applications.

To demonstrate the benefits, we ported all existing Python and Perl scripts to
use the new Python session API. The performance improvement is dramatic. For
example, porting mem-phys-addr.py:

Before (using embedded libpython in perf script):
```
$ perf mem record a sleep 1
$ time perf script tools/perf/scripts/python/mem-phys-addr.py
Event: cpu_core/mem-loads-aux/
Memory type                                    count  percentage
 ---------------------------------------  ----------  ----------
0-fff : Reserved                                3217       100.0

real    0m3.754s
user    0m0.023s
sys     0m0.018s
```

After (using standalone Python script with perf module):
```
$ PYTHONPATH=/tmp/perf/python time python3 tools/perf/python/mem-phys-addr.py
Event: evsel(cpu_core/mem-loads-aux/)
Memory type                                    count  percentage
 ---------------------------------------  ----------  ----------
0-fff : Reserved                                3217       100.0

real    0m0.106s
user    0m0.021s
sys     0m0.020s
```

This is a roughly 35x speedup!

The change is large (11291 insertions, 15964 deletions, net 4673
deletions) due to porting all existing perl and python code to the new
API. Gemini was used to achieve this and to improve the code
quality. Removing support may be controversial, however, the first 52
patches are additive and merging those would allow us to focus on the
remaining 6 patches that finalize the new perf script behavior.

---
v7 Changes
----------
- Fixed heap out-of-bounds in `pyrf_event__new` by adding comprehensive
  size checks for all event types.
- Fixed undefined symbol `syscalltbl__id` when building without
  libtraceevent by making `syscalltbl.o` unconditional in `Build`.
- Fixed several issues in `python.c`:
    - Handled NULL return from `thread__comm_str` in `pyrf_thread__comm`.
    - Avoided swallowing exceptions in module initialization.
    - Added custom `tp_new` methods for `evlist`, `evsel`, and `data` types
      to zero-initialize pointers and avoid crashes on re-initialization.
- Fixed lower priority review comments:
    - Avoided permanent iterator exhaustion on `brstack` in
      `perf_brstack_max.py` by converting it to a list.
    - Removed dead code (unused `self.unhandled` dictionary) in
      `failed-syscalls-by-pid.py`.

v6 Changes
----------
- Refactored `pyrf_event__new` to take `evsel` and `session` arguments,
  and use dynamic allocation based on the actual event size to improve
  memory safety and efficiency.
- Moved callchain and branch stack resolution logic from
  `pyrf_session_tool__sample` into `pyrf_event__new`, centralizing
  initialization.
- Added an optional keyword-only `elf_machine` argument to `syscall_name`
  and `syscall_id` functions to allow specifying non-host architectures,
  defaulting to `EM_HOST`.
- Renamed `process` method to `find_thread` in the Python API and C
  implementation for better intention-revealing naming.
- Fixed a terminal injection vulnerability in `flamegraph.py` by not
  printing unverified downloaded content in the prompt.
- Fixed CWD exposure and symlink attack risks in `gecko.py` by using a
  secure temporary directory for the HTTP server.
- Fixed a severe performance issue in `event_analyzing_sample.py` by
  removing SQLite autocommit mode and batching commits.
- Fixed `AttributeError` crashes in `rw-by-file.py` and `rw-by-pid.py` by
  correctly extracting event names.
- Fixed man page formatting issues in `perf-script-python.txt` by using
  indented code blocks.
- Updated `perf.pyi` stubs file to reflect all API changes.
- Verified all commit messages with `checkpatch.pl` and ensured lines are
  wrapped appropriately.
- Fixed segmentation faults in `perf sched stats` in diff mode.

v5 Changes
----------

Resending due to partial send of v4 due to a quota limit.

v4 Changes
----------

1. Git Fixup Cleanups
- Squashed the lingering `fixup!` commit remaining from the previous session back
  into `perf check-perf-trace: Port check-perf-trace to use python module`.

v3 Changes
----------

1. Memory Safety & Reference Counting Fixes
- Stored transient mmap event data inside the Python object's permanent
  `pevent->event` and invoked `evsel__parse_sample()` to safely point
  attributes into it, resolving Use-After-Free vulnerabilities.
- Nullified `sample->evsel` after calling `evsel__put()` in
  `perf_sample__exit()` to protect against potential refcount double-put
  crashes in error paths.
- Reordered operations inside `evlist__remove()` to invoke
  `perf_evlist__remove()` before reference release.
- Patched an `evsel` reference leak inside `evlist__deliver_deferred_callchain()`.

2. Sashiko AI Review Cleanups
- Corrected the broken event name equality check in `gecko.py` to search
  for a substring match within the parsed event string.
- Fixed a latent `AttributeError` crash in `task-analyzer.py` by properly
  assigning the session instance.
- Safeguarded thread reporting in `check-perf-trace.py` by utilizing
  `sample_tid` instead of `sample_pid`, and wrapping the session thread
  resolution in a try-except block.

3. Omitted Minor Issues
- The minor review comments (such as permanent iterator exhaustion on
  `brstack`, or dead-code in `failed-syscalls-by-pid.py`) have been omitted
  because they do not affect correctness, lead to crashes, or require
  significant architectural rework.

v2 Changes
----------

1. String Match and Event Name Accuracy
- Replaced loose substring event matching across the script suite with exact
  matches or specific prefix constraints (syscalls:sys_exit_,
  evsel(skb:kfree_skb), etc.).
- Added getattr() safety checks to prevent script failures caused by
  unresolved attributes from older kernel traces.

2. OOM and Memory Protections
- Refactored netdev-times.py to compute and process network statistics
  chronologically on-the-fly, eliminating an unbounded in-memory list
  that caused Out-Of-Memory crashes on large files.
- Implemented threshold limits on intel-pt-events.py to cap memory allocation
  during event interleaving.
- Optimized export-to-sqlite.py to periodically commit database transactions
  (every 10,000 samples) to reduce temporary SQLite journal sizes.

3. Portability & Environment Independence
- Re-keyed internal tracking dictionaries in scripts like powerpc-hcalls.py to
  use thread PIDs instead of CPUs, ensuring correctness when threads migrate.
- Switched net_dropmonitor.py from host-specific /proc/kallsyms parsing to
  perf's built-in symbol resolution API. 
- Added the --iomem parameter to mem-phys-addr.py to support offline analysis
  of data collected on different architectures.

4. Standalone Scripting Improvements
- Patched builtin-script.c to ensure --input parameters are successfully passed
  down to standalone execution pipelines via execvp().
- Guarded against string buffer overflows during .py extension path resolving.

5. Code Cleanups
- Removed stale perl subdirectories from being detected by the TUI script
  browser.
- Ran the entire script suite through mypy and pylint to achieve strict static
  type checking and resolve unreferenced variables.

* [PATCH v7 04/59] perf tests: Sort includes and add missed explicit dependencies
From: Ian Rogers @ 2026-04-25 22:40 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: acme, adrian.hunter, james.clark, leo.yan, namhyung, tmricht
  Cc: alice.mei.rogers, dapeng1.mi, linux-arm-kernel, linux-kernel,
	linux-perf-users, mingo, peterz, Ian Rogers
In-Reply-To: <20260425224125.160890-1-irogers@google.com>

Fix missing #includes found while cleaning the evsel/evlist header
files. Sort the remaining header files for consistency with the rest
of the code.

In-Reply-To: <20260425224125.160890-1-irogers@google.com>

Fix missing #include of pmu.h found while cleaning the evsel/evlist
header files. Sort the remaining header files for consistency with the
rest of the code. Doing this exposed a missing forward declaration of
addr_location in print_insn.h, add this and sort the forward
declarations.

* [PATCH v7 09/59] perf data: Add open flag
From: Ian Rogers @ 2026-04-25 22:40 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: acme, adrian.hunter, james.clark, leo.yan, namhyung, tmricht
  Cc: alice.mei.rogers, dapeng1.mi, linux-arm-kernel, linux-kernel,
	linux-perf-users, mingo, peterz, Ian Rogers
In-Reply-To: <20260425224125.160890-1-irogers@google.com>

Avoid double opens and ensure only open files are closed. This
addresses some issues with python integration where the data file
wants to be opened before being given to a session.

Assisted-by: Gemini:gemini-3.1-pro-preview
Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>
---
Changes in v2:

1. Fixed File Rotation: In perf_data__switch() , I added data->open =
   false; after the file is closed. This ensures that the subsequent
   perf_data__open() call will not exit early and will successfully
   open the new file.

2. Fixed Memory Leak: In open_dir() , I added a call to
   zfree(&data->file.path) if mkdir() fails, preventing the leak of
   the path string.

* [PATCH v7 11/59] perf evsel: Add reference count
From: Ian Rogers @ 2026-04-25 22:40 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: acme, adrian.hunter, james.clark, leo.yan, namhyung, tmricht
  Cc: alice.mei.rogers, dapeng1.mi, linux-arm-kernel, linux-kernel,
	linux-perf-users, mingo, peterz, Ian Rogers
In-Reply-To: <20260425224125.160890-1-irogers@google.com>

As with evlist this a no-op for most of the perf tool. The reference
count is set to 1 at allocation, the put will see the 1, decrement it
and perform the delete. The purpose for adding the reference count is
for the python code. Prior to this change the python code would clone
evsels, but this has issues if events are opened, etc. leading to
assertion failures. With a reference count the same evsel can be used
and the reference count incremented for the python usage.  To not
change the python evsel API getset functions are added for the evsel
members, no set function is provided for size as it doesn't make sense
to alter this.

v2:
1. Fixed Potential Crash in pyrf_event__new : Initialized
   pevent->evsel = NULL; to avoid garbage pointer dereference if
   evlist__event2evsel() fails in read_on_cpu .

2. Fixed Memory Leak in pyrf_evsel__init : Added
   evsel__put(pevsel->evsel) before overwriting it to handle repeated
   __init__ calls.

3. Fixed Exception Contract: Added PyErr_NoMemory() when evsel__new()
   fails in pyrf_evsel__init .

4. Fixed NULL Pointer Dereference on Property Access: Added a custom
   tp_getattro ( pyrf_evsel__getattro ) to pyrf_evsel__type to check
   if pevsel->evsel is NULL and raise a ValueError if so, covering all
   property accesses.

5. Fixed Reference Count in pyrf_evlist__add : Added evsel__get(evsel)
   when adding to the evlist .

6. Fixed Reference Count in pyrf_evlist__read_on_cpu : Added
   evsel__get(evsel) when assigning to pevent->evsel .

v7:
- Added pyrf_evsel__new to zero-initialize pevsel->evsel to fix
  crash on re-initialization.

* [PATCH v7 14/59] perf python: Add wrapper for perf_data file abstraction
From: Ian Rogers @ 2026-04-25 22:40 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: acme, adrian.hunter, james.clark, leo.yan, namhyung, tmricht
  Cc: alice.mei.rogers, dapeng1.mi, linux-arm-kernel, linux-kernel,
	linux-perf-users, mingo, peterz, Ian Rogers
In-Reply-To: <20260425224125.160890-1-irogers@google.com>

The perf_data struct is needed for session supported.

Assisted-by: Gemini:gemini-3.1-pro-preview
Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>
---
v2:
1. Fixed Memory & FD Leaks in pyrf_data__init : Added cleanup of old
   state (closing file and freeing path) if __init__ is called
   multiple times on the same object.

2. Fixed Invalid Free in pyrf_data__delete : Ensured pdata->data.path
   is always dynamically allocated via strdup() , even for the default
   "perf.data" . This avoids passing a static string literal to free().

3. Fixed NULL Pointer Dereference in pyrf_data__str : Added a check
   for NULL path to prevent segfaults if str() or repr() is called on
   an uninitialized object.

4. Guarded fd Argument Usage: Added a check to ensure that if an fd is
   provided, it corresponds to a pipe, failing gracefully with a
   ValueError otherwise.

v7:
- Added pyrf_data__new to zero-initialize pdata->data to fix
  crash on re-initialization.

* [PATCH v7 16/59] perf python: Add syscall name/id to convert syscall number and name
From: Ian Rogers @ 2026-04-25 22:40 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: acme, adrian.hunter, james.clark, leo.yan, namhyung, tmricht
  Cc: alice.mei.rogers, dapeng1.mi, linux-arm-kernel, linux-kernel,
	linux-perf-users, mingo, peterz, Ian Rogers
In-Reply-To: <20260425224125.160890-1-irogers@google.com>

Use perf's syscalltbl support to convert syscall number to name
assuming the number is for the host machine. This avoids python
libaudit support as tools/perf/scripts/python/syscall-counts.py
requires.

Assisted-by: Gemini:gemini-3.1-pro-preview
Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>
---
v2:

1. Guarded with HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT : Wrapped the syscall functions and
   their entries in perf__methods with #ifdef HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT to
   avoid potential linker errors if CONFIG_TRACE is disabled.

2. Changed Exception Type: Updated pyrf__syscall_id to raise a
   ValueError instead of a TypeError when a syscall is not found.

3. Fixed Typo: Corrected "name number" to "name" in the docstring for
   syscall_id.

v6:
- Added optional keyword-only `elf_machine` argument to `syscall_name`
  and `syscall_id`.

v7:
- Made syscalltbl.o unconditional in Build to fix undefined symbol
  when building without libtraceevent.

* [PATCH v7 15/59] perf python: Add python session abstraction wrapping perf's session
From: Ian Rogers @ 2026-04-25 22:40 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: acme, adrian.hunter, james.clark, leo.yan, namhyung, tmricht
  Cc: alice.mei.rogers, dapeng1.mi, linux-arm-kernel, linux-kernel,
	linux-perf-users, mingo, peterz, Ian Rogers
In-Reply-To: <20260425224125.160890-1-irogers@google.com>

Sessions are necessary to be able to use perf.data files within a
tool. Add a wrapper python type that incorporates the tool. Allow a
sample callback to be passed when creating the session. When
process_events is run this callback will be called, if supplied, for
sample events.

An example use looks like:
```
$ perf record -e cycles,instructions -a sleep 3
$ PYTHONPATH=..../perf/python python3
Python 3.13.7 (main, Aug 20 2025, 22:17:40) [GCC 14.2.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import perf
>>> count=0
... def handle_sample(x):
...   global count
...   if count < 3:
...     print(dir(x))
...   count = count + 1
... perf.session(perf.data("perf.data"),sample=handle_sample).process_events()
...
['__class__', '__delattr__', '__dir__', '__doc__', '__eq__', '__format__', '__ge__', '__getattribute__', '__getstate__', '__gt__', '__hash__', '__init__', '__init_subclass__', '__le__', '__lt__', '__ne__', '__new__', '__reduce__', '__reduce_ex__', '__repr__', '__setattr__', '__sizeof__', '__str__', '__subclasshook__', 'sample_addr', 'sample_cpu', 'sample_id', 'sample_ip', 'sample_period', 'sample_pid', 'sample_stream_id', 'sample_tid', 'sample_time', 'type']

```

Also, add the ability to get the thread associated with a session. For
threads, allow the comm string to be retrieved. This can be useful for
filtering threads. Connect up some of the standard event handling in
psession->tool to better support queries of the machine. Also connect
up the symbols.

---
v2:

1. Fixed Potential Crash in pyrf_thread__comm : Used
   thread__comm_str() to safely retrieve the command name, avoiding a
   crash if thread__comm() returns NULL.

2. Fixed Double Free Risk: Zeroed out user_regs , intr_regs , and
   callchain in the shallow copy of perf_sample to prevent Python from
   attempting to free pointers it doesn't own.

3. Fixed Memory Leak & Exception Handling in Callback: Handled the
   return value of PyObject_CallFunction() to avoid leaks, and checked
   for failure to abort the loop and propagate Python exceptions
   cleanly.

4. Enforced Type Safety: Used O!  with &pyrf_data__type in
   PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords to prevent bad casts from passing
   arbitrary objects as perf.data.

5. Added Missing Build ID Handler: Registered
   perf_event__process_build_id to allow correct symbol resolution.

6. Fixed Double Free Crash on Init Failure: Set session and pdata to
   NULL on failure to prevent tp_dealloc from double-freeing them.

7. Preserved C-level Errors: Made pyrf_session__process_events return
   the error code integer rather than always returning None .

---
v7:
- Fixed NULL comm handling.
- Avoided swallowing exceptions in module init.
- Fixed checkpatch warning for missing blank line.

* [PATCH v7 10/59] perf evlist: Add reference count
From: Ian Rogers @ 2026-04-25 22:40 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: acme, adrian.hunter, james.clark, leo.yan, namhyung, tmricht
  Cc: alice.mei.rogers, dapeng1.mi, linux-arm-kernel, linux-kernel,
	linux-perf-users, mingo, peterz, Ian Rogers
In-Reply-To: <20260425224125.160890-1-irogers@google.com>

This a no-op for most of the perf tool. The reference count is set to
1 at allocation, the put will see the 1, decrement it and perform the
delete. The purpose for adding the reference count is for the python
code. Prior to this change the python code would clone evlists, but
this has issues if events are opened, etc. This change adds a
reference count for the evlists and a later change will add it to
evsels. The combination is needed for the python code to operate
correctly (not hit asserts in the evsel clone), but the changes are
broken apart for the sake of smaller patches.

v2: Added evlist__put to pyrf_evlist__init in case init is called more
    than once.

    I double-checked trace__replay() and confirmed that trace->evlist
    is not assigned to session->evlist in that function.
    trace__replay creates a new session and uses its own evlist for
    processing file events, leaving trace->evlist pointing to the
    empty list created at startup. Therefore, the
    evlist__put(trace->evlist) call in trace__exit() is safe and
    correct to avoid leaking that empty list.

v7:
- Added pyrf_evlist__new to zero-initialize pevlist->evlist to fix
  crash on re-initialization.
