* [PATCH v7 56/59] perf script: Refactor to support standalone scripts and remove legacy features
From: Ian Rogers @ 2026-04-25 22:45 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: acme, adrian.hunter, james.clark, leo.yan, namhyung, tmricht

In-Reply-To: <20260425224503.170337-1-irogers@google.com>
- Remove -g / --gen-script option as it is no longer needed.
- Hide -s / --script option to imply running standalone scripts
directly.
- Update find_script to search in 'python' instead of
'scripts/python'.
- Add support for launching standalone scripts using fork and execvp,
skipping the event processing loop.
- Update list_available_scripts to look for .py files directly in
'python' directory.
- Remove all references to scripting_ops and clean up unused functions
and variables.

v2:
- Fixed strncat buffer overflow: Updated the strncat call in
find_script() to correctly use the remaining capacity of the
destination buffer instead of sizeof(path) - 1 . The declaration of
len was moved to the top of the function to conform to C style
guidelines.
- Fixed execvp path searching: If find_script() finds a local file in
the current directory without a slash, it now prepends ./ to it.
This ensures that execvp() executed by the child process knows to
look in the current directory rather than searching the system
$PATH .
- Fixed premature loop termination in docstring parsing: Removed a
check in read_script_info() that caused the loop to terminate early
if any fallback description was found (like an SPDX
identifier). This restores the intended behavior of searching the
entire header for a better "description:" tag.
- Updated subcommands and usage: Removed "record" and "report" from
the usage text and stopped passing them as valid subcommands to
parse_options_subcommand() .
- Fixed lost command-line options: Reconstructed the arguments passed
to the standalone script to include -i and the input file path,
ensuring that the user's choice of input file is not lost.
- Added error message on execvp failure: Added a pr_err call in the
child process to print a descriptive error message if execvp()
fails to launch the script.
- Fixed uninitialized status in waitpid : Initialized status to 0 and
verified that waitpid() successfully returned the child's PID
before evaluating its exit status. Also removed unnecessary braces
and fixed indentation in that block.

-NAME
-----
-perf-script-perl - Process trace data with a Perl script
-
-SYNOPSIS
---------
-[verse]
-'perf script' [-s [Perl]:script[.pl] ]
-
-DESCRIPTION
------------
-
-This perf script option is used to process perf script data using perf's
-built-in Perl interpreter. It reads and processes the input file and
-displays the results of the trace analysis implemented in the given
-Perl script, if any.
-
-STARTER SCRIPTS
----------------
-
-You can avoid reading the rest of this document by running 'perf script
--g perl' in the same directory as an existing perf.data trace file.
-That will generate a starter script containing a handler for each of
-the event types in the trace file; it simply prints every available
-field for each event in the trace file.
-
-You can also look at the existing scripts in
-~/libexec/perf-core/scripts/perl for typical examples showing how to
-do basic things like aggregate event data, print results, etc. Also,
-the check-perf-script.pl script, while not interesting for its results,
-attempts to exercise all of the main scripting features.
-
-EVENT HANDLERS
---------------
-
-When perf script is invoked using a trace script, a user-defined
-'handler function' is called for each event in the trace. If there's
-no handler function defined for a given event type, the event is
-ignored (or passed to a 'trace_unhandled' function, see below) and the
-next event is processed.
-
-Most of the event's field values are passed as arguments to the
-handler function; some of the less common ones aren't - those are
-available as calls back into the perf executable (see below).
-
-As an example, the following perf record command can be used to record
-all sched_wakeup events in the system:
-
- # perf record -a -e sched:sched_wakeup
-
-Traces meant to be processed using a script should be recorded with
-the above option: -a to enable system-wide collection.
-
-The format file for the sched_wakeup event defines the following fields
-(see /sys/kernel/tracing/events/sched/sched_wakeup/format):
-
-----
- format:
- field:unsigned short common_type;
- field:unsigned char common_flags;
- field:unsigned char common_preempt_count;
- field:int common_pid;
-
- field:char comm[TASK_COMM_LEN];
- field:pid_t pid;
- field:int prio;
- field:int success;
- field:int target_cpu;
-----
-
-The handler function for this event would be defined as:
-
-----
-sub sched::sched_wakeup
-{
- my ($event_name, $context, $common_cpu, $common_secs,
- $common_nsecs, $common_pid, $common_comm,
- $comm, $pid, $prio, $success, $target_cpu) = @_;
-}
-----
-
-The handler function takes the form subsystem::event_name.
-
-The $common_* arguments in the handler's argument list are the set of
-arguments passed to all event handlers; some of the fields correspond
-to the common_* fields in the format file, but some are synthesized,
-and some of the common_* fields aren't common enough to to be passed
-to every event as arguments but are available as library functions.
-
-Here's a brief description of each of the invariant event args:
-
- $event_name the name of the event as text
- $context an opaque 'cookie' used in calls back into perf
- $common_cpu the cpu the event occurred on
- $common_secs the secs portion of the event timestamp
- $common_nsecs the nsecs portion of the event timestamp
- $common_pid the pid of the current task
- $common_comm the name of the current process
-
-All of the remaining fields in the event's format file have
-counterparts as handler function arguments of the same name, as can be
-seen in the example above.
-
-The above provides the basics needed to directly access every field of
-every event in a trace, which covers 90% of what you need to know to
-write a useful trace script. The sections below cover the rest.
-
-SCRIPT LAYOUT
--------------
-
-Every perf script Perl script should start by setting up a Perl module
-search path and 'use'ing a few support modules (see module
-descriptions below):
-
-----
- use lib "$ENV{'PERF_EXEC_PATH'}/scripts/perl/Perf-Trace-Util/lib";
- use lib "./Perf-Trace-Util/lib";
- use Perf::Trace::Core;
- use Perf::Trace::Context;
- use Perf::Trace::Util;
-----
-
-The rest of the script can contain handler functions and support
-functions in any order.
-
-Aside from the event handler functions discussed above, every script
-can implement a set of optional functions:
-
-*trace_begin*, if defined, is called before any event is processed and
-gives scripts a chance to do setup tasks:
-
-----
- sub trace_begin
- {
- }
-----
-
-*trace_end*, if defined, is called after all events have been
- processed and gives scripts a chance to do end-of-script tasks, such
- as display results:
-
-----
-sub trace_end
-{
-}
-----
-
-*trace_unhandled*, if defined, is called after for any event that
- doesn't have a handler explicitly defined for it. The standard set
- of common arguments are passed into it:
-
-----
-sub trace_unhandled
-{
- my ($event_name, $context, $common_cpu, $common_secs,
- $common_nsecs, $common_pid, $common_comm) = @_;
-}
-----
-
-The remaining sections provide descriptions of each of the available
-built-in perf script Perl modules and their associated functions.
-
-AVAILABLE MODULES AND FUNCTIONS
--------------------------------
-
-The following sections describe the functions and variables available
-via the various Perf::Trace::* Perl modules. To use the functions and
-variables from the given module, add the corresponding 'use
-Perf::Trace::XXX' line to your perf script script.
-
-Perf::Trace::Core Module
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-These functions provide some essential functions to user scripts.
-
-The *flag_str* and *symbol_str* functions provide human-readable
-strings for flag and symbolic fields. These correspond to the strings
-and values parsed from the 'print fmt' fields of the event format
-files:
-
- flag_str($event_name, $field_name, $field_value) - returns the string representation corresponding to $field_value for the flag field $field_name of event $event_name
- symbol_str($event_name, $field_name, $field_value) - returns the string representation corresponding to $field_value for the symbolic field $field_name of event $event_name
-
-Perf::Trace::Context Module
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Some of the 'common' fields in the event format file aren't all that
-common, but need to be made accessible to user scripts nonetheless.
-
-Perf::Trace::Context defines a set of functions that can be used to
-access this data in the context of the current event. Each of these
-functions expects a $context variable, which is the same as the
-$context variable passed into every event handler as the second
-argument.
-
- common_pc($context) - returns common_preempt count for the current event
- common_flags($context) - returns common_flags for the current event
- common_lock_depth($context) - returns common_lock_depth for the current event
-
-Perf::Trace::Util Module
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Various utility functions for use with perf script:
-
- nsecs($secs, $nsecs) - returns total nsecs given secs/nsecs pair
- nsecs_secs($nsecs) - returns whole secs portion given nsecs
- nsecs_nsecs($nsecs) - returns nsecs remainder given nsecs
- nsecs_str($nsecs) - returns printable string in the form secs.nsecs
- avg($total, $n) - returns average given a sum and a total number of values

NAME
----
-perf-script-python - Process trace data with a Python script
+perf-script-python - Process trace data with a Python script using perf module
SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
-'perf script' [-s [Python]:script[.py] ]
+'perf script' <script>.py
DESCRIPTION
-----------
-This perf script option is used to process perf script data using perf's
-built-in Python interpreter. It reads and processes the input file and
-displays the results of the trace analysis implemented in the given
-Python script, if any.
+This document describes how to use the `perf` Python module to process
+trace data recorded by `perf record`.
+
+With the removal of embedded Python interpreter from `perf`, scripts
+are now run as standalone Python programs that import the `perf`
+module to access trace data.
A QUICK EXAMPLE
---------------
-This section shows the process, start to finish, of creating a working
-Python script that aggregates and extracts useful information from a
-raw perf script stream. You can avoid reading the rest of this
-document if an example is enough for you; the rest of the document
-provides more details on each step and lists the library functions
-available to script writers.
-
-This example actually details the steps that were used to create the
-'syscall-counts' script you see when you list the available perf script
-scripts via 'perf script -l'. As such, this script also shows how to
-integrate your script into the list of general-purpose 'perf script'
-scripts listed by that command.
-
-The syscall-counts script is a simple script, but demonstrates all the
-basic ideas necessary to create a useful script. Here's an example
-of its output (syscall names are not yet supported, they will appear
-as numbers):
-

-----
-
-Basically our task is to keep a per-syscall tally that gets updated
-every time a system call occurs in the system. Our script will do
-that, but first we need to record the data that will be processed by
-that script. Theoretically, there are a couple of ways we could do
-that:
-
-- we could enable every event under the tracing/events/syscalls
- directory, but this is over 600 syscalls, well beyond the number
- allowable by perf. These individual syscall events will however be
- useful if we want to later use the guidance we get from the
- general-purpose scripts to drill down and get more detail about
- individual syscalls of interest.
-
-- we can enable the sys_enter and/or sys_exit syscalls found under
- tracing/events/raw_syscalls. These are called for all syscalls; the
- 'id' field can be used to distinguish between individual syscall
- numbers.
-
-For this script, we only need to know that a syscall was entered; we
-don't care how it exited, so we'll use 'perf record' to record only
-the sys_enter events:
-
-----
-# perf record -a -e raw_syscalls:sys_enter
-
-^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
-[ perf record: Captured and wrote 56.545 MB perf.data (~2470503 samples) ]
-----
-
-The options basically say to collect data for every syscall event
-system-wide and multiplex the per-cpu output into a single stream.
-That single stream will be recorded in a file in the current directory
-called perf.data.
-
-Once we have a perf.data file containing our data, we can use the -g
-'perf script' option to generate a Python script that will contain a
-callback handler for each event type found in the perf.data trace
-stream (for more details, see the STARTER SCRIPTS section).
-
-----
-# perf script -g python
-generated Python script: perf-script.py
-
-The output file created also in the current directory is named
-perf-script.py. Here's the file in its entirety:
-
-# perf script event handlers, generated by perf script -g python
-# Licensed under the terms of the GNU GPL License version 2
-
-# The common_* event handler fields are the most useful fields common to
-# all events. They don't necessarily correspond to the 'common_*' fields
-# in the format files. Those fields not available as handler params can
-# be retrieved using Python functions of the form common_*(context).
-# See the perf-script-python Documentation for the list of available functions.

-----
-
-At the top is a comment block followed by some import statements and a
-path append which every perf script script should include.
-
-Following that are a couple generated functions, trace_begin() and
-trace_end(), which are called at the beginning and the end of the
-script respectively (for more details, see the SCRIPT_LAYOUT section
-below).
-
-Following those are the 'event handler' functions generated one for
-every event in the 'perf record' output. The handler functions take
-the form subsystem\__event_name, and contain named parameters, one for
-each field in the event; in this case, there's only one event,
-raw_syscalls__sys_enter(). (see the EVENT HANDLERS section below for
-more info on event handlers).
-
-The final couple of functions are, like the begin and end functions,
-generated for every script. The first, trace_unhandled(), is called
-every time the script finds an event in the perf.data file that
-doesn't correspond to any event handler in the script. This could
-mean either that the record step recorded event types that it wasn't
-really interested in, or the script was run against a trace file that
-doesn't correspond to the script.
-
-The script generated by -g option simply prints a line for each
-event found in the trace stream i.e. it basically just dumps the event
-and its parameter values to stdout. The print_header() function is
-simply a utility function used for that purpose. Let's rename the
-script and run it to see the default output:
-
-----

-Of course, for this script, we're not interested in printing every
-trace event, but rather aggregating it in a useful way. So we'll get
-rid of everything to do with printing as well as the trace_begin() and
-trace_unhandled() functions, which we won't be using. That leaves us
-with this minimalistic skeleton:
-
-----
-import os
-import sys
-
-sys.path.append(os.environ['PERF_EXEC_PATH'] + \
- '/scripts/python/Perf-Trace-Util/lib/Perf/Trace')
-
-from perf_trace_context import *
-from Core import *
-
-def trace_end():
- print "in trace_end"
-
-def raw_syscalls__sys_enter(event_name, context, common_cpu,
- common_secs, common_nsecs, common_pid, common_comm,
- id, args):
-----
-
-In trace_end(), we'll simply print the results, but first we need to
-generate some results to print. To do that we need to have our
-sys_enter() handler do the necessary tallying until all events have
-been counted. A hash table indexed by syscall id is a good way to
-store that information; every time the sys_enter() handler is called,
-we simply increment a count associated with that hash entry indexed by
-that syscall id:
-
-----
- syscalls = autodict()
-
- try:
- syscalls[id] += 1
- except TypeError:
- syscalls[id] = 1
-----
-
-The syscalls 'autodict' object is a special kind of Python dictionary
-(implemented in Core.py) that implements Perl's 'autovivifying' hashes
-in Python i.e. with autovivifying hashes, you can assign nested hash
-values without having to go to the trouble of creating intermediate
-levels if they don't exist e.g syscalls[comm][pid][id] = 1 will create
-the intermediate hash levels and finally assign the value 1 to the
-hash entry for 'id' (because the value being assigned isn't a hash
-object itself, the initial value is assigned in the TypeError
-exception. Well, there may be a better way to do this in Python but
-that's what works for now).
-
-Putting that code into the raw_syscalls__sys_enter() handler, we
-effectively end up with a single-level dictionary keyed on syscall id
-and having the counts we've tallied as values.
-
-The print_syscall_totals() function iterates over the entries in the
-dictionary and displays a line for each entry containing the syscall
-name (the dictionary keys contain the syscall ids, which are passed to
-the Util function syscall_name(), which translates the raw syscall
-numbers to the corresponding syscall name strings). The output is
-displayed after all the events in the trace have been processed, by
-calling the print_syscall_totals() function from the trace_end()
-handler called at the end of script processing.
-
-The final script producing the output shown above is shown in its
-entirety below (syscall_name() helper is not yet available, you can
-only deal with id's for now):

-----
-
-The script can be run just as before:
-
- # perf script -s syscall-counts.py
-
-So those are the essential steps in writing and running a script. The
-process can be generalized to any tracepoint or set of tracepoints
-you're interested in - basically find the tracepoint(s) you're
-interested in by looking at the list of available events shown by
-'perf list' and/or look in /sys/kernel/tracing/events/ for
-detailed event and field info, record the corresponding trace data
-using 'perf record', passing it the list of interesting events,
-generate a skeleton script using 'perf script -g python' and modify the
-code to aggregate and display it for your particular needs.
-
-After you've done that you may end up with a general-purpose script
-that you want to keep around and have available for future use. By
-writing a couple of very simple shell scripts and putting them in the
-right place, you can have your script listed alongside the other
-scripts listed by the 'perf script -l' command e.g.:
-
-----
-# perf script -l
-List of available trace scripts:
- wakeup-latency system-wide min/max/avg wakeup latency
- rw-by-file <comm> r/w activity for a program, by file
- rw-by-pid system-wide r/w activity
-----
-
-A nice side effect of doing this is that you also then capture the
-probably lengthy 'perf record' command needed to record the events for
-the script.
-
-To have the script appear as a 'built-in' script, you write two simple
-scripts, one for recording and one for 'reporting'.
-
-The 'record' script is a shell script with the same base name as your
-script, but with -record appended. The shell script should be put
-into the perf/scripts/python/bin directory in the kernel source tree.
-In that script, you write the 'perf record' command-line needed for
-your script:
-
-----
-# cat kernel-source/tools/perf/scripts/python/bin/syscall-counts-record
-
-#!/bin/bash
-perf record -a -e raw_syscalls:sys_enter
-----
-
-The 'report' script is also a shell script with the same base name as
-your script, but with -report appended. It should also be located in
-the perf/scripts/python/bin directory. In that script, you write the
-'perf script -s' command-line needed for running your script:
+This section shows how to create a simple Python script that reads a
+`perf.data` file and prints event information.
-----
-# cat kernel-source/tools/perf/scripts/python/bin/syscall-counts-report
+Create a file named `print_events.py` with the following content:
-#!/bin/bash
-# description: system-wide syscall counts
-perf script -s ~/libexec/perf-core/scripts/python/syscall-counts.py
-----
+ #!/usr/bin/env python3
+ import perf
-Note that the location of the Python script given in the shell script
-is in the libexec/perf-core/scripts/python directory - this is where
-the script will be copied by 'make install' when you install perf.
-For the installation to install your script there, your script needs
-to be located in the perf/scripts/python directory in the kernel
-source tree:
+ def process_event(sample):
+ print(f"Event: {sample.evsel} on CPU {sample.sample_cpu} at {sample.sample_time}")
-----

+ # Open the session with perf.data file
+ session = perf.session(perf.data("perf.data"), sample=process_event)
-Once you've done that (don't forget to do a new 'make install',
-otherwise your script won't show up at run-time), 'perf script -l'
-should show a new entry for your script:
+ # Process all events
+ session.process_events()
-----
-# perf script -l
-List of available trace scripts:
- wakeup-latency system-wide min/max/avg wakeup latency
- rw-by-file <comm> r/w activity for a program, by file
- rw-by-pid system-wide r/w activity
- syscall-counts system-wide syscall counts
-----
+Make the script executable:
+ $ chmod +x print_events.py
-You can now perform the record step via 'perf script record':
+Record some data:
+ $ perf record -a sleep 1
- # perf script record syscall-counts
+Run the script:
+ $ perf script print_events.py
-and display the output using 'perf script report':
+Or run it directly with Python, ensuring `perf.so` is in your `PYTHONPATH`:
+ $ PYTHONPATH=/path/to/perf/python python3 print_events.py
- # perf script report syscall-counts
-
-STARTER SCRIPTS
+THE PERF MODULE
---------------
-You can quickly get started writing a script for a particular set of
-trace data by generating a skeleton script using 'perf script -g
-python' in the same directory as an existing perf.data trace file.
-That will generate a starter script containing a handler for each of
-the event types in the trace file; it simply prints every available
-field for each event in the trace file.
-
-You can also look at the existing scripts in
-~/libexec/perf-core/scripts/python for typical examples showing how to
-do basic things like aggregate event data, print results, etc. Also,
-the check-perf-script.py script, while not interesting for its results,
-attempts to exercise all of the main scripting features.
-
-EVENT HANDLERS
---------------
-
-When perf script is invoked using a trace script, a user-defined
-'handler function' is called for each event in the trace. If there's
-no handler function defined for a given event type, the event is
-ignored (or passed to a 'trace_unhandled' function, see below) and the
-next event is processed.
-
-Most of the event's field values are passed as arguments to the
-handler function; some of the less common ones aren't - those are
-available as calls back into the perf executable (see below).
-
-As an example, the following perf record command can be used to record
-all sched_wakeup events in the system:
-
- # perf record -a -e sched:sched_wakeup
-
-Traces meant to be processed using a script should be recorded with
-the above option: -a to enable system-wide collection.
-
-The format file for the sched_wakeup event defines the following fields
-(see /sys/kernel/tracing/events/sched/sched_wakeup/format):
-
-----
- format:
- field:unsigned short common_type;
- field:unsigned char common_flags;
- field:unsigned char common_preempt_count;
- field:int common_pid;
-
- field:char comm[TASK_COMM_LEN];
- field:pid_t pid;
- field:int prio;
- field:int success;
- field:int target_cpu;
-----
-
-The handler function for this event would be defined as:
-
-----
-def sched__sched_wakeup(event_name, context, common_cpu, common_secs,
- common_nsecs, common_pid, common_comm,
- comm, pid, prio, success, target_cpu):
- pass
-----
-
-The handler function takes the form subsystem__event_name.
-
-The common_* arguments in the handler's argument list are the set of
-arguments passed to all event handlers; some of the fields correspond
-to the common_* fields in the format file, but some are synthesized,
-and some of the common_* fields aren't common enough to to be passed
-to every event as arguments but are available as library functions.
-
-Here's a brief description of each of the invariant event args:
-
- event_name the name of the event as text
- context an opaque 'cookie' used in calls back into perf
- common_cpu the cpu the event occurred on
- common_secs the secs portion of the event timestamp
- common_nsecs the nsecs portion of the event timestamp
- common_pid the pid of the current task
- common_comm the name of the current process
-
-All of the remaining fields in the event's format file have
-counterparts as handler function arguments of the same name, as can be
-seen in the example above.
-
-The above provides the basics needed to directly access every field of
-every event in a trace, which covers 90% of what you need to know to
-write a useful trace script. The sections below cover the rest.
-
-SCRIPT LAYOUT
--------------
-
-Every perf script Python script should start by setting up a Python
-module search path and 'import'ing a few support modules (see module
-descriptions below):
-
-----
- import os
- import sys
-
- sys.path.append(os.environ['PERF_EXEC_PATH'] + \
- '/scripts/python/Perf-Trace-Util/lib/Perf/Trace')
-
- from perf_trace_context import *
- from Core import *
-----
-
-The rest of the script can contain handler functions and support
-functions in any order.
-
-Aside from the event handler functions discussed above, every script
-can implement a set of optional functions:
-
-*trace_begin*, if defined, is called before any event is processed and
-gives scripts a chance to do setup tasks:
-
-----
-def trace_begin():
- pass
-----
-
-*trace_end*, if defined, is called after all events have been
- processed and gives scripts a chance to do end-of-script tasks, such
- as display results:
-
-----
-def trace_end():
- pass
-----
-
-*trace_unhandled*, if defined, is called after for any event that
- doesn't have a handler explicitly defined for it. The standard set
- of common arguments are passed into it:
-
-----
-def trace_unhandled(event_name, context, event_fields_dict):
- pass
-----
-
-*process_event*, if defined, is called for any non-tracepoint event
-
-----
-def process_event(param_dict):
- pass
-----
-
-*context_switch*, if defined, is called for any context switch
-
-----
-def context_switch(ts, cpu, pid, tid, np_pid, np_tid, machine_pid, out, out_preempt, *x):
- pass
-----
-
-*auxtrace_error*, if defined, is called for any AUX area tracing error
-
-----
-def auxtrace_error(typ, code, cpu, pid, tid, ip, ts, msg, cpumode, *x):
- pass
-----
-
-The remaining sections provide descriptions of each of the available
-built-in perf script Python modules and their associated functions.
-
-AVAILABLE MODULES AND FUNCTIONS
--------------------------------
-
-The following sections describe the functions and variables available
-via the various perf script Python modules. To use the functions and
-variables from the given module, add the corresponding 'from XXXX
-import' line to your perf script script.
-
-Core.py Module
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+The `perf` module provides several classes and functions to interact
+with trace data.
-These functions provide some essential functions to user scripts.
+### Module Functions
-The *flag_str* and *symbol_str* functions provide human-readable
-strings for flag and symbolic fields. These correspond to the strings
-and values parsed from the 'print fmt' fields of the event format
-files:
+- `config_get(name)`: Get a perf config value.
+- `metrics()`: Returns a list of metrics represented as string values in dictionaries.
+- `tracepoint(subsystem, name)`: Get tracepoint config.
+- `parse_events(string)`: Parse a string of events and return an `evlist`.
+- `parse_metrics(string, pmu=None)`: Parse a string of metrics or metric groups and return an `evlist`.
+- `pmus()`: Returns a sequence of PMUs.
+- `syscall_name(num, *, elf_machine=None)`: Turns a syscall number to a string.
+- `syscall_id(name, *, elf_machine=None)`: Turns a syscall name to a number.
- flag_str(event_name, field_name, field_value) - returns the string representation corresponding to field_value for the flag field field_name of event event_name
- symbol_str(event_name, field_name, field_value) - returns the string representation corresponding to field_value for the symbolic field field_name of event event_name
+### `perf.pmu`
-The *autodict* function returns a special kind of Python
-dictionary that implements Perl's 'autovivifying' hashes in Python
-i.e. with autovivifying hashes, you can assign nested hash values
-without having to go to the trouble of creating intermediate levels if
-they don't exist.
+Represents a Performance Monitoring Unit.
- autodict() - returns an autovivifying dictionary instance
+- `events()`: Returns a sequence of events encoded as dictionaries.
+- `name()`: Name of the PMU including suffixes.
+### `perf.evlist`
-perf_trace_context Module
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Represents a list of event selectors.
-Some of the 'common' fields in the event format file aren't all that
-common, but need to be made accessible to user scripts nonetheless.
+- `all_cpus()`: CPU map union of all evsel CPU maps.
+- `metrics()`: List of metric names within the evlist.
+- `compute_metric(name, cpu, thread)`: Compute metric for given name, cpu and thread.
+- `mmap()`: mmap the file descriptor table.
+- `open()`: open the file descriptors.
+- `close()`: close the file descriptors.
+- `poll()`: poll the file descriptor table.
+- `get_pollfd()`: get the poll file descriptor table.
+- `add(evsel)`: adds an event selector to the list.
+- `read_on_cpu(cpu)`: reads an event.
+- `config()`: Apply default record options to the evlist.
+- `disable()`: Disable the evsels in the evlist.
+- `enable()`: Enable the evsels in the evlist.
-perf_trace_context defines a set of functions that can be used to
-access this data in the context of the current event. Each of these
-functions expects a context variable, which is the same as the
-context variable passed into every tracepoint event handler as the second
-argument. For non-tracepoint events, the context variable is also present
-as perf_trace_context.perf_script_context .
+### `perf.evsel`
- common_pc(context) - returns common_preempt count for the current event
- common_flags(context) - returns common_flags for the current event
- common_lock_depth(context) - returns common_lock_depth for the current event
- perf_sample_insn(context) - returns the machine code instruction
- perf_set_itrace_options(context, itrace_options) - set --itrace options if they have not been set already
- perf_sample_srcline(context) - returns source_file_name, line_number
- perf_sample_srccode(context) - returns source_file_name, line_number, source_line
- perf_config_get(config_name) - returns the value of the named config item, or None if unset
+Represents an event selector.
-Util.py Module
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+- `open()`: open the event selector file descriptor table.
+- `cpus()`: CPUs the event is to be used with.
+- `threads()`: threads the event is to be used with.
+- `read(cpu, thread)`: read counters. Returns a count object with `val`, `ena`, and `run` attributes.
-Various utility functions for use with perf script:
+### `perf.session`
- nsecs(secs, nsecs) - returns total nsecs given secs/nsecs pair
- nsecs_secs(nsecs) - returns whole secs portion given nsecs
- nsecs_nsecs(nsecs) - returns nsecs remainder given nsecs
- nsecs_str(nsecs) - returns printable string in the form secs.nsecs
- avg(total, n) - returns average given a sum and a total number of values
+Manages a trace session.
-SUPPORTED FIELDS
-----------------
+- `__init__(data, sample=None)`: Creates a new session. `data` is a `perf.data` object. `sample` is a callback function called for each sample event.
+- `process_events()`: Reads the trace data and calls the sample callback for each event.
+- `find_thread(tid)`: Returns the thread associated with a TID.
-Currently supported fields:
+### `perf.data`
-ev_name, comm, id, stream_id, pid, tid, cpu, ip, time, period, phys_addr,

+- `sample_tid`: The TID of the thread.
+- `raw_buf`: Raw buffer containing event specific data.
-brstacksym:
- items: from, to, pred, in_tx, abort (converted string)
+COUNTER AND METRIC APIS
+-----------------------
-For example,
-We can use this code to print brstack "from", "to", "cycles".
+The following APIs are used in `tools/perf/python/ilist.py` for
+interactive listing and reading of counters and metrics:
-if 'brstack' in dict:
- for entry in dict['brstack']:
- print "from %s, to %s, cycles %s" % (entry["from"], entry["to"], entry["cycles"])

- record and run those scripts:
-
- 'perf script record <script> <command>' to record the events required

- and 'perf script report' commands, with the stdout of the record step
- piped to the stdin of the report script, using the '-o -' and '-i -'
- options of the corresponding commands.

* [PATCH v7 59/59] perf sched stats: Fix segmentation faults in diff mode
From: Ian Rogers @ 2026-04-25 22:45 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: <20260425224503.170337-1-irogers@google.com>
Address several segmentation fault vectors in `perf sched stats diff`:
1. When processing invalid or empty data files, the CPU domain maps may
be NULL. Added NULL checks for `cd_map1` and `cd_map2` in
`show_schedstat_data()` to fail gracefully.
2. When files contain a different number of CPUs or domains, the parallel
list iteration in `show_schedstat_data()` could wrap around the list
heads and dereference invalid memory. Added `list_is_last` checks
to safely terminate iteration at the end of each list.
3. When summarizing CPU statistics in `get_all_cpu_stats()`, parallel list
iteration over domains could similarly wrap around if a CPU has more
domains than the first CPU. Added `list_is_last` check to prevent this.
4. Added bounds checks for `cs1->cpu` and `cs2->cpu` against `nr1` and
`nr2` (passed from `env->nr_cpus_avail`) to prevent out-of-bounds
reads from `cd_map1` and `cd_map2` when processing data from machines
with different CPU configurations.
5. Added NULL checks for `cd_info1` and `cd_info2` in `show_schedstat_data()`
to prevent crashes when a CPU has samples in the data file but no
corresponding domain info in the header (which leaves the map entry NULL).
6. Added NULL checks for `dinfo1` and `dinfo2` in `show_schedstat_data()`
to prevent crashes when a domain is present in the list but has no
corresponding info in the CPU domain map (which leaves the entry NULL).
7. Zero-initialized the `perf_data` array in `perf_sched__schedstat_diff()`
to prevent stack garbage from causing `perf_data_file__fd()` to attempt
to use a NULL `fptr` when `use_stdio` happened to be non-zero.

* [PATCH v7 50/59] perf rwtop: Port rwtop to use python module
From: Ian Rogers @ 2026-04-25 22:44 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: <20260425224503.170337-1-irogers@google.com>
Port the legacy Perl script rwtop.pl to a python script using the perf
module in tools/perf/python.
The new script uses a class-based architecture and leverages the
perf.session API for event processing.
It periodically displays system-wide r/w call activity, broken down by
PID, refreshed every interval.
Complications:
- Implemented periodic display based on event timestamps
(sample.sample_time) instead of relying on SIGALRM, making it robust
for file-based processing.
- Used ANSI escape codes (\x1b[H\x1b[2J) to clear the terminal.
- Fixed unused imports and indentation issues identified by pylint.
- pylint warns about the module name not being snake_case, but it is
kept for consistency with the original script name.

v2:
- Added Live Session Support: Updated main() to start a LiveSession
when the input file does not exist (or is the default "perf.data"
and doesn't exist). It traces read and write entry/exit
tracepoints.
- Fixed Live Mode Comm Resolution: Fixed a bug in process_event()
where it would attempt to use self.session to resolve the command
name when running in live mode (where self.session is None ). It
now falls back to f"PID({pid})" when in live mode or if resolution
fails.
- Fixed Substring Matching: Replaced loose substring checks like if
"sys_enter_read" in event_name: with exact matches against
"evsel(syscalls:sys_enter_read)" and
"evsel(raw_syscalls:sys_enter_read)" using str(sample.evsel) . This
prevents unrelated syscalls with similar names (like readv or
readahead ) from being incorrectly aggregated. Similar fixes were
applied for exit events and write events.
- Inlined Handlers and Tracked Errors: Inlined the _handle_sys_*
helper methods into process_event() . Now, if a sample lacks
expected fields, it is added to the self.unhandled tracker instead
of being silently ignored.
- Fixed Write Byte Counting: Updated the write exit handler to use
sample.ret to count actual bytes written on success, and tracked
requested bytes separately in the enter handler, matching the read
behavior.
- Added Error Tables to Output: Added tables to display failed reads
and writes by PID in print_totals() , which were previously tracked
but never displayed.
- Fixed Offline Output (Ghosting): Removed the hardcoded ANSI
clear-screen escape codes in print_totals() , as they corrupted
output when processing offline trace files at CPU speed or when
piping the output.
- Code Cleanup: Fixed a bug where fd was printed instead of pid in
the read counts table, and broke long lines to satisfy pylint.

* [PATCH v7 55/59] perf Makefile: Update Python script installation path
From: Ian Rogers @ 2026-04-25 22:44 UTC (permalink / raw)

Cc: alice.mei.rogers, dapeng1.mi, linux-arm-kernel, linux-kernel,

In-Reply-To: <20260425224503.170337-1-irogers@google.com>
Remove libpython feature test that is now a python-module feature
test. Update references from libpython to python-module accordingly.
Remove references to legacy 'scripts/python' directory and install
scripts directly to 'python' directory under libexec. This aligns with
the removal of embedded interpreter and move to standalone
scripts.

* [PATCH v7 52/59] perf test: Migrate Intel PT virtual LBR test to use Python API

In-Reply-To: <20260425224503.170337-1-irogers@google.com>
The Intel PT virtual LBR test used an ad-hoc Python script written on
the fly to parse branch stacks. This change migrates it to use the
newly added `brstack` iterator API in the `perf` Python module.
Assisted-by: Gemini:gemini-3.1-pro-preview

v7:
- Fixed permanent iterator exhaustion on brstack by converting it
to a list.

* [PATCH v7 51/59] perf wakeup-latency: Port wakeup-latency to use python module
From: Ian Rogers @ 2026-04-25 22:44 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: <20260425224503.170337-1-irogers@google.com>
Port the legacy Perl script wakeup-latency.pl to a python script using
the perf module in tools/perf/python.
The new script uses a class-based architecture and leverages the
perf.session API for event processing.
It measures wakeup latency by tracking timestamps of
sched:sched_wakeup and sched:sched_switch events.
Complications:
- Used min() and max() built-in functions instead of if blocks to
satisfy pylint recommendations.
- pylint warns about the module name not being snake_case, but it is
kept for consistency with the original script name.
Assisted-by: Gemini:gemini-3.1-pro-preview
Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>
---
v2:
- Fixed Wakeup Latency Logic: Modified the script to track wakeup
timestamps per task (using sample.pid as the key) instead of per
CPU. This ensures that context switches are correctly paired with
the specific task that was woken up, even if multiple tasks are
woken up on the same CPU or if a task is migrated to a different
CPU before running.
- Prevented Memory Growth: Added del self.last_wakeup[next_pid] after
successful latency calculation to prevent the dictionary from
growing unbounded over time.
- Added Error Tracking: Added try-except blocks around tracepoint
field access in process_event() and tracked missing fields in self.
unhandled instead of ignoring them.

* [PATCH v7 49/59] perf rw-by-pid: Port rw-by-pid to use python module
From: Ian Rogers @ 2026-04-25 22:44 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: <20260425224503.170337-1-irogers@google.com>
Port the legacy Perl script rw-by-pid.pl to a python script using the
perf module in tools/perf/python.
The new script uses a class-based architecture and leverages the
perf.session API for event processing.
It tracks read and write activity by PID for all processes,
aggregating bytes requested, bytes read, total reads, and errors.
Complications:
- Refactored process_event to extract helper methods
(_handle_sys_enter_read, etc.) to reduce the number of branches and
satisfy pylint.
- Split long lines to comply with line length limits.
- pylint warns about the module name not being snake_case, but it is
kept for consistency with the original script name.
Assisted-by: Gemini:gemini-3.1-pro-preview
Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>
---
v2:
- Fixed Substring Matching: Replaced loose substring checks like if
"sys_enter_read" in event_name: with exact matches against
syscalls:sys_enter_read and raw_syscalls:sys_enter_read using
sample.evsel.name . This prevents unrelated syscalls with similar
names (like readahead ) from being incorrectly aggregated. Similar
fixes were applied for exit events and write events.
- Inlined Handlers and Tracked Errors: Inlined the _handle_sys_*
helper methods into process_event() to make error handling
easier. Now, if a sample lacks expected fields (raising
AttributeError ), it is added to the self.unhandled tracker instead
of being silently dropped, providing better visibility to the user.
- Code Cleanup: Fixed trailing whitespace and added a pylint disable
comment for too-many-branches caused by the inlining.
v6:
- Fixed `AttributeError` by using `str(sample.evsel)` to get event name.

* [PATCH v7 47/59] perf failed-syscalls: Port failed-syscalls to use python module

In-Reply-To: <20260425224503.170337-1-irogers@google.com>
Port the legacy Perl script failed-syscalls.pl to a python script
using the perf module in tools/perf/python.
The new script uses a class-based architecture and leverages the
perf.session API for event processing, making it a standalone script
that reads perf.data files.
It filters for sys_exit events, checks for failed syscalls (where
return value ret < 0), and aggregates counts per command name.
Complications:
- The script is designed for file-based processing using perf.session.
- pylint warns about the module name not being snake_case, but it is
kept for consistency with the original script name.

Modernize the legacy stackcollapse.py trace script by refactoring it
into a class-based architecture (StackCollapseAnalyzer).
The script uses perf.session for event processing and aggregates call
stacks to produce output suitable for flame graphs.

v2:
- Fixed Callchain Check: Replaced hasattr(sample, "callchain") with
getattr(sample, "callchain", None) and checked if it is not None .
This avoids attempting to iterate over None when a sample lacks a
callchain, which would raise a TypeError.
- Fixed Comm Resolution: The code already used
self.session.process(sample.sample_pid).comm() to resolve the
command name using the session object (if available), avoiding the
missing comm attribute on perf.sample_event.
- Code Cleanup: Broke a long line in process_event to satisfy pylint.

* [PATCH v7 48/59] perf rw-by-file: Port rw-by-file to use python module

In-Reply-To: <20260425224503.170337-1-irogers@google.com>
Port the legacy Perl script rw-by-file.pl to a python script using the
perf module in tools/perf/python.
The new script uses a class-based architecture and leverages the
perf.session API for event processing.
It tracks read and write activity by file descriptor for a given
program name, aggregating bytes requested/written and total counts.
Complications:
- Had to split long lines in __init__ to satisfy pylint.
- pylint warns about the module name not being snake_case, but it is
kept for consistency with the original script name.

v2:
- Fixed Substring Matching: Replaced if "sys_enter_read" in
event_name: with an exact match against syscalls:sys_enter_read and
raw_syscalls:sys_enter_read using sample.evsel.name . This prevents
variants like readv or readlink from incorrectly triggering the
read logic. Similar fixes were applied for write events.
- Fixed Silent Error Dropping: Instead of silently returning when
expected fields are missing (causing AttributeError ), the script
now increments the self.unhandled counter for that event. This
ensures that missing data or unexpected event variants are reported
to the user instead of quietly skewing the results.
v6:
- Fixed `AttributeError` by using `str(sample.evsel)` to get event name.

In-Reply-To: <20260425174858.3922152-1-irogers@google.com>
Ported from tools/perf/scripts/python/ and its Util lib.
- Refactored sched-migration.py to use a class structure
(SchedMigrationAnalyzer) to encapsulate state.
- Used perf.session for event processing.
- Ported SchedGui.py to the same directory to keep it as a local
dependency.
- Made wxPython dependency optional in sched-migration.py, printing a
message if it's missing instead of failing with ImportError.
- Cleaned up Python 2 compatibility artifacts.

v2:
tools/perf/python/SchedGui.py:
- Python 3 Compatibility: Fixed TypeError issues caused by float
division in Python 3 when wxPython expected integers. Used integer
division ( // ) and explicit int() casts for scrollbar and size
calculations.
- wxPython Phoenix API Updates:
- Replaced deprecated SetDimensions() with SetSize() .
- Replaced removed GetPositionTuple() with GetPosition() in
on_mouse_down.
- Fixed wx.PaintDC creation in on_paint to use
event.GetEventObject() to ensure valid DC creation regardless of
which window triggered the event.
- Layout and Rendering Fixes:
- Replaced static layout with a wx.SplitterWindow to physically
separate the drawing area from the text area, preventing them
from overlapping and restoring scrollbar functionality.
- Adjusted the initial sash position to give 3/4 of the height to
the drawing area.
- Replaced wx.StaticText with a multiline wx.TextCtrl for the
summary area to allow text selection and simpler value updates.
- Added CPU labels ("CPU ") drawn at the left edge of the visible
area in on_paint .
- Added background clearing ( dc.Clear() ) in on_paint to avoid
"ghosting" of old text and rectangles when scrolling.
tools/perf/python/sched-migration.py:
- Fixed a bug where sharing a snapshot in find_time_slice caused data
mutation across calls.
- Added safety checks to handle empty data cases (e.g., when
intervals have no events).
- Fixed fallbacks in fill_zone when search conditions fail to find a
matching time slice.

* [PATCH v7 46/59] perf task-analyzer: Port task-analyzer to use python module
From: Ian Rogers @ 2026-04-25 22:44 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: <20260425224503.170337-1-irogers@google.com>
Ported task-analyzer.py from tools/perf/scripts/python to
tools/perf/python. Refactored to class-based architecture. Added
support for both file mode (using perf.session) and live mode (using
evlist.read_on_cpu). Accesses tracepoint fields directly from sample
object.
Update task-analyzer testing to use command rather than script
version, this allows the perf.data file not to be in the same
directory as the test is run.
Assisted-by: Gemini:gemini-3.1-pro-preview

v2:
- Fixed CSV Color Corruption: Updated _check_color() to disable
colors immediately if --csv or --csv-summary is enabled, preventing
ANSI escape codes from corrupting CSV output even if stdout is a
TTY.
- Fixed _record_cleanup Conditions: Updated the cleanup condition to
check for summary_extended and summary_only as well as summary .
Also added a hard limit of 1000 entries to prevent unbounded memory
growth in live mode.
- Fixed Filter/Limit Mutual Exclusivity: Rewrote _limit_filtered() to
evaluate both --filter-tasks and --limit-to-tasks correctly when
both are specified, instead of returning early and making the limit
check unreachable.
- Fixed TID vs PID in process_event : Used
self.session.process(prev_pid).pid to resolve the actual Process ID
(TGID) for the previous task, instead of incorrectly passing the
Thread ID (TID) as the PID to _handle_task_finish() .
- Fixed Conflicting CSV Headers: Removed the hardcoded
semicolon-delimited headers written in run() , as they conflicted
with the comma- separated headers written by _print_header() .
- Updated test expectations.

* [PATCH v7 44/59] perf sctop: Port sctop to use python module
From: Ian Rogers @ 2026-04-25 22:44 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: <20260425224503.170337-1-irogers@google.com>
This commit ports sctop.py from tools/perf/scripts/python/ to
tools/perf/python/ using a class-based structure. It also adds live mode
support using the LiveSession helper with a fallback strategy for
tracepoint names.
Assisted-by: Gemini:gemini-3.1-pro-preview
Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>
---
v5:
1. Fix Fallback Logic: Check `__syscall_nr` and `nr` fields for syscall ID
if `id` is missing on fallback tracepoints.
2. Fix Thread Lookup Crash: Added try-except block around `session.process()`
to handle missing PIDs gracefully.

v5:
1. Fix Data Integrity: Added `comm_thread` ID sequence to prevent duplicate
primary keys in `comm_threads` table.
2. Fix COPY failure: Ensured file trailer is written and files are closed
before being copied to PostgreSQL, preventing data rejection.

+r"""
+Export perf data to a postgresql database.
+
+This script has been ported to use the modern perf Python module and
+libpq via ctypes. It no longer requires PySide2 or QtSql for exporting.
+
+The script assumes postgresql is running on the local machine and that the
+user has postgresql permissions to create databases.
+
+An example of using this script with Intel PT:
+
+ $ perf record -e intel_pt//u ls
+ $ python tools/perf/python/export-to-postgresql.py -i perf.data -o pt_example
+
+To browse the database, psql can be used e.g.
+
+ $ psql pt_example
+ pt_example=# select * from samples_view where id < 100;
+ pt_example=# \d+
+ pt_example=# \d+ samples_view
+ pt_example=# \q
+
+An example of using the database is provided by the script
+exported-sql-viewer.py. Refer to that script for details.
+
+Tables:
+
+ The tables largely correspond to perf tools' data structures. They are
+ largely self-explanatory.
+
+ samples
+ 'samples' is the main table. It represents what instruction was
+ executing at a point in time when something (a selected event)
+ happened. The memory address is the instruction pointer or 'ip'.
+
+ branch_types
+ 'branch_types' provides descriptions for each type of branch.
+
+ comm_threads
+ 'comm_threads' shows how 'comms' relates to 'threads'.
+
+ comms
+ 'comms' contains a record for each 'comm' - the name given to the
+ executable that is running.
+
+ dsos
+ 'dsos' contains a record for each executable file or library.
+
+ machines
+ 'machines' can be used to distinguish virtual machines if
+ virtualization is supported.
+
+ selected_events
+ 'selected_events' contains a record for each kind of event that
+ has been sampled.
+
+ symbols
+ 'symbols' contains a record for each symbol. Only symbols that
+ have samples are present.
+
+ threads
+ 'threads' contains a record for each thread.
+
+Views:
+
+ Most of the tables have views for more friendly display. The views are:
+
+ comm_threads_view
+ dsos_view
+ machines_view
+ samples_view
+ symbols_view
+ threads_view

* [PATCH v7 39/59] perf intel-pt-events: Port intel-pt-events/libxed to use python module
From: Ian Rogers @ 2026-04-25 22:41 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>
Ported from tools/perf/scripts/python/.
- Refactored intel-pt-events.py to use a class structure to eliminate
global state and improve maintainability.
- Removed Python 2 compatibility checks.
- Renamed methods in libxed.py to snake_case (Instruction ->
instruction, SetMode -> set_mode, DisassembleOne -> disassemble_one)
to comply with pylint.
Assisted-by: Gemini:gemini-3.1-pro-preview
Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>

v2:
1. Robustness in print_cbr : Added checks to ensure raw_buf is at
least 12 bytes long and that the frequency divisor is not zero,
avoiding struct.error and ZeroDivisionError .
2. Robustness in print_evt : Added buffer length checks in the loop to
prevent struct.error if event data count exceeds available buffer.
3. Buffer Handling in disassem : Used
ctypes.create_string_buffer(insn, 64) to properly initialize the
buffer with raw bytes, preventing truncation on \x00 bytes.
4. Corrected Field Names: Reverted short names to sample_ip ,
sample_time , and sample_cpu across multiple methods.
5. Comm Resolution: Used session.process(sample.sample_pid).comm() to
get the thread name, rather than failing back to "Unknown" .
6. Event Name Cleanup: Stripped evsel( and ) from event names.
7. Fixed Broken Pipe Handling: Prevented sys.stdout from being closed
before exiting in the handler.
8. Eliminated Hardcoded Offset in libxed.py : Added
xed_decoded_inst_get_length from the official LibXED API rather
than relying on the hardcoded byte offset 166 .

* [PATCH v7 41/59] perf netdev-times: Port netdev-times to use python module
From: Ian Rogers @ 2026-04-25 22:41 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>
Ported from tools/perf/scripts/python/.
- Refactored the script to use a class structure (NetDevTimesAnalyzer)
to encapsulate state.
- Used perf.session for event collection and processed them in time
order at the end to match legacy behavior.
- Extracted tracepoint fields directly from sample attributes.
- Moved format string constants to module level.
- Cleaned up Python 2 compatibility artifacts (like cmp_to_key).
Assisted-by: Gemini:gemini-3.1-pro-preview
Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>
---
v2: Corrected Field Names: Fixed getattr calls for skblen and dev_name
to use "len" and "name" respectively, as exposed by the actual
tracepoints.

* [PATCH v7 36/59] perf export-to-sqlite: Port export-to-sqlite to use python module
From: Ian Rogers @ 2026-04-25 22:41 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 commit ports the export-to-sqlite.py script to use the modern perf
Python module and the standard library sqlite3 module. It drops the
dependency on PySide2.QtSql.

v5:
1. Fix Callchain Resolution: Corrected attribute lookups on callchain
nodes. The `dso` and `symbol` properties already return strings, so
attempting to get a `.name` attribute from them failed and caused
fallback to "Unknown_...".

+Export perf data to a sqlite3 database.
+
+This script has been ported to use the modern perf Python module and the
+standard library sqlite3 module. It no longer requires PySide2 or QtSql
+for exporting.
+
+Examples of using this script with Intel PT:
+
+ $ perf record -e intel_pt//u ls
+ $ python tools/perf/python/export-to-sqlite.py -i perf.data -o pt_example
+
+To browse the database, sqlite3 can be used e.g.
+
+ $ sqlite3 pt_example
+ sqlite> .header on
+ sqlite> select * from samples_view where id < 10;
+ sqlite> .mode column
+ sqlite> select * from samples_view where id < 10;
+ sqlite> .tables
+ sqlite> .schema samples_view
+ sqlite> .quit
+
+An example of using the database is provided by the script
+exported-sql-viewer.py. Refer to that script for details.

* [PATCH v7 42/59] perf powerpc-hcalls: Port powerpc-hcalls to use python module
From: Ian Rogers @ 2026-04-25 22:41 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>
Ported from tools/perf/scripts/python/.
- Refactored the script to use a class structure (HCallAnalyzer) to
encapsulate state.
- Used perf.session for event processing.
- Tracked hcall entry and exit to calculate duration and aggregate
statistics.
- Moved the large hcall_table to a module-level constant HCALL_TABLE.
- Cleaned up Python 2 compatibility artifacts.

In-Reply-To: <20260425224125.160890-1-irogers@google.com>
Add a port of the check-perf-trace script that uses the perf python
module directly. This approach is significantly faster than using perf
script callbacks as it avoids creating intermediate dictionaries for
all event fields.

v2:
1. String Match Accuracy: Replaced the substring check for `irq:softirq_entry`
events with a robust exact string match.
v3:
1. Safe Thread Resolution: Swapped out sample.sample_pid with
sample.sample_tid and safeguarded the session process lookup with
a try-except block.
v4:
1. Git Fixup Cleanup: Squashed the lingering fixup commit from the previous
session into its proper patch.

v2:
1. Dynamic Database Path: Moved DB_PATH to a command-line argument (
-d / --database ) that defaults to "perf.db" .
2. Security: Avoided using /dev/shm by default to prevent symlink
attacks, while retaining the performance suggestion in the help
text.
3. Corrected Closure Call: Fixed the bug where it was trying to call
.filter() on a closure.
v6:
- Fixed performance issue by removing autocommit mode in SQLite and
batching commits.

* [PATCH v7 32/59] perf arm-cs-trace-disasm: Port arm-cs-trace-disasm to use python module
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>
Add a port of the arm-cs-trace-disasm script that uses the perf python
module directly. This approach is significantly faster than using perf
script callbacks as it avoids creating intermediate dictionaries for
all event fields. Update the testing to use the ported script.
Assisted-by: Gemini:gemini-3.1-pro-preview
Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>
---
v2:
1. Added Missing Import: Added import perf at the top of
arm-cs-trace-disasm.py .
2. Fixed Unpacking Error: Updated the call to sample.srccode() to
expect a 3-tuple instead of a 4-tuple, matching the return type in
the C extension.
3. Fixed Termination Logic: Replaced return with sys.exit(0) when the
stop_time or stop_sample limits are reached to properly terminate
the processing loop.
4. Fixed Test Path: Updated script_path in
test_arm_coresight_disasm.sh to point to
../../python/arm-cs-trace-disasm.py instead of the old legacy path.

Ported from tools/perf/scripts/python/.
- Refactored the script to use a class structure (DropMonitor) to
encapsulate state.
- Used perf.session for event processing instead of legacy global
handlers.
- Maintained the manual /proc/kallsyms reading and binary search for
symbol resolution as in the original script.
- Cleaned up Python 2 compatibility artifacts.

v2:
1. Fixed Sorting of Locations: Kept location as an integer in the
drop_log dictionary keys so that they are sorted numerically rather
than lexicographically when generating the report.
2. Fixed Interrupt Handling: Moved the call to get_kallsyms_table()
and print_drop_table() outside the try-except block. This ensures
that the reporting phase happens exactly once, even if the user
interrupts the trace with Ctrl-C.

* [PATCH v7 31/59] perf gecko: Port gecko to use python module
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>
Add a port of the gecko script that uses the perf python module
directly. This approach is significantly faster than using perf script
callbacks as it avoids creating intermediate dictionaries for all
event fields.

v2:
1. Improved Portability: Replaced the non-portable uname -op call with
platform.system() and platform.machine() , preventing potential
crashes on non-Linux platforms like macOS or BSD.
2. Robust Fallbacks: Fixed getattr calls for symbol and dso to
explicitly handle None values, preventing literal "None (in None)"
strings in the output when resolution fails.
3. Network Security: Bound the HTTP server to 127.0.0.1 (localhost)
instead of 0.0.0.0 (all interfaces), ensuring the current directory
is not exposed to the local network.
4. Avoided Port Conflicts: Switched from hardcoded port 8000 to port
0, allowing the operating system to automatically select an
available free port.
5. Fixed Race Condition: Moved HTTPServer creation to the main thread,
ensuring the server is bound and listening before the browser is
launched to fetch the file.
6. Browser Spec Compliance: Used 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost in the
generated URL to ensure modern browsers treat the connection as a
secure origin, avoiding mixed content blocks.
v6:
- Fixed CWD exposure and symlink attack risks by using a secure
temporary directory for the HTTP server.
