[PATCH v1 00/58] perf: Reorganize scripting support

[PATCH v1 00/58] perf: Reorganize scripting support

[Ian Rogers]

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 (10583 insertions, 15882 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.

[PATCH v1 01/58] perf inject: Fix itrace branch stack synthesis

[Ian Rogers]

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.

[PATCH v1 05/58] perf script: Sort includes and add missed explicit dependencies

[Ian Rogers]

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 v1 09/58] perf data: Add open flag

[Ian Rogers]

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.

[PATCH v1 10/58] perf evlist: Add reference count

[Ian Rogers]

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.

[PATCH v1 11/58] perf evsel: Add reference count

[Ian Rogers]

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.

[PATCH v1 12/58] perf evlist: Add reference count checking

[Ian Rogers]

Now the evlist is reference counted, add reference count checking so
that gets and puts are paired and easy to debug. Reference count
checking is documented here:
https://perfwiki.github.io/main/reference-count-checking/

This large patch is adding accessors to evlist functions and switching
to their use. There was some minor renaming as evlist__mmap is now an
accessor to the mmap variable, and the original evlist__mmap is
renamed to evlist__do_mmap.

[PATCH v1 15/58] perf python: Add python session abstraction wrapping perf's session

[Ian Rogers]

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']
['__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']
['__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.

[PATCH v1 16/58] perf python: Add syscall name/id to convert syscall number and name

[Ian Rogers]

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.

[PATCH v1 17/58] perf python: Refactor and add accessors to sample event

[Ian Rogers]

Add a common field for the evsel of an event. The evsel is derived
from the PERF_SAMPLE_ID or PERF_SAMPLE_IDENTIFIER that are potentially
present in all events.

Move fields, like sample_ip, to only be present in sample events. This
avoids errors like getting the sample ip for an mmap event.

Add new accessors for sample event raw_buf, dso, dso_long_name,
dso_bid, map_start, map_end, map_pgoff, symbol, sym_start, sym_end,
srccode and insn.

Minor tweaks to pyrf_evlist__str and pyrf_evsel__str.

[PATCH v1 23/58] perf python: Add LiveSession helper

[Ian Rogers]

Add LiveSession class in tools/perf/python/perf_live.py to support
live event collection using perf.evlist and perf.parse_events,
avoiding the need to fork a separate perf record process.

These scripts are standalone and not using the `perf script` libpython
support. Move to tools/perf/python in an effort to deprecate the
tools/perf/scripts/python support.

[PATCH v1 25/58] perf stat-cpi: Port stat-cpi to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

Port stat-cpi.py from the legacy framework to a standalone script.
Support both file processing mode (using perf.session) and live mode
(reading counters directly via perf.parse_events and evsel.read). Use
argparse for command line options handling. Calculate and display CPI
(Cycles Per Instruction) per interval per CPU/thread.

[PATCH v1 27/58] perf syscall-counts: Port syscall-counts to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

Rewrite tools/perf/scripts/python/syscall-counts.py to use the python
module and various style changes. By avoiding the overheads in the
`perf script` execution the performance improves by more than 4x as
shown in the following (with PYTHON_PATH and PERF_EXEC_PATH set as
necessary):

```
$ perf record -e raw_syscalls:sys_enter -a sleep 1
...
$ time perf script tools/perf/scripts/python/syscall-counts.py perf
Install the python-audit package to get syscall names.
For example:
  # apt-get install python3-audit (Ubuntu)
  # yum install python3-audit (Fedora)
  etc.

[PATCH v1 28/58] perf syscall-counts-by-pid: Port syscall-counts-by-pid to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

Rewrite tools/perf/scripts/python/syscall-counts-by-pid.py to use the
python module and various style changes. By avoiding the overheads in
the `perf script` execution the performance improves by more than 3.8x
as shown in the following (with PYTHON_PATH and PERF_EXEC_PATH set as
necessary):

```
$ perf record -e raw_syscalls:sys_enter -a sleep 1
...
$ time perf script tools/perf/scripts/python/syscall-counts-by-pid.py perf
Install the python-audit package to get syscall names.
For example:
  # apt-get install python3-audit (Ubuntu)
  # yum install python3-audit (Fedora)
  etc.

[PATCH v1 30/58] perf flamegraph: Port flamegraph to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

Add a port of the flamegraph 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.

[PATCH v1 31/58] perf gecko: Port gecko to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

[PATCH v1 32/58] perf arm-cs-trace-disasm: Port arm-cs-trace-disasm to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

[PATCH v1 33/58] perf check-perf-trace: Port check-perf-trace to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

+Report time spent in memory compaction.
+
+Memory compaction is a feature in the Linux kernel that defragments memory
+by moving used pages to create larger contiguous blocks of free memory. This
+is particularly useful for allocating huge pages.
+
+This script processes trace events related to memory compaction and reports:
+- Total time spent in compaction (stall time).
+- Statistics for page migration (moved vs. failed).
+- Statistics for the free scanner (scanned vs. isolated pages).
+- Statistics for the migration scanner (scanned vs. isolated pages).
+
+Definitions:
+- **Compaction**: Defragmenting memory by moving allocated pages.
+- **Migration**: Moving pages from their current location to free pages found by the free scanner.
+- **Free Scanner**: Scans memory (typically from the end of a zone) to find free pages.
+- **Migration Scanner**: Scans memory (typically from the beginning of a zone)
+  to find pages to move.
+- **Isolated Pages**: Pages that have been temporarily removed from the buddy
+  system for migration or as migration targets.

[PATCH v1 35/58] perf event_analyzing_sample: Port event_analyzing_sample to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

Add a port of the event_analyzing_sample 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.

[PATCH v1 36/58] perf export-to-sqlite: Port export-to-sqlite to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

Ported from tools/perf/scripts/python/export-to-sqlite.py to use the
perf Python module API.

Key changes:
- Switched from PySide2.QtSql to standard library sqlite3 for database
  operations.
- Implemented lazy population of lookup tables (threads, comms, dsos,
  symbols) from sample data.
- Added callchain support for building call paths.

[PATCH v1 37/58] perf export-to-postgresql: Port export-to-postgresql to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

Ported from tools/perf/scripts/python/export-to-postgresql.py to use
the perf Python module API.

Key changes:
- Removed PySide2 dependency by using libpq via ctypes for all DB
  operations (DDL and COPY).
- Kept the high-performance binary file generation and COPY FROM STDIN
  approach.
- Implemented lazy population of lookup tables from sample data.

+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 v1 38/58] perf failed-syscalls-by-pid: Port failed-syscalls-by-pid to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

Ported from tools/perf/scripts/python/failed-syscalls-by-pid.py to use
the perf Python module API.

Key changes:
- Used perf.syscall_name() to resolve syscall names instead of legacy
  Util library.
- Used standard collections.defaultdict for nested statistics
  aggregation.
- Used errno.errorcode for resolving error strings.
- Supported optional filtering by COMM or PID via command line
  arguments.

[PATCH v1 39/58] perf intel-pt-events: Port intel-pt-events/libxed to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

[PATCH v1 40/58] perf net_dropmonitor: Port net_dropmonitor to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

[PATCH v1 41/58] perf netdev-times: Port netdev-times to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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).

[PATCH v1 42/58] perf powerpc-hcalls: Port powerpc-hcalls to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

[PATCH v1 43/58] perf sched-migration: Port sched-migration/SchedGui to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

[PATCH v1 44/58] perf sctop: Port sctop to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

Port sctop.py from tools/perf/scripts/python/ to tools/perf/python/,
refactoring it to use a class-based structure (SCTopAnalyzer) and the
perf.session API.

Also add support for live mode using the LiveSession helper when no
input file is specified, with a fallback strategy for tracepoint names
(raw_syscalls:sys_enter or syscalls:sys_enter) to support different
systems.

[PATCH v1 45/58] perf stackcollapse: Port stackcollapse to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

[PATCH v1 46/58] perf task-analyzer: Port task-analyzer to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

[PATCH v1 47/58] perf failed-syscalls: Port failed-syscalls to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

[PATCH v1 48/58] perf rw-by-file: Port rw-by-file to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

[PATCH v1 49/58] perf rw-by-pid: Port rw-by-pid to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

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.

[PATCH v1 51/58] perf wakeup-latency: Port wakeup-latency to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

[PATCH v1 52/58] perf test: Migrate Intel PT virtual LBR test to use Python API

[Ian Rogers]

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.

[PATCH v1 53/58] perf: Remove libperl support, legacy Perl scripts and tests

[Ian Rogers]

This commit removes embedded Perl interpreter support from perf, as all
legacy Perl scripts have been ported to Python or are no longer needed.

Changes include:
- Removal of libperl feature detection and flags from Makefile.config.
- Removal of Perl script installation rules from Makefile.perf.
- Removal of build rules for trace-event-perl.o and Perf-Trace-Util.
- Deletion of tools/perf/util/scripting-engines/trace-event-perl.c.
- Removal of Perl scripting operations and setup from
  trace-event-scripting.c.
- Removal of setup_perl_scripting() call from builtin-script.c and
  declaration from trace-event.h.
- Removal of Perl checks in the script browser (scripts.c).
- Removal of libperl from the supported features list in
  builtin-check.c and Documentation/perf-check.txt.
- Removal of make_libperl target from tests/make.
- Deletion of the entire tools/perf/scripts/perl directory containing
  legacy Perl scripts.
- Removal of tools/perf/tests/shell/script_perl.sh test.

-Perf-Trace-Util version 0.01
-============================
-
-This module contains utility functions for use with perf script.
-
-Core.pm and Util.pm are pure Perl modules; Core.pm contains routines
-that the core perf support for Perl calls on and should always be
-'used', while Util.pm contains useful but optional utility functions
-that scripts may want to use.  Context.pm contains the Perl->C
-interface that allows scripts to access data in the embedding perf
-executable; scripts wishing to do that should 'use Context.pm'.
-
-The Perl->C perf interface is completely driven by Context.xs.  If you
-want to add new Perl functions that end up accessing C data in the
-perf executable, you add desciptions of the new functions here.
-scripting_context is a pointer to the perf data in the perf executable
-that you want to access - it's passed as the second parameter,
-$context, to all handler functions.
-
-After you do that:
-
-  perl Makefile.PL   # to create a Makefile for the next step
-  make               # to create Context.c
-
-  edit Context.c to add const to the char* file = __FILE__ line in
-  XS(boot_Perf__Trace__Context) to silence a warning/error.
-
-  You can delete the Makefile, object files and anything else that was
-  generated e.g. blib and shared library, etc, except for of course
-  Context.c
-
-  You should then be able to run the normal perf make as usual.
-
-INSTALLATION
-
-Building perf with perf script Perl scripting should install this
-module in the right place.
-
-You should make sure libperl and ExtUtils/Embed.pm are installed first
-e.g. apt-get install libperl-dev or yum install perl-ExtUtils-Embed.
-
-DEPENDENCIES
-
-This module requires these other modules and libraries:
-
-  None

[PATCH v1 54/58] perf: Remove libpython support and legacy Python scripts

[Ian Rogers]

This commit removes embedded Python interpreter support from perf, as
all legacy Python scripts have been ported to standalone Python
scripts or are no longer needed.

Changes include:
- Removal of libpython detection and flags from Makefile.config.
- Removal of Python script installation rules from Makefile.perf.
- Deletion of tools/perf/util/scripting-engines/trace-event-python.c.
- Removal of Python scripting operations and setup from
  trace-event-scripting.c.
- Removal of setup_python_scripting() call from builtin-script.c and
  declaration from trace-event.h.
- Removal of Python checks in the script browser (scripts.c).
- Removal of libpython from the supported features list in builtin-check.c
  and Documentation/perf-check.txt.
- Deletion of the legacy Python scripts in tools/perf/scripts/python.

-# libqt4-sql-psql for Qt postgresql support.
-#
-# The script assumes postgresql is running on the local machine and that the
-# user has postgresql permissions to create databases. Examples of installing
-# postgresql and adding such a user are:
-#
-# fedora:
-#
-#	$ sudo yum install postgresql postgresql-server qt-postgresql
-#	$ sudo su - postgres -c initdb
-#	$ sudo service postgresql start
-#	$ sudo su - postgres
-#	$ createuser -s <your user id here>    # Older versions may not support -s, in which case answer the prompt below:
-#	Shall the new role be a superuser? (y/n) y
-#	$ sudo yum install python-pyside
-#
-#	Alternately, to use Python3 and/or pyside 2, one of the following:
-#		$ sudo yum install python3-pyside
-#		$ pip install --user PySide2
-#		$ pip3 install --user PySide2
-#
-# ubuntu:
-#
-#	$ sudo apt-get install postgresql
-#	$ sudo su - postgres
-#	$ createuser -s <your user id here>
-#	$ sudo apt-get install python-pyside.qtsql libqt4-sql-psql
-#
-#	Alternately, to use Python3 and/or pyside 2, one of the following:
-#
-#		$ sudo apt-get install python3-pyside.qtsql libqt4-sql-psql

-#	pt_example=# \d+ samples_view

-# An example of using the database is provided by the script

-#
-# 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'.
-#
-#	calls
-#
-#		'calls' represents function calls and is related to 'samples' by 'call_id' and 'return_id'.
-#		'calls' is only created when the 'calls' option to this script is specified.
-#
-#	call_paths
-#
-#		'call_paths' represents all the call stacks.  Each 'call' has an associated record in 'call_paths'.
-#		'calls_paths' is only created when the 'calls' option to this script is specified.
-#
-#	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:
-#
-#		calls_view
-#		call_paths_view
-#		comm_threads_view
-#		dsos_view
-#		machines_view
-#		samples_view
-#		symbols_view
-#		threads_view
-#
-# More examples of browsing the database with psql:
-#   Note that some of the examples are not the most optimal SQL query.
-#   Note that call information is only available if the script's 'calls' option has been used.
-#
-#	Top 10 function calls (not aggregated by symbol):
-#
-#		SELECT * FROM calls_view ORDER BY elapsed_time DESC LIMIT 10;
-#
-#	Top 10 function calls (aggregated by symbol):
-#
-#		SELECT symbol_id,(SELECT name FROM symbols WHERE id = symbol_id) AS symbol,
-#			SUM(elapsed_time) AS tot_elapsed_time,SUM(branch_count) AS tot_branch_count
-#			FROM calls_view GROUP BY symbol_id ORDER BY tot_elapsed_time DESC LIMIT 10;
-#
-#		Note that the branch count gives a rough estimation of cpu usage, so functions
-#		that took a long time but have a relatively low branch count must have spent time
-#		waiting.
-#
-#	Find symbols by pattern matching on part of the name (e.g. names containing 'alloc'):
-#
-#		SELECT * FROM symbols_view WHERE name LIKE '%alloc%';
-#
-#	Top 10 function calls for a specific symbol (e.g. whose symbol_id is 187):
-#
-#		SELECT * FROM calls_view WHERE symbol_id = 187 ORDER BY elapsed_time DESC LIMIT 10;
-#
-#	Show function calls made by function in the same context (i.e. same call path) (e.g. one with call_path_id 254):
-#
-#		SELECT * FROM calls_view WHERE parent_call_path_id = 254;
-#
-#	Show branches made during a function call (e.g. where call_id is 29357 and return_id is 29370 and tid is 29670)
-#
-#		SELECT * FROM samples_view WHERE id >= 29357 AND id <= 29370 AND tid = 29670 AND event LIKE 'branches%';
-#
-#	Show transactions:
-#
-#		SELECT * FROM samples_view WHERE event = 'transactions';
-#
-#		Note transaction start has 'in_tx' true whereas, transaction end has 'in_tx' false.
-#		Transaction aborts have branch_type_name 'transaction abort'
-#
-#	Show transaction aborts:
-#
-#		SELECT * FROM samples_view WHERE event = 'transactions' AND branch_type_name = 'transaction abort';
-#
-# To print a call stack requires walking the call_paths table.  For example this python script:
-#   #!/usr/bin/python2
-#
-#   import sys
-#   from PySide.QtSql import *

-# To use this script you will need to have installed package python-pyside which
-# provides LGPL-licensed Python bindings for Qt.  You will also need the package
-# libqt4-sql-sqlite for Qt sqlite3 support.
-#
-# Examples of installing pyside:
-#
-# ubuntu:
-#
-#	$ sudo apt-get install python-pyside.qtsql libqt4-sql-psql
-#
-#	Alternately, to use Python3 and/or pyside 2, one of the following:
-#
-#		$ sudo apt-get install python3-pyside.qtsql libqt4-sql-psql
-#		$ sudo apt-get install python-pyside2.qtsql libqt5sql5-psql
-#		$ sudo apt-get install python3-pyside2.qtsql libqt5sql5-psql
-# fedora:
-#
-#	$ sudo yum install python-pyside
-#
-#	Alternately, to use Python3 and/or pyside 2, one of the following:
-#		$ sudo yum install python3-pyside
-#		$ pip install --user PySide2
-#		$ pip3 install --user PySide2
-#
-# An example of using this script with Intel PT:
-#
-#	$ perf record -e intel_pt//u ls
-#	$ perf script -s ~/libexec/perf-core/scripts/python/export-to-sqlite.py pt_example branches calls
-#	2017-07-31 14:26:07.326913 Creating database...
-#	2017-07-31 14:26:07.538097 Writing records...
-#	2017-07-31 14:26:09.889292 Adding indexes
-#	2017-07-31 14:26:09.958746 Done
-#
-# 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.
-#
-# The database structure is practically the same as created by the script
-# export-to-postgresql.py. Refer to that script for details.  A notable
-# difference is  the 'transaction' column of the 'samples' table which is
-# renamed 'transaction_' in sqlite because 'transaction' is a reserved word.

[PATCH v1 55/58] perf Makefile: Update Python script installation path

[Ian Rogers]

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 v1 56/58] perf script: Refactor to support standalone scripts and remove legacy features

[Ian Rogers]

- 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.

-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

-perf-script-python - Process trace data with a Python script

 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.
+This section shows how to create a simple Python script that reads a
+`perf.data` file and prints event information.
 
-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):
+Create a file named `print_events.py` with the following content:

-----
-
-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:
+#!/usr/bin/env python3
+import perf
 
-- 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.
+def process_event(sample):
+    print(f"Event: {sample.evsel} on CPU {sample.sample_cpu} at {sample.sample_time}")
 
-- 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:
+# Open the session with perf.data file
+session = perf.session(perf.data("perf.data"), sample=process_event)
 
+# Process all events
+session.process_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) ]
+Make the script executable:
 ----
-
-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).
-
+$ chmod +x print_events.py

-
-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:
-
+Run the script:
 ----
-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):
+$ perf script print_events.py
 ----
 
-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:
-
+Or run it directly with Python, ensuring `perf.so` is in your `PYTHONPATH`:
 ----
-  syscalls = autodict()
-
-  try:
-    syscalls[id] += 1
-  except TypeError:
-    syscalls[id] = 1
+$ PYTHONPATH=/path/to/perf/python python3 print_events.py
 ----
 
-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):

-				  reverse = True):
-	    print "%-40s  %10d\n" % (syscall_name(id), val),
-----
-
-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:
-
-----
-# cat kernel-source/tools/perf/scripts/python/bin/syscall-counts-report
-
-#!/bin/bash
-# description: system-wide syscall counts
-perf script -s ~/libexec/perf-core/scripts/python/syscall-counts.py
-----
-
-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:
-
-----
-# ls -al kernel-source/tools/perf/scripts/python
-total 32
-drwxr-xr-x 4 trz trz 4096 2010-01-26 22:30 .
-drwxr-xr-x 4 trz trz 4096 2010-01-26 22:29 ..
-drwxr-xr-x 2 trz trz 4096 2010-01-26 22:29 bin
--rw-r--r-- 1 trz trz 2548 2010-01-26 22:29 check-perf-script.py
-drwxr-xr-x 3 trz trz 4096 2010-01-26 22:49 Perf-Trace-Util
--rw-r--r-- 1 trz trz 1462 2010-01-26 22:30 syscall-counts.py
-----
-
-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:
-
-----
-# 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
-----
-
-You can now perform the record step via 'perf script record':
-
-  # perf script record syscall-counts
-
-and display the output using 'perf script report':
-
-  # 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)`: Turns a syscall number to a string.
+- `syscall_id(name)`: 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.

perf evsel/evlist: Avoid unnecessary #includes

This commit attempts to reduce header dependencies by using forward
declarations and removing unnecessary includes in evsel.h and evlist.h,
while also sorting the forward declarations.

> Use forward declarations and remove unnecessary #includes in evsel.h
> and evlist.h. Sort the forward declaration.s

This isn't a bug, but there is a typo (declaration.s) at the end of the
commit message.

Also, looking at the diff for evlist.h, it appears the includes were merely
reordered rather than removed. Is the commit message accurate regarding
removing unnecessary includes in evlist.h?

Is this forward declaration for struct evsel needed? Since evsel.h is still
included a few lines above, the forward declaration appears to be redundant.

perf gecko: Port gecko to use python module

This commit adds 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.

Can this crash on non-Linux platforms like macOS or BSD? The -o and -p
options are GNU coreutils extensions and might raise a
subprocess.CalledProcessError on systems where they are invalid.

If the C extension explicitly returns Python's None for unresolved symbols
rather than raising an AttributeError, will getattr successfully return None
here? This would cause the f-string to evaluate to the literal string
"None (in None)" rather than the intended [unknown] fallback.

Does this configuration expose the current working directory to the entire
local network? By binding to an empty string, it listens on 0.0.0.0 (all
available interfaces) rather than restricting it securely to 127.0.0.1.

>             httpd = HTTPServer(server_address, CORSRequestHandler)

What happens if port 8000 is already in use by another process? It looks
like HTTPServer will raise an OSError, causing the daemon thread to crash
silently while leaving the main thread trapped in an infinite while True
loop.

>         webbrowser.open(url)

Is there a race condition here where the browser might attempt to fetch the
profile before the newly spawned server thread has actually bound to the
port and started listening?

This isn't a bug, but I noticed the "util/" prefix was removed from
hashmap.h in other files like evsel.c and stat.c, while it remains here.

Should this be updated to just "hashmap.h" so it sorts correctly under 'h'

Will this crash with a TypeError on older Linux distributions?

The key parameter for the bisect module functions was only introduced in
Python 3.10. Running this script on older, widely-supported environments
like RHEL 9 (Python 3.9) or Ubuntu 20.04 (Python 3.8) might fail to
execute.

Does this ignore command-line arguments by hardcoding the input trace file?

By hardcoding perf.data here, the script ignores sys.argv and forces users
to ensure their trace file is named exactly perf.data and is located in
the current working directory.

Could this be updated to parse arguments and support dynamic trace files,
similar to how the original perf script implementation handled the -i
argument?

perf python: Move exported-sql-viewer.py and parallel-perf.py to tools/perf/python/

This commit moves the exported-sql-viewer.py and parallel-perf.py scripts
from tools/perf/scripts/python/ to tools/perf/python/ as they are standalone
and do not use the perf script libpython support.

> diff --git a/tools/perf/scripts/python/exported-sql-viewer.py b/tools/perf/python/exported-sql-viewer.py
> similarity index 100%
> rename from tools/perf/scripts/python/exported-sql-viewer.py
> rename to tools/perf/python/exported-sql-viewer.py

This isn't a bug, but do the usage examples inside exported-sql-viewer.py
still reference the old script path?

The comments at the top of the script appear to instruct users to run it
using the old path, which might lead to confusion when the examples fail to
execute:

python tools/perf/scripts/python/exported-sql-viewer.py

> diff --git a/tools/perf/scripts/python/parallel-perf.py b/tools/perf/python/parallel-perf.py
> similarity index 100%
> rename from tools/perf/scripts/python/parallel-perf.py
> rename to tools/perf/python/parallel-perf.py

Does this move break the parallel-perf test in
tools/perf/tests/shell/script.sh?

The test_parallel_perf() function seems to hardcode the script path:

tools/perf/tests/shell/script.sh:test_parallel_perf() {
    ...
    pp=$(dirname "$0")/../../scripts/python/parallel-perf.py
    if [ ! -f "${pp}" ]; then
        ...
}

Since the path in the test is not updated in tandem with the script move, will
this cause the check to evaluate to true and silently skip the test?

This appears to result in a permanent loss of test coverage, as subsequent
commits do not seem to resolve the path mismatch.

If a KeyboardInterrupt occurs while gathering kallsyms data or printing the
table, will this exception handler execute the cleanup phase a second time?

Looking at get_kallsyms_table():

    def get_kallsyms_table(self) -> None:
        ...
                    self.kallsyms.append((loc, name))

Because it appends to the kallsyms list, could restarting this phase lead
to duplicated entries?

Author: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>

perf flamegraph: Port flamegraph to use python module

Add a port of the flamegraph 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.

Will this script raise a TypeError on older Python versions? Using
list[Node] for type hinting relies on PEP 585, which requires Python 3.9+.
Could this use typing.List instead to maintain compatibility with older
environments?

Similarly, does using list[Dict] here cause compatibility issues on versions
prior to Python 3.9?

Could this linear search loop cause severe performance degradation? For
exceptionally wide call graphs with many unique symbols at the same depth,
iterating over node.children for every frame could create an O(N^2)
bottleneck.

Does this skip adding sample details if the profile was recorded without
callchains?

If sample.callchain is empty, the script skips the frame processing loop
entirely and only increments the root process node, which might result in
flamegraphs that only display process names. Could it fall back to the
instruction pointer or symbol?

> +                    )

Does this logic inadvertently prevent the template from downloading when
--allow-download is passed?

If self.args.allow_download is true, the script skips updating the
template variable to the CDN URL, keeping it as the non-existent local path.
This causes the subsequent open() to fail and fall back to minimal HTML.

Also, can this overwrite a custom HTTP URL provided via the --template
argument?

Since os.path.isfile() evaluates to false for HTTP URLs, providing
a custom URL without --allow-download causes the script to warn that the
template does not exist and silently overwrite the user's URL with the
default cdn.jsdelivr.net URL.

Will this print statement corrupt the output stream if the user specifies
-o - to output the data to stdout? Writing informational warnings to standard
output instead of standard error might cause downstream tools or browsers to
fail when parsing the resulting HTML or JSON.

Is MD5 robust enough for template integrity verification? Since MD5 is
vulnerable to collision attacks, might it allow a maliciously modified
template to produce the expected hash?

Can printing the unverified output_str directly to the terminal inject
malicious ANSI escape sequences? If the downloaded template from an untrusted
source fails the checksum, embedding the raw payload into the input() prompt
could manipulate the user's terminal emulator.

Does embedding the JSON directly into the HTML script block allow for

could a maliciously crafted process or thread name prematurely terminate the

Does this script need an import for the perf module? The code uses it
directly in several places like perf.config_get() and perf.sample_event,
but it does not appear to be imported.

Can this cause a runtime error when unpacking? The underlying
pyrf_sample_event__srccode in python.c constructs a 3-element tuple using
Py_BuildValue("(sIs#)", ...), but this code attempts to unpack 4 elements.

Does returning here correctly stop the analysis? Since
self.session.process_events() loops through all records, returning only skips
the current callback instead of terminating the session like the original
script did.

Will this test fail because script_path still points to the old legacy
script? The new python module was added to tools/perf/python/ instead of
tools/perf/scripts/python/.

perf export-to-postgresql: Port export-to-postgresql to use python module

This commit ports export-to-postgresql.py to use the perf Python module API
instead of PySide2. It uses libpq via ctypes for database operations while
keeping the high-performance binary file generation approach. Lazy population
of lookup tables from sample data is also implemented.

Is hardcoding "libpq.so.5" strictly required here?

On systems where the PostgreSQL client library uses a different naming
convention (e.g., libpq.so or libpq.so.6), this might fail to load.
Could we use ctypes.util.find_library('pq') to locate the library
dynamically?

After calling PQputCopyEnd(), is it necessary to call PQgetResult() until
it returns NULL?

The libpq C-API requires clearing the PGRES_COMMAND_OK status of the COPY
command. Failing to do so might leave the database connection in a busy
state, causing the next PQexec call (e.g., copying the next table) to fail
with an "another command is already in progress" error.

Will this query fail if the user provides a database name with hyphens
(e.g., -o my-perf-data)?

PostgreSQL usually requires double-quoted identifiers for hyphens. This might
break functionality for common naming conventions or expose the script to
SQL injection.

The script initializes a binary file for the branch_types table, but is there
logic to populate it?

It appears the table is completely unpopulated. Will queries relying on
joining against branch_types to map branch names consistently return NULL?

Does this struct.pack format string match the number of provided arguments?

The format string requires 51 arguments to properly serialize the data into
PostgreSQL's binary COPY format, but starting around the period attribute,
the length prefix arguments seem to be omitted. Since only 42 arguments are
provided, won't this unconditionally raise a struct.error exception on the
first processed event?

If a second thread executes the same command name, the cache lookup succeeds
and bypasses the write_comm_thread() call. Does this mean no comm_thread
relationship is written for the new thread?

This might silently omit associations for any thread that happens to share a
command name with an earlier thread.

Here finalize() calls self.close_output_file(f) which closes the file, and
then immediately passes it to self.copy_output_file().

Since copy_output_file() attempts to execute f.seek(0) and f.read(65536),
will this raise a ValueError for attempting I/O operations on a closed file?

If an exception occurs during setup_db() or process_events(), the finalize()
method is bypassed.

Could this leak the temporary directory and binary trace files, causing
subsequent runs to fail with a FileExistsError on os.mkdir()?

Are the field names skblen and dev_name correct for these tracepoints?

The core networking tracepoints (netif_receive_skb, netif_rx, net_dev_queue)
typically expose these fields as len and name.

If getattr falls back to the default values, does this cause all packets to
report 0 length and '[unknown]' device, breaking the device filtering logic
used later in the script?

Could this block be facing the same tracepoint field mismatch with skblen and

Does calling .filter() on cls.fobj cause an AttributeError?

The helper functions get_comm_filter() and get_pid_filter() return standard
Python closures (functions) rather than class instances.

Since a function object does not have a .filter() method, it appears this
will crash the script when a user supplies a filter argument.

Should this be invoked directly as cls.fobj(pid, comm)?

Will accessing sample.sample_comm crash the script with an AttributeError?

The perf Python C extension does not implement a sample_comm member or
getter in pyrf_sample_event__members or pyrf_sample_event__getset.

The underlying tracepoint exposes the command line string as common_comm,
which can be accessed via dynamic tracepoint field resolution.

Because this property is missing, accessing it will raise an AttributeError
on the first processed event.

Will this raise an AttributeError when accessing sample.sample_comm?

The perf.sample_event C-extension wrapper implemented in
tools/perf/util/python.c does not appear to expose a sample_comm attribute
or property.

Because sample_comm is also not a tracepoint field, the dynamic fallback in
get_tracepoint_field() will likely fail, causing PyObject_GenericGetAttr()
to raise an exception and stop the script when processing the first event.

Does the perf.sample_event object expose a comm attribute in the new Python
API? 

If it is missing, getattr will fall back to "Unknown" for every event. This
would cause all events to be aggregated together under a single name, and
would drop all events if the comm filter is active.

Should this resolve the comm by querying the session, for example by
calling session.process(sample.pid).comm() instead?

If perf.syscall_name() returns None for invalid or unknown syscall IDs
(such as the fallback -1), will applying a width format specifier (<16) to
a NoneType cause a TypeError and crash the script?

Can struct.unpack_from() raise an exception if raw_buf is empty or smaller

Are there missing length checks on raw_buf? If evd_cnt is larger than the
remaining buffer size, wouldn't struct.unpack_from() raise a struct.error
and terminate the session?

Doesn't assigning insn to buf.value treat it as a null-terminated C string?
Since x86 machine code can contain \x00 bytes, won't this prematurely truncate
the instruction stream before disassembly? Would assigning to buf.raw be
safer?

Do these sample attributes exist on the new perf.sample_event C extension
object? Looking at the sample_member_def macro in tools/perf/util/python.c,
it seems the properties are exposed with a sample_ prefix, such as
sample_ip, sample_cpu, and sample_time. Will accessing sample.ip raise an

Does the perf.sample_event object expose a comm property? Without the legacy

unconditionally fall back to Unknown? Would calling
session.process(sample.sample_pid).comm() be required to retrieve the
thread name?

Also, doesn't str(sample.evsel) return a formatted string like
evsel(instructions) rather than just instructions?

When the with block ends, f is closed, but sys.stdout still points to it.
When sys.exit(1) triggers interpreter shutdown, will it attempt to flush the
closed sys.stdout and raise a secondary ValueError, defeating the purpose of
suppressing the traceback?

Is it safe to rely on this hardcoded internal struct offset? If the layout of
xed_decoded_inst_t changes across libxed versions and byte 166 contains a
garbage value larger than bytes_cnt, will the calling loop in
print_common_ip() perform an out-of-bounds read and crash? Should this use
the official libxed API function to get the instruction length?

Does this code drop the final batch of accumulated syscall events when
running in offline mode?

When process_events() completes, the script reaches the finally block and
calls stop():

> +    def stop(self):
> +        """Stop the background thread."""
> +        self.stop_event.set()
> +        self.thread.join()

Setting stop_event causes stop_event.wait(self.interval) to return
immediately. The loop condition evaluates to false, and the thread exits
without printing any events that were gathered since the last loop iteration.

If the trace file takes less than the default 3 seconds to parse, would the
script exit silently without producing any output at all?

Also, since process_events() parses the trace file as fast as the CPU allows

sizes are dependent on the host's parsing speed rather than the trace
duration?

Looking at tools/perf/util/setup.py and tools/perf/Makefile.perf,

Is this a regression where the build system leaves the .pyi file
behind in the source tree, making it inaccessible to the user's

Is it a regression that this class does not include its __init__ method?

Looking at pyrf_sample_event__members in tools/perf/util/python.c,
sample_comm does not appear to be exported.

Could this regression pass static analysis but fail with an
AttributeError at runtime if developers use event.sample_comm?

The python extension explicitly exports this branch entry attribute as
"from" via pyrf_branch_entry__getset.

Since "from" is a Python keyword, it is typically accessed via
getattr(entry, 'from').

Would defining it as from_ be a regression that leads to an
AttributeError at runtime?

The stubs omit several event classes entirely, such as mmap_event,
lost_event, comm_event, task_event, throttle_event, read_event, and
switch_event.

Is it a regression that methods like get_pollfd and add are also missing
from evlist?

perf stat-cpi: Port stat-cpi to use python module

This commit ports stat-cpi.py from the legacy framework to a standalone
script. It supports both file processing mode and live mode to calculate
and display CPI per interval.

Since store() saves the tuple (val, ena, run), does this get() method
lead to inaccurate CPI calculations by only extracting the raw count
value?

If the PMU is overcommitted and counters are multiplexed, they might run
for different fractions of the interval. Without scaling the values
(e.g., val * (ena / float(run)) when run > 0), the script appears to
compute CPI using unscaled partial counts.

In file processing mode, PERF_RECORD_STAT events contain cumulative,
absolute counter values.

Because self.data.clear() discards the previous interval's state without
subtracting those previous absolute values from the current ones, does this
result in calculating the cumulative CPI from the start of the trace, rather
than the "per interval" CPI described in the commit message?

Since self.cpus and self.threads are independently populated as lists of all
unique CPUs and threads seen across the interval, does this nested loop create
a Cartesian product?

If some CPU/thread pairs fail to read (for example, if OSError is caught in
read_counters()), it looks like this will query get() for pairs that were
never recorded, polluting the output with zeroed dummy entries.

Would storing and iterating over recorded (cpu, thread) tuples prevent this?

What happens if the python script calls __init__ multiple times on the same
object?

If pyrf_data__init() is called a second time, it unconditionally assigns
pdata->data.path = strdup(path) without freeing the previously allocated
string. It also overwrites the previously stored file descriptor.

Since data->open might already be true, perf_data__open() will return early,
and perf_data__close() will only close the newly overwritten file descriptor
when the object is destroyed.

Will this leak both the previously allocated string memory and the original
file descriptor?

> +	if (perf_data__open(&pdata->data) < 0) {

Is the user-provided fd argument ignored for regular files?

Looking at the underlying C API, perf_data__open() delegates to open_file(),
which invokes open() on the file path and unconditionally overwrites
data->file.fd with the newly generated file descriptor.

Could this cause unexpected behavior and potential file descriptor leaks if a
user passes an open file descriptor from Python?

If path is omitted during initialization, pdata->data.path remains NULL.
Inside perf_data__open(), it checks if (!data->path) and assigns it the
static string literal "perf.data".

When the Python object is later garbage collected, this destructor is called:

pyrf_data__delete()
   ...
   free((char *)pdata->data.path);

Can this crash the interpreter by attempting to free a static string literal
from the .rodata section?

Is it possible for pdata->data.path to be NULL here?

PyUnicode_FromString() expects a valid null-terminated string and will
segfault if passed a NULL pointer.

This pointer could remain NULL if the Python script instantiates the class
using perf.data.__new__(perf.data) without calling __init__(), or if
__init__() is called without a path but STDIN_FILENO is a pipe (causing
perf_data__open() to return early via check_pipe() before assigning the
default string).

Will calling str() or repr() on such an object cause a segmentation fault?

perf export-to-sqlite: Port export-to-sqlite to use python module

of lookup tables and adds callchain support.

Is this example still valid? The script no longer contains CREATE VIEW
statements for samples_view, which might break downstream tools like
exported-sql-viewer.py that rely on these views to function.

Also, this script appears to drop support for tracking call and return
elapsed times, context switches, and power management events like ptwrite
or cbr. Are these features planned for a future follow-up?

Does this fallback logic work as expected? If pyrf_sample_event__get_dso
returns None instead of raising an AttributeError, getattr will return
None rather than the Unknown_dso string. This could lead to inserting
NULL into the database instead of the expected textual fallback.

Will str(sample.evsel) record the event name accurately? The string

Can accessing sample.ip, sample.time, and sample.cpu raise an AttributeError
here? The perf Python API exposes these properties with a sample_ prefix,
such as sample_ip, sample_time, and sample_cpu.

Does this logic intentionally drop branch destination fields and branch_type
by hardcoding them to 0? This might break hardware branch tracing use-cases
like Intel PT.

Additionally, will getattr(sample, 'period', 0) and getattr(sample,
'weight', 0) successfully retrieve the period and weight? The underlying
C-extension attributes are named sample_period and sample_weight, which
means getattr might silently fall back to 0 and lose this data.

Is there a race condition here between checking if the file exists and
creating the database connection? If a symbolic link is created at the
output path right after the check, it might be followed during
initialization.

Can removing the database file before calling exporter.close() cause issues?
Deleting the main SQLite database file while the connection is still active
could lead to permissions errors on some operating systems or leave behind
dangling auxiliary files like rollback journals.

In Python 3, division (/) returns a float. Does wxPython Phoenix strict

Should this use integer division (//) instead?

Does this calculate the absolute distance from the start of the trace to the
event's end time, rather than its duration?

If so, will this cause the drawn rectangles to be excessively wide and overlap
across the timeline? Should width_px be calculated as self.us_to_px(end - start)?

Since this uses float division (/), will it return a fractional value?

If the parsed perf.data file lacks scheduler events, self.data is empty.

If the user scrolls such that the requested start time is slightly before
the first recorded event, find_time_slice() returns -1. Does returning
early here cause the timeline to abruptly go completely blank, even if the
end timestamp still overlaps with valid data?

Should it fall back to starting at index 0 instead of returning?

This isn't a bug, but is the id_keys variable needed? It appears to be

Will this crash with a TypeError if an unknown syscall ID is encountered?

If perf.syscall_name(id) returns None for an unmapped syscall, passing None
to the string format specifier (:<38) will raise a TypeError.

Is a try...except block needed here to handle untracked PIDs?

If the underlying C extension fails to find the thread for the PID (which
can happen for short-lived processes or dropped events), it raises a Python
TypeError.

Without handling this exception, encountering a single untracked PID could
abruptly terminate the entire analysis session.

Does this remove the ability to filter syscall counts by Process ID?

The original legacy script allowed users to filter by Process ID by checking
if the argument was parseable as an integer.

With this change, passing a PID will interpret the input as a literal string
command name, silently failing to filter.

Does hardcoding perf.data break the ability to use custom input files?

Because the script's argparse configuration does not accept an -i override,
it appears it will completely ignore custom input files passed via perf
script (e.g., perf script -i mytrace.data) and always process perf.data
from the current directory.

perf python: Expose brstack in sample event

Implement pyrf_branch_entry and pyrf_branch_stack for lazy
iteration over branch stack entries.

Does exposing the branch origin as 'from' cause a SyntaxError in Python since
it is a reserved keyword? This might force users to unidiomatically rely on
getattr(entry, 'from').

Can this regression lead to reading freed memory if the stack is iterated
outside the event callback?

Since pevent->sample.branch_stack is a shallow copy pointing to the original
event buffer, if a Python script stores the event object and iterates it
lazily later, the original buffer might be overwritten or unmapped.

If the overwritten memory yields a large value for bs->nr, could this bypass
the loop bound and read out-of-bounds memory from the entries[] array?

Does this code leak the type object if PyModule_AddObject() fails?

According to the Python C-API, PyModule_AddObject() only steals the reference
on success. If it returns -1, the reference is not stolen.

perf event_analyzing_sample: Port event_analyzing_sample to use python module

This commit adds a port of the event_analyzing_sample script to use the
perf python module directly. It aims to improve performance by avoiding
the creation of intermediate dictionaries for all event fields.

This was retained from the original script, but does this create a symlink
overwrite regression?

Since /dev/shm is world-writable, an unprivileged user could pre-create a
symlink at /dev/shm/perf.db pointing to an arbitrary system file. If a
privileged user runs this script, would sqlite3.connect() follow the symlink
and overwrite the target file?

Does this code successfully resolve the command name for sub-threads?

Looking at the C extension's implementation, pyrf_session__process passes
the single sample_pid value to machine__find_thread() for both the pid and
tid arguments. This means it only finds the thread object if the TID equals
the PID.

Will this cause events originating from sub-threads to record the main
thread's comm or fail to resolve entirely, whereas the original callback
behavior resolved the specific sub-thread correctly?

Does calling str() on the evsel object introduce a regression in how event
names are stored?

The python type implementation for evsel formats the string representation
as evsel(name). Unlike the original script which used the raw event name
like cycles, this code will record the string as evsel(cycles) in the
database's name column.

Will this implicit behavioral change break compatibility for downstream
database queries expecting the raw event name?

Does this name collision silently hide the event header 'type' attribute?

The array defines two members with the identical string name 'type'. When
PyType_Ready() initializes the class dictionary, the latter definition of
'type' overwrites the former.

Will accessing event.type from Python on a stat_round event yield the 64-bit
round type instead of the expected 32-bit event header type
(PERF_RECORD_STAT_ROUND)? This might break scripts that dispatch events based
on event.type.

Does this leak the result of the Python callback?

PyObject_CallFunction() returns a new reference to the result, which is
currently ignored and never decremented via Py_DECREF(), causing a memory
leak for every processed event.

Furthermore, if the Python callback raises an exception,
PyObject_CallFunction() returns NULL and leaves the exception set in the
Python thread state.

Should the C code check the return value to prevent returning to the Python
interpreter with a pending exception?

Does this leak the 'stat' callback object on session deallocation?

The ADD_TOOL macro increments the reference count of the callback argument
via Py_INCREF and stores it in psession->stat, but the destructor
pyrf_session__delete() appears to omit the corresponding
Py_XDECREF(psession->stat) call.

Also, this isn't a regression introduced by this patch, but does the error
path in pyrf_session__init() cause a double-free and use-after-free?

If symbol__init() fails, the code manually cleans up:

pyrf_session__init() {
    ...
    if (symbol__init(perf_session__env(psession->session)) < 0) {
        perf_session__delete(psession->session);
        Py_DECREF(pdata);
        return -1;
    }
    ...
}

Returning -1 from a tp_init slot causes Python to tear down the partially
initialized object by invoking tp_dealloc, which maps to
pyrf_session__delete().

Because the error handlers do not clear the dangling pointers (e.g. setting
psession->session = NULL), pyrf_session__delete() will unconditionally
call Py_XDECREF(psession->pdata) and perf_session__delete(psession->session)
a second time.

Does storing every single duration in a list risk unbounded memory growth

drops support for custom trace files. This breaks compatibility with

Does this code crash when a sample lacks a callchain?

The perf.sample_event object exposes callchain as a C API property descriptor.
If a sample lacks a callchain, pyrf_sample_event__get_callchain explicitly
returns Py_None.

Because returning None does not raise an AttributeError,
hasattr(sample, "callchain") evaluates to True. The script then attempts
to iterate over None in the for loop, which raises a TypeError and
terminates the script.

Are all samples grouped under an "Unknown" process name?

The C extension's perf.sample_event type does not expose a comm attribute,
unlike the legacy perf script dictionary. Consequently, getattr will silently
and perpetually default to "Unknown", preventing proper process separation in
the collapsed output.

This commit rewrites the tools/perf/scripts/python/syscall-counts.py script to
use the python module directly. This avoids the overhead of executing via perf
script, improving execution performance.

What happens if perf.syscall_name(id) returns None for an unmapped syscall
ID?

Applying a width specifier (<40) to a NoneType object throws a TypeError,
which will abort the output. Should there be a fallback mechanism, such as
using the numeric ID when the name is unknown?

On some older kernels and architectures, the tracepoint format field for
syscalls is named nr instead of __syscall_nr.

Will accessing sample.__syscall_nr raise an AttributeError in those
environments? Is it possible to check for nr as a fallback?

If a thread lookup fails (for example, for short-lived processes or samples
recorded before procfs synthesis completes), session.process() returns NULL
and sets a Python TypeError.

Can this uncaught exception bubble up and cause the script to crash?

The previous implementation running under perf script automatically supported
standard options like -i my_trace.data to override the input file.

Since the file path is now hardcoded to perf.data, does this introduce a
regression in usability by preventing the analysis of arbitrarily named
trace files?

perf rwtop: Port rwtop to use python module

This commit ports the legacy Perl script rwtop.pl to a python script using
the perf module in tools/perf/python. It uses a class-based architecture to
periodically display system-wide r/w call activity, broken down by PID.

Will this loose substring match catch unrelated syscalls like
sys_enter_readv?

If sys_enter_readv is caught, it lacks a count field, which raises an
AttributeError in _handle_sys_enter_read() that is silently caught. But
sys_exit_readv has a ret field, so _handle_sys_exit_read() will add to
bytes_read without incrementing the read count.

Does this lead to desynchronized operation counts from byte counts, and
hide these unhandled variants from the unhandled events dictionary?

> +        except AttributeError:
> +            pass

Does this code incorrectly track requested bytes instead of actual bytes
written?

For reads, bytes_requested and bytes_read are separated, but here
bytes_written uses the requested count and ignores sample.ret on successful
writes, which might overcount partial writes.

This isn't a bug, but it looks like the error tracking dictionaries are
populated here and in _handle_sys_exit_read(), but never used or displayed
in print_totals().

The commit message states this is "robust for file-based processing", but
does the combination of event-time flushing and hardcoded ANSI clear-screen
escapes break offline processing?

When parsing an offline perf.data file, the processing happens at CPU speed,
which will instantly clear the terminal for every interval and only leave
the final output visible, or garble the output if piped.

perf data: Add open flag

This commit adds an open flag to the perf_data struct to avoid double opens
and ensure only open files are closed. This helps with python integration
where data files are opened before being passed to a session.

> diff --git a/tools/perf/util/data.c b/tools/perf/util/data.c

Does this break file rotation via perf_data__switch()?

When perf record --switch-output triggers a file switch, it calls
perf_data__switch() which closes the current file via
perf_data_file__close(&data->file). This sets data->file.fd = -1
but does not reset the newly added data->open flag to false.

When perf_data__switch() subsequently attempts to open the new file by
calling perf_data__open(data), it hits this early exit and returns
immediately.

This causes subsequent calls like perf_data__seek() to attempt operations
on a -1 file descriptor, aborting the recording session.

Does this cause a memory leak of data->file.path if directory
creation fails?

In open_dir(), data->file.path is allocated via asprintf(). If the
subsequent mkdir() call fails, open_dir() returns -1 immediately.
Because perf_data__open() receives an error, it returns without setting
data->open = true.

When the caller handles the error by calling perf_data__close() to
clean up, it hits this new early return and bypasses the call to
perf_data_file__close(), permanently leaking the allocated string.

perf rw-by-pid: Port rw-by-pid to use python module

This commit ports the legacy Perl script rw-by-pid.pl to a Python script
using the perf module. It tracks read and write activity by PID for all
processes, aggregating bytes requested, bytes read, total reads, and errors.

Does this loose substring matching incorrectly aggregate unrelated syscalls?

If the event name is syscalls:sys_enter_readv, syscalls:sys_enter_readlink, or
syscalls:sys_enter_readahead, it appears they will match this condition. The
original Perl script bound callbacks to exact function names.

This could cause statistical inaccuracies when analyzing traces with other
syscall events:

1. sys_enter_readv lacks a count field, so sample.count raises an
AttributeError which is silently ignored. However, sys_exit_readv does have a
ret field, so its return value is added to bytes_read without updating
bytes_requested.

2. sys_enter_readahead has a count field, so bytes_requested is inflated. But
sys_exit_readahead returns 0 on success, which the exit handler treats as an
error, falsely registering every successful readahead as a read error with
code 0.

Would exact event name matching, such as checking if the event name ends with
:sys_enter_read, prevent these inaccuracies?

Under the new standalone script architecture, how are standard command-line
filtering options (such as --cpu, --time, or --pid) applied to the trace
processing?

While this limitation appears to have been introduced by the previous patch
in the series that refactored the script execution model, this commit
documents the new behavior.

Since perf script spawns the Python script as a separate process, it
doesn't appear to pass these parsed filters to the spawned process through
arguments or environment variables.

Looking at the new perf.session Python API, it initializes a fresh
perf_session and processes all events directly from perf.data without
native support or parameters for applying these filters.

Will users executing a command like 'perf script --cpu 0 myscript.py' have
their filters silently ignored, causing the script to process the entire
trace instead of the requested subset?

Will this type hint crash on Python versions older than 3.9?

The kernel's perf tools support Python 3.6 and newer, but built-in generics
like dict[str, int] were introduced in Python 3.9. On earlier Python versions,
evaluating this annotation raises a TypeError because the type object is not
subscriptable.

Could this be updated to use typing.Dict instead to maintain compatibility with
older supported Python versions?

Will this hardcoded path cause issues for out-of-tree builds?

If perf is built using an output directory, the perf.so Python extension will
be placed in the build directory rather than the source tree. 

It looks like the import perf module resolution might fail with a
ModuleNotFoundError during out-of-tree test execution, causing the shell
script to see an invalid output and explicitly fail the virtual LBR test.

Could this change cause the test to falsely fail instead of skipping when perf
is built without Python support?

The previous code checked perf version --build-options to verify that
libpython was actually compiled into the tool. Relying only on setup_python.sh
checks if the python executable exists on the host system.

If perf is compiled without python-dev headers, the interpreter will still
try to run the script and crash during import perf. The shell script captures
the empty output, falls back to a 0 value, and registers a test failure
instead of a skip.

Does this inject ANSI color escape codes into the CSV output?

When using --csv, sys.stdout might still be attached to a terminal even
though the tabular data is written to a file. This would cause the check to
pass and corrupt the CSV fields with color codes.

Should this check include self.args.summary_extended and
self.args.summary_only?

If those flags are used without --summary, the arrays are prematurely
truncated, which might break calculations that rely on the full history.

Could this also cause unbounded memory growth in live mode?

If self.args.summary is set, _record_cleanup() doesn't truncate the lists.
Since _run_live() runs an infinite loop, it looks like the self.db arrays
will grow forever and eventually exhaust memory.

Are --filter-tasks and --limit-to-tasks meant to be mutually exclusive?

If self.args.filter_tasks is specified but no match is found, the function
returns False early, meaning the limit_to_tasks check is unreachable.

Are we incorrectly tracking the Thread ID (TID) as the Process ID (TGID) here?

sample.prev_pid corresponds to the kernel's thread ID, but it's passed as
both the tid and pid arguments to _handle_task_finish(). This loses the
actual Process ID information and breaks the PID column output.

Does this intentionally omit the full summary logic?

The --summary flags seem to be broken compared to the legacy version because
the actual calculation and output are missing.

Does this corrupt the CSV file by writing two conflicting headers?

This writes a hardcoded header with a semicolon delimiter, but immediately
after, _run_file() calls _print_header() which writes comma-separated
headers. This leaves the file with multiple contradictory headers.

This isn't a regression from this patch, but does pyrf_evlist__read_on_cpu()
take ownership of the evsel reference?

Looking at pyrf_evlist__read_on_cpu(), the evsel is retrieved using
evlist__event2evsel(), which returns a borrowed reference. However, this
destructor unconditionally calls evsel__put().

Since no evsel__get() is called when the python event is created, will every
garbage-collected sample event erroneously decrement the evsel's internal
refcount, potentially leading to a use-after-free while the evsel is still
actively used by the evlist?

This isn't a regression introduced by this patch, but are we at risk of an
uninitialized memory dereference on this error path?

When a new pyrf_event is allocated with PyObject_New(), the embedded sample
struct is uninitialized. If evlist__event2evsel() returns NULL, this error
path calls Py_DECREF(pyevent).

This triggers the destructor pyrf_sample_event__delete(), which calls
evsel__put(pevent->sample.evsel) and perf_sample__exit(&pevent->sample).

Because pevent->sample was never initialized, could this pass uninitialized
heap garbage to evsel__put() and perf_sample__exit(), potentially causing
memory corruption?

perf python: Add python session abstraction wrapping perf's session

This commit adds a python session abstraction wrapping perf's session,
allowing a tool to use perf.data files. It allows passing a sample
callback during session creation, process event iteration, and retrieving
thread and comm details.

Can thread__comm() return NULL for threads that haven't generated comm
events? If so, will passing it to comm__str() cause a segmentation fault?
Should this check for NULL or use thread__comm_str() instead?

Does doing a shallow copy of the sample struct lead to a double free?
If the sample contains pointers to lazily allocated memory like user_regs,
when the Python wrapper is garbage collected, won't its destructor free the
pointers, leaving the perf core to double free them?

> +
> +	PyObject_CallFunction(psession->sample, "O", pyevent);

Does this leak memory if the callback succeeds? The return value of
PyObject_CallFunction is ignored and never decremented.

Also, if the callback raises an exception, PyObject_CallFunction returns
NULL and sets the exception indicator. Since this returns 0 and continues
the loop, will returning to the Python interpreter with an active
exception trigger a fatal SystemError?

Can the O format specifier result in type confusion? If a user passes an
integer or string instead of a perf.data object, it will be cast to
struct pyrf_data, which could lead to memory corruption when
perf_session__new() accesses it. 

Should this use O! with &pyrf_data__type instead to enforce type safety?

Are we missing the build_id event handler here? Without registering
perf_event__process_build_id, will the machine representation lack build
IDs for DSOs, preventing the symbol subsystem from accurately resolving
addresses?

If symbol__init() fails, perf_session__delete() and Py_DECREF() are
called. When tp_init returns -1, Python automatically invokes the
object's tp_dealloc method. 

Since psession->session and psession->pdata aren't set to NULL after
being freed here, will the destructor unconditionally execute the cleanup
again, leading to a double-free and a fatal interpreter crash?

Does ignoring the return value of perf_session__process_events() mask
C-level errors? If event processing fails due to file corruption, the
negative integer error code is swallowed, leaving Python scripts unaware
of the truncation.

perf wakeup-latency: Port wakeup-latency to use python module

This commit ports the legacy Perl script wakeup-latency.pl to a python script
using the perf module in tools/perf/python. It tracks timestamps of
sched:sched_wakeup and sched:sched_switch events to measure latency.

Does this logic accurately measure wakeup latency? It appears to be keyed by
the target CPU rather than the task being woken up.

If multiple tasks are woken up on the same CPU before a context switch
occurs, wouldn't the earlier wakeup timestamps get overwritten? When
sched_switch fires, the script pairs the last recorded wakeup timestamp with
whichever task is being switched in, even if the incoming task is completely
unrelated.

Additionally, if a task is load-balanced to a different CPU after wakeup,
would the latency calculation use the wrong CPU's last wakeup time or fail to
find one?

Tracking the wakeup timestamps per-task using the woken task's PID instead of
the CPU might be necessary to accurately measure wakeup latency, though I see
this behavior was ported directly from the legacy Perl script.

Author: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>

    perf evsel: Add reference count
    
    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.

With this new evsel__put() added, could this cause a use-after-free regression
or a crash when handling errors in pyrf_evlist__read_on_cpu()?

In pyrf_evlist__read_on_cpu(), the event object is allocated without
zero-initialization, and evsel is assigned later:

        PyObject *pyevent = pyrf_event__new(event);
        struct pyrf_event *pevent = (struct pyrf_event *)pyevent;
        struct evsel *evsel;

        if (pyevent == NULL)
                return PyErr_NoMemory();

        evsel = evlist__event2evsel(evlist, event);
        if (!evsel) {
                Py_DECREF(pyevent);
                Py_INCREF(Py_None);
                return Py_None;
        }

        pevent->evsel = evsel;

If evlist__event2evsel() returns NULL, Py_DECREF(pyevent) is called. Since
pevent->evsel is uninitialized, won't pyrf_sample_event__delete() pass a
garbage pointer to evsel__put() and crash?

Additionally, if evsel is successfully assigned, pyrf_evlist__read_on_cpu()
sets pevent->evsel = evsel without incrementing the reference count via
evsel__get(). When this Python event is garbage collected, the unconditionally
called evsel__put() will decrement the reference count owned by the evlist.
Could this regression lead to premature freeing of the evsel and a subsequent
use-after-free when the evlist tries to access it?

Since __init__ can be manually invoked multiple times in Python, could this
cause a memory leak regression? If a user calls __init__ again on an existing
object, the previously allocated evsel pointer in pevsel->evsel will be
overwritten without calling evsel__put(), leaking the evsel memory.

Also, if evsel__new(&attr) fails and returns NULL, this function evaluates to
-1 and returns. Is it required to set a Python exception like PyErr_NoMemory()
before returning -1 here? Returning an error without setting an exception
violates the Python C API contract.

Could this lead to a NULL pointer dereference regression? The pyrf_evsel__type
uses PyType_GenericNew for its .tp_new slot, which allows a user to
instantiate an object directly via perf.evsel.__new__(perf.evsel).

This allocates the Python object with zeroed memory, leaving pevsel->evsel as
NULL. If __init__ is bypassed, any access to the object's properties (such as
.type calling this function) will unconditionally dereference the NULL
pevsel->evsel and crash the interpreter.

Could this lead to a memory leak of the Python wrapper and a use-after-free
regression of the C evsel? The Python object's reference count is
intentionally incremented via Py_INCREF(pevsel) to keep it alive, but the
inner evsel is added to the evlist without calling evsel__get().

When the evlist is purged, it will call evsel__put(), which drops the
reference count and frees the evsel structure. Won't the permanently leaked
Python wrapper then hold a dangling pointer, leading to a use-after-free if

perf python: Add callchain support
    
Implement pyrf_callchain_node and pyrf_callchain types for lazy
iteration over callchain frames. Add callchain property to
sample_event.

If the event is manually instantiated in Python or yielded from a context
where the evsel lookup failed, evsel might be NULL. Could this cause a
NULL pointer dereference when accessing evsel->evlist?

The pyrf_event object holds a reference count to its evsel, keeping it
alive even if the parent evlist and perf_session are closed or garbage
collected.

Since evsel does not hold a strong reference back to evlist, could
evsel->evlist be a dangling pointer here once the evlist is destroyed?

If the Python script has dropped the session but retained the event,
would accessing evlist->session dereference freed memory?

The callchain property defers resolution until iteration.

However, pchain->pevent->sample.callchain points directly into the
kernel's mmap ring buffer. If the Python script stores the callchain
and iterates it outside the immediate event callback, the underlying mmap
buffer might have already advanced or been unmapped.

Could this deferred parsing cause thread__resolve_callchain() to parse
overwritten memory or trigger a segfault? Would it be safer to perform
callchain resolution eagerly when the event is processed?

symbol_conf is a process-wide global configuration structure.

Does modifying it unconditionally in pyrf_session__init() mean that
initializing a new Python perf.session instance could overwrite the global
configuration for all other concurrent sessions in the same Python process?

perf inject: Fix itrace branch stack synthesis
    
When using "perf inject --itrace=L" to synthesize branch stacks from

Does this code overflow event_copy? 

If a large event near PERF_SAMPLE_MAX_SIZE is processed and add_last_branch
is set, adding PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK causes the recalculated sz to exceed
65536 bytes. 

perf_event__synthesize_sample() would then write out of bounds into the heap.

Can moving this attribute modification to just before writing the file header
corrupt the output?

During perf_event__repipe_sample(), if itrace_synth_opts.last_branch is true
but add_last_branch is false, the event is synthesized and written using its
original sample_type. Additionally, this skips the fallback call to
perf_inject__cut_auxtrace_sample(), leaving PERF_SAMPLE_AUX data intact.

When the file header is subsequently written with the modified attributes
here, it advertises that all events contain branch stacks and lack AUX data,
causing a structural mismatch between the global header and the payload.

Could this cause a NULL pointer dereference in perf_event__sample_event_size()
which is called during event delivery?

If PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK is present in evsel->synth_sample_type but
missing from evsel->core.attr.sample_type, sample.branch_stack will be NULL.

However, because the bit is set in the type passed to
intel_pt_deliver_synth_event(), the branch_stack pointer is dereferenced
unconditionally.

Are these reads safe for events that lack PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_HW_INDEX?

When an event lacks the hardware index, sample->branch_stack points directly
to the raw payload where hw_idx is omitted, meaning the entries array starts
8 bytes earlier (at offset 8 instead of 16).

Reading sample->branch_stack->hw_idx here will erroneously access the first
8 bytes of the first entry. Furthermore, sample->branch_stack->entries
evaluates to a pointer 8 bytes past the actual start of the entries, causing
the memcpy to read out of bounds at the end of the buffer.

Should this use the perf_sample__branch_entries() macro and check
sample->no_hw_idx instead?

Does this substring check inadvertently match variants like sys_enter_readv
or sys_enter_readlink? 

If these variants are matched but lack a count field, they will trigger an
AttributeError below, whereas other variants like sys_enter_pread64 would
correctly fall through to the unhandled block.

If an event is missing expected fields (such as if the user did not record
trace fields, or if a syscall variant like sys_enter_readv is matched),
should it be added to the self.unhandled tracker instead of silently
returning here? 

Silently dropping these events could result in misleading statistics without
alerting the user.

perf evlist: Add reference count

This patch introduces a reference count for the evlist structure, replacing
evlist__delete with evlist__put. In the Python bindings, the evlist is now
allocated dynamically instead of inline, preparing the way for further
reference counting changes for evsels.

Can this cause a use-after-free and double free? Looking at trace__replay(),
trace->evlist is assigned to session->evlist without taking a reference. At
the end of that function, perf_session__delete() is called, which drops the
reference to session->evlist and frees it. Then cmd_trace() calls
trace__exit(), which executes this evlist__put() on the freed memory.

Does this leak the previously allocated evlist if __init__ is called multiple
times on the same instance? In Python, __init__ can be called repeatedly, and
the previous pointer would be unconditionally overwritten without calling
evlist__put().

Can this trigger free() on an interior pointer and corrupt the heap? In
pyrf_evlist__add(), an evsel embedded inside a Python object is added directly
to the C evlist. When the reference count drops to 0 here, evlist__put() calls
evlist__purge(), which iterates over the entries and calls evsel__delete().
This blindly invokes free() on the embedded pointer.

I see from upstream discussions that this issue is resolved in a later commit
(perf evsel: Add reference count).

Does accessing an evlist item from Python return a detached clone? The new
return path uses pyrf_evsel__from_evsel(), which deep-copies the event via
evsel__clone() instead of returning the opened event. Modifying the returned
event or accessing its file descriptors would operate on this copy.

I note this is addressed in a later patch in the series (perf evsel: Add
reference count).

Are there other areas that need to be updated to reflect this new path?

For example, find_scripts() in tools/perf/ui/browsers/scripts.c appears to
still search in "%s/scripts". Will this cause the UI script browser to fail
to locate the new Python scripts?

Similarly, do the shell tests in tools/perf/tests/shell/script.sh and

use hardcoded paths like "../../scripts/python/parallel-perf.py" and
"../../scripts/python/arm-cs-trace-disasm.py" which seem like they will now
be skipped incorrectly or fail.

Also, does tools/perf/Documentation/db-export.txt need an update? It still
references legacy paths like tools/perf/scripts/python/export-to-sqlite.py.

If the ADD_RC_CHK allocation fails internally, it returns a NULL pointer for
the wrapper. Does this code leak the original evlist allocated via zalloc
since the function will return without freeing it?

Since from_list_start can return a NULL pointer under memory pressure when
REFCNT_CHECKING is enabled, could this lead to a NULL pointer dereference
when evlist__overwrite_mmap subsequently attempts to access the pointer?

Other functions like evlist__get also appear to return NULL on allocation
failure without subsequent checks by callers.

With the new reference count checking, evlist__get creates a new wrapper and
evlist__put frees it via RC_CHK_PUT, even if the underlying shared object
is still active.

If entry->evlist stores the specific wrapper pointer passed to evlist__add,
and that wrapper is later freed while the underlying list remains active,
could accessing entry->evlist elsewhere trigger a use-after-free regression?

TEST_ASSERT_VAL returns TEST_FAIL (-1) if the condition is false. Since
this function returns a boolean, -1 evaluates to true. Does this regression
inadvertently mask the error and cause a failing test to report as passing?

Author: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>

perf: Remove libperl support, legacy Perl scripts and tests

This commit removes embedded Perl interpreter support from perf. All legacy
Perl scripts and related tests, as well as the build rules and scripting
engine hooks, have been stripped from the tree.

Looking at the changes in tools/perf/ui/browsers/scripts.c, the find_scripts
function used to skip the perl directory if HAVE_LIBPERL_SUPPORT was not
defined. By removing this conditional check entirely rather than making it an
unconditional skip, does this allow stale Perl scripts left over from
previous installations to appear in the TUI script browser? If a user
attempts to run one of these leftover scripts, might it result in a
confusing error since the execution engine has been removed?

Regarding the build system updates in tools/perf/Makefile.config, the
configuration block that previously defined PERL_EMBED_CCOPTS was removed.
Are there any leftover references to this variable, such as a dangling
detected_var macro call at the end of the file, that might needlessly
export an undefined variable to the configuration?

perf script: Refactor to support standalone scripts and remove legacy features

This commit refactors the perf script command to support running standalone
scripts directly via fork and execvp. It also removes legacy scripting
features, updating the script search path to look directly in the python
directory.

Does this code overflow path[]?

The third argument to strncat specifies the maximum number of characters to
append from the source string, not the remaining capacity of the destination
buffer. Because path is populated by snprintf right before, if the string
length reaches PATH_MAX - 1, strncat will blindly append 3 characters plus a
null terminator out of bounds, overwriting stack memory.

Is it possible this loop terminates prematurely?

If a comment line is an SPDX identifier, it is stored as a fallback description
and found_description is set to true below. However, at the top of the fgets
loop (right after checking triple_quote_str), this check will cause the loop
to terminate immediately on the next iteration. This entirely defeats the
comment further down that suggests it should keep looking for a better
description: tag.

If "record" and "report" are removed from cmd_script, shouldn't they be
removed from the script_subcommands array as well?

Because "record" and "report" are left in the script_subcommands array,
parse_options_subcommand intercepts these as valid subcommands, leaving
argv[0] as "record". The logic then attempts to find and execute a script
literally named "record", failing with "Couldn't find script 'record'" and
breaking the documented subcommand functionality.

Also, since parse_options_subcommand consumes global options (like -i),
wouldn't the standalone scripts lose these parsed command-line options?
The remaining arguments are passed to the standalone script via execvp,
but the standalone script never receives the -i flag and might fall
back to default files, silently breaking the user's intent to process a
specific input file.

If a user specifies a script without a slash (e.g. myscript.py), find_script
verifies its local existence using access(script, R_OK) and returns the string
unmodified. However, execvp() searches the system $PATH. If . is not in $PATH,
won't execvp either fail with ENOENT or execute a completely different
myscript.py located elsewhere in the system, bypassing the verified local file?

Additionally, if execvp fails to launch a script (e.g. because the script lacks
execute permissions or a valid shebang, which were not required by the previous
embedded interpreter), does it silently fail? The child process seems to
execute exit(-errno) without printing any error message to stderr, leaving
the user with a generic non-zero exit code and no diagnostic information.

Does this code evaluate an uninitialized status variable?

If waitpid is interrupted by a signal (e.g. SIGINT), it returns -1 and sets
errno to EINTR, leaving the stack variable status uninitialized. The code
then immediately evaluates WIFEXITED(status), reading garbage memory. This
undefined behavior can cause perf script to prematurely return an arbitrary
exit code, abandoning the standalone script process in the background.

perf python: Refactor and add accessors to sample event

This commit adds a common field for the evsel of an event, derived from
PERF_SAMPLE_ID or PERF_SAMPLE_IDENTIFIER. It also restricts certain fields
like sample_ip to sample events and introduces new accessors for various
sample event properties.

Could the newly added al and al_resolved fields be left containing
uninitialized memory?

If Python objects are allocated without zero-initializing the memory, these
fields might contain random data. If al_resolved evaluates to true from
garbage memory, pyrf_sample_event__resolve_al() could return immediately,
and subsequent property reads might dereference uninitialized pointers in
pevent->al.map.

Furthermore, if the parsed evsel is not attached to pevent->sample.evsel
during event reads, pyrf_event__delete() might call evsel__put() on garbage
memory, causing a crash.

Does removing sample_time from sample_members break existing Python scripts?
When perf_event_open is called with sample_id_all, non-sample events like
mmap_event and comm_event contain valid timestamps. Removing this property
prevents chronologically sorting streams of heterogeneous events.

What happens if this is accessed on a newly created event where
pevent->sample.evsel is NULL? It appears pyrf_evsel__from_evsel() calls
evsel__get() which immediately increments the refcount, causing a NULL
pointer dereference.

Does this code leak the map and thread references? If machine__resolve() was
previously called and populated pevent->al, it acquires reference counts.
It seems addr_location__exit(&pevent->al) should be called here to prevent
leaking these references upon garbage collection.

Is the tp_dealloc assignment missing here for pyrf_comm_event__type and
pyrf_read_event__type?

The dynamic initialization was removed from pyrf_event__setup_types(), but
tp_dealloc doesn't seem to be statically assigned here. When created from C,
these objects might use the generic Python destructor, bypassing
pyrf_event__delete() and leaking evsel references and internal perf_sample
allocations.

Can this sequence cause a use-after-free of the thread object?

When thread__find_symbol_fb() is called, it passes pevent->al.thread as the
first argument while passing &pevent->al as the location output. Inside
thread__find_map() this can execute thread__zput(al->thread).

Since al aliases &pevent->al, this drops the reference to the thread. If it
was the last reference, the thread object is freed. Immediately after, it
calls thread__get(thread) using the aliased pointer which now points to
freed memory.

Additionally, does this overwrite the cached pevent->al struct, corrupting
subsequent property reads (like .symbol) for the original event IP?

perf python: Add LiveSession helper

This commit introduces the LiveSession class in tools/perf/python/perf_live.py.
It allows running callbacks for live events using perf.evlist and
perf.parse_events, avoiding the need to fork a perf record process or use a
perf.data file.

If self.evlist.mmap() raises an exception, will the file descriptors acquired

Since the try block begins after these calls, an exception in mmap() would
cause the function to exit without reaching the finally clause that calls
self.evlist.close().

Could the try block be expanded to include self.evlist.mmap() to ensure
cleanup occurs on all exit paths?

Can this poll call raise an InterruptedError?

The Python extension wraps the system poll() call. If it is interrupted by a
non-fatal signal like SIGWINCH, it returns -1 with EINTR, which translates
to an InterruptedError in Python.

Since the except block below only catches KeyboardInterrupt, would this cause
the live session to crash on normal signals instead of safely retrying?

Will event.type ever equal perf.RECORD_SAMPLE with this setup?

The LiveSession constructor initializes the event list using
perf.parse_events(), which configures standard events as counting events
(attr.sample_period = 0) by default.

Because self.evlist.config() is never called to enable sampling or set up
PERF_SAMPLE_* fields, it seems the kernel will not generate
PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE events. Could this cause the poll loop to time out
indefinitely instead of invoking the callback?

[PATCH v2 00/58] perf: Reorganize scripting support

[Ian Rogers]

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 (11285 insertions, 15963 deletions - net 4678
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.

** v2 Changes

Focus on addressing Sashiko, leak sanitizer and runtime issues.

*** 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 v2 01/58] perf inject: Fix itrace branch stack synthesis

[Ian Rogers]

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 .

[PATCH v2 05/58] perf script: Sort includes and add missed explicit dependencies

[Ian Rogers]

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 v2 09/58] perf data: Add open flag

[Ian Rogers]

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 v2 10/58] perf evlist: Add reference count

[Ian Rogers]

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.

[PATCH v2 11/58] perf evsel: Add reference count

[Ian Rogers]

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.

Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>
---
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 .

[PATCH v2 12/58] perf evlist: Add reference count checking

[Ian Rogers]

Now the evlist is reference counted, add reference count checking so
that gets and puts are paired and easy to debug. Reference count
checking is documented here:
https://perfwiki.github.io/main/reference-count-checking/

This large patch is adding accessors to evlist functions and switching
to their use. There was some minor renaming as evlist__mmap is now an
accessor to the mmap variable, and the original evlist__mmap is
renamed to evlist__do_mmap.

Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>
---
v2:

1. Fixed Memory Leak in evlist__new : Added free(evlist) in the else
   branch if ADD_RC_CHK fails, preventing a leak of the allocated raw
   structure.

2. Fixed Potential NULL Dereference: Added a NULL check after
   from_list_start(_evlist) in perf_evlist__mmap_cb_get() .

3. Fixed Use-After-Free Risk: In evlist__add() , I changed
   entry->evlist = evlist; to entry->evlist = evlist__get(evlist);
   . This ensures that the evsel holds a valid reference (wrapper) to
   the evlist , preventing it from becoming a dangling pointer if the
   original wrapper is freed.

4. Fixed Test Masking Bug: In test__perf_time__parse_for_ranges() , I
   replaced TEST_ASSERT_VAL with a manual check and return false; to
   avoid boolean evaluation of -1 inadvertently passing the test.

5. Fix reference count checker memory leaks from missed puts and due
   to cyclic evsel to evlist references. A leak still exists in
   __perf_evlist__propagate_maps due to empty CPU maps and not
   deleting the removed evsel.

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.

[PATCH v2 15/58] perf python: Add python session abstraction wrapping perf's session

[Ian Rogers]

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']
['__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']
['__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 .

[PATCH v2 16/58] perf python: Add syscall name/id to convert syscall number and name

[Ian Rogers]

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.

[PATCH v2 17/58] perf python: Refactor and add accessors to sample event

[Ian Rogers]

Add a common field for the evsel of an event. The evsel is derived
from the PERF_SAMPLE_ID or PERF_SAMPLE_IDENTIFIER that are potentially
present in all events.

Move fields, like sample_ip, to only be present in sample events. This
avoids errors like getting the sample ip for an mmap event.

Add new accessors for sample event raw_buf, dso, dso_long_name,
dso_bid, map_start, map_end, map_pgoff, symbol, sym_start, sym_end,
srccode and insn.

Minor tweaks to pyrf_evlist__str and pyrf_evsel__str.

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

1. Fixed Uninitialized Memory: In pyrf_event__new , I initialized
   al_resolved to false and called addr_location__init(&pevent->al) to
   prevent using garbage memory.

2. Restored sample_time : Added sample_time back to sample_members to
   avoid breaking scripts that rely on timestamps for non-sample
   events.

3. Fixed NULL Pointer Dereference: Added a NULL check for
   pevent->sample.evsel in pyrf_event__get_evsel() .

4. Fixed Memory Leak in Destructor: Added a call to
   addr_location__exit(&pevent->al) in pyrf_event__delete() to free
   map and thread references acquired during resolution.

5. Fixed Use-After-Free and Cache Corruption in srccode : Used a local
   addr_location in pyrf_sample_event__srccode() instead of
   overwriting pevent->al in place, avoiding dangling pointer issues
   with the thread reference and preserving the cached info.

6. Fix pyrf_evlist__read_on_cpu so that if an unsupported event type
   causes an exception a NoMemory error isn't thrown on top of this.

[PATCH v2 18/58] perf python: Add callchain support

[Ian Rogers]

Implement pyrf_callchain_node and pyrf_callchain types for lazy
iteration over callchain frames. Add callchain property to
sample_event.

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

1. Eager Callchain Resolution: Moved the callchain resolution from
   deferred iteration to eager processing in
   pyrf_session_tool__sample() .  This avoids risks of reading from
   unmapped memory or following dangling pointers to closed sessions.

2. Cached Callchain: Added a callchain field to struct pyrf_event to
   store the resolved object.

3. Simplified Access: pyrf_sample_event__get_callchain() now just
   returns the cached object if available.

4. Avoided Double Free: Handled lazy cleanups properly.

[PATCH v2 20/58] perf python: Extend API for stat events in python.c

[Ian Rogers]

Add stat information to the session. Add call backs for stat events.

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

1. Avoided Name Collision: Renamed the second "type" field in
   pyrf_stat_round_event__members[] to "stat_round_type" to prevent it
   from hiding the event header's type attribute.

2. Fixed Leak and Exception Handling in Callback: Added proper
   reference count handling for the result of PyObject_CallFunction()
   in pyrf_session_tool__stat() , and added an exception check that
   aborts the loop if the Python callback fails.

3. Fixed Leak in Destructor: Added Py_XDECREF(psession->stat); to
   pyrf_session__delete() to release the stat callback reference.

[PATCH v2 21/58] perf python: Expose brstack in sample event

[Ian Rogers]

Implement pyrf_branch_entry and pyrf_branch_stack for lazy
iteration over branch stack entries.

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

1. Avoided Keyword Collision: Renamed the properties "from" and "to"
   to "from_ip" and "to_ip" in pyrf_branch_entry__getset[] to prevent
   syntax errors in Python.

2. Eager Branch Stack Resolution: Updated pyrf_session_tool__sample()
   to allocate and copy the branch stack entries eagerly when the
   event is processed, instead of deferring it to iteration time. This
   avoids reading from potentially overwritten or unmapped mmap
   buffers.

3. Updated Iterators: Updated pyrf_branch_stack and
   pyrf_branch_stack__next() to use the copied entries rather than
   pointing directly to the sample's buffer.

4. Avoided Reference Leak on Init Failure: Added proper error checking
   for PyModule_AddObject() in the module initialization function,
   decrementing references on failure.

[PATCH v2 22/58] perf python: Add perf.pyi stubs file

[Ian Rogers]

Add Python type stubs for the perf module to improve IDE support and
static analysis.  Includes docstrings for classes, methods, and
constants derived from C source and JSON definitions.

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

1. Added Missing Module Functions: Added parse_metrics and
   pmus. Renamed metrics to parse_metrics to match python.c .

2. Added Constructors: Added __init__ methods for data , evsel , and
   evlist with their appropriate arguments.

3. Removed sample_comm : Removed it from sample_event since it is not
   exported in python.c .

4. Keyword Handling in branch_entry : I used from_ip and to_ip in the
   stubs to match the rename I did in python.c (in turn 145) to avoid
   the Python from keyword conflict.

5. Added Missing Event Classes: Added mmap_event , lost_event ,
   comm_event , task_event , throttle_event , read_event , and
   switch_event .

6. Added Missing evlist Methods: Added get_pollfd and add .

7. Updated Return Types: Changed process_events to return int .

[PATCH v2 23/58] perf python: Add LiveSession helper

[Ian Rogers]

Add LiveSession class in tools/perf/python/perf_live.py to support
live event collection using perf.evlist and perf.parse_events,
avoiding the need to fork a separate perf record process.

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

1. Fixed File Descriptor Leak: I moved self.evlist.mmap() inside the
   try block so that if it raises an exception, the finally block will
   still be executed and call self.evlist.close() , preventing file
   descriptor leaks.

2. Handled InterruptedError in poll() : I wrapped the poll() call in a
   try-except block to catch InterruptedError and continue the
   loop. This prevents the live session from crashing on non-fatal
   signals like SIGWINCH .

3. Added evlist.config() : I added a call to self.evlist.config() in
   the constructor after parse_events() . This applies the default
   record options to the events, enabling sampling and setting up
   PERF_SAMPLE_* fields so that the kernel will actually generate
   PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE events.

4. Enable the evlist and be robust to exceptions from reading unsupported
   events like mmap2.

[PATCH v2 24/58] perf python: Move exported-sql-viewer.py and parallel-perf.py to tools/perf/python/

[Ian Rogers]

These scripts are standalone and not using the `perf script` libpython
support. Move to tools/perf/python in an effort to deprecate the
tools/perf/scripts/python support.

Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>

v2:

1. Updated exported-sql-viewer.py : I updated the comments at the top
   of the script to use the new path
   tools/perf/python/exported-sql-viewer.py in the usage examples.

2. Fixed Test Path in script.sh : I updated the path in
   tools/perf/tests/shell/script.sh to point to the new location of
   parallel-perf.py at ../../python/parallel-perf.py .

[PATCH v2 25/58] perf stat-cpi: Port stat-cpi to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

Port stat-cpi.py from the legacy framework to a standalone script.
Support both file processing mode (using perf.session) and live mode
(reading counters directly via perf.parse_events and evsel.read). Use
argparse for command line options handling. Calculate and display CPI
(Cycles Per Instruction) per interval per CPU/thread.

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

1. Accurate CPI Calculation (Multiplexing Support):
  - Before: The get() method returned the raw counter value directly,
    ignoring whether the counter ran for the full interval.

  - After: The get() method now scales the raw value by the ratio of
    enabled time to running time ( val * (ena / float(run)) ) when run
    > 0 . This handles cases where PMU counters are overcommitted and
    multiplexed.

2. Per-Interval CPI in File Mode:
  - Before: store() saved absolute counter values as read from
    PERF_RECORD_STAT . Since these are cumulative from the start of
    the trace, and data.clear() was called every round, the script
    computed cumulative CPI rather than per-interval CPI.

  - After: store() now computes the delta between the current absolute
    value and the value from the previous interval. It saves this
    delta in self.data and retains the absolute value in self.
    prev_data for the next delta computation.

3. Prevention of Dummy Output (Cartesian Product Fix):
  - Before: self.cpus and self.threads lists accumulated all unique
    CPUs and threads seen independently. The nested loops in
    print_interval() then created a Cartesian product of all seen CPUs
    and threads, querying data for combinations that might never have
    occurred.
  - After: Replaced lists with a self.recorded_pairs set that stores
    (cpu, thread) tuples only when a sample actually records them. The
    output loop now iterates strictly over these verified pairs.

v2:

1. Fallback for Unknown Syscalls: If perf.syscall_name() returns None
   for an unmapped ID, the script now falls back to using the numeric
   ID string. This prevents a TypeError when applying string alignment
   formatting.

2. Fallback for Syscall Number Attribute: The script now checks for
   __syscall_nr first, and if not present (as on some older kernels),
   falls back to checking for nr .

3. Robust Process Resolution: Added a try-except block around
   session.process(sample.pid).comm() . If the process lookup fails
   (returning NULL/None), it falls back to "unknown" instead of
   letting a TypeError crash the script.

4. Support for Custom Input Files: Added a -i / --input command-line
   argument to allow processing arbitrarily named trace files,
   removing the hardcoded "perf.data" restriction.

v2:

1. Removed Unused Variable: Removed id_keys which was assigned but
   never read.

2. Fallback for Unknown Syscalls: If perf.syscall_name() returns None
   for an unmapped ID, it now falls back to the numeric ID string to
   prevent TypeError crashes during string formatting.

3. Fallback for Syscall Number Attribute: It now checks for
   __syscall_nr first, and if missing, falls back to checking for nr .

4. Robust Process Resolution: Added a try-except block around
   session.process(sample.pid).comm() to handle untracked PIDs
   gracefully instead of crashing on a TypeError .

5. Restored PID Filtering: The script now attempts to parse the
   positional argument as an integer to filter by Process ID. If that
   fails, it treats it as a command name (COMM) string to filter by,
   restoring behavior from the original legacy script.

6. Support for Custom Input Files: Added a -i / --input command-line
   argument to support arbitrarily named trace files, removing the
   hardcoded "perf.data" restriction.

v2:

1. Fixed Module Import Failure: Corrected the type annotations from
   [int, int] to Tuple[int, int] .  The previous code would raise a
   TypeError at module import time because lists cannot be used as
   types in dictionary annotations.

2. Prevented Out-Of-Memory Crashes: Replaced the approach of storing
   every single duration in a list with a LockStats class that
   maintains running aggregates (count, total time, min, max). This
   ensures O(1) memory usage per lock/thread pair rather than
   unbounded memory growth.

3. Support for Custom Input Files: Added a -i / --input command-line
   argument to support processing arbitrarily named trace files,
   removing the hardcoded "perf.data" restriction.

4. Robust Process Lookup: Added a check to ensure session is
   initialized before calling session.  process() , preventing
   potential NoneType attribute errors if events are processed during
   initialization.

[PATCH v2 30/58] perf flamegraph: Port flamegraph to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

Add a port of the flamegraph 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.

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

1. Performance Optimization: Changed Node.children from a list to a
   dictionary, reducing the lookup time in find_or_create_node from
   O(N) to O(1) and avoiding performance bottlenecks on wide call
   graphs.

2. Callchain Fallback: Added a fallback to use the sample's top-level
   symbol or instruction pointer if no callchain is present, ensuring
   the script still generates meaningful output rather than just
   process names.

3. Template Downloading Fix: Corrected the logic handling the
   --allow-download flag and custom HTTP URLs. It no longer warns
   about missing local files when a URL is provided, and won't
   silently overwrite custom URLs with the default one.

4. Output Stream Separation: Moved informational warnings to
   sys.stderr to prevent them from corrupting the resulting HTML/JSON
   file when the user streams the output to stdout (e.g., using -o -
   ).

5. XSS Protection: Added basic HTML entity escaping for < , > , and &
   within the embedded JSON data blocks. This mitigates the risk of
   cross-site scripting if trace data contains maliciously formed
   process or symbol names.

[PATCH v2 31/58] perf gecko: Port gecko to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

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

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.

[PATCH v2 32/58] perf arm-cs-trace-disasm: Port arm-cs-trace-disasm to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

[PATCH v2 33/58] perf check-perf-trace: Port check-perf-trace to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

[PATCH v2 34/58] perf compaction-times: Port compaction-times to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

Add a port of the compaction-times 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: Fixed Closure Call: Changed cls.fobj.filter(pid, comm) to
    cls.fobj(pid, comm) . Since fobj is a function (closure) and not a
    class instance, calling .filter() on it would raise an
    AttributeError .

+Report time spent in memory compaction.
+
+Memory compaction is a feature in the Linux kernel that defragments memory
+by moving used pages to create larger contiguous blocks of free memory. This
+is particularly useful for allocating huge pages.
+
+This script processes trace events related to memory compaction and reports:
+- Total time spent in compaction (stall time).
+- Statistics for page migration (moved vs. failed).
+- Statistics for the free scanner (scanned vs. isolated pages).
+- Statistics for the migration scanner (scanned vs. isolated pages).
+
+Definitions:
+- **Compaction**: Defragmenting memory by moving allocated pages.
+- **Migration**: Moving pages from their current location to free pages found by the free scanner.
+- **Free Scanner**: Scans memory (typically from the end of a zone) to find free pages.
+- **Migration Scanner**: Scans memory (typically from the beginning of a zone)
+  to find pages to move.
+- **Isolated Pages**: Pages that have been temporarily removed from the buddy
+  system for migration or as migration targets.
+
+Ported from tools/perf/scripts/python/compaction-times.py to the modern perf Python module.

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.

[PATCH v2 36/58] perf export-to-sqlite: Port export-to-sqlite to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

Ported from tools/perf/scripts/python/export-to-sqlite.py to use the
perf Python module API.

Key changes:
- Switched from PySide2.QtSql to standard library sqlite3 for database
  operations.
- Implemented lazy population of lookup tables (threads, comms, dsos,
  symbols) from sample data.
- Added callchain support for building call paths.

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

1. Restored samples_view : Added the CREATE VIEW IF NOT EXISTS
   samples_view statement to create_tables() , restoring compatibility
   with tools like exported-sql-viewer.py .

2. Fixed Fallbacks: Updated getattr calls for DSO and symbol names to
  use or "Unknown_..."  to handle cases where the C extension returns
  None instead of raising an AttributeError .

3. Event Name Accuracy: Used getattr(sample.evsel, 'name', ...)  to
   get the raw event name instead of str(sample.evsel) which returns
   evsel(name) .

4. Fixed Race Condition: Used os.open with os.O_CREAT | os.O_EXCL to
   securely create the database file and fail if it already exists,
   avoiding a TOCTOU race condition.

5. Fixed Cleanup Order: Ensured the database connection is closed
   before attempting to delete the file on error.

+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 v2 37/58] perf export-to-postgresql: Port export-to-postgresql to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

Ported from tools/perf/scripts/python/export-to-postgresql.py to use
the perf Python module API.

Key changes:
- Removed PySide2 dependency by using libpq via ctypes for all DB
  operations (DDL and COPY).
- Kept the high-performance binary file generation and COPY FROM STDIN
  approach.
- Implemented lazy population of lookup tables from sample data.

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

1. Dynamic Library Loading: Used ctypes.util.find_library("pq") to
   locate the PostgreSQL client library, making it more portable.

2. COPY Cleanup: Added a loop to call PQgetResult() until it returns
   None after PQputCopyEnd() , properly clearing the connection state
   and avoiding "command in progress" errors.

3. SQL Injection / Hyphen Fix: Added double quotes around the database
   name in the CREATE DATABASE query.

4. Fixed struct.pack Error: Added missing length prefixes for fields
  in write_sample to match the format string required by PostgreSQL's
  binary COPY format.

5. Fixed Cache Logic: Added a separate cache for comm_threads to
  ensure associations are written even when threads share a command
  name.

6. Fixed File I/O Order: Moved close_output_file() to happen after
   copy_output_file() .

7. Added Cleanup on Failure: Added logic to clean up the temporary
   directory if an exception occurs during processing, using
   shutil.rmtree .

+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 v2 38/58] perf failed-syscalls-by-pid: Port failed-syscalls-by-pid to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

Ported from tools/perf/scripts/python/failed-syscalls-by-pid.py to use
the perf Python module API.

Key changes:
- Used perf.syscall_name() to resolve syscall names instead of legacy
  Util library.
- Used standard collections.defaultdict for nested statistics
  aggregation.
- Used errno.errorcode for resolving error strings.
- Supported optional filtering by COMM or PID via command line
  arguments.

---
v2: Fixed Syscall Name Fallback: Handled the case where
    perf.syscall_name() returns None , falling back to the string
    representation of the syscall ID to avoid TypeError during string
    formatting.

[PATCH v2 39/58] perf intel-pt-events: Port intel-pt-events/libxed to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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

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 v2 40/58] perf net_dropmonitor: Port net_dropmonitor to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

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

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 v2 41/58] perf netdev-times: Port netdev-times to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

Ported from tools/perf/scripts/python/.
- Refactored the script to use a class structure (NetDevTimesAnalyzer)

- 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).

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 v2 42/58] perf powerpc-hcalls: Port powerpc-hcalls to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

[PATCH v2 43/58] perf sched-migration: Port sched-migration/SchedGui to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

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

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 v2 44/58] perf sctop: Port sctop to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

Port sctop.py from tools/perf/scripts/python/ to tools/perf/python/,
refactoring it to use a class-based structure (SCTopAnalyzer) and the
perf.session API.

Also add support for live mode using the LiveSession helper when no
input file is specified, with a fallback strategy for tracepoint names
(raw_syscalls:sys_enter or syscalls:sys_enter) to support different
systems.

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

 - Fixed Missing Final Batch: Extracted the printing logic into a
   dedicated print_current_totals() method. Updated
   print_syscall_totals() to call this method one last time after the
   stop_event is set, ensuring that events accumulated since the last
   interval are not dropped.
 - Fixed Offline Mode Intervals:
   - Added an offline flag to SCTopAnalyzer to distinguish between
     live and offline modes.
   - In offline mode ( -i option), instead of relying on a wall-clock
     timer in a background thread, process_event() now checks the
     sample timestamp ( sample.time ). It triggers a print when the
     trace time advances by the specified interval.
   - Only starts the background thread when running in live mode.
   - Ensured the final batch is printed in the finally block for
     offline mode.

[PATCH v2 45/58] perf stackcollapse: Port stackcollapse to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

Assisted-by: Gemini:gemini-3.1-pro-preview
Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>
---
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 v2 46/58] perf task-analyzer: Port task-analyzer to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

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 v2 47/58] perf failed-syscalls: Port failed-syscalls to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

[PATCH v2 48/58] perf rw-by-file: Port rw-by-file to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

[PATCH v2 49/58] perf rw-by-pid: Port rw-by-pid to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

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.

[PATCH v2 50/58] perf rwtop: Port rwtop to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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 v2 51/58] perf wakeup-latency: Port wakeup-latency to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

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 v2 52/58] perf test: Migrate Intel PT virtual LBR test to use Python API

[Ian Rogers]

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.

[PATCH v2 53/58] perf: Remove libperl support, legacy Perl scripts and tests

[Ian Rogers]

This commit removes embedded Perl interpreter support from perf, as all
legacy Perl scripts have been ported to Python or are no longer needed.

Changes include:
- Removal of libperl feature detection and flags from Makefile.config.
- Removal of Perl script installation rules from Makefile.perf.
- Removal of build rules for trace-event-perl.o and Perf-Trace-Util.
- Deletion of tools/perf/util/scripting-engines/trace-event-perl.c.
- Removal of Perl scripting operations and setup from
  trace-event-scripting.c.
- Removal of setup_perl_scripting() call from builtin-script.c and
  declaration from trace-event.h.
- Removal of Perl checks in the script browser (scripts.c).
- Removal of libperl from the supported features list in
  builtin-check.c and Documentation/perf-check.txt.
- Removal of make_libperl target from tests/make.
- Deletion of the entire tools/perf/scripts/perl directory containing
  legacy Perl scripts.
- Removal of tools/perf/tests/shell/script_perl.sh test.

v2:

1. In tools/perf/ui/browsers/scripts.c : I added an unconditional skip
   for the "perl" directory in find_scripts() . This ensures that even
   if stale Perl scripts are left over in the installation directory,
   they will not appear in the TUI script browser.

2. In tools/perf/Makefile.config : I removed the dangling $(call
   detected_var,PERL_EMBED_CCOPTS) line at the end of the file, so it
   no longer exports that undefined variable to the configuration.

-Perf-Trace-Util version 0.01
-============================
-
-This module contains utility functions for use with perf script.
-
-Core.pm and Util.pm are pure Perl modules; Core.pm contains routines
-that the core perf support for Perl calls on and should always be
-'used', while Util.pm contains useful but optional utility functions
-that scripts may want to use.  Context.pm contains the Perl->C
-interface that allows scripts to access data in the embedding perf
-executable; scripts wishing to do that should 'use Context.pm'.
-
-The Perl->C perf interface is completely driven by Context.xs.  If you
-want to add new Perl functions that end up accessing C data in the
-perf executable, you add desciptions of the new functions here.
-scripting_context is a pointer to the perf data in the perf executable
-that you want to access - it's passed as the second parameter,
-$context, to all handler functions.
-
-After you do that:
-
-  perl Makefile.PL   # to create a Makefile for the next step
-  make               # to create Context.c
-
-  edit Context.c to add const to the char* file = __FILE__ line in
-  XS(boot_Perf__Trace__Context) to silence a warning/error.
-
-  You can delete the Makefile, object files and anything else that was
-  generated e.g. blib and shared library, etc, except for of course
-  Context.c
-
-  You should then be able to run the normal perf make as usual.
-
-INSTALLATION
-
-Building perf with perf script Perl scripting should install this
-module in the right place.
-
-You should make sure libperl and ExtUtils/Embed.pm are installed first
-e.g. apt-get install libperl-dev or yum install perl-ExtUtils-Embed.
-
-DEPENDENCIES

[PATCH v2 54/58] perf: Remove libpython support and legacy Python scripts

[Ian Rogers]

This commit removes embedded Python interpreter support from perf, as
all legacy Python scripts have been ported to standalone Python
scripts or are no longer needed.

Changes include:
- Removal of libpython detection and flags from Makefile.config.
- Removal of Python script installation rules from Makefile.perf.
- Deletion of tools/perf/util/scripting-engines/trace-event-python.c.
- Removal of Python scripting operations and setup from
  trace-event-scripting.c.
- Removal of setup_python_scripting() call from builtin-script.c and
  declaration from trace-event.h.
- Removal of Python checks in the script browser (scripts.c).
- Removal of libpython from the supported features list in builtin-check.c
  and Documentation/perf-check.txt.
- Deletion of the legacy Python scripts in tools/perf/scripts/python.

-# To use this script you will need to have installed package python-pyside which
-# provides LGPL-licensed Python bindings for Qt.  You will also need the package
-# libqt4-sql-psql for Qt postgresql support.
-#
-# The script assumes postgresql is running on the local machine and that the
-# user has postgresql permissions to create databases. Examples of installing
-# postgresql and adding such a user are:
-#
-# fedora:
-#
-#	$ sudo yum install postgresql postgresql-server qt-postgresql
-#	$ sudo su - postgres -c initdb
-#	$ sudo service postgresql start
-#	$ sudo su - postgres
-#	$ createuser -s <your user id here>    # Older versions may not support -s, in which case answer the prompt below:
-#	Shall the new role be a superuser? (y/n) y
-#	$ sudo yum install python-pyside
-#
-#	Alternately, to use Python3 and/or pyside 2, one of the following:
-#		$ sudo yum install python3-pyside
-#		$ pip install --user PySide2
-#		$ pip3 install --user PySide2
-#
-# ubuntu:
-#
-#	$ sudo apt-get install postgresql
-#	$ sudo su - postgres
-#	$ createuser -s <your user id here>
-#	$ sudo apt-get install python-pyside.qtsql libqt4-sql-psql
-#
-#	Alternately, to use Python3 and/or pyside 2, one of the following:
-#
-#		$ sudo apt-get install python3-pyside.qtsql libqt4-sql-psql
-#		$ sudo apt-get install python-pyside2.qtsql libqt5sql5-psql
-#		$ sudo apt-get install python3-pyside2.qtsql libqt5sql5-psql
-#
-# An example of using this script with Intel PT:
-#
-#	$ perf record -e intel_pt//u ls
-#	$ perf script -s ~/libexec/perf-core/scripts/python/export-to-postgresql.py pt_example branches calls

-# 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'.
-#
-#	calls
-#
-#		'calls' represents function calls and is related to 'samples' by 'call_id' and 'return_id'.
-#		'calls' is only created when the 'calls' option to this script is specified.
-#
-#	call_paths
-#
-#		'call_paths' represents all the call stacks.  Each 'call' has an associated record in 'call_paths'.
-#		'calls_paths' is only created when the 'calls' option to this script is specified.
-#
-#	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:
-#
-#		calls_view
-#		call_paths_view
-#		comm_threads_view
-#		dsos_view
-#		machines_view
-#		samples_view
-#		symbols_view
-#		threads_view
-#
-# More examples of browsing the database with psql:
-#   Note that some of the examples are not the most optimal SQL query.
-#   Note that call information is only available if the script's 'calls' option has been used.
-#
-#	Top 10 function calls (not aggregated by symbol):
-#
-#		SELECT * FROM calls_view ORDER BY elapsed_time DESC LIMIT 10;
-#
-#	Top 10 function calls (aggregated by symbol):
-#
-#		SELECT symbol_id,(SELECT name FROM symbols WHERE id = symbol_id) AS symbol,
-#			SUM(elapsed_time) AS tot_elapsed_time,SUM(branch_count) AS tot_branch_count
-#			FROM calls_view GROUP BY symbol_id ORDER BY tot_elapsed_time DESC LIMIT 10;
-#
-#		Note that the branch count gives a rough estimation of cpu usage, so functions
-#		that took a long time but have a relatively low branch count must have spent time
-#		waiting.
-#
-#	Find symbols by pattern matching on part of the name (e.g. names containing 'alloc'):
-#
-#		SELECT * FROM symbols_view WHERE name LIKE '%alloc%';
-#
-#	Top 10 function calls for a specific symbol (e.g. whose symbol_id is 187):
-#
-#		SELECT * FROM calls_view WHERE symbol_id = 187 ORDER BY elapsed_time DESC LIMIT 10;
-#
-#	Show function calls made by function in the same context (i.e. same call path) (e.g. one with call_path_id 254):
-#
-#		SELECT * FROM calls_view WHERE parent_call_path_id = 254;
-#
-#	Show branches made during a function call (e.g. where call_id is 29357 and return_id is 29370 and tid is 29670)
-#
-#		SELECT * FROM samples_view WHERE id >= 29357 AND id <= 29370 AND tid = 29670 AND event LIKE 'branches%';
-#
-#	Show transactions:
-#
-#		SELECT * FROM samples_view WHERE event = 'transactions';
-#
-#		Note transaction start has 'in_tx' true whereas, transaction end has 'in_tx' false.
-#		Transaction aborts have branch_type_name 'transaction abort'
-#
-#	Show transaction aborts:
-#
-#		SELECT * FROM samples_view WHERE event = 'transactions' AND branch_type_name = 'transaction abort';
-#
-# To print a call stack requires walking the call_paths table.  For example this python script:
-#   #!/usr/bin/python2
-#
-#   import sys
-#   from PySide.QtSql import *
-#

-#           while call_path_id != 0 and call_path_id != 1:
-#                   ret = query.exec_('SELECT * FROM call_paths_view WHERE id = ' + str(call_path_id))
-#                   if not ret:

-# To use this script you will need to have installed package python-pyside which
-# provides LGPL-licensed Python bindings for Qt.  You will also need the package
-# libqt4-sql-sqlite for Qt sqlite3 support.
-#
-# Examples of installing pyside:
-#
-# ubuntu:
-#
-#	$ sudo apt-get install python-pyside.qtsql libqt4-sql-psql
-#
-#	Alternately, to use Python3 and/or pyside 2, one of the following:
-#
-#		$ sudo apt-get install python3-pyside.qtsql libqt4-sql-psql
-#		$ sudo apt-get install python-pyside2.qtsql libqt5sql5-psql
-#		$ sudo apt-get install python3-pyside2.qtsql libqt5sql5-psql
-# fedora:
-#
-#	$ sudo yum install python-pyside
-#
-#	Alternately, to use Python3 and/or pyside 2, one of the following:
-#		$ sudo yum install python3-pyside
-#		$ pip install --user PySide2
-#		$ pip3 install --user PySide2
-#
-# An example of using this script with Intel PT:
-#
-#	$ perf record -e intel_pt//u ls
-#	$ perf script -s ~/libexec/perf-core/scripts/python/export-to-sqlite.py pt_example branches calls
-#	2017-07-31 14:26:07.326913 Creating database...
-#	2017-07-31 14:26:07.538097 Writing records...
-#	2017-07-31 14:26:09.889292 Adding indexes
-#	2017-07-31 14:26:09.958746 Done
-#
-# 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.
-#
-# The database structure is practically the same as created by the script
-# export-to-postgresql.py. Refer to that script for details.  A notable
-# difference is  the 'transaction' column of the 'samples' table which is
-# renamed 'transaction_' in sqlite because 'transaction' is a reserved word.

[PATCH v2 55/58] perf Makefile: Update Python script installation path

[Ian Rogers]

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 v2 56/58] perf script: Refactor to support standalone scripts and remove legacy features

[Ian Rogers]

- 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.

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

-perf-script-python - Process trace data with a Python script

 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.
+This section shows how to create a simple Python script that reads a
+`perf.data` file and prints event information.
 
-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):
+Create a file named `print_events.py` with the following content:

-----
-
-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:
+#!/usr/bin/env python3
+import perf
 
-- 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.
+def process_event(sample):
+    print(f"Event: {sample.evsel} on CPU {sample.sample_cpu} at {sample.sample_time}")
 
-- 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:
+# Open the session with perf.data file
+session = perf.session(perf.data("perf.data"), sample=process_event)
 
+# Process all events
+session.process_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) ]
+Make the script executable:
 ----
-
-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).
-
+$ chmod +x print_events.py
 ----
-# 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:

-----
-
-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

 ----
 
-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:
-
+Or run it directly with Python, ensuring `perf.so` is in your `PYTHONPATH`:
 ----
-  syscalls = autodict()
-
-  try:
-    syscalls[id] += 1
-  except TypeError:
-    syscalls[id] = 1
+$ PYTHONPATH=/path/to/perf/python python3 print_events.py
 ----
 
-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:
-
-----
-# cat kernel-source/tools/perf/scripts/python/bin/syscall-counts-report
-
-#!/bin/bash
-# description: system-wide syscall counts
-perf script -s ~/libexec/perf-core/scripts/python/syscall-counts.py
-----
-
-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:
-
-----
-# ls -al kernel-source/tools/perf/scripts/python
-total 32
-drwxr-xr-x 4 trz trz 4096 2010-01-26 22:30 .
-drwxr-xr-x 4 trz trz 4096 2010-01-26 22:29 ..
-drwxr-xr-x 2 trz trz 4096 2010-01-26 22:29 bin
--rw-r--r-- 1 trz trz 2548 2010-01-26 22:29 check-perf-script.py
-drwxr-xr-x 3 trz trz 4096 2010-01-26 22:49 Perf-Trace-Util
--rw-r--r-- 1 trz trz 1462 2010-01-26 22:30 syscall-counts.py
-----
-
-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:
-
-----
-# 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
-----
-
-You can now perform the record step via 'perf script record':
-
-  # perf script record syscall-counts
-
-and display the output using 'perf script report':
-
-  # 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)`: Turns a syscall number to a string.
+- `syscall_id(name)`: 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.
 
-Currently supported fields:

 DESCRIPTION
 -----------
@@ -23,52 +20,9 @@ There are several variants of perf script:
   'perf script' to see a detailed trace of the workload that was
   recorded.
 
-  You can also run a set of pre-canned scripts that aggregate and
-  summarize the raw trace data in various ways (the list of scripts is
-  available via 'perf script -l').  The following variants allow you to
-  record and run those scripts:
-
-  'perf script record <script> <command>' to record the events required
-  for 'perf script report'.  <script> is the name displayed in the
-  output of 'perf script --list' i.e. the actual script name minus any
-  language extension.  If <command> is not specified, the events are
-  recorded using the -a (system-wide) 'perf record' option.
-
-  'perf script report <script> [args]' to run and display the results
-  of <script>.  <script> is the name displayed in the output of 'perf
-  script --list' i.e. the actual script name minus any language
-  extension.  The perf.data output from a previous run of 'perf script
-  record <script>' is used and should be present for this command to
-  succeed.  [args] refers to the (mainly optional) args expected by
-  the script.
-
-  'perf script <script> <required-script-args> <command>' to both
-  record the events required for <script> and to run the <script>
-  using 'live-mode' i.e. without writing anything to disk.  <script>
-  is the name displayed in the output of 'perf script --list' i.e. the
-  actual script name minus any language extension.  If <command> is
-  not specified, the events are recorded using the -a (system-wide)
-  'perf record' option.  If <script> has any required args, they
-  should be specified before <command>.  This mode doesn't allow for
-  optional script args to be specified; if optional script args are
-  desired, they can be specified using separate 'perf script record'
-  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.
-
-  'perf script <top-script>' to both record the events required for
-  <top-script> and to run the <top-script> using 'live-mode'
-  i.e. without writing anything to disk.  <top-script> is the name
-  displayed in the output of 'perf script --list' i.e. the actual
-  script name minus any language extension; a <top-script> is defined
-  as any script name ending with the string 'top'.
-
-  [<record-options>] can be passed to the record steps of 'perf script
-  record' and 'live-mode' variants; this isn't possible however for
-  <top-script> 'live-mode' or 'perf script report' variants.

perf net_dropmonitor: Port net_dropmonitor to use python module

This commit ports the net_dropmonitor script to use a class structure
and the perf Python module for event processing.

> - Maintained the manual /proc/kallsyms reading and binary search for
>   symbol resolution as in the original script.

Is this description accurate?

The script doesn't appear to contain any logic to open /proc/kallsyms or
perform a binary search, instead relying directly on the symbol attributes
from the perf sample.

Does this read the instruction pointer where the perf sample was taken
instead of the packet drop location?

The core purpose of net_dropmonitor is to track where packets are dropped
by inspecting the location payload field of the skb:kfree_skb tracepoint.

Since the tracepoint resides inside kfree_skb_reason() or kfree_skb(),
will using the sample's instruction pointer attribute all dropped packets
to the tracepoint hook itself rather than the caller that actually dropped
the skb?

Is this exception block reachable?

Since getattr() is provided with default values ("[unknown]" and 0), it
suppresses the AttributeError for missing attributes and directly returns
the default.

perf mem-phys-addr: Port mem-phys-addr to use python module

This commit provides an example of using the perf python session API to
load a perf.data file and resolve physical address samples using
/proc/iomem.

Will this break compatibility on older Python versions? 

Generic built-in collections for type hinting like list[IomemEntry] were
added in Python 3.9. Running this on enterprise distributions that ship with
Python 3.6 to 3.8 might result in an immediate TypeError crash.

[ ... ]

The key parameter for bisect.bisect_right was introduced in Python 3.10. Could
this cause similar compatibility issues on older setups?

> +        if position is None:
> +            continue
> +        iomem_entry = iomem[i][position-1]

Does this handle cases where phys_addr is smaller than the first element
correctly?

bisect.bisect_right always returns an integer, not None. If it returns 0,
position-1 becomes -1, which will wrap around and unintentionally access the
last element in the iomem[i] list.

> +        if  iomem_entry.begin <= phys_addr <= iomem_entry.end:
> +            return iomem_entry

Can this cause console spam and slow down execution?

Since find_memory_type() is called for every sample event, printing to stdout
whenever an address cannot be mapped could flood the console. If there are
millions of unresolved addresses (for example, if addresses aren't recorded
or are missing from an unprivileged user's /proc/iomem), this might completely
bottleneck execution time.

perf netdev-times: Port netdev-times to use python module

This commit ports the netdev-times script to Python 3, refactoring it
to use a class structure and the perf.session module to collect and
process events.

Does the commit message accurately reflect the implementation? The code in
process_event() appears to call handle_single_event() immediately, processing
events on the fly as they are received rather than collecting them for
end-of-run time ordering.

Will kfree_skb events be misreported as skb_copy_datagram_iovec here?
Since handle_kfree_skb() also injects the 'comm' key into the event, the
first condition ('comm' in event) will evaluate to true, preventing the
'handle' in event branch from executing.

Could inserting at the beginning of the list cause a performance bottleneck?
In Python, inserting at index 0 requires shifting all subsequent elements.
With the list bounded to 65,536 elements, this could degrade execution time
when processing many events.

Does this function also need to loop through self.rx_skb_list, similarly
to handle_kfree_skb()? By skipping the receive list, incoming packet events
will never be matched with their consume_skb counterpart, and they will not
be reported properly in print_receive().

What happens if str(sample.evsel) lacks the "evsel(" prefix?
The condition for extracting tracepoint-specific fields would fail.
Since the event name in event_data has the prefix stripped, it would still
be dispatched to handle_irq_handler_entry(), which would then try to access
event['irq'] and result in a KeyError crash.

Is there a chance this manual loop over sys.argv conflicts with argparse?
If a user passes an input file named "tx" via "-i tx" or "--input tx", the
manual loop will see the string "tx" and incorrectly activate parsed_args.tx.

If raw_buf is empty or smaller than the format size (which can happen if
sample.raw_buf falls back to an empty byte string later in the code), won't
this raise an unhandled struct.error and crash the script?

Does Python 3 support the "u" format specifier for integers in f-strings?

It appears that "u" is a valid format code in C-style formatting, but Python
f-strings use "d" for integers. This might raise a ValueError on the first
sample.

Is the "-" character allowed as a string alignment specifier in Python
f-strings?

Applying it to a string format type might raise a ValueError. Would using "<"
for left-alignment work instead?

Are switch events being tracked correctly here?

It looks like self.switch_str is never populated anywhere in the code. Along
with the --all-switch-events argparse flag seemingly not being used, was the

perf python: Move exported-sql-viewer.py and parallel-perf.py to tools/perf/python/

This commit moves exported-sql-viewer.py and parallel-perf.py from the
tools/perf/scripts/python/ directory to tools/perf/python/. It also updates
the test scripts to look for parallel-perf.py in its new location.

Does this cause the test to skip unconditionally in installed environments?

Since this commit moves the scripts to tools/perf/python/ but does not update
the installation rules in tools/perf/Makefile.perf, parallel-perf.py is no
longer installed into perfexec_instdir during make install.

When tests are run from an installed perf environment, the file at this new
relative path does not exist, triggering the skip check above.

I see this regression is resolved later in the series by commit 2d6f42d8d1dd7
and commit 615391f35d543, but could the Makefile update be squashed into this
commit to preserve bisectability?

perf failed-syscalls-by-pid: Port failed-syscalls-by-pid to use python module

This commit ports the failed-syscalls-by-pid script from the legacy Util
library to the perf Python module API. It uses perf.syscall_name() for
resolution and standard dictionaries for aggregation.

Can self.session.process(pid) raise a TypeError here if the thread is not
found?

If a thread is untracked or short-lived, the C extension in
tools/perf/util/python.c:pyrf_session__process() raises a TypeError. Since
there is no try/except block here, this exception will cause the C extension
to return -1 and immediately abort the underlying
perf_session__process_events() loop.

This isn't a bug, but the unhandled dictionary is populated here and never
used or printed in the print_summary() method.

Does this sort the output incorrectly compared to the original script?

The original script sorted the error counts for a given syscall in descending
order by frequency. This sorts only by the dictionary keys, ignoring the
actual error counts stored in the values.

Will this print the syscall name header redundantly for every distinct error
code?

The loop tracks current_comm_pid to avoid redundant process headers, but it
doesn't track the current syscall_id. If a single syscall returns multiple
different error codes, the syscall name header will be printed for each one.

If session.process(tid) throws an exception, the script catches it and returns
early. Does this cause the event to be dropped since start_times[tid] is not
recorded?

Also, if session.process(tid) returns None or throws an exception,
process_names[tid] isn't populated with a fallback value. Since the thread
remains missing from process_names, won't this force the script to repeat the
expensive lookup for every subsequent event from this thread, hurting
performance?

perf syscall-counts-by-pid: Port syscall-counts-by-pid to use python module

This commit rewrites tools/perf/scripts/python/syscall-counts-by-pid.py to use

> +    sorted_keys = sorted(syscalls.keys(), key=lambda k: (k[0], k[1], k[2]))

Does this sort order match the original script's behavior?

The commit message example shows the output sorted by syscall count descending:

    perf [3886080]
      write                                      538989
      ioctl                                          32
      sched_setaffinity                              17

But the code here sorts by comm (k[0]), pid (k[1]), and then syscall ID
sc_id (k[2]) ascending.

Should this be sorting by the syscall count descending instead, so that the most
frequent syscalls appear at the top?

perf flamegraph: Port flamegraph to use python module

Add a port of the flamegraph 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.

Can this type annotation cause issues on older Python versions? On Python
versions prior to 3.9, the built-in list is not subscriptable, which causes a
TypeError at module import time.

Is the event name comparison correct? Since str(sample.evsel) typically
formats as evsel(name) via the Python C extension, wouldn't comparing it
directly to the event name string (like cycles) always fail and discard
all samples?

Does this correctly handle missing symbols?

If sample has a symbol attribute but its value is None (which
pyrf_sample_event__get_symbol returns for unresolved symbols), getattr will
return None rather than [unknown]. This would result in null in the JSON
output.

If there's a checksum mismatch, this prints the entire downloaded HTML string

Does this flood the terminal with thousands of lines, making the prompt hard

Do event names like raw_syscalls:sys_enter_read exist? The raw_syscalls
subsystem typically provides generic tracepoints like raw_syscalls:sys_enter
rather than per-syscall tracepoints.

Does this classify a return value of 0 as an error? A return value of 0 from
read operations indicates end-of-file.

Also, if tracing starts while a process is already inside a read syscall, is
the comm field left empty since it is only populated during the sys_enter_read
event?

Does this record the requested write size instead of the actual bytes written?

Since successful writes where ret > 0 are ignored here, does this miss
recording the actual bytes written during the sys_exit_write event?

Does using sample_pid cause state collisions for multi-threaded
applications?

Since sample_pid maps to the process ID (TGID) in perf tools, concurrent
hypercalls from different threads in the same process would share the same
sample_pid. This could cause threads to overwrite each other's entry
records in the d_enter dictionary, leading to unmatched exits and incorrect
duration calculations.

Would it be safer to use sample_tid or sample_cpu (as the legacy script did
with common_cpu) to prevent these collisions?

> +        time = sample.time

Will accessing sample.time raise an AttributeError on the first event?

Looking at the perf Python C extension, the timestamp field for a
sample_event is explicitly exposed to Python as sample_time rather than
time. Since the tracepoint does not have a dynamic field named time, the
script might crash when attempting to read it.

commit 51a807dd8fd1bd35b3c7aa76d6a4147ba7d86cc5
Author: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>
Subject: perf export-to-sqlite: Port export-to-sqlite to use python module

This commit ports the export-to-sqlite.py script to use the perf Python
module API and the standard library sqlite3 module. It implements lazy
population of lookup tables and adds callchain support.

Is it intentional that the cache key for comms only uses the command string,
ignoring the thread_id?

If multiple threads share the same command name, the second thread will hit
the cache and receive the first thread's comm_id. This prevents insertion
into the comm_threads table for the second thread, dropping the association.

Does caching only by short_name cause aliasing if distinct shared objects
share the same short name?

If two distinct objects share a short name (e.g., libc.so.6), the first DSO
encountered will dictate the long_name and build_id for all subsequent
queries. Should the cache key include long_name or build_id to differentiate
them?

Will this cache key lead to missing symbol boundaries?

When processing callchains below, this is called with start and end as 0. If
the same symbol is later encountered as a primary sample target with real
boundaries, the cache hit will prevent the real boundaries from being stored.

Does this loop construct the call tree inverted?

The perf Python module yields callchain frames from the innermost frame
(current instruction) outward. Because parent_id is assigned sequentially, the
innermost frame becomes the root, and the outermost frame becomes a deep leaf.

Does this drop branch tracking information needed for Intel PT analysis?

The branch destination columns and branch_type are hardcoded to 0 instead of
extracting the data from sample.brstack.

Will these getattr calls silently return 0 and cause data loss for the sample
metrics?

The perf Python module exposes the metrics as sample_data_src,
sample_insn_cnt, and sample_cyc_cnt, rather than data_src, insn_count, and
cyc_count. Additionally, transaction_, in_tx, and flags do not appear to be
exposed by the Python API at all.

Can an attacker exploit a time-of-check to time-of-use race here if the
database is created in a shared directory like /tmp?

The script securely creates the file with O_CREAT | O_EXCL to prevent
overwriting existing files, but immediately closes the file descriptor.

DatabaseExporter then calls sqlite3.connect(), which resolves the path again
by name. Between the close and the connect, the file could be deleted and
replaced with a symlink to a sensitive file, defeating the O_EXCL protection.

perf stackcollapse: Port stackcollapse to use python module

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

When a thread cannot be found in the perf session (due to dropped events
or late starting), the C implementation pyrf_session__process() raises a
TypeError.

Since there is no try...except block around this call, will this unhandled
exception abort the session.process_events() loop and crash the script?

Other ported scripts like syscall-counts.py wrap this in a check for
TypeError and AttributeError to handle missing threads safely.

Additionally, does passing sample.sample_pid to session.process() cause
multi-threaded applications to lose their thread-specific comm breakdown?

In Linux perf, sample_pid is the process ID (TGID). Passing it forces the
lookup to return the process's main thread.

Sub-threads will have their call stacks collapsed under the main process
comm instead of their actual thread names.

In live mode, evsel.read() relies on the C extension function which already
computes and returns the count delta since the last read.

Does subtracting the previous interval's values again here calculate the
acceleration of the counts instead of the velocity, producing incorrect
metrics?

perf.parse_events() generates an evlist with default attributes, which do
not include perf.FORMAT_TOTAL_TIME_ENABLED and perf.FORMAT_TOTAL_TIME_RUNNING
flags.

If these flags are not added to evsel.read_format before calling
evlist.open(), will the kernel omit timing data and leave the ena and run
fields at 0?

Since the script relies on run > 0 to apply scaling:

    def get(self, event: str, cpu: int, thread: int) -> float:
        ...
        if run > 0:
            return val * (ena / float(run))

Could this bypass scaling logic and produce incorrect CPI calculations if
hardware PMU counters are overcommitted?

Will this type hint cause a runtime crash on older Python versions?

Using subscripted standard collections like collections.defaultdict[str, int]
was introduced in PEP 585 for Python 3.9. Without a future import, Python
3.8 and earlier will evaluate this at runtime and raise a TypeError.

Does hardcoding the tracepoint string resolution here bypass the original
intent of the test?

The original script delegated trace field resolution to the perf scripting
engine to verify its correctness, but using a hardcoded dictionary drops
that test coverage for the Python scripting API.

Does using sample.sample_pid instead of sample.sample_tid cause incorrect
thread reporting?

In the perf subsystem, the pid field corresponds to the process group leader
(TGID) while the tid field corresponds to the actual thread ID, which might
output the group leader's name instead of the specific thread generating
the event.

Also, can session.process() raise an unhandled TypeError here?

When machine__find_thread() cannot find the thread (which is common in
truncated traces), the C extension raises a TypeError. Without a try-except
block, this could crash the script.

Since the property returns the same object and advances pstack->pos during
iteration without resetting it, does this mean the iterator gets permanently
exhausted after one use?

Would it be better for the property to return a new iterator object or
implement sequence semantics?

Does this create a strong reference cycle where pstack->pevent holds a
reference to pevent, and pevent->brstack holds a reference to pstack?

Since neither pyrf_event__type nor pyrf_branch_stack__type implements
Python's Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_GC and tp_traverse or tp_clear protocols, can the
Python cyclic garbage collector detect or break this cycle?

When the Python user script discards the event, wouldn't pevent's reference
count remain at 1, preventing pyrf_event__delete from executing and
leaking pevent, pstack, and pstack->entries for every event containing a
branch stack?

Since pstack->entries eagerly deep-copies the branch stack data, is it
necessary for pstack to hold a reference to pevent to remain valid?

perf failed-syscalls: Port failed-syscalls to use python module

This commit ports the legacy Perl failed-syscalls script to Python. It uses
the perf.session API to filter for sys_exit events, track failed syscalls,
and aggregate the counts per command name.

This isn't a bug, but self.unhandled is populated during event processing but
never printed or accessed later. Is this dictionary intended to be included
in print_totals()?

Does this incorrectly drop raw_syscalls:sys_exit events? The string
representation of the generic tracepoint is evsel(raw_syscalls:sys_exit)
which does not have a trailing underscore. Because of this, the startswith
check evaluates to false and triggers the early return.

perf export-to-postgresql: Port export-to-postgresql to use python module

This commit ports the export-to-postgresql script to use the perf Python
module API and libpq via ctypes, removing the PySide2 dependency. It keeps
the high performance binary file generation but implements lazy population
of lookup tables.

Does this loop silently mask PostgreSQL server-side insertion failures?

If a COPY command fails on the server due to type mismatches or constraint
violations, PQresultStatus(res) would contain an error. Since the result
status is not checked before clearing, the script could leave the tables
empty while reporting a successful export.

Does this use comm_id as the primary key for the comm_threads table?

If multiple threads share the same comm string, get_comm_id will pass the
same comm_id as the comm_thread_id parameter to write_comm_thread(). This
would result in multiple rows with identical IDs, causing a duplicate key
constraint violation when finalize() adds the primary key.

Could this cause a PostgreSQL COPY protocol violation resulting in data loss?

copy_output_file() reads the file up to EOF and streams it to the server.
However, close_output_file() appends the mandatory binary format trailer
(\377\377) to the file.

Since the trailer is written after the file has already been streamed, the
server will never receive it, which causes it to abort the COPY operation
and discard the inserted data.

If setup_db() raises an exception, will it leak the temporary data directory?

setup_db() creates the directory, but because it is called before the
try...finally block, an early failure (such as a database connection error)
will bypass the cleanup logic in the finally block and leave the directory
on the filesystem.

perf python: Add callchain support

This commit implements pyrf_callchain_node and pyrf_callchain types for lazy
iteration over callchain frames. It also adds a callchain property to
sample_event to expose this information to Python scripts.

Is this deferred resolution block reachable?

It appears that pchain->resolved is unconditionally set to true when the
callchain is eagerly resolved in pyrf_session_tool__sample(). Since the
pyrf_callchain__type does not define a tp_new function to be instantiated
directly from Python, it seems this condition will never be met, making this
dead code.

Does this create an unbreakable reference cycle?

pchain takes a strong reference to pevent here, and shortly below,
pevent takes ownership of pchain via pevent->callchain = (PyObject *)pchain.

Since neither pyrf_event__type nor pyrf_callchain__type implements the
Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_GC flag and the required tp_traverse/tp_clear callbacks,
the Python garbage collector won't be able to break this circular reference.
Will this cause both objects, the frames buffer, and the map references to
leak for every sample event with a callchain?

What happens when resolving a callchain with 0 frames?

If cursor->nr is 0, we pass 0 to calloc(), which is implementation-defined.
If libc returns NULL (like musl), the subsequent if (pchain->frames) check
will fail, discarding pchain and leaving event.callchain as None.
If libc returns a valid pointer (like glibc), the check passes and
event.callchain becomes an empty iterator.

Could we skip the allocation or handle the 0-frame case explicitly to avoid
inconsistent API behavior across different libc implementations?

perf evlist: Add reference count

This commit introduces a reference count to the evlist structure. The
reference count is initialized to 1 at allocation and decremented in the new
evlist__put() function, which performs the deletion when the count reaches 0.
This change prepares for future modifications to the Python bindings.

Does calling evlist__put() here introduce a regression where evlist__purge()
will eventually attempt to call free() on an evsel that is embedded inside a
pyrf_evsel object allocated by Python's memory allocator? 

The commit message mentions changes being broken apart, but could this
intermediate state break git bisectability by causing heap corruption during
teardown?

Does returning pyrf_evsel__from_evsel() here result in a disconnected clone
rather than the original wrapper?

If so, could this cause any modifications made to the returned object from
Python scripts to only affect the clone, leaving the actual evsel in the
list unchanged?

The offset for the stat_round_type attribute is manually specified as
offsetof(struct perf_record_stat_round, type).

Does this need to include the base offset of the event union within the
struct pyrf_event wrapper object?

Without the base offset, this evaluates to 8 bytes, which on 64-bit systems
points directly to the ob_type pointer within the PyObject_HEAD struct.

Could reading or writing this attribute from a Python script inadvertently
manipulate the object's type pointer?

This invokes the user-provided Python stat callback with a single argument,
but pyrf_session_tool__stat() invokes the same callback with two arguments
("Os", pyevent, name).

Will this mismatched signature cause a TypeError when a typical Python
callback expecting two arguments is called from here?

Additionally, is it safe to ignore the return value of
PyObject_CallFunction()?

If the call succeeds, it looks like the returned Python object reference
might leak. If it fails, the code doesn't check for NULL or call
PyErr_Print(), which might leave an active exception uncleared on the
Python thread state.

Do these arguments match the C API? The C extension accepts over 20 keyword
arguments (including inherit_stat, enable_on_exec, watermark, etc.), which
are omitted here. Additionally, the idx argument doesn't appear to be
supported by the C code.

Does the C extension export addr here? It appears to export a start

Additionally, event classes exported by the C extension (except sample_event)

perf sctop: Port sctop to use python module

This commit ports sctop.py from tools/perf/scripts/python/ to
tools/perf/python/, refactoring it into a class-based structure. It also adds
support for live mode using LiveSession when no input file is specified.

Are we sure the sample object has a comm attribute in live mode?

Since perf.sample_event objects do not natively possess a comm attribute,
it looks like this will always evaluate to Unknown. If a user specifies a
process to filter via the command line, the filter condition will always drop
the events because Unknown won't match the requested process name.

Does the C extension export the timestamp field as time, or is it sample_time?

If the attribute is actually sample_time, hasattr(sample, "time") will always
be false, preventing offline periodic updates from being printed.

Additionally, this timer update block is placed after the early returns for
unmatched events.

If the monitored process goes idle while other processes continue generating
events, will the offline timer freeze and prevent steady periodic updates?

This isn't a bug, but since the script was ported to a standalone executable
using argparse, this usage message seems outdated and contradicts the new

perf gecko: Port gecko to use python module

This patch adds a port of the gecko script that uses the perf python
module directly. This approach is intended to be significantly faster
than using perf script callbacks by avoiding the creation of
intermediate dictionaries for all event fields.

While this behavior might be inherited from the original script being ported,
SimpleHTTPRequestHandler serves the entire current working directory by
default. 

Since the server binds to 127.0.0.1 and stays open until interrupted, could
this cause a regression where any unprivileged local user can connect to the
port and read arbitrary files from the directory where the script was run?

Does str(sample.evsel) return the event name wrapped in "evsel(...)"?

Looking at the pyrf_evsel string representation in tools/perf/util/python.c,
it seems to use PyUnicode_FromFormat("evsel(%s)", evsel__name(evsel)).

If a user runs the script with "-e cycles", event_name would be "cycles".
Would the comparison "evsel(cycles)" != "cycles" always be true, causing a
regression where all events are silently filtered out?

While this issue might not be new to the port, writing to a predictable,
hardcoded filename like gecko_profile.json could be vulnerable to symlink
attacks if the script is run in a shared or world-writable directory.

Would this regression allow an attacker to pre-create a symbolic link with
this name pointing to a system file, causing it to be overwritten?

Would it be safer to use the tempfile module or os.open with O_CREAT and
O_EXCL flags to securely create the file?

If the thread for a given pid is not found in the machine's thread map,
session.process(pid) raises a TypeError from the underlying C extension.

Because this call is not wrapped in a try-except block, will this crash the
script when it processes an event from a pre-existing process that is
missing a comm event?

Could this be wrapped to catch the exception and fall back to [unknown],
similar to how the original script safely utilized the comm value directly
from the trace event?

    perf evsel: Add reference count
    
    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.

Is it possible that non-sample events will leak the underlying evsel
reference?

The patch adds evsel__put() to pyrf_sample_event__delete(), but other
event types like pyrf_mmap_event__type or pyrf_task_event__type rely on
the default Python object destructor.

Since pyrf_evlist__read_on_cpu() acquires an evsel reference for all event
types, does this mean non-sample events will permanently leak the reference
when they are garbage collected?

Does this protection fully prevent dereferences of uninitialized evsel
objects?

Since this only implements tp_getattro and not tp_setattro, could property
setters bypass this and directly call C setter functions like
pyrf_evsel__set_tracking() which then dereference pevsel->evsel?

Also, could calling methods directly on the class (e.g., perf.evsel.open(e))
bypass tp_getattro and lead to a NULL dereference?

Since evsel is now dynamically allocated and reference-counted independently,
does this Py_INCREF() cause the Python wrapper object to be leaked?

Before this change, evlist held a pointer to the embedded evsel struct inside
the Python object, making Py_INCREF necessary. Now that evlist__add() takes
its own reference to the standalone C struct via evsel__get(evsel) and never
calls Py_DECREF, shouldn't this Py_INCREF(pevsel) be removed?

> -	evsel = &((struct pyrf_evsel *)pevsel)->evsel;

Does this cast introduce an arbitrary memory write if a different Python
object is passed?

In this function, the user argument is parsed using
PyArg_ParseTuple(args, "O", &pevsel) which accepts any Python object without
type validation.

If a different type (like a bytes object) is passed, this unconditionally
casts it to struct pyrf_evsel *. Now that evsel is a pointer instead of an
embedded struct, the code will read the pointer from the attacker-controlled
object's memory and later execute:

	evsel->core.idx = evlist->core.nr_entries;
	evlist__add(evlist, evsel__get(evsel));

Could this result in an arbitrary memory write and atomic increment?

Additionally, does this directly access ((struct pyrf_evsel *)pevsel)->evsel
without validating it, potentially bypassing the pyrf_evsel__getattro() check
above and causing a NULL dereference on uninitialized perf.evsel objects?

Is it necessary to restrict these methods behind HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT?

The underlying syscalltbl API has no dependency on libtraceevent, as it only
uses generated string arrays.

If perf is compiled without libtraceevent, perf.syscall_name will be omitted
from the module. When scripts like syscall-counts.py are later ported to
unconditionally call perf.syscall_name(), they will crash with an
AttributeError.

Will hardcoding EM_HOST restrict the ability to perform cross-architecture
trace analysis?

Because EM_HOST is hardcoded and the API accepts no optional architecture
argument, scripts are prevented from correctly parsing cross-architecture
traces.

For example, analyzing an ARM64 trace on an x86_64 host will silently
map syscall numbers to the host's syscall table, leading to incorrect
output.

Could this introduce a regression where the provided fd is leaked? 

If fd is provided but path is not, path defaults to "perf.data" earlier in
this function. When perf_data__open() is called, it relies on check_pipe()
which only recognizes a pipe if the path is exactly "-".

Will this cause perf_data__open() to assume it is a regular file, open
"perf.data" from disk, and overwrite pdata->data.file.fd instead of using the
one provided?

Additionally, is there a potential regression here regarding the Python GIL?
Since perf_data__open() can perform a blocking open() on the provided path,
could this block indefinitely without releasing the Python Global Interpreter
Lock if the path points to a FIFO or special device?

Does this cleanup path introduce a regression when handling standard input?

If path was set to "-", perf_data__open() sets the fd to STDIN_FILENO. When
the python object is garbage collected, does perf_data__close()
unconditionally close STDIN_FILENO and disrupt the Python process's file
descriptor table?

perf rwtop: Port rwtop to use python module

This commit ports the legacy Perl script rwtop.pl to a python script using
the perf module. It uses a class-based architecture to periodically display
system-wide r/w call activity broken down by PID.

> - Used ANSI escape codes (\x1b[H\x1b[2J) to clear the terminal.

The commit message mentions using ANSI escape codes to clear the terminal,
but looking at the print_totals() function in the diff, these escape
sequences don't appear to be used. This means the script will continuously
scroll its output instead of refreshing in place.

Are 0-byte completions (EOF) for read() incorrectly classified as errors here?

If a system call returns 0, the code falls into the else block and increments
errors[0]. A return value of 0 for read() signifies End-Of-File (EOF), which
is a normal successful condition, not a system call failure.

Does this have the same issue with classifying 0-byte completions for
write() as errors instead of a successful EOF condition?

Does this create a reference cycle that leaks the session and file
descriptor?

By passing self.process_event to perf.session and storing the session in
self.session, a cycle is formed. The perf.session C extension type lacks
garbage collection support, so Python's cyclic GC cannot break it. This
could lead to a resource leak if the class is used programmatically to
process multiple files in the same process.

Are these fallback tracepoints valid?

The raw_syscalls subsystem only exports generic sys_enter and sys_exit
tracepoints. Per-syscall tracepoints like raw_syscalls:sys_enter_read do
not exist, meaning this fallback will invariably raise an OSError and
terminate the script.

Should the unhandled events tally be printed here as well?

When processing an offline file, the run() method prints the contents of the
unhandled dictionary. Omitting this in the KeyboardInterrupt handler creates
an inconsistency where dropped or malformed events aren't shown when
terminating live mode.

perf test: Migrate Intel PT virtual LBR test to use Python API

This commit migrates the Intel PT virtual LBR test to use the newly added
brstack iterator API in the perf Python module, replacing an ad-hoc Python
script that parsed branch stacks.

Does hardcoding the python path to the source tree break out-of-tree builds?

In out-of-tree builds using O=..., the compiled perf.so extension is
generated in the build directory, not the source tree. This would cause
the import to fail with a ModuleNotFoundError.

Will removing the perf version build-options check for python scripting
cause false test failures on systems built without the perf Python extension?

The setup_python.sh script only verifies if a Python executable exists on the
host, not if perf was built with Python support.

If the perf Python extension is missing, perf_brstack_max.py will crash with
a ModuleNotFoundError. Because test_virtual_lbr is invoked within an OR-list,
POSIX shell rules disable set -e, effectively ignoring the script's crash.
The test evaluates the empty output as times_val=0 and fails instead of
gracefully skipping.

perf rw-by-file: Port rw-by-file to use python module

This commit ports the legacy Perl script rw-by-file.pl to a python script
using the perf module in tools/perf/python. It uses the perf.session API
to track read and write activity by file descriptor for a given program.

Will this raise an AttributeError and crash the script on the first event?

The Python perf.evsel object implemented in the C extension
(tools/perf/util/python.c) does not appear to expose a .name attribute.

Since this access occurs before the try/except AttributeError blocks below,
it seems this will bypass the exception handler entirely and halt execution.

Do these raw_syscalls variants actually exist in the kernel?

The kernel's raw syscall tracepoints are generic (like raw_syscalls:sys_enter)
and do not have per-syscall variants.

Even if generic raw syscall tracepoints were used, wouldn't they carry an
args array rather than distinct named fields like fd and count? Attempting
to extract these fields from raw tracepoints later in this block would
likely result in missing attributes.

perf task-analyzer: Port task-analyzer to use python module

Does truncating the task history to 1000 items destroy the statistical accuracy
for tasks executed more than 1000 times? To compute summary statistics across
an entire trace, the analyzer needs to retain the full runtimes list.

If the --time-limit argument is provided without a colon, will split(":")

Is self.session ever assigned? It looks like _run_file() and _run_live()
instantiate session as a local variable.

If self.session were assigned, would self.session.process(prev_pid).pid crash
with an AttributeError? The C extension perf.thread only exposes a .comm()
method, not .pid.

Also, can session.process() raise a TypeError if a thread is not found in the
perf session (e.g. the idle task)?

Were the statistical calculations intentionally dropped here?

The original script computed Accumulated runtime, Mean, Median, Min, and Max.
The shell tests currently pass because they only grep for the word 'Summary'
instead of verifying the table contents.

perf arm-cs-trace-disasm: Port arm-cs-trace-disasm to use python module
    
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.

Since dso_name can originate from untrusted mmap events in the perf.data
file, could this allow path traversal (e.g., "../../tmp/fifo")?

Calling objdump on a FIFO without O_NONBLOCK could cause it to hang
indefinitely, violating subsystem guidelines on safe file I/O for untrusted
paths.

If a malicious perf.data file crafts consecutive samples with massive address
gaps, wouldn't this cause subprocess.check_output() to read gigantic amounts
of objdump output directly into memory, leading to severe memory and CPU
exhaustion?

Also, what happens if objdump fails to parse an invalid DSO file or outputs
non-UTF-8 bytes? Could the lack of error handling around check_output() lead
to abrupt crashes with subprocess.CalledProcessError or UnicodeDecodeError?

If sys.exit(0) is called here, it raises a SystemExit exception in Python.

Since this is a callback invoked from the C extension
(pyrf_session_tool__sample), would the C code catch this exception, clear
it via PyErr_Print(), and return -1?

This could cause the main event loop perf_session__process_events() to
abort and return an error instead of cleanly terminating.

Doesn't str(sample.evsel) return a formatted string like
'evsel(instructions)', rather than the raw event name?

If so, these startswith() checks will always evaluate to False, causing the
script to silently ignore all events and produce no disassembly output.

Could an attacker-controlled perf.data file supply millions of events, each
with a unique sample_cpu identifier? Since this dictionary grows unboundedly,
could this consume all available memory and cause an Out-of-Memory crash?

If this is run during 'perf test' from the source tree before installation,
would the script fail with a ModuleNotFoundError?

Since PYTHONPATH is not configured here, and the perf.so module resides in
python_ext_build/lib/ in a source tree build, the 'import perf' statement
could crash. Combined with 'set -e' in the shell test, this could lead to a
spurious test suite failure.

Does this sequence leak file descriptors and mapped memory if an asynchronous
signal like KeyboardInterrupt is delivered between open() and the try block?

If the signal occurs immediately after open() successfully returns but
before execution enters the try block, the exception will bypass the
finally block.

Could this prevent explicit cleanup via self.evlist.close()?

Does this code leave events in the ring buffer?

The live event collection loop calls read_on_cpu() exactly once per
CPU and then immediately re-enters the poll() system call.

Lockless ring buffers usually require the consumer to fully drain all
pending events to maintain synchronization with the kernel producer. If a
burst of events occurs, reading them one by one will invoke a poll
context switch for every single event.

Could this massive processing overhead cause the userspace consumer to
fall drastically behind the kernel, causing the ring buffer to overflow
and result in dropped events?

Could this exception block cause an infinite loop and CPU lockup if an
unsupported event type is encountered?

If read_on_cpu() encounters an unsupported event type (such as 
PERF_RECORD_MMAP2), the underlying C extension might raise a TypeError
and return early. This early return would skip the perf_mmap__consume() 
call, meaning the kernel's ring buffer data_tail pointer is not advanced.

The Python script would then catch the exception, ignore it, and loop
back to poll(). Since the buffer still contains the unconsumed event,
poll() returns instantly, leading to a tight loop.

Additionally, does this mask user errors in the callback?

If the caller-provided sample_callback contains logical errors or raises
standard library exceptions, this block will silently swallow them. Users
will see no output and no stack trace, making it difficult to debug
malfunctioning callbacks.

Since the commit message mentions a move to standalone scripts, will
installing these python files with non-executable permissions (-m 644)
prevent them from being run?

If scripts are transitioned to be executed directly via execvp(), it looks
like they will fail with a permission denied error because they lack execute
permissions.

This isn't a bug in the modified file, but does changing the installation
directory to no longer use 'scripts/' break script discovery in the TUI
script browser?

Looking at tools/perf/ui/browsers/scripts.c:find_scripts():

	{
		char scripts_path[PATH_MAX];

		snprintf(scripts_path, sizeof(scripts_path), "%s/scripts", exec_path);
		scripts_dir_fd = open(scripts_path, O_DIRECTORY);
		pr_err("Failed to open directory '%s'", scripts_path);

Will the interactive TUI script browser fail to locate or execute any
installed python scripts because it still hardcodes the old lookup path?

By removing NO_LIBPYTHON=1 from make_no_scripts without replacing it with
the new NO_PYTHON_MODULE=1 flag, does this target fail to disable Python
module support?

It seems make_no_scripts now evaluates to an empty configuration rather than
a script-less build test.

Is this new cyclic reference detection thread-safe?

It appears to perform a non-atomic two-step check. If refcount_dec_and_test()
returns false, it proceeds to read the decremented refcount and iterate over
the entries without holding any locks.

If two threads drop their external references concurrently, could both threads
compute count == 0 and concurrently fall through to the out_delete path? This
would lead to list corruption and a double free.

Can this order of operations trigger a use-after-free?

Because evlist__put() is called before perf_evlist__remove(), the evsel
is still linked in the list. When evlist__put() iterates over the list to
detect cyclic references, it might count this evsel as an internal reference.

This could artificially reduce the external reference count to 0 and
prematurely free the evlist. Immediately after evlist__put() returns,
perf_evlist__remove() is called, which would dereference the freshly freed
evlist pointer.

Should we verify if evlist is NULL before using it?

When REFCNT_CHECKING is enabled, from_list_start() allocates memory for a
new wrapper and can return NULL on failure. In this case, passing evlist to
auxtrace_mmap_params__set_idx() will dereference it, which might cause a
segmentation fault.

Is it possible that we are leaking an evsel reference here?

The code acquires a reference with evsel__get(), but then sample->evsel is
overwritten with saved_evsel without a corresponding call to evsel__put().

Since Perf processes millions of events, could this leak a reference for every
processed sample?

There are similar additions of evsel__get() without evsel__put() in
session__flush_deferred_samples() and machines__deliver_event() in this file.

perf inject: Fix itrace branch stack synthesis

When using "perf inject --itrace=L" to synthesize branch stacks from AUX
data, several issues caused failures. This commit fixes them by adjusting
how sample_type and branch_sample_type are handled in synthesis, record
layout, and early injection processing.

If --itrace=l is passed, last_branch is true but add_last_branch is false.

Will the code enter the first if branch but skip the add_last_branch block,
meaning evsel->core.attr.sample_type is not modified and still contains
PERF_SAMPLE_AUX?

Since it took the first if branch, it bypasses the else if fallback block
that calls perf_inject__cut_auxtrace_sample(). Does this mean it fails to
drop the AUX data?

Later, __cmd_inject() unconditionally strips PERF_SAMPLE_AUX from the file
header. Will this result in the output file falsely claiming there is no
AUX data in its header, while retaining the raw AUX payloads in the records?

These permanent evsel->core.attr modifications appear to be located in a
block that only runs when not in pipe mode (!inject->output.is_pipe).

In pipe mode (perf inject -o -), input ATTR events are repiped early and
unchanged. Later, perf_event__repipe_sample() temporarily mutates
evsel->core.attr.sample_type to inject the branch stack and removes AUX
data, repiping the SAMPLE payload using this modified layout.

Does this cause the downstream pipe consumer to receive ATTRs that specify
no branch stack and include AUX data, while the SAMPLE payloads are
mutated? Could this mismatch cause the parser to misinterpret the branch
stack bytes as subsequent fields, leading to out-of-bounds reads?

Hardware trace injection functions like intel_pt_inject_event pass 0 for
the branch_sample_type parameter here. Consequently, the hw_idx field is
not written to the synthetic sample payloads.

However, the event attributes generated by these trace synthesizers declare
that hw_idx is present (PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_HW_INDEX).

When perf report parses these events, will it expect the hw_idx field based
on the attribute header, misalign the payload, and consume the first branch
entry's from address as hw_idx?

Looking at read_script_info() in builtin-script.c, when it matches a
single-line docstring, it breaks out of the quote-matching loop but fails
to break out of the file-reading while loop.

Because both twatch.py and exported-sql-viewer.py contain subsequent
triple-quote blocks later in the file, does read_script_info() continue
scanning and overwrite desc->half_liner with those later blocks instead of
displaying this text?

If so, does this also leak the memory allocated for these new descriptions
when strdup() is called again without freeing the previous allocation?

Can this leak the memory allocated for the fallback description? 

If the loop continues to search for a better description tag and finds one 
later, it appears desc->half_liner is overwritten with a new strdup() 
without freeing the previous allocation.

What happens if waitpid() is interrupted by a signal, such as EINTR, or

If the condition evaluates to false, execution will fall out of the if block 
and continue. Does this unintentionally allow the parent process to keep 
executing the rest of cmd_script() and process perf.data natively, instead

perf python: Add python session abstraction wrapping perf's session

This commit adds a python wrapper for the perf session, allowing developers
to process perf.data files within python scripts. It introduces the ability
to pass a sample callback during session creation and exposes thread querying
capabilities.

Since event->header.size can reach up to 65535 bytes for events with large
payloads, does pyrf_event__new() allocate enough space to safely handle the
copy without causing a heap buffer overflow?

Does this shallow copy leave pointers like sample->raw_data pointing directly
into the memory-mapped perf.data file?

If the python script retains the event object after the event loop advances
the mmap window, could this lead to a use-after-free when dereferencing
those pointers?

Does calling PyErr_Print() clear the python error indicator?

here instead of propagating back to the user's script?

Since python permits explicit re-entrancy into an object's __init__ method,
does this code leak the previously allocated perf_session struct and other
properties if __init__ is called multiple times on the same instance?

perf python: Refactor and add accessors to sample event

This commit adds a common evsel field for events and moves sample-specific
fields to only be present in sample events. It also introduces new accessors
for sample events and refactors object type initialization in the Python
bindings.

Are pyrf_comm_event__type and pyrf_read_event__type missing their .tp_new and
.tp_dealloc assignments after the initialization refactor?

Without these, it appears direct Python instantiation could break, and missing
the C-level destructors could leave their lifecycle management inconsistent
compared to other perf event objects.

Could map__dso(pevent->al.map) return NULL here?

The accessors check if pevent->al.map is NULL, but if map__dso() itself returns
NULL, passing it to dso__name(), dso__long_name(), or dso__bid() could trigger
a NULL pointer dereference.

Since PyObject_New() does not zero-initialize memory, does removing
perf_sample__init() leave pointer fields in pevent->sample uninitialized?

If pevent is later garbage collected (for non-sample events, or if
evlist__event2evsel() fails below), pyrf_event__delete() will call
perf_sample__exit(&pevent->sample). This attempts to free pointers like
sample->user_regs or sample->intr_regs. Could this lead to a wild free crash
when it operates on uninitialized heap memory?

While not introduced directly by this patch, it seems the failure path for
evsel__parse_sample() right above this block might have a refcount underflow
issue:

	err = evsel__parse_sample(evsel, &pevent->event, &pevent->sample);
	if (err) {
		Py_DECREF(pyevent);

If evsel__parse_sample() fails, it cleans up by calling perf_sample__exit(),
which calls evsel__put() on the evsel reference without setting sample->evsel
to NULL.

When Py_DECREF(pyevent) is subsequently called here, it triggers the
pyrf_event__delete() destructor, which will call perf_sample__exit() a second
time. Does this cause a double evsel__put() and potential use-after-free?

Is the signature __init__(filename, mode=perf.DATA_MODE_READ) consistent
with the underlying C extension implementation?

Looking at pyrf_data__init in python.c, it appears to use
PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords with the keyword list {"path", "fd", NULL} and
hardcodes the internal mode to PERF_DATA_MODE_READ.

It also seems DATA_MODE_READ is not exported as a constant to Python in the
perf__constants array. Additionally, the .pyi stubs specify
def __init__(self, path: str = ..., fd: int = ...).

If a user follows this documentation and passes mode=perf.DATA_MODE_READ,
will their script crash with an AttributeError for the missing constant and a
TypeError for the invalid keyword argument?

Since the perf script report functionality is removed here, should the
documentation for the --show-info option also be updated?

Further down in this file, the documentation for --show-info currently
states: "It can only be used with the perf script report mode."

As this mode no longer exists and the option functions independently in the
C implementation, does leaving this text mislead users into thinking the
option is tied to a deprecated mode?

perf python: Use evsel in sample in pyrf_event

This commit avoids a duplicated evsel by using the one present in the sample.
It adds evsel__get() and evsel__put() to the evsel stored in perf_sample.

Does this leak the evsel reference for non-sample events?

In pyrf_evlist__read_on_cpu(), evsel__parse_sample() is called for all
event types, which acquires an evsel reference and stores it in the Python
event object:

pyrf_evlist__read_on_cpu()
    err = evsel__parse_sample(evsel, &pevent->event, &pevent->sample);

However, only pyrf_sample_event__type has a custom tp_dealloc method
(pyrf_sample_event__delete) that calls perf_sample__exit().

Other event types fall back to the default Python deallocator and bypass
perf_sample__exit(), which skips dropping the refcount and leaks the evsel
reference along with any dynamic structures in perf_sample.

I see this regression is fixed later in the patch series by commit
ce9c27681f1b (perf python: Refactor and add accessors to sample event),
which adds a universal tp_dealloc for all event types.

Does this cause a double-put on error paths?

If evsel__parse_sample() encounters an error and jumps to out_efault, it
calls perf_sample__exit() internally and drops the refcount.

If callers like do_test() in tools/perf/tests/sample-parsing.c or
pyrf_evlist__read_on_cpu() catch the error, they execute their own
cleanup paths and call perf_sample__exit() again on the same sample object.

Since sample->evsel is not set to NULL after evsel__put() here, could the
second call lead to a reference count underflow and a use-after-free?

[PATCH v3 00/58] perf: Reorganize scripting support

[Ian Rogers]

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 (11171 insertions, 15936 deletions, net 4765
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.

---
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 v3 04/58] perf script: Sort includes and add missed explicit dependencies

[Ian Rogers]

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 v3 08/58] perf data: Add open flag

[Ian Rogers]

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

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 v3 09/58] perf evlist: Add reference count

[Ian Rogers]

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.

[PATCH v3 10/58] perf evsel: Add reference count

[Ian Rogers]

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.

Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>
---
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 .

[PATCH v3 11/58] perf evlist: Add reference count checking

[Ian Rogers]

Now the evlist is reference counted, add reference count checking so
that gets and puts are paired and easy to debug. Reference count
checking is documented here:
https://perfwiki.github.io/main/reference-count-checking/

This large patch is adding accessors to evlist functions and switching
to their use. There was some minor renaming as evlist__mmap is now an
accessor to the mmap variable, and the original evlist__mmap is
renamed to evlist__do_mmap.

Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>
---
v2:

1. Fixed Memory Leak in evlist__new : Added free(evlist) in the else
   branch if ADD_RC_CHK fails, preventing a leak of the allocated raw
   structure.

2. Fixed Potential NULL Dereference: Added a NULL check after
   from_list_start(_evlist) in perf_evlist__mmap_cb_get() .

3. Fixed Use-After-Free Risk: In evlist__add() , I changed
   entry->evlist = evlist; to entry->evlist = evlist__get(evlist);
   . This ensures that the evsel holds a valid reference (wrapper) to
   the evlist , preventing it from becoming a dangling pointer if the
   original wrapper is freed.

4. Fixed Test Masking Bug: In test__perf_time__parse_for_ranges() , I
   replaced TEST_ASSERT_VAL with a manual check and return false; to
   avoid boolean evaluation of -1 inadvertently passing the test.

5. Fix reference count checker memory leaks from missed puts and due
   to cyclic evsel to evlist references. A leak still exists in
   __perf_evlist__propagate_maps due to empty CPU maps and not
   deleting the removed evsel.

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.

[PATCH v3 14/58] perf python: Add python session abstraction wrapping perf's session

[Ian Rogers]

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.

   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 .

[PATCH v3 15/58] perf python: Add syscall name/id to convert syscall number and name

[Ian Rogers]

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.

[PATCH v3 16/58] perf python: Refactor and add accessors to sample event

[Ian Rogers]

Add a common field for the evsel of an event. The evsel is derived
from the PERF_SAMPLE_ID or PERF_SAMPLE_IDENTIFIER that are potentially
present in all events.

Move fields, like sample_ip, to only be present in sample events. This
avoids errors like getting the sample ip for an mmap event.

Add new accessors for sample event raw_buf, dso, dso_long_name,
dso_bid, map_start, map_end, map_pgoff, symbol, sym_start, sym_end,
srccode and insn.

Minor tweaks to pyrf_evlist__str and pyrf_evsel__str.

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

1. Fixed Uninitialized Memory: In pyrf_event__new , I initialized
   al_resolved to false and called addr_location__init(&pevent->al) to
   prevent using garbage memory.

2. Restored sample_time : Added sample_time back to sample_members to
   avoid breaking scripts that rely on timestamps for non-sample
   events.

3. Fixed NULL Pointer Dereference: Added a NULL check for
   pevent->sample.evsel in pyrf_event__get_evsel() .

4. Fixed Memory Leak in Destructor: Added a call to
   addr_location__exit(&pevent->al) in pyrf_event__delete() to free
   map and thread references acquired during resolution.

5. Fixed Use-After-Free and Cache Corruption in srccode : Used a local
   addr_location in pyrf_sample_event__srccode() instead of
   overwriting pevent->al in place, avoiding dangling pointer issues
   with the thread reference and preserving the cached info.

6. Fix pyrf_evlist__read_on_cpu so that if an unsupported event type
   causes an exception a NoMemory error isn't thrown on top of this.

[PATCH v3 17/58] perf python: Add callchain support

[Ian Rogers]

Implement pyrf_callchain_node and pyrf_callchain types for lazy
iteration over callchain frames. Add callchain property to
sample_event.

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

1. Eager Callchain Resolution: Moved the callchain resolution from
   deferred iteration to eager processing in
   pyrf_session_tool__sample() .  This avoids risks of reading from
   unmapped memory or following dangling pointers to closed sessions.

2. Cached Callchain: Added a callchain field to struct pyrf_event to
   store the resolved object.

3. Simplified Access: pyrf_sample_event__get_callchain() now just
   returns the cached object if available.

4. Avoided Double Free: Handled lazy cleanups properly.

[PATCH v3 19/58] perf python: Extend API for stat events in python.c

[Ian Rogers]

Add stat information to the session. Add call backs for stat events.

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

1. Avoided Name Collision: Renamed the second "type" field in
   pyrf_stat_round_event__members[] to "stat_round_type" to prevent it
   from hiding the event header's type attribute.

2. Fixed Leak and Exception Handling in Callback: Added proper
   reference count handling for the result of PyObject_CallFunction()
   in pyrf_session_tool__stat() , and added an exception check that
   aborts the loop if the Python callback fails.

3. Fixed Leak in Destructor: Added Py_XDECREF(psession->stat); to
   pyrf_session__delete() to release the stat callback reference.

[PATCH v3 20/58] perf python: Expose brstack in sample event

[Ian Rogers]

Implement pyrf_branch_entry and pyrf_branch_stack for lazy
iteration over branch stack entries.

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

1. Avoided Keyword Collision: Renamed the properties "from" and "to"
   to "from_ip" and "to_ip" in pyrf_branch_entry__getset[] to prevent
   syntax errors in Python.

2. Eager Branch Stack Resolution: Updated pyrf_session_tool__sample()
   to allocate and copy the branch stack entries eagerly when the
   event is processed, instead of deferring it to iteration time. This
   avoids reading from potentially overwritten or unmapped mmap
   buffers.

3. Updated Iterators: Updated pyrf_branch_stack and
   pyrf_branch_stack__next() to use the copied entries rather than
   pointing directly to the sample's buffer.

4. Avoided Reference Leak on Init Failure: Added proper error checking
   for PyModule_AddObject() in the module initialization function,
   decrementing references on failure.

[PATCH v3 21/58] perf python: Add perf.pyi stubs file

[Ian Rogers]

Add Python type stubs for the perf module to improve IDE support and
static analysis.  Includes docstrings for classes, methods, and
constants derived from C source and JSON definitions.

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

1. Added Missing Module Functions: Added parse_metrics and
   pmus. Renamed metrics to parse_metrics to match python.c .

2. Added Constructors: Added __init__ methods for data , evsel , and
   evlist with their appropriate arguments.

3. Removed sample_comm : Removed it from sample_event since it is not
   exported in python.c .

4. Keyword Handling in branch_entry : I used from_ip and to_ip in the
   stubs to match the rename I did in python.c (in turn 145) to avoid
   the Python from keyword conflict.

5. Added Missing Event Classes: Added mmap_event , lost_event ,
   comm_event , task_event , throttle_event , read_event , and
   switch_event .

6. Added Missing evlist Methods: Added get_pollfd and add .

7. Updated Return Types: Changed process_events to return int .

[PATCH v3 22/58] perf python: Add LiveSession helper

[Ian Rogers]

Add LiveSession class in tools/perf/python/perf_live.py to support
live event collection using perf.evlist and perf.parse_events,
avoiding the need to fork a separate perf record process.

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

1. Fixed File Descriptor Leak: I moved self.evlist.mmap() inside the
   try block so that if it raises an exception, the finally block will
   still be executed and call self.evlist.close() , preventing file
   descriptor leaks.

2. Handled InterruptedError in poll() : I wrapped the poll() call in a
   try-except block to catch InterruptedError and continue the
   loop. This prevents the live session from crashing on non-fatal
   signals like SIGWINCH .

3. Added evlist.config() : I added a call to self.evlist.config() in
   the constructor after parse_events() . This applies the default
   record options to the events, enabling sampling and setting up
   PERF_SAMPLE_* fields so that the kernel will actually generate
   PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE events.

4. Enable the evlist and be robust to exceptions from reading unsupported
   events like mmap2.

[PATCH v3 23/58] perf python: Move exported-sql-viewer.py and parallel-perf.py to tools/perf/python/

[Ian Rogers]

These scripts are standalone and not using the `perf script` libpython
support. Move to tools/perf/python in an effort to deprecate the
tools/perf/scripts/python support.

Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>

v2:

1. Updated exported-sql-viewer.py : I updated the comments at the top
   of the script to use the new path
   tools/perf/python/exported-sql-viewer.py in the usage examples.

2. Fixed Test Path in script.sh : I updated the path in
   tools/perf/tests/shell/script.sh to point to the new location of
   parallel-perf.py at ../../python/parallel-perf.py .

[PATCH v3 24/58] perf stat-cpi: Port stat-cpi to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

Port stat-cpi.py from the legacy framework to a standalone script.
Support both file processing mode (using perf.session) and live mode
(reading counters directly via perf.parse_events and evsel.read). Use
argparse for command line options handling. Calculate and display CPI
(Cycles Per Instruction) per interval per CPU/thread.

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

1. Accurate CPI Calculation (Multiplexing Support):
  - Before: The get() method returned the raw counter value directly,
    ignoring whether the counter ran for the full interval.

  - After: The get() method now scales the raw value by the ratio of
    enabled time to running time ( val * (ena / float(run)) ) when run
    > 0 . This handles cases where PMU counters are overcommitted and
    multiplexed.

2. Per-Interval CPI in File Mode:
  - Before: store() saved absolute counter values as read from
    PERF_RECORD_STAT . Since these are cumulative from the start of
    the trace, and data.clear() was called every round, the script
    computed cumulative CPI rather than per-interval CPI.

  - After: store() now computes the delta between the current absolute
    value and the value from the previous interval. It saves this
    delta in self.data and retains the absolute value in self.
    prev_data for the next delta computation.

3. Prevention of Dummy Output (Cartesian Product Fix):
  - Before: self.cpus and self.threads lists accumulated all unique
    CPUs and threads seen independently. The nested loops in
    print_interval() then created a Cartesian product of all seen CPUs
    and threads, querying data for combinations that might never have
    occurred.
  - After: Replaced lists with a self.recorded_pairs set that stores
    (cpu, thread) tuples only when a sample actually records them. The
    output loop now iterates strictly over these verified pairs.

v2:

1. Fallback for Unknown Syscalls: If perf.syscall_name() returns None
   for an unmapped ID, the script now falls back to using the numeric
   ID string. This prevents a TypeError when applying string alignment
   formatting.

2. Fallback for Syscall Number Attribute: The script now checks for
   __syscall_nr first, and if not present (as on some older kernels),
   falls back to checking for nr .

3. Robust Process Resolution: Added a try-except block around
   session.process(sample.pid).comm() . If the process lookup fails
   (returning NULL/None), it falls back to "unknown" instead of
   letting a TypeError crash the script.

4. Support for Custom Input Files: Added a -i / --input command-line
   argument to allow processing arbitrarily named trace files,
   removing the hardcoded "perf.data" restriction.

v2:

1. Removed Unused Variable: Removed id_keys which was assigned but
   never read.

2. Fallback for Unknown Syscalls: If perf.syscall_name() returns None
   for an unmapped ID, it now falls back to the numeric ID string to
   prevent TypeError crashes during string formatting.

3. Fallback for Syscall Number Attribute: It now checks for
   __syscall_nr first, and if missing, falls back to checking for nr .

4. Robust Process Resolution: Added a try-except block around
   session.process(sample.pid).comm() to handle untracked PIDs
   gracefully instead of crashing on a TypeError .

5. Restored PID Filtering: The script now attempts to parse the
   positional argument as an integer to filter by Process ID. If that
   fails, it treats it as a command name (COMM) string to filter by,
   restoring behavior from the original legacy script.

6. Support for Custom Input Files: Added a -i / --input command-line
   argument to support arbitrarily named trace files, removing the
   hardcoded "perf.data" restriction.

v2:

1. Fixed Module Import Failure: Corrected the type annotations from
   [int, int] to Tuple[int, int] .  The previous code would raise a
   TypeError at module import time because lists cannot be used as
   types in dictionary annotations.

2. Prevented Out-Of-Memory Crashes: Replaced the approach of storing
   every single duration in a list with a LockStats class that
   maintains running aggregates (count, total time, min, max). This
   ensures O(1) memory usage per lock/thread pair rather than
   unbounded memory growth.

3. Support for Custom Input Files: Added a -i / --input command-line
   argument to support processing arbitrarily named trace files,
   removing the hardcoded "perf.data" restriction.

4. Robust Process Lookup: Added a check to ensure session is

[PATCH v3 29/58] perf flamegraph: Port flamegraph to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

Add a port of the flamegraph 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.

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

v2:

1. Performance Optimization: Changed Node.children from a list to a
   dictionary, reducing the lookup time in find_or_create_node from
   O(N) to O(1) and avoiding performance bottlenecks on wide call
   graphs.

2. Callchain Fallback: Added a fallback to use the sample's top-level
   symbol or instruction pointer if no callchain is present, ensuring
   the script still generates meaningful output rather than just
   process names.

3. Template Downloading Fix: Corrected the logic handling the
   --allow-download flag and custom HTTP URLs. It no longer warns
   about missing local files when a URL is provided, and won't
   silently overwrite custom URLs with the default one.

4. Output Stream Separation: Moved informational warnings to
   sys.stderr to prevent them from corrupting the resulting HTML/JSON
   file when the user streams the output to stdout (e.g., using -o -
   ).

5. XSS Protection: Added basic HTML entity escaping for < , > , and &
   within the embedded JSON data blocks. This mitigates the risk of
   cross-site scripting if trace data contains maliciously formed
   process or symbol names.

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.

[PATCH v3 31/58] perf arm-cs-trace-disasm: Port arm-cs-trace-disasm to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

[PATCH v3 32/58] perf check-perf-trace: Port check-perf-trace to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

[PATCH v3 33/58] perf compaction-times: Port compaction-times to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

Add a port of the compaction-times 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: Fixed Closure Call: Changed cls.fobj.filter(pid, comm) to
    cls.fobj(pid, comm) . Since fobj is a function (closure) and not a
    class instance, calling .filter() on it would raise an
    AttributeError .

+Report time spent in memory compaction.
+
+Memory compaction is a feature in the Linux kernel that defragments memory
+by moving used pages to create larger contiguous blocks of free memory. This
+is particularly useful for allocating huge pages.
+
+This script processes trace events related to memory compaction and reports:
+- Total time spent in compaction (stall time).
+- Statistics for page migration (moved vs. failed).
+- Statistics for the free scanner (scanned vs. isolated pages).
+- Statistics for the migration scanner (scanned vs. isolated pages).
+
+Definitions:
+- **Compaction**: Defragmenting memory by moving allocated pages.
+- **Migration**: Moving pages from their current location to free pages found by the free scanner.
+- **Free Scanner**: Scans memory (typically from the end of a zone) to find free pages.
+- **Migration Scanner**: Scans memory (typically from the beginning of a zone)
+  to find pages to move.
+- **Isolated Pages**: Pages that have been temporarily removed from the buddy
+  system for migration or as migration targets.

+Ported from tools/perf/scripts/python/compaction-times.py to the modern perf Python module.

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.

[PATCH v3 35/58] perf export-to-sqlite: Port export-to-sqlite to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

Ported from tools/perf/scripts/python/export-to-sqlite.py to use the
perf Python module API.

Key changes:
- Switched from PySide2.QtSql to standard library sqlite3 for database
  operations.
- Implemented lazy population of lookup tables (threads, comms, dsos,
  symbols) from sample data.
- Added callchain support for building call paths.

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

v2:

1. Restored samples_view : Added the CREATE VIEW IF NOT EXISTS
   samples_view statement to create_tables() , restoring compatibility
   with tools like exported-sql-viewer.py .

2. Fixed Fallbacks: Updated getattr calls for DSO and symbol names to
  use or "Unknown_..."  to handle cases where the C extension returns
  None instead of raising an AttributeError .

3. Event Name Accuracy: Used getattr(sample.evsel, 'name', ...)  to
   get the raw event name instead of str(sample.evsel) which returns
   evsel(name) .

4. Fixed Race Condition: Used os.open with os.O_CREAT | os.O_EXCL to
   securely create the database file and fail if it already exists,
   avoiding a TOCTOU race condition.

5. Fixed Cleanup Order: Ensured the database connection is closed
   before attempting to delete the file on error.

+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 v3 36/58] perf export-to-postgresql: Port export-to-postgresql to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

Ported from tools/perf/scripts/python/export-to-postgresql.py to use
the perf Python module API.

Key changes:
- Removed PySide2 dependency by using libpq via ctypes for all DB
  operations (DDL and COPY).
- Kept the high-performance binary file generation and COPY FROM STDIN
  approach.
- Implemented lazy population of lookup tables from sample data.

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

1. Dynamic Library Loading: Used ctypes.util.find_library("pq") to
   locate the PostgreSQL client library, making it more portable.

2. COPY Cleanup: Added a loop to call PQgetResult() until it returns
   None after PQputCopyEnd() , properly clearing the connection state
   and avoiding "command in progress" errors.

3. SQL Injection / Hyphen Fix: Added double quotes around the database
   name in the CREATE DATABASE query.

4. Fixed struct.pack Error: Added missing length prefixes for fields
  in write_sample to match the format string required by PostgreSQL's
  binary COPY format.

5. Fixed Cache Logic: Added a separate cache for comm_threads to
  ensure associations are written even when threads share a command
  name.

6. Fixed File I/O Order: Moved close_output_file() to happen after
   copy_output_file() .

7. Added Cleanup on Failure: Added logic to clean up the temporary
   directory if an exception occurs during processing, using
   shutil.rmtree .

+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 v3 37/58] perf failed-syscalls-by-pid: Port failed-syscalls-by-pid to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

Ported from tools/perf/scripts/python/failed-syscalls-by-pid.py to use
the perf Python module API.

Key changes:
- Used perf.syscall_name() to resolve syscall names instead of legacy
  Util library.
- Used standard collections.defaultdict for nested statistics
  aggregation.
- Used errno.errorcode for resolving error strings.
- Supported optional filtering by COMM or PID via command line
  arguments.

Assisted-by: Gemini:gemini-3.1-pro-preview

---
v2: Fixed Syscall Name Fallback: Handled the case where
    perf.syscall_name() returns None , falling back to the string
    representation of the syscall ID to avoid TypeError during string
    formatting.

[PATCH v3 38/58] perf intel-pt-events: Port intel-pt-events/libxed to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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

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 v3 39/58] perf net_dropmonitor: Port net_dropmonitor to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

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

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 v3 40/58] perf netdev-times: Port netdev-times to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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).

v2: Corrected Field Names: Fixed getattr calls for skblen and dev_name
    to use "len" and "name" respectively, as exposed by the actual

[PATCH v3 41/58] perf powerpc-hcalls: Port powerpc-hcalls to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

[PATCH v3 42/58] perf sched-migration: Port sched-migration/SchedGui to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

Assisted-by: Gemini:gemini-3.1-pro-preview
Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>
---
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 v3 43/58] perf sctop: Port sctop to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

Port sctop.py from tools/perf/scripts/python/ to tools/perf/python/,
refactoring it to use a class-based structure (SCTopAnalyzer) and the
perf.session API.

Also add support for live mode using the LiveSession helper when no
input file is specified, with a fallback strategy for tracepoint names
(raw_syscalls:sys_enter or syscalls:sys_enter) to support different
systems.

Assisted-by: Gemini:gemini-3.1-pro-preview

v2:

 - Fixed Missing Final Batch: Extracted the printing logic into a
   dedicated print_current_totals() method. Updated
   print_syscall_totals() to call this method one last time after the
   stop_event is set, ensuring that events accumulated since the last
   interval are not dropped.
 - Fixed Offline Mode Intervals:
   - Added an offline flag to SCTopAnalyzer to distinguish between
     live and offline modes.
   - In offline mode ( -i option), instead of relying on a wall-clock
     timer in a background thread, process_event() now checks the
     sample timestamp ( sample.time ). It triggers a print when the
     trace time advances by the specified interval.
   - Only starts the background thread when running in live mode.
   - Ensured the final batch is printed in the finally block for
     offline mode.

[PATCH v3 44/58] perf stackcollapse: Port stackcollapse to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

Assisted-by: Gemini:gemini-3.1-pro-preview

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 v3 45/58] perf task-analyzer: Port task-analyzer to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

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 v3 46/58] perf failed-syscalls: Port failed-syscalls to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

[PATCH v3 47/58] perf rw-by-file: Port rw-by-file to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

[PATCH v3 48/58] perf rw-by-pid: Port rw-by-pid to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

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.

[PATCH v3 49/58] perf rwtop: Port rwtop to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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 v3 50/58] perf wakeup-latency: Port wakeup-latency to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

---
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 v3 51/58] perf test: Migrate Intel PT virtual LBR test to use Python API

[Ian Rogers]

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.

[PATCH v3 52/58] perf: Remove libperl support, legacy Perl scripts and tests

[Ian Rogers]

This commit removes embedded Perl interpreter support from perf, as all
legacy Perl scripts have been ported to Python or are no longer needed.

Changes include:
- Removal of libperl feature detection and flags from Makefile.config.
- Removal of Perl script installation rules from Makefile.perf.
- Removal of build rules for trace-event-perl.o and Perf-Trace-Util.
- Deletion of tools/perf/util/scripting-engines/trace-event-perl.c.
- Removal of Perl scripting operations and setup from
  trace-event-scripting.c.
- Removal of setup_perl_scripting() call from builtin-script.c and
  declaration from trace-event.h.
- Removal of Perl checks in the script browser (scripts.c).
- Removal of libperl from the supported features list in
  builtin-check.c and Documentation/perf-check.txt.
- Removal of make_libperl target from tests/make.
- Deletion of the entire tools/perf/scripts/perl directory containing
  legacy Perl scripts.
- Removal of tools/perf/tests/shell/script_perl.sh test.

v2:

1. In tools/perf/ui/browsers/scripts.c : I added an unconditional skip
   for the "perl" directory in find_scripts() . This ensures that even
   if stale Perl scripts are left over in the installation directory,
   they will not appear in the TUI script browser.

2. In tools/perf/Makefile.config : I removed the dangling $(call
   detected_var,PERL_EMBED_CCOPTS) line at the end of the file, so it
   no longer exports that undefined variable to the configuration.

-Perf-Trace-Util version 0.01
-============================
-
-This module contains utility functions for use with perf script.
-
-Core.pm and Util.pm are pure Perl modules; Core.pm contains routines
-that the core perf support for Perl calls on and should always be
-'used', while Util.pm contains useful but optional utility functions
-that scripts may want to use.  Context.pm contains the Perl->C
-interface that allows scripts to access data in the embedding perf
-executable; scripts wishing to do that should 'use Context.pm'.
-
-The Perl->C perf interface is completely driven by Context.xs.  If you
-want to add new Perl functions that end up accessing C data in the
-perf executable, you add desciptions of the new functions here.
-scripting_context is a pointer to the perf data in the perf executable
-that you want to access - it's passed as the second parameter,
-$context, to all handler functions.
-
-After you do that:
-
-  perl Makefile.PL   # to create a Makefile for the next step
-  make               # to create Context.c
-
-  edit Context.c to add const to the char* file = __FILE__ line in
-  XS(boot_Perf__Trace__Context) to silence a warning/error.
-
-  You can delete the Makefile, object files and anything else that was
-  generated e.g. blib and shared library, etc, except for of course
-  Context.c
-
-  You should then be able to run the normal perf make as usual.
-
-INSTALLATION
-
-Building perf with perf script Perl scripting should install this
-module in the right place.
-
-You should make sure libperl and ExtUtils/Embed.pm are installed first
-e.g. apt-get install libperl-dev or yum install perl-ExtUtils-Embed.

[PATCH v3 53/58] perf: Remove libpython support and legacy Python scripts

[Ian Rogers]

This commit removes embedded Python interpreter support from perf, as
all legacy Python scripts have been ported to standalone Python
scripts or are no longer needed.

Changes include:
- Removal of libpython detection and flags from Makefile.config.
- Removal of Python script installation rules from Makefile.perf.
- Deletion of tools/perf/util/scripting-engines/trace-event-python.c.
- Removal of Python scripting operations and setup from
  trace-event-scripting.c.
- Removal of setup_python_scripting() call from builtin-script.c and
  declaration from trace-event.h.
- Removal of Python checks in the script browser (scripts.c).
- Removal of libpython from the supported features list in builtin-check.c
  and Documentation/perf-check.txt.
- Deletion of the legacy Python scripts in tools/perf/scripts/python.

-# To use this script you will need to have installed package python-pyside which
-# provides LGPL-licensed Python bindings for Qt.  You will also need the package
-# libqt4-sql-psql for Qt postgresql support.
-#
-# The script assumes postgresql is running on the local machine and that the
-# user has postgresql permissions to create databases. Examples of installing
-# postgresql and adding such a user are:
-#
-# fedora:
-#
-#	$ sudo yum install postgresql postgresql-server qt-postgresql
-#	$ sudo su - postgres -c initdb
-#	$ sudo service postgresql start
-#	$ sudo su - postgres
-#	$ createuser -s <your user id here>    # Older versions may not support -s, in which case answer the prompt below:
-#	Shall the new role be a superuser? (y/n) y
-#	$ sudo yum install python-pyside
-#
-#	Alternately, to use Python3 and/or pyside 2, one of the following:
-#		$ sudo yum install python3-pyside
-#		$ pip install --user PySide2
-#		$ pip3 install --user PySide2
-#
-# ubuntu:
-#
-#	$ sudo apt-get install postgresql
-#	$ sudo su - postgres
-#	$ createuser -s <your user id here>
-#	$ sudo apt-get install python-pyside.qtsql libqt4-sql-psql
-#
-#	Alternately, to use Python3 and/or pyside 2, one of the following:
-#
-#		$ sudo apt-get install python3-pyside.qtsql libqt4-sql-psql
-#		$ sudo apt-get install python-pyside2.qtsql libqt5sql5-psql
-#		$ sudo apt-get install python3-pyside2.qtsql libqt5sql5-psql
-#
-# An example of using this script with Intel PT:
-#
-#	$ perf record -e intel_pt//u ls
-#	$ perf script -s ~/libexec/perf-core/scripts/python/export-to-postgresql.py pt_example branches calls

-# 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'.
-#
-#	calls
-#
-#		'calls' represents function calls and is related to 'samples' by 'call_id' and 'return_id'.
-#		'calls' is only created when the 'calls' option to this script is specified.
-#
-#	call_paths
-#
-#		'call_paths' represents all the call stacks.  Each 'call' has an associated record in 'call_paths'.
-#		'calls_paths' is only created when the 'calls' option to this script is specified.
-#
-#	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:
-#
-#		calls_view
-#		call_paths_view
-#		comm_threads_view
-#		dsos_view
-#		machines_view
-#		samples_view
-#		symbols_view
-#		threads_view
-#
-# More examples of browsing the database with psql:
-#   Note that some of the examples are not the most optimal SQL query.
-#   Note that call information is only available if the script's 'calls' option has been used.
-#
-#	Top 10 function calls (not aggregated by symbol):
-#
-#		SELECT * FROM calls_view ORDER BY elapsed_time DESC LIMIT 10;
-#
-#	Top 10 function calls (aggregated by symbol):
-#
-#		SELECT symbol_id,(SELECT name FROM symbols WHERE id = symbol_id) AS symbol,
-#			SUM(elapsed_time) AS tot_elapsed_time,SUM(branch_count) AS tot_branch_count
-#			FROM calls_view GROUP BY symbol_id ORDER BY tot_elapsed_time DESC LIMIT 10;
-#
-#		Note that the branch count gives a rough estimation of cpu usage, so functions
-#		that took a long time but have a relatively low branch count must have spent time
-#		waiting.
-#
-#	Find symbols by pattern matching on part of the name (e.g. names containing 'alloc'):
-#
-#		SELECT * FROM symbols_view WHERE name LIKE '%alloc%';
-#
-#	Top 10 function calls for a specific symbol (e.g. whose symbol_id is 187):
-#
-#		SELECT * FROM calls_view WHERE symbol_id = 187 ORDER BY elapsed_time DESC LIMIT 10;
-#
-#	Show function calls made by function in the same context (i.e. same call path) (e.g. one with call_path_id 254):
-#
-#		SELECT * FROM calls_view WHERE parent_call_path_id = 254;
-#
-#	Show branches made during a function call (e.g. where call_id is 29357 and return_id is 29370 and tid is 29670)
-#
-#		SELECT * FROM samples_view WHERE id >= 29357 AND id <= 29370 AND tid = 29670 AND event LIKE 'branches%';
-#
-#	Show transactions:
-#
-#		SELECT * FROM samples_view WHERE event = 'transactions';
-#
-#		Note transaction start has 'in_tx' true whereas, transaction end has 'in_tx' false.
-#		Transaction aborts have branch_type_name 'transaction abort'
-#
-#	Show transaction aborts:
-#
-#		SELECT * FROM samples_view WHERE event = 'transactions' AND branch_type_name = 'transaction abort';
-#
-# To print a call stack requires walking the call_paths table.  For example this python script:
-#   #!/usr/bin/python2
-#
-#   import sys
-#   from PySide.QtSql import *
-#

-#                   ret = query.exec_('SELECT * FROM call_paths_view WHERE id = ' + str(call_path_id))

-# To use this script you will need to have installed package python-pyside which
-# provides LGPL-licensed Python bindings for Qt.  You will also need the package
-# libqt4-sql-sqlite for Qt sqlite3 support.
-#
-# Examples of installing pyside:
-#
-# ubuntu:
-#
-#	$ sudo apt-get install python-pyside.qtsql libqt4-sql-psql
-#
-#	Alternately, to use Python3 and/or pyside 2, one of the following:
-#
-#		$ sudo apt-get install python3-pyside.qtsql libqt4-sql-psql
-#		$ sudo apt-get install python-pyside2.qtsql libqt5sql5-psql
-#		$ sudo apt-get install python3-pyside2.qtsql libqt5sql5-psql
-# fedora:
-#
-#	$ sudo yum install python-pyside
-#
-#	Alternately, to use Python3 and/or pyside 2, one of the following:
-#		$ sudo yum install python3-pyside
-#		$ pip install --user PySide2
-#		$ pip3 install --user PySide2
-#
-# An example of using this script with Intel PT:
-#
-#	$ perf record -e intel_pt//u ls
-#	$ perf script -s ~/libexec/perf-core/scripts/python/export-to-sqlite.py pt_example branches calls
-#	2017-07-31 14:26:07.326913 Creating database...
-#	2017-07-31 14:26:07.538097 Writing records...
-#	2017-07-31 14:26:09.889292 Adding indexes
-#	2017-07-31 14:26:09.958746 Done
-#
-# 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.
-#
-# The database structure is practically the same as created by the script
-# export-to-postgresql.py. Refer to that script for details.  A notable
-# difference is  the 'transaction' column of the 'samples' table which is
-# renamed 'transaction_' in sqlite because 'transaction' is a reserved word.

[PATCH v3 54/58] perf Makefile: Update Python script installation path

[Ian Rogers]

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 v3 55/58] perf script: Refactor to support standalone scripts and remove legacy features

[Ian Rogers]

- 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.

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

-perf-script-python - Process trace data with a Python script

 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.
+This section shows how to create a simple Python script that reads a
+`perf.data` file and prints event information.
 
-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):
+Create a file named `print_events.py` with the following content:

-----
-
-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:
+#!/usr/bin/env python3
+import perf
 
-- 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.
+def process_event(sample):
+    print(f"Event: {sample.evsel} on CPU {sample.sample_cpu} at {sample.sample_time}")
 
-- 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:
+# Open the session with perf.data file
+session = perf.session(perf.data("perf.data"), sample=process_event)
 
+# Process all events
+session.process_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) ]
+Make the script executable:
 ----
-
-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).
-
+$ chmod +x print_events.py
 ----
-# 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).

-
-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:
-
+Run the script:
 ----
-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):
+$ perf script print_events.py
 ----
 
-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:
-
+Or run it directly with Python, ensuring `perf.so` is in your `PYTHONPATH`:
 ----
-  syscalls = autodict()
-
-  try:
-    syscalls[id] += 1
-  except TypeError:
-    syscalls[id] = 1
+$ PYTHONPATH=/path/to/perf/python python3 print_events.py
 ----
 
-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):

-	'/scripts/python/Perf-Trace-Util/lib/Perf/Trace')

-    if for_comm is not None:

-				  reverse = True):
-	    print "%-40s  %10d\n" % (syscall_name(id), val),
-----
-
-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:
-
-----
-# cat kernel-source/tools/perf/scripts/python/bin/syscall-counts-report
-
-#!/bin/bash
-# description: system-wide syscall counts
-perf script -s ~/libexec/perf-core/scripts/python/syscall-counts.py
-----
-
-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:
-
-----
-# ls -al kernel-source/tools/perf/scripts/python
-total 32
-drwxr-xr-x 4 trz trz 4096 2010-01-26 22:30 .
-drwxr-xr-x 4 trz trz 4096 2010-01-26 22:29 ..
-drwxr-xr-x 2 trz trz 4096 2010-01-26 22:29 bin
--rw-r--r-- 1 trz trz 2548 2010-01-26 22:29 check-perf-script.py
-drwxr-xr-x 3 trz trz 4096 2010-01-26 22:49 Perf-Trace-Util
--rw-r--r-- 1 trz trz 1462 2010-01-26 22:30 syscall-counts.py
-----
-
-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:
-
-----
-# 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
-----
-
-You can now perform the record step via 'perf script record':
-
-  # perf script record syscall-counts
-
-and display the output using 'perf script report':
-
-  # 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)`: Turns a syscall number to a string.
+- `syscall_id(name)`: 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.
 
-Currently supported fields:

+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:

 DESCRIPTION
 -----------
@@ -23,52 +20,9 @@ There are several variants of perf script:
   'perf script' to see a detailed trace of the workload that was
   recorded.
 
-  You can also run a set of pre-canned scripts that aggregate and
-  summarize the raw trace data in various ways (the list of scripts is
-  available via 'perf script -l').  The following variants allow you to
-  record and run those scripts:
-
-  'perf script record <script> <command>' to record the events required
-  for 'perf script report'.  <script> is the name displayed in the
-  output of 'perf script --list' i.e. the actual script name minus any
-  language extension.  If <command> is not specified, the events are
-  recorded using the -a (system-wide) 'perf record' option.
-
-  'perf script report <script> [args]' to run and display the results
-  of <script>.  <script> is the name displayed in the output of 'perf
-  script --list' i.e. the actual script name minus any language
-  extension.  The perf.data output from a previous run of 'perf script
-  record <script>' is used and should be present for this command to
-  succeed.  [args] refers to the (mainly optional) args expected by
-  the script.
-
-  'perf script <script> <required-script-args> <command>' to both
-  record the events required for <script> and to run the <script>
-  using 'live-mode' i.e. without writing anything to disk.  <script>
-  is the name displayed in the output of 'perf script --list' i.e. the
-  actual script name minus any language extension.  If <command> is
-  not specified, the events are recorded using the -a (system-wide)
-  'perf record' option.  If <script> has any required args, they
-  should be specified before <command>.  This mode doesn't allow for
-  optional script args to be specified; if optional script args are
-  desired, they can be specified using separate 'perf script record'
-  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 -'

[PATCH v4 00/58] perf: Reorganize scripting support

[Ian Rogers]

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.

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

Sorry for the churn resending v3 plus one fix!

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 v4 01/58] perf inject: Fix itrace branch stack synthesis

[Ian Rogers]

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 .

[PATCH v4 05/58] perf script: Sort includes and add missed explicit dependencies

[Ian Rogers]

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 v4 09/58] perf data: Add open flag

[Ian Rogers]

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 v4 10/58] perf evlist: Add reference count

[Ian Rogers]

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.

[PATCH v4 11/58] perf evsel: Add reference count

[Ian Rogers]

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.

Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>
---
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 .

[PATCH v4 12/58] perf evlist: Add reference count checking

[Ian Rogers]

Now the evlist is reference counted, add reference count checking so
that gets and puts are paired and easy to debug. Reference count
checking is documented here:
https://perfwiki.github.io/main/reference-count-checking/

This large patch is adding accessors to evlist functions and switching
to their use. There was some minor renaming as evlist__mmap is now an
accessor to the mmap variable, and the original evlist__mmap is
renamed to evlist__do_mmap.

Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>
---
v2:

1. Fixed Memory Leak in evlist__new : Added free(evlist) in the else
   branch if ADD_RC_CHK fails, preventing a leak of the allocated raw
   structure.

2. Fixed Potential NULL Dereference: Added a NULL check after
   from_list_start(_evlist) in perf_evlist__mmap_cb_get() .

3. Fixed Use-After-Free Risk: In evlist__add() , I changed
   entry->evlist = evlist; to entry->evlist = evlist__get(evlist);
   . This ensures that the evsel holds a valid reference (wrapper) to
   the evlist , preventing it from becoming a dangling pointer if the
   original wrapper is freed.

4. Fixed Test Masking Bug: In test__perf_time__parse_for_ranges() , I
   replaced TEST_ASSERT_VAL with a manual check and return false; to
   avoid boolean evaluation of -1 inadvertently passing the test.

5. Fix reference count checker memory leaks from missed puts and due
   to cyclic evsel to evlist references. A leak still exists in
   __perf_evlist__propagate_maps due to empty CPU maps and not
   deleting the removed evsel.

[PATCH v4 13/58] perf python: Use evsel in sample in pyrf_event

[Ian Rogers]

Avoid a duplicated evsel by using the one in sample. Add
evsel__get/put to the evsel in perf_sample.

[PATCH v4 14/58] perf python: Add wrapper for perf_data file abstraction

[Ian Rogers]

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.

[PATCH v4 15/58] perf python: Add python session abstraction wrapping perf's session

[Ian Rogers]

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']
['__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']
['__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 .

[PATCH v4 16/58] perf python: Add syscall name/id to convert syscall number and name

[Ian Rogers]

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.

[PATCH v4 17/58] perf python: Refactor and add accessors to sample event

[Ian Rogers]

Add a common field for the evsel of an event. The evsel is derived
from the PERF_SAMPLE_ID or PERF_SAMPLE_IDENTIFIER that are potentially
present in all events.

Move fields, like sample_ip, to only be present in sample events. This
avoids errors like getting the sample ip for an mmap event.

Add new accessors for sample event raw_buf, dso, dso_long_name,
dso_bid, map_start, map_end, map_pgoff, symbol, sym_start, sym_end,
srccode and insn.

Minor tweaks to pyrf_evlist__str and pyrf_evsel__str.

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

1. Fixed Uninitialized Memory: In pyrf_event__new , I initialized
   al_resolved to false and called addr_location__init(&pevent->al) to
   prevent using garbage memory.

2. Restored sample_time : Added sample_time back to sample_members to
   avoid breaking scripts that rely on timestamps for non-sample
   events.

3. Fixed NULL Pointer Dereference: Added a NULL check for
   pevent->sample.evsel in pyrf_event__get_evsel() .

4. Fixed Memory Leak in Destructor: Added a call to
   addr_location__exit(&pevent->al) in pyrf_event__delete() to free
   map and thread references acquired during resolution.

5. Fixed Use-After-Free and Cache Corruption in srccode : Used a local
   addr_location in pyrf_sample_event__srccode() instead of
   overwriting pevent->al in place, avoiding dangling pointer issues
   with the thread reference and preserving the cached info.

6. Fix pyrf_evlist__read_on_cpu so that if an unsupported event type
   causes an exception a NoMemory error isn't thrown on top of this.

[PATCH v4 18/58] perf python: Add callchain support

[Ian Rogers]

Implement pyrf_callchain_node and pyrf_callchain types for lazy
iteration over callchain frames. Add callchain property to
sample_event.

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

1. Eager Callchain Resolution: Moved the callchain resolution from
   deferred iteration to eager processing in
   pyrf_session_tool__sample() .  This avoids risks of reading from
   unmapped memory or following dangling pointers to closed sessions.

2. Cached Callchain: Added a callchain field to struct pyrf_event to
   store the resolved object.

3. Simplified Access: pyrf_sample_event__get_callchain() now just
   returns the cached object if available.

4. Avoided Double Free: Handled lazy cleanups properly.

[PATCH v4 20/58] perf python: Extend API for stat events in python.c

[Ian Rogers]

Add stat information to the session. Add call backs for stat events.

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

1. Avoided Name Collision: Renamed the second "type" field in
   pyrf_stat_round_event__members[] to "stat_round_type" to prevent it
   from hiding the event header's type attribute.

2. Fixed Leak and Exception Handling in Callback: Added proper
   reference count handling for the result of PyObject_CallFunction()
   in pyrf_session_tool__stat() , and added an exception check that
   aborts the loop if the Python callback fails.

3. Fixed Leak in Destructor: Added Py_XDECREF(psession->stat); to
   pyrf_session__delete() to release the stat callback reference.

[PATCH v4 21/58] perf python: Expose brstack in sample event

[Ian Rogers]

Implement pyrf_branch_entry and pyrf_branch_stack for lazy
iteration over branch stack entries.

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

1. Avoided Keyword Collision: Renamed the properties "from" and "to"
   to "from_ip" and "to_ip" in pyrf_branch_entry__getset[] to prevent
   syntax errors in Python.

2. Eager Branch Stack Resolution: Updated pyrf_session_tool__sample()
   to allocate and copy the branch stack entries eagerly when the
   event is processed, instead of deferring it to iteration time. This
   avoids reading from potentially overwritten or unmapped mmap
   buffers.

3. Updated Iterators: Updated pyrf_branch_stack and
   pyrf_branch_stack__next() to use the copied entries rather than
   pointing directly to the sample's buffer.

4. Avoided Reference Leak on Init Failure: Added proper error checking
   for PyModule_AddObject() in the module initialization function,
   decrementing references on failure.

[PATCH v4 22/58] perf python: Add perf.pyi stubs file

[Ian Rogers]

Add Python type stubs for the perf module to improve IDE support and
static analysis.  Includes docstrings for classes, methods, and
constants derived from C source and JSON definitions.

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

1. Added Missing Module Functions: Added parse_metrics and
   pmus. Renamed metrics to parse_metrics to match python.c .

2. Added Constructors: Added __init__ methods for data , evsel , and
   evlist with their appropriate arguments.

3. Removed sample_comm : Removed it from sample_event since it is not
   exported in python.c .

4. Keyword Handling in branch_entry : I used from_ip and to_ip in the
   stubs to match the rename I did in python.c (in turn 145) to avoid
   the Python from keyword conflict.

5. Added Missing Event Classes: Added mmap_event , lost_event ,
   comm_event , task_event , throttle_event , read_event , and
   switch_event .

6. Added Missing evlist Methods: Added get_pollfd and add .

7. Updated Return Types: Changed process_events to return int .

[PATCH v4 23/58] perf python: Add LiveSession helper

[Ian Rogers]

Add LiveSession class in tools/perf/python/perf_live.py to support
live event collection using perf.evlist and perf.parse_events,
avoiding the need to fork a separate perf record process.

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

1. Fixed File Descriptor Leak: I moved self.evlist.mmap() inside the
   try block so that if it raises an exception, the finally block will
   still be executed and call self.evlist.close() , preventing file
   descriptor leaks.

2. Handled InterruptedError in poll() : I wrapped the poll() call in a
   try-except block to catch InterruptedError and continue the
   loop. This prevents the live session from crashing on non-fatal
   signals like SIGWINCH .

3. Added evlist.config() : I added a call to self.evlist.config() in
   the constructor after parse_events() . This applies the default
   record options to the events, enabling sampling and setting up
   PERF_SAMPLE_* fields so that the kernel will actually generate
   PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE events.

4. Enable the evlist and be robust to exceptions from reading unsupported
   events like mmap2.

v2:

1. Updated exported-sql-viewer.py : I updated the comments at the top
   of the script to use the new path
   tools/perf/python/exported-sql-viewer.py in the usage examples.

2. Fixed Test Path in script.sh : I updated the path in
   tools/perf/tests/shell/script.sh to point to the new location of
   parallel-perf.py at ../../python/parallel-perf.py .

[PATCH v4 25/58] perf stat-cpi: Port stat-cpi to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

Port stat-cpi.py from the legacy framework to a standalone script.
Support both file processing mode (using perf.session) and live mode
(reading counters directly via perf.parse_events and evsel.read). Use
argparse for command line options handling. Calculate and display CPI
(Cycles Per Instruction) per interval per CPU/thread.

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

1. Accurate CPI Calculation (Multiplexing Support):
  - Before: The get() method returned the raw counter value directly,
    ignoring whether the counter ran for the full interval.

  - After: The get() method now scales the raw value by the ratio of
    enabled time to running time ( val * (ena / float(run)) ) when run
    > 0 . This handles cases where PMU counters are overcommitted and
    multiplexed.

2. Per-Interval CPI in File Mode:
  - Before: store() saved absolute counter values as read from
    PERF_RECORD_STAT . Since these are cumulative from the start of
    the trace, and data.clear() was called every round, the script
    computed cumulative CPI rather than per-interval CPI.

  - After: store() now computes the delta between the current absolute
    value and the value from the previous interval. It saves this
    delta in self.data and retains the absolute value in self.
    prev_data for the next delta computation.

3. Prevention of Dummy Output (Cartesian Product Fix):
  - Before: self.cpus and self.threads lists accumulated all unique
    CPUs and threads seen independently. The nested loops in
    print_interval() then created a Cartesian product of all seen CPUs
    and threads, querying data for combinations that might never have
    occurred.
  - After: Replaced lists with a self.recorded_pairs set that stores
    (cpu, thread) tuples only when a sample actually records them. The
    output loop now iterates strictly over these verified pairs.

[PATCH v4 27/58] perf syscall-counts: Port syscall-counts to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

Rewrite tools/perf/scripts/python/syscall-counts.py to use the python
module and various style changes. By avoiding the overheads in the
`perf script` execution the performance improves by more than 4x as
shown in the following (with PYTHON_PATH and PERF_EXEC_PATH set as
necessary):

```
$ perf record -e raw_syscalls:sys_enter -a sleep 1
...
$ time perf script tools/perf/scripts/python/syscall-counts.py perf
Install the python-audit package to get syscall names.
For example:
  # apt-get install python3-audit (Ubuntu)
  # yum install python3-audit (Fedora)
  etc.

v2:

1. Fallback for Unknown Syscalls: If perf.syscall_name() returns None
   for an unmapped ID, the script now falls back to using the numeric
   ID string. This prevents a TypeError when applying string alignment
   formatting.

2. Fallback for Syscall Number Attribute: The script now checks for
   __syscall_nr first, and if not present (as on some older kernels),
   falls back to checking for nr .

3. Robust Process Resolution: Added a try-except block around
   session.process(sample.pid).comm() . If the process lookup fails
   (returning NULL/None), it falls back to "unknown" instead of
   letting a TypeError crash the script.

4. Support for Custom Input Files: Added a -i / --input command-line
   argument to allow processing arbitrarily named trace files,
   removing the hardcoded "perf.data" restriction.

[Ian Rogers]

Rewrite tools/perf/scripts/python/syscall-counts-by-pid.py to use the
python module and various style changes. By avoiding the overheads in
the `perf script` execution the performance improves by more than 3.8x
as shown in the following (with PYTHON_PATH and PERF_EXEC_PATH set as
necessary):

```
$ perf record -e raw_syscalls:sys_enter -a sleep 1
...
$ time perf script tools/perf/scripts/python/syscall-counts-by-pid.py perf
Install the python-audit package to get syscall names.
For example:
  # apt-get install python3-audit (Ubuntu)
  # yum install python3-audit (Fedora)
  etc.

v2:

1. Removed Unused Variable: Removed id_keys which was assigned but
   never read.

2. Fallback for Unknown Syscalls: If perf.syscall_name() returns None
   for an unmapped ID, it now falls back to the numeric ID string to
   prevent TypeError crashes during string formatting.

3. Fallback for Syscall Number Attribute: It now checks for
   __syscall_nr first, and if missing, falls back to checking for nr .

4. Robust Process Resolution: Added a try-except block around
   session.process(sample.pid).comm() to handle untracked PIDs
   gracefully instead of crashing on a TypeError .

5. Restored PID Filtering: The script now attempts to parse the
   positional argument as an integer to filter by Process ID. If that
   fails, it treats it as a command name (COMM) string to filter by,
   restoring behavior from the original legacy script.

6. Support for Custom Input Files: Added a -i / --input command-line
   argument to support arbitrarily named trace files, removing the
   hardcoded "perf.data" restriction.

v2:

1. Fixed Module Import Failure: Corrected the type annotations from
   [int, int] to Tuple[int, int] .  The previous code would raise a
   TypeError at module import time because lists cannot be used as
   types in dictionary annotations.

2. Prevented Out-Of-Memory Crashes: Replaced the approach of storing
   every single duration in a list with a LockStats class that
   maintains running aggregates (count, total time, min, max). This
   ensures O(1) memory usage per lock/thread pair rather than
   unbounded memory growth.

3. Support for Custom Input Files: Added a -i / --input command-line
   argument to support processing arbitrarily named trace files,
   removing the hardcoded "perf.data" restriction.

4. Robust Process Lookup: Added a check to ensure session is
   initialized before calling session.  process() , preventing
   potential NoneType attribute errors if events are processed during
   initialization.

[PATCH v4 30/58] perf flamegraph: Port flamegraph to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

Add a port of the flamegraph 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. Performance Optimization: Changed Node.children from a list to a
   dictionary, reducing the lookup time in find_or_create_node from
   O(N) to O(1) and avoiding performance bottlenecks on wide call
   graphs.

2. Callchain Fallback: Added a fallback to use the sample's top-level
   symbol or instruction pointer if no callchain is present, ensuring
   the script still generates meaningful output rather than just
   process names.

3. Template Downloading Fix: Corrected the logic handling the
   --allow-download flag and custom HTTP URLs. It no longer warns
   about missing local files when a URL is provided, and won't
   silently overwrite custom URLs with the default one.

4. Output Stream Separation: Moved informational warnings to
   sys.stderr to prevent them from corrupting the resulting HTML/JSON
   file when the user streams the output to stdout (e.g., using -o -
   ).

5. XSS Protection: Added basic HTML entity escaping for < , > , and &
   within the embedded JSON data blocks. This mitigates the risk of
   cross-site scripting if trace data contains maliciously formed
   process or symbol names.

[PATCH v5 00/58] perf: Reorganize scripting support

[Ian Rogers]

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.

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 v5 01/58] perf inject: Fix itrace branch stack synthesis

[Ian Rogers]

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 .

[PATCH v5 05/58] perf script: Sort includes and add missed explicit dependencies

[Ian Rogers]

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 v5 09/58] perf data: Add open flag

[Ian Rogers]

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 v5 10/58] perf evlist: Add reference count

[Ian Rogers]

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.

[PATCH v5 11/58] perf evsel: Add reference count

[Ian Rogers]

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.

Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>
---
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 .

[PATCH v5 12/58] perf evlist: Add reference count checking

[Ian Rogers]

Now the evlist is reference counted, add reference count checking so
that gets and puts are paired and easy to debug. Reference count
checking is documented here:
https://perfwiki.github.io/main/reference-count-checking/

This large patch is adding accessors to evlist functions and switching
to their use. There was some minor renaming as evlist__mmap is now an
accessor to the mmap variable, and the original evlist__mmap is
renamed to evlist__do_mmap.

Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>

v2:

1. Fixed Memory Leak in evlist__new : Added free(evlist) in the else
   branch if ADD_RC_CHK fails, preventing a leak of the allocated raw
   structure.

2. Fixed Potential NULL Dereference: Added a NULL check after
   from_list_start(_evlist) in perf_evlist__mmap_cb_get() .

3. Fixed Use-After-Free Risk: In evlist__add() , I changed
   entry->evlist = evlist; to entry->evlist = evlist__get(evlist);
   . This ensures that the evsel holds a valid reference (wrapper) to
   the evlist , preventing it from becoming a dangling pointer if the
   original wrapper is freed.

4. Fixed Test Masking Bug: In test__perf_time__parse_for_ranges() , I
   replaced TEST_ASSERT_VAL with a manual check and return false; to
   avoid boolean evaluation of -1 inadvertently passing the test.

5. Fix reference count checker memory leaks from missed puts and due
   to cyclic evsel to evlist references. A leak still exists in
   __perf_evlist__propagate_maps due to empty CPU maps and not
   deleting the removed evsel.

[PATCH v5 14/58] perf python: Add wrapper for perf_data file abstraction

The perf_data struct is needed for session supported.

Assisted-by: Gemini:gemini-3.1-pro-preview

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.

[PATCH v5 15/58] perf python: Add python session abstraction wrapping perf's session

[Ian Rogers]

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']
['__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']
['__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 .

[PATCH v5 16/58] perf python: Add syscall name/id to convert syscall number and name

[Ian Rogers]

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.

[PATCH v5 17/58] perf python: Refactor and add accessors to sample event

[Ian Rogers]

Add a common field for the evsel of an event. The evsel is derived
from the PERF_SAMPLE_ID or PERF_SAMPLE_IDENTIFIER that are potentially
present in all events.

Move fields, like sample_ip, to only be present in sample events. This
avoids errors like getting the sample ip for an mmap event.

Add new accessors for sample event raw_buf, dso, dso_long_name,
dso_bid, map_start, map_end, map_pgoff, symbol, sym_start, sym_end,
srccode and insn.

Minor tweaks to pyrf_evlist__str and pyrf_evsel__str.

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

1. Fixed Uninitialized Memory: In pyrf_event__new , I initialized
   al_resolved to false and called addr_location__init(&pevent->al) to
   prevent using garbage memory.

2. Restored sample_time : Added sample_time back to sample_members to
   avoid breaking scripts that rely on timestamps for non-sample
   events.

3. Fixed NULL Pointer Dereference: Added a NULL check for
   pevent->sample.evsel in pyrf_event__get_evsel() .

4. Fixed Memory Leak in Destructor: Added a call to
   addr_location__exit(&pevent->al) in pyrf_event__delete() to free
   map and thread references acquired during resolution.

5. Fixed Use-After-Free and Cache Corruption in srccode : Used a local
   addr_location in pyrf_sample_event__srccode() instead of
   overwriting pevent->al in place, avoiding dangling pointer issues
   with the thread reference and preserving the cached info.

6. Fix pyrf_evlist__read_on_cpu so that if an unsupported event type
   causes an exception a NoMemory error isn't thrown on top of this.

[PATCH v5 18/58] perf python: Add callchain support

[Ian Rogers]

Implement pyrf_callchain_node and pyrf_callchain types for lazy
iteration over callchain frames. Add callchain property to
sample_event.

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

1. Eager Callchain Resolution: Moved the callchain resolution from
   deferred iteration to eager processing in
   pyrf_session_tool__sample() .  This avoids risks of reading from
   unmapped memory or following dangling pointers to closed sessions.

2. Cached Callchain: Added a callchain field to struct pyrf_event to
   store the resolved object.

3. Simplified Access: pyrf_sample_event__get_callchain() now just
   returns the cached object if available.

4. Avoided Double Free: Handled lazy cleanups properly.

[PATCH v5 20/58] perf python: Extend API for stat events in python.c

[Ian Rogers]

Add stat information to the session. Add call backs for stat events.

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

1. Avoided Name Collision: Renamed the second "type" field in
   pyrf_stat_round_event__members[] to "stat_round_type" to prevent it
   from hiding the event header's type attribute.

2. Fixed Leak and Exception Handling in Callback: Added proper
   reference count handling for the result of PyObject_CallFunction()
   in pyrf_session_tool__stat() , and added an exception check that
   aborts the loop if the Python callback fails.

3. Fixed Leak in Destructor: Added Py_XDECREF(psession->stat); to
   pyrf_session__delete() to release the stat callback reference.

[PATCH v5 21/58] perf python: Expose brstack in sample event

[Ian Rogers]

Implement pyrf_branch_entry and pyrf_branch_stack for lazy
iteration over branch stack entries.

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

1. Avoided Keyword Collision: Renamed the properties "from" and "to"
   to "from_ip" and "to_ip" in pyrf_branch_entry__getset[] to prevent
   syntax errors in Python.

2. Eager Branch Stack Resolution: Updated pyrf_session_tool__sample()
   to allocate and copy the branch stack entries eagerly when the
   event is processed, instead of deferring it to iteration time. This
   avoids reading from potentially overwritten or unmapped mmap
   buffers.

3. Updated Iterators: Updated pyrf_branch_stack and
   pyrf_branch_stack__next() to use the copied entries rather than
   pointing directly to the sample's buffer.

4. Avoided Reference Leak on Init Failure: Added proper error checking
   for PyModule_AddObject() in the module initialization function,
   decrementing references on failure.

[PATCH v5 22/58] perf python: Add perf.pyi stubs file

[Ian Rogers]

Add Python type stubs for the perf module to improve IDE support and
static analysis.  Includes docstrings for classes, methods, and
constants derived from C source and JSON definitions.

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

1. Added Missing Module Functions: Added parse_metrics and
   pmus. Renamed metrics to parse_metrics to match python.c .

2. Added Constructors: Added __init__ methods for data , evsel , and
   evlist with their appropriate arguments.

3. Removed sample_comm : Removed it from sample_event since it is not
   exported in python.c .

4. Keyword Handling in branch_entry : I used from_ip and to_ip in the
   stubs to match the rename I did in python.c (in turn 145) to avoid
   the Python from keyword conflict.

5. Added Missing Event Classes: Added mmap_event , lost_event ,
   comm_event , task_event , throttle_event , read_event , and
   switch_event .

6. Added Missing evlist Methods: Added get_pollfd and add .

7. Updated Return Types: Changed process_events to return int .

[PATCH v5 23/58] perf python: Add LiveSession helper

[Ian Rogers]

Add LiveSession class in tools/perf/python/perf_live.py to support
live event collection using perf.evlist and perf.parse_events,
avoiding the need to fork a separate perf record process.

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

1. Fixed File Descriptor Leak: I moved self.evlist.mmap() inside the
   try block so that if it raises an exception, the finally block will
   still be executed and call self.evlist.close() , preventing file
   descriptor leaks.

2. Handled InterruptedError in poll() : I wrapped the poll() call in a
   try-except block to catch InterruptedError and continue the
   loop. This prevents the live session from crashing on non-fatal
   signals like SIGWINCH .

3. Added evlist.config() : I added a call to self.evlist.config() in
   the constructor after parse_events() . This applies the default
   record options to the events, enabling sampling and setting up
   PERF_SAMPLE_* fields so that the kernel will actually generate
   PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE events.

4. Enable the evlist and be robust to exceptions from reading unsupported
   events like mmap2.

[PATCH v5 24/58] perf python: Move exported-sql-viewer.py and parallel-perf.py to tools/perf/python/

[Ian Rogers]

These scripts are standalone and not using the `perf script` libpython
support. Move to tools/perf/python in an effort to deprecate the
tools/perf/scripts/python support.

Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>

v2:

1. Updated exported-sql-viewer.py : I updated the comments at the top
   of the script to use the new path
   tools/perf/python/exported-sql-viewer.py in the usage examples.

2. Fixed Test Path in script.sh : I updated the path in
   tools/perf/tests/shell/script.sh to point to the new location of
   parallel-perf.py at ../../python/parallel-perf.py .

[PATCH v5 25/58] perf stat-cpi: Port stat-cpi to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

Port stat-cpi.py from the legacy framework to a standalone script.
Support both file processing mode (using perf.session) and live mode
(reading counters directly via perf.parse_events and evsel.read). Use
argparse for command line options handling. Calculate and display CPI
(Cycles Per Instruction) per interval per CPU/thread.

  - Before: The get() method returned the raw counter value directly,
    ignoring whether the counter ran for the full interval.

  - After: The get() method now scales the raw value by the ratio of
    enabled time to running time ( val * (ena / float(run)) ) when run
    > 0 . This handles cases where PMU counters are overcommitted and
    multiplexed.

2. Per-Interval CPI in File Mode:
  - Before: store() saved absolute counter values as read from
    PERF_RECORD_STAT . Since these are cumulative from the start of
    the trace, and data.clear() was called every round, the script
    computed cumulative CPI rather than per-interval CPI.

  - After: store() now computes the delta between the current absolute
    value and the value from the previous interval. It saves this
    delta in self.data and retains the absolute value in self.
    prev_data for the next delta computation.

3. Prevention of Dummy Output (Cartesian Product Fix):
  - Before: self.cpus and self.threads lists accumulated all unique
    CPUs and threads seen independently. The nested loops in
    print_interval() then created a Cartesian product of all seen CPUs
    and threads, querying data for combinations that might never have
    occurred.
  - After: Replaced lists with a self.recorded_pairs set that stores
    (cpu, thread) tuples only when a sample actually records them. The
    output loop now iterates strictly over these verified pairs.

[PATCH v5 27/58] perf syscall-counts: Port syscall-counts to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

Rewrite tools/perf/scripts/python/syscall-counts.py to use the python
module and various style changes. By avoiding the overheads in the
`perf script` execution the performance improves by more than 4x as
shown in the following (with PYTHON_PATH and PERF_EXEC_PATH set as
necessary):

```
$ perf record -e raw_syscalls:sys_enter -a sleep 1
...
$ time perf script tools/perf/scripts/python/syscall-counts.py perf
Install the python-audit package to get syscall names.
For example:
  # apt-get install python3-audit (Ubuntu)
  # yum install python3-audit (Fedora)
  etc.

v2:

1. Fallback for Unknown Syscalls: If perf.syscall_name() returns None
   for an unmapped ID, the script now falls back to using the numeric
   ID string. This prevents a TypeError when applying string alignment
   formatting.

2. Fallback for Syscall Number Attribute: The script now checks for
   __syscall_nr first, and if not present (as on some older kernels),
   falls back to checking for nr .

3. Robust Process Resolution: Added a try-except block around
   session.process(sample.pid).comm() . If the process lookup fails
   (returning NULL/None), it falls back to "unknown" instead of
   letting a TypeError crash the script.

4. Support for Custom Input Files: Added a -i / --input command-line
   argument to allow processing arbitrarily named trace files,
   removing the hardcoded "perf.data" restriction.

[PATCH v5 28/58] perf syscall-counts-by-pid: Port syscall-counts-by-pid to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

Rewrite tools/perf/scripts/python/syscall-counts-by-pid.py to use the
python module and various style changes. By avoiding the overheads in
the `perf script` execution the performance improves by more than 3.8x
as shown in the following (with PYTHON_PATH and PERF_EXEC_PATH set as
necessary):

```
$ perf record -e raw_syscalls:sys_enter -a sleep 1
...
$ time perf script tools/perf/scripts/python/syscall-counts-by-pid.py perf
Install the python-audit package to get syscall names.
For example:
  # apt-get install python3-audit (Ubuntu)
  # yum install python3-audit (Fedora)
  etc.

v2:

1. Removed Unused Variable: Removed id_keys which was assigned but
   never read.

2. Fallback for Unknown Syscalls: If perf.syscall_name() returns None
   for an unmapped ID, it now falls back to the numeric ID string to
   prevent TypeError crashes during string formatting.

3. Fallback for Syscall Number Attribute: It now checks for
   __syscall_nr first, and if missing, falls back to checking for nr .

4. Robust Process Resolution: Added a try-except block around
   session.process(sample.pid).comm() to handle untracked PIDs
   gracefully instead of crashing on a TypeError .

5. Restored PID Filtering: The script now attempts to parse the
   positional argument as an integer to filter by Process ID. If that
   fails, it treats it as a command name (COMM) string to filter by,
   restoring behavior from the original legacy script.

6. Support for Custom Input Files: Added a -i / --input command-line
   argument to support arbitrarily named trace files, removing the
   hardcoded "perf.data" restriction.

v2:

1. Fixed Module Import Failure: Corrected the type annotations from
   [int, int] to Tuple[int, int] .  The previous code would raise a
   TypeError at module import time because lists cannot be used as
   types in dictionary annotations.

2. Prevented Out-Of-Memory Crashes: Replaced the approach of storing
   every single duration in a list with a LockStats class that
   maintains running aggregates (count, total time, min, max). This
   ensures O(1) memory usage per lock/thread pair rather than
   unbounded memory growth.

3. Support for Custom Input Files: Added a -i / --input command-line
   argument to support processing arbitrarily named trace files,
   removing the hardcoded "perf.data" restriction.

4. Robust Process Lookup: Added a check to ensure session is
   initialized before calling session.  process() , preventing
   potential NoneType attribute errors if events are processed during
   initialization.

[PATCH v5 30/58] perf flamegraph: Port flamegraph to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

Add a port of the flamegraph 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. Performance Optimization: Changed Node.children from a list to a
   dictionary, reducing the lookup time in find_or_create_node from
   O(N) to O(1) and avoiding performance bottlenecks on wide call
   graphs.

2. Callchain Fallback: Added a fallback to use the sample's top-level
   symbol or instruction pointer if no callchain is present, ensuring
   the script still generates meaningful output rather than just
   process names.

3. Template Downloading Fix: Corrected the logic handling the
   --allow-download flag and custom HTTP URLs. It no longer warns
   about missing local files when a URL is provided, and won't
   silently overwrite custom URLs with the default one.

4. Output Stream Separation: Moved informational warnings to
   sys.stderr to prevent them from corrupting the resulting HTML/JSON
   file when the user streams the output to stdout (e.g., using -o -
   ).

5. XSS Protection: Added basic HTML entity escaping for < , > , and &
   within the embedded JSON data blocks. This mitigates the risk of
   cross-site scripting if trace data contains maliciously formed
   process or symbol names.

[PATCH v5 31/58] perf gecko: Port gecko to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

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

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.

[PATCH v5 32/58] perf arm-cs-trace-disasm: Port arm-cs-trace-disasm to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

[PATCH v5 33/58] perf check-perf-trace: Port check-perf-trace to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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: Fixed Closure Call: Changed cls.fobj.filter(pid, comm) to
    cls.fobj(pid, comm) . Since fobj is a function (closure) and not a
    class instance, calling .filter() on it would raise an

+Report time spent in memory compaction.
+
+Memory compaction is a feature in the Linux kernel that defragments memory
+by moving used pages to create larger contiguous blocks of free memory. This
+is particularly useful for allocating huge pages.
+
+This script processes trace events related to memory compaction and reports:
+- Total time spent in compaction (stall time).
+- Statistics for page migration (moved vs. failed).
+- Statistics for the free scanner (scanned vs. isolated pages).
+- Statistics for the migration scanner (scanned vs. isolated pages).
+
+Definitions:
+- **Compaction**: Defragmenting memory by moving allocated pages.
+- **Migration**: Moving pages from their current location to free pages found by the free scanner.
+- **Free Scanner**: Scans memory (typically from the end of a zone) to find free pages.
+- **Migration Scanner**: Scans memory (typically from the beginning of a zone)
+  to find pages to move.
+- **Isolated Pages**: Pages that have been temporarily removed from the buddy
+  system for migration or as migration targets.

[PATCH v5 35/58] perf event_analyzing_sample: Port event_analyzing_sample to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

Add a port of the event_analyzing_sample 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.

Assisted-by: Gemini:gemini-3.1-pro-preview

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.

[PATCH v5 36/58] perf export-to-sqlite: Port export-to-sqlite to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

Ported from tools/perf/scripts/python/export-to-sqlite.py to use the
perf Python module API.

Key changes:
- Switched from PySide2.QtSql to standard library sqlite3 for database
  operations.
- Implemented lazy population of lookup tables (threads, comms, dsos,
  symbols) from sample data.
- Added callchain support for building call paths.

v2:

1. Restored samples_view : Added the CREATE VIEW IF NOT EXISTS
   samples_view statement to create_tables() , restoring compatibility
   with tools like exported-sql-viewer.py .

2. Fixed Fallbacks: Updated getattr calls for DSO and symbol names to
  use or "Unknown_..."  to handle cases where the C extension returns
  None instead of raising an AttributeError .

3. Event Name Accuracy: Used getattr(sample.evsel, 'name', ...)  to
   get the raw event name instead of str(sample.evsel) which returns
   evsel(name) .

4. Fixed Race Condition: Used os.open with os.O_CREAT | os.O_EXCL to
   securely create the database file and fail if it already exists,
   avoiding a TOCTOU race condition.

5. Fixed Cleanup Order: Ensured the database connection is closed
   before attempting to delete the file on error.

+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 v5 37/58] perf export-to-postgresql: Port export-to-postgresql to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

Ported from tools/perf/scripts/python/export-to-postgresql.py to use
the perf Python module API.

Key changes:
- Removed PySide2 dependency by using libpq via ctypes for all DB
  operations (DDL and COPY).
- Kept the high-performance binary file generation and COPY FROM STDIN
  approach.
- Implemented lazy population of lookup tables from sample data.

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

1. Dynamic Library Loading: Used ctypes.util.find_library("pq") to
   locate the PostgreSQL client library, making it more portable.

2. COPY Cleanup: Added a loop to call PQgetResult() until it returns
   None after PQputCopyEnd() , properly clearing the connection state
   and avoiding "command in progress" errors.

3. SQL Injection / Hyphen Fix: Added double quotes around the database
   name in the CREATE DATABASE query.

4. Fixed struct.pack Error: Added missing length prefixes for fields
  in write_sample to match the format string required by PostgreSQL's
  binary COPY format.

5. Fixed Cache Logic: Added a separate cache for comm_threads to
  ensure associations are written even when threads share a command
  name.

6. Fixed File I/O Order: Moved close_output_file() to happen after
   copy_output_file() .

7. Added Cleanup on Failure: Added logic to clean up the temporary
   directory if an exception occurs during processing, using
   shutil.rmtree .

+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 v5 38/58] perf failed-syscalls-by-pid: Port failed-syscalls-by-pid to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

Ported from tools/perf/scripts/python/failed-syscalls-by-pid.py to use
the perf Python module API.

Key changes:
- Used perf.syscall_name() to resolve syscall names instead of legacy
  Util library.
- Used standard collections.defaultdict for nested statistics
  aggregation.
- Used errno.errorcode for resolving error strings.
- Supported optional filtering by COMM or PID via command line
  arguments.

v2: Fixed Syscall Name Fallback: Handled the case where
    perf.syscall_name() returns None , falling back to the string
    representation of the syscall ID to avoid TypeError during string
    formatting.

[PATCH v5 39/58] perf intel-pt-events: Port intel-pt-events/libxed to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

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 v5 40/58] perf net_dropmonitor: Port net_dropmonitor to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

Assisted-by: Gemini:gemini-3.1-pro-preview

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 v5 42/58] perf powerpc-hcalls: Port powerpc-hcalls to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

[PATCH v5 43/58] perf sched-migration: Port sched-migration/SchedGui to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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 v5 44/58] perf sctop: Port sctop to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

Port sctop.py from tools/perf/scripts/python/ to tools/perf/python/,
refactoring it to use a class-based structure (SCTopAnalyzer) and the
perf.session API.

Also add support for live mode using the LiveSession helper when no
input file is specified, with a fallback strategy for tracepoint names
(raw_syscalls:sys_enter or syscalls:sys_enter) to support different
systems.

v2:

 - Fixed Missing Final Batch: Extracted the printing logic into a
   dedicated print_current_totals() method. Updated
   print_syscall_totals() to call this method one last time after the
   stop_event is set, ensuring that events accumulated since the last
   interval are not dropped.
 - Fixed Offline Mode Intervals:
   - Added an offline flag to SCTopAnalyzer to distinguish between
     live and offline modes.
   - In offline mode ( -i option), instead of relying on a wall-clock
     timer in a background thread, process_event() now checks the
     sample timestamp ( sample.time ). It triggers a print when the
     trace time advances by the specified interval.
   - Only starts the background thread when running in live mode.
   - Ensured the final batch is printed in the finally block for
     offline mode.

[PATCH v5 45/58] perf stackcollapse: Port stackcollapse to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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 v5 46/58] perf task-analyzer: Port task-analyzer to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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 v5 47/58] perf failed-syscalls: Port failed-syscalls to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

[PATCH v5 48/58] perf rw-by-file: Port rw-by-file to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

Assisted-by: Gemini:gemini-3.1-pro-preview

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.

[PATCH v5 49/58] perf rw-by-pid: Port rw-by-pid to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

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.

[PATCH v5 50/58] perf rwtop: Port rwtop to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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 v5 51/58] perf wakeup-latency: Port wakeup-latency to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

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 v5 52/58] perf test: Migrate Intel PT virtual LBR test to use Python API

[Ian Rogers]

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.

[PATCH v5 53/58] perf: Remove libperl support, legacy Perl scripts and tests

[Ian Rogers]

This commit removes embedded Perl interpreter support from perf, as all
legacy Perl scripts have been ported to Python or are no longer needed.

Changes include:
- Removal of libperl feature detection and flags from Makefile.config.
- Removal of Perl script installation rules from Makefile.perf.
- Removal of build rules for trace-event-perl.o and Perf-Trace-Util.
- Deletion of tools/perf/util/scripting-engines/trace-event-perl.c.
- Removal of Perl scripting operations and setup from
  trace-event-scripting.c.
- Removal of setup_perl_scripting() call from builtin-script.c and
  declaration from trace-event.h.
- Removal of Perl checks in the script browser (scripts.c).
- Removal of libperl from the supported features list in
  builtin-check.c and Documentation/perf-check.txt.
- Removal of make_libperl target from tests/make.
- Deletion of the entire tools/perf/scripts/perl directory containing
  legacy Perl scripts.
- Removal of tools/perf/tests/shell/script_perl.sh test.

v2:

1. In tools/perf/ui/browsers/scripts.c : I added an unconditional skip
   for the "perl" directory in find_scripts() . This ensures that even
   if stale Perl scripts are left over in the installation directory,
   they will not appear in the TUI script browser.

2. In tools/perf/Makefile.config : I removed the dangling $(call
   detected_var,PERL_EMBED_CCOPTS) line at the end of the file, so it
   no longer exports that undefined variable to the configuration.

-Perf-Trace-Util version 0.01
-============================
-
-This module contains utility functions for use with perf script.
-
-Core.pm and Util.pm are pure Perl modules; Core.pm contains routines
-that the core perf support for Perl calls on and should always be
-'used', while Util.pm contains useful but optional utility functions
-that scripts may want to use.  Context.pm contains the Perl->C
-interface that allows scripts to access data in the embedding perf
-executable; scripts wishing to do that should 'use Context.pm'.
-
-The Perl->C perf interface is completely driven by Context.xs.  If you
-want to add new Perl functions that end up accessing C data in the
-perf executable, you add desciptions of the new functions here.
-scripting_context is a pointer to the perf data in the perf executable
-that you want to access - it's passed as the second parameter,
-$context, to all handler functions.
-
-After you do that:
-
-  perl Makefile.PL   # to create a Makefile for the next step
-  make               # to create Context.c
-
-  edit Context.c to add const to the char* file = __FILE__ line in
-  XS(boot_Perf__Trace__Context) to silence a warning/error.
-
-  You can delete the Makefile, object files and anything else that was
-  generated e.g. blib and shared library, etc, except for of course
-  Context.c
-
-  You should then be able to run the normal perf make as usual.
-
-INSTALLATION
-
-Building perf with perf script Perl scripting should install this
-module in the right place.
-
-You should make sure libperl and ExtUtils/Embed.pm are installed first
-e.g. apt-get install libperl-dev or yum install perl-ExtUtils-Embed.
-
-DEPENDENCIES
-
-This module requires these other modules and libraries:
-

[PATCH v5 54/58] perf: Remove libpython support and legacy Python scripts

[Ian Rogers]

This commit removes embedded Python interpreter support from perf, as
all legacy Python scripts have been ported to standalone Python
scripts or are no longer needed.

Changes include:
- Removal of libpython detection and flags from Makefile.config.
- Removal of Python script installation rules from Makefile.perf.
- Deletion of tools/perf/util/scripting-engines/trace-event-python.c.
- Removal of Python scripting operations and setup from
  trace-event-scripting.c.
- Removal of setup_python_scripting() call from builtin-script.c and
  declaration from trace-event.h.
- Removal of Python checks in the script browser (scripts.c).
- Removal of libpython from the supported features list in builtin-check.c
  and Documentation/perf-check.txt.
- Deletion of the legacy Python scripts in tools/perf/scripts/python.

-# Below are some example commands for using this script.
-# Note a --kcore recording is required for accurate decode
-# due to the alternatives patching mechanism. However this
-# script only supports reading vmlinux for disassembly dump,
-# meaning that any patched instructions will appear
-# as unpatched, but the instruction ranges themselves will
-# be correct. In addition to this, source line info comes
-# from Perf, and when using kcore there is no debug info. The
-# following lists the supported features in each mode:
-#
-# +-----------+-----------------+------------------+------------------+
-# | Recording | Accurate decode | Source line dump | Disassembly dump |
-# +-----------+-----------------+------------------+------------------+
-# | --kcore   | yes             | no               | yes              |

-#
-# 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'.
-#
-#	calls
-#
-#		'calls' represents function calls and is related to 'samples' by 'call_id' and 'return_id'.
-#		'calls' is only created when the 'calls' option to this script is specified.
-#
-#	call_paths
-#
-#		'call_paths' represents all the call stacks.  Each 'call' has an associated record in 'call_paths'.
-#		'calls_paths' is only created when the 'calls' option to this script is specified.
-#
-#	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:
-#
-#		calls_view
-#		call_paths_view
-#		comm_threads_view
-#		dsos_view
-#		machines_view
-#		samples_view
-#		symbols_view
-#		threads_view
-#
-# More examples of browsing the database with psql:
-#   Note that some of the examples are not the most optimal SQL query.
-#   Note that call information is only available if the script's 'calls' option has been used.
-#
-#	Top 10 function calls (not aggregated by symbol):
-#
-#		SELECT * FROM calls_view ORDER BY elapsed_time DESC LIMIT 10;
-#
-#	Top 10 function calls (aggregated by symbol):
-#
-#		SELECT symbol_id,(SELECT name FROM symbols WHERE id = symbol_id) AS symbol,
-#			SUM(elapsed_time) AS tot_elapsed_time,SUM(branch_count) AS tot_branch_count

-# 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.
-#
-# The database structure is practically the same as created by the script
-# export-to-postgresql.py. Refer to that script for details.  A notable
-# difference is  the 'transaction' column of the 'samples' table which is
-# renamed 'transaction_' in sqlite because 'transaction' is a reserved word.

[PATCH v5 55/58] perf Makefile: Update Python script installation path

[Ian Rogers]

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 v5 56/58] perf script: Refactor to support standalone scripts and remove legacy features

[Ian Rogers]

- 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.

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

-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.
+This section shows how to create a simple Python script that reads a
+`perf.data` file and prints event information.
 
-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):
+Create a file named `print_events.py` with the following content:

-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:
+#!/usr/bin/env python3
+import perf
 
-- 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.
+def process_event(sample):
+    print(f"Event: {sample.evsel} on CPU {sample.sample_cpu} at {sample.sample_time}")
 
-- 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:
+# Open the session with perf.data file
+session = perf.session(perf.data("perf.data"), sample=process_event)
 
+# Process all events
+session.process_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) ]
+Make the script executable:
 ----
-
-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).
-
+$ chmod +x print_events.py

-----
-
-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:
-
+Run the script:
 ----
-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):
+$ perf script print_events.py
 ----
 
-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:
-
+Or run it directly with Python, ensuring `perf.so` is in your `PYTHONPATH`:
 ----
-  syscalls = autodict()
-
-  try:
-    syscalls[id] += 1
-  except TypeError:
-    syscalls[id] = 1
+$ PYTHONPATH=/path/to/perf/python python3 print_events.py
 ----
 
-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):
-
-----
-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 *
-from Util import *
-
-syscalls = autodict()
-
-def trace_end():
-	print_syscall_totals()
-
-def raw_syscalls__sys_enter(event_name, context, common_cpu,
-	common_secs, common_nsecs, common_pid, common_comm,
-	id, args):
-	try:
-		syscalls[id] += 1
-	except TypeError:
-		syscalls[id] = 1
-
-def print_syscall_totals():
-    if for_comm is not None:
-	    print "\nsyscall events for %s:\n\n" % (for_comm),
-    else:
-	    print "\nsyscall events:\n\n",
-
-    print "%-40s  %10s\n" % ("event", "count"),
-    print "%-40s  %10s\n" % ("----------------------------------------", \
-                                 "-----------"),
-
-    for id, val in sorted(syscalls.iteritems(), key = lambda(k, v): (v, k), \
-				  reverse = True):
-	    print "%-40s  %10d\n" % (syscall_name(id), val),
-----
-
-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:
-
-----
-# cat kernel-source/tools/perf/scripts/python/bin/syscall-counts-report
-
-#!/bin/bash
-# description: system-wide syscall counts
-perf script -s ~/libexec/perf-core/scripts/python/syscall-counts.py
-----
-
-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:
-
-----
-# ls -al kernel-source/tools/perf/scripts/python
-total 32
-drwxr-xr-x 4 trz trz 4096 2010-01-26 22:30 .
-drwxr-xr-x 4 trz trz 4096 2010-01-26 22:29 ..
-drwxr-xr-x 2 trz trz 4096 2010-01-26 22:29 bin
--rw-r--r-- 1 trz trz 2548 2010-01-26 22:29 check-perf-script.py
-drwxr-xr-x 3 trz trz 4096 2010-01-26 22:49 Perf-Trace-Util
--rw-r--r-- 1 trz trz 1462 2010-01-26 22:30 syscall-counts.py
-----
-
-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:
-
-----
-# 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
-----
-
-You can now perform the record step via 'perf script record':
-
-  # perf script record syscall-counts
-
-and display the output using 'perf script report':
-
-  # 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)`: Turns a syscall number to a string.
+- `syscall_id(name)`: 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.
 
-Currently supported fields:
+### `perf.data`
 
-ev_name, comm, id, stream_id, pid, tid, cpu, ip, time, period, phys_addr,
-addr, symbol, symoff, dso, time_enabled, time_running, values, callchain,
-brstack, brstacksym, datasrc, datasrc_decode, iregs, uregs,
-weight, transaction, raw_buf, attr, cpumode.
+Represents a trace file.
 
-Fields that may also be present:
+- `__init__(filename, mode=perf.DATA_MODE_READ)`: Opens a trace file.
 
- flags - sample flags
- flags_disp - sample flags display
- insn_cnt - instruction count for determining instructions-per-cycle (IPC)
- cyc_cnt - cycle count for determining IPC
- addr_correlates_sym - addr can correlate to a symbol
- addr_dso - addr dso
- addr_symbol - addr symbol
- addr_symoff - addr symbol offset
+### Sample Object
 
-Some fields have sub items:
+Passed to the callback function in `perf.session`.
 
-brstack:
-    from, to, from_dsoname, to_dsoname, mispred,
-    predicted, in_tx, abort, cycles.
+- `evsel`: The event selector (name of the event).
+- `sample_cpu`: The CPU on which the event occurred.
+- `sample_time`: The timestamp of the event.
+- `sample_pid`: The PID of the process.
+- `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"])

Re: [PATCH v5 40/58] perf net_dropmonitor: Port net_dropmonitor to use python module

[sashiko-bot]

Sashiko AI review found 2 potential issue(s):
- [High] Functional regression: script incorrectly aggregates drops by the sample instruction pointer instead of the drop location, and missing kallsyms parsing contradicts the commit message.
- [Medium] Dead code in `process_event` due to catching `AttributeError` from a `getattr` call that provides a default value.

perf net_dropmonitor: Port net_dropmonitor to use python module

This commit ports the net_dropmonitor script to use a Python module,
refactoring it to use a class structure and perf.session for event
processing.

>     - Maintained the manual /proc/kallsyms reading and binary search for
>       symbol resolution as in the original script.

The commit message states that manual /proc/kallsyms reading and binary search
for symbol resolution is maintained. Is this description accurate? Looking at
the script, this logic appears to have been removed entirely.

Does this correctly identify the drop locations? By using sample.symbol and
sample.symoff, it appears the script resolves the instruction pointer where
the sample was taken (which will likely always point to kfree_skb itself).

Should this be extracting the raw drop address from the event's "location"
payload field instead, to accurately report where the packets were dropped?

> +            self.drop_log[(symbol, symoff)] += 1

Can this exception handler ever be reached? Because getattr() is called above
with default values ("[unknown]" and 0), it will return the default instead of
raising an AttributeError when the attribute is missing.

perf failed-syscalls-by-pid: Port failed-syscalls-by-pid to use python module

This commit ports the failed-syscalls-by-pid script to the perf Python
module API. It updates syscall name resolution, error string resolution,
and adds support for command-line filtering by comm or pid.

>     - Used standard collections.defaultdict for nested statistics
>       aggregation.

Is this description accurate? The implementation uses a flat dictionary
keyed by a 4-tuple rather than nested aggregation.

Could session.process(pid) raise a TypeError if the PID cannot be resolved
in the thread map? If so, this might crash the script when it encounters
an unresolved PID instead of safely falling back to "Unknown".

Will this bypass the filter if the user intends to filter by PID 0 (the swapper
task), since self.for_pid evaluates to False? Would it be better to explicitly
check if self.for_pid is not None?

The script populates self.unhandled here, but it doesn't appear to be used
in print_summary() or anywhere else. Was the intention to display these
unhandled events in the summary?

perf syscall-counts-by-pid: Port syscall-counts-by-pid to use python module

This commit rewrites the syscall-counts-by-pid.py script to utilize the perf
python module directly. By bypassing the overhead of standard perf script
execution, it yields significant performance improvements.

This isn't a bug, but the docstring only mentions filtering by comm. Should
it be updated to also document the PID filtering capability that the script
provides?

Does this filtering logic work correctly when targeting PID 0 (the
swapper/idle process)?

In Python, the integer 0 evaluates as false, which means the condition
evaluates to false and bypasses the check entirely when filtering for PID 0.
As a result, the script aggregates syscalls for all processes rather than
filtering just for PID 0.

Would it be better to explicitly check if for_pid is not None to ensure PID 0
is properly filtered?

perf mem-phys-addr: Port mem-phys-addr to use python module

This commit adds an example script demonstrating the perf python API to
load a perf.data file and resolve physical address samples based on
/proc/iomem.

The built-in collection parameterization using list[IomemEntry] and
set[IomemEntry] was introduced in Python 3.9.

Will this script crash with a TypeError on systems running older Python
environments like Python 3.8?

The key parameter for bisect.bisect_right() was added in Python 3.10.

Does this create a strict dependency on Python 3.10+?

> +        if position is None:

The bisect_right function always returns an integer, so checking for None
appears to be dead code.

> +        iomem_entry = iomem[i][position-1]

If phys_addr is strictly less than the first element's begin address,
bisect_right returns 0.

Does this cause position - 1 to evaluate to -1, which then inadvertently
accesses the last element of the iomem[i] list?

> +        if  iomem_entry.begin <= phys_addr <= iomem_entry.end:

Since find_memory_type() is called for every single sample in the dataset,
won't this print statement heavily spam standard output if a dataset contains
many unmapped physical addresses?

If a user runs the script on a perf dataset recorded without --phys-data,
sample_phys_addr may default to 0.

Without validating if physical addresses are actually present in the samples,
could this silently attribute all such samples to whatever memory range
contains address 0?

This isn't a bug, but standard practice dictates that a source file should
include its corresponding local header file first to guarantee that the header
is self-contained.

Was the generic utility header ../../../util/cs-etm.h mistakenly placed here
at the top instead of the local primary header "cs-etm.h" due to a name
collision?

Does PQgetResult need to check PQresultStatus here? It looks like if a

When calling write_comm_thread, is the first parameter intended to be
comm_id?

Looking at write_comm_thread, the first parameter is comm_thread_id. If
comm_id is passed as the primary key here, threads that share the same
command might create rows with duplicate IDs. Could this cause a constraint
violation when the primary key is added later?

Should this use a separate counter for sample IDs instead of
self.next_id['event']? Because get_event_id also increments
self.next_id['event'], this might unintentionally interleave the IDs
for samples and events.

Is it intentional to call copy_output_file before close_output_file?

Looking at close_output_file, it writes the mandatory PostgreSQL binary
trailer to the file. If copy_output_file streams the data to the database
first, won't the stream lack the EOF marker and cause PostgreSQL to abort
the copy command?

If an exception occurs during setup_db (for example, if the database
already exists), does the script terminate immediately and bypass the
cleanup in the finally block?

It looks like this might leave orphaned temporary directories on the
disk since the try/finally block starts after setup_db.

perf event_analyzing_sample: Port event_analyzing_sample to use python module

Does setting the isolation level to None cause a performance regression now
that the default database path has changed to a persistent disk?

With the default path changing from /dev/shm/perf.db to perf.db,
disabling implicit transactions means every insert statement executes
as its own transaction. This forces a disk sync for every single event
and can cause massive overhead for typical traces.

Would it be better to remove this isolation level setting and explicitly
commit the transaction in trace_end() instead?

Could this exception block miss an OverflowError on 64-bit unsigned integers?

If the event status has bit 63 set, the sqlite3 driver will raise an
OverflowError since it natively supports up to 64-bit signed integers.
Since OverflowError inherits from ArithmeticError, it bypasses this catch
block and terminates the processing loop prematurely.

Can raw_buf be too small or empty here?

The exception handler in do_process_event() defaults raw_buf to b""
if the sample lacks raw data. Calling struct.unpack_from() on an empty
buffer might raise a struct.error and immediately abort the trace session.

Are length checks needed here as well? Unlike print_cbr() which explicitly
checks if len(raw_buf) is sufficient, functions like print_pwre(),
print_exstop(), and print_evt() appear to unpack without validating the
length of raw_buf.

Will this crash with a ValueError? Python f-strings do not support the 'u'
format specifier for integers. Because common_start_str() is called for
most events, this might crash unconditionally on the very first event
processed.

Does Python allow the '-' sign modifier in string format specifiers? It
looks like this might raise a ValueError, and perhaps '<' should be used
for left alignment instead.

Is the --all-switch-events feature still functional after porting to the
standalone perf.session API?

It looks like self.switch_str is never populated because the new session
only registers a sample callback, losing the legacy context_switch callback
that previously recorded switch events.

Does this constructor need the remaining keyword arguments defined in the
C extension? 

The underlying kwlist defines 29 distinct arguments, but this stub only
lists 19. Missing arguments like inherit_stat, enable_on_exec, task,
watermark, and precise_ip might cause static analysis tools and IDEs to flag
valid code.

Should this class also define attributes like sample_tid, sample_ip,

The C extension exports these, so their omission might negatively affect

perf syscall-counts: Port syscall-counts to use python module

This commit rewrites the tools/perf/scripts/python/syscall-counts.py script
to use the Python module directly. This avoids the overhead of executing via
perf script, improving performance significantly.

Can perf.syscall_name() raise an OverflowError if tracepoint parsing fails
and sc_id ends up holding the 64-bit generic perf event ID from the
getattr(sample, "id", -1) call?

The C extension expects a 32-bit integer, and an uncaught exception would
crash the script.

Is it possible for events recorded with modifiers (like
perf record -e raw_syscalls:sys_enter:k) to be missed here?

The exact string match would evaluate to false for
evsel(raw_syscalls:sys_enter:k) and silently ignore valid events.

Does this condition break compatibility with older environments that use the
generic syscalls:sys_enter fallback event?

The trailing underscore in the startswith() check prevents matching the base
event evsel(syscalls:sys_enter), causing these fallback events to be
dropped.

Could proc.comm() trigger a SystemError if a thread lacks a resolved command
string?

If thread__comm_str() returns null, passing it to PyUnicode_FromString()
in the C extension natively raises a SystemError in CPython, which is not
caught by the current except block.

Will this early return drop valid lock contention events if the process name
cannot be resolved?

It looks like if session.process(tid) or process.comm() raises a TypeError
or AttributeError, we exit handle_start() entirely and skip recording the
start time for the wait event.

Since the final reporting loop safely handles missing process names by
defaulting to unknown via process_names.get(t, 'unknown'), should this
exception handler just fall through instead of returning?

Could this crash when encountering short-lived or untracked threads?

The underlying Python C extension raises a TypeError if the thread is not

Should this also use sample.sample_tid instead of sample.sample_pid to
correctly look up non-leader threads?

Will this substring match inadvertently catch evsel(kmem:kmalloc_node) events?

Using exact equality, similar to the irq:softirq_entry check above, might
prevent kmalloc_node events from bypassing trace_unhandled() and misreporting

perf rwtop: Port rwtop to use python module

This commit ports the legacy rwtop.pl Perl script to a Python script
using the perf module. It leverages the perf.session API for event
processing to display system-wide read and write call activity periodically.

Is this description accurate?

Looking at print_totals() in the code, there do not appear to be any ANSI
escape sequences emitted. This results in the terminal scrolling continuously
instead of clearing.

Will process names resolve correctly in live mode?

When running with the LiveSession path in main(), self.session is never
initialized. It appears this will always fall back to printing the PID instead
of the command name.

Does this incorrectly classify EOF as an error?

A return value of 0 indicates End-Of-File for reads, which is a normal
operational state, whereas actual syscall errors return negative values.

Similarly for writes, a return value of 0 indicates 0 bytes written.

Should this be checking for ret >= 0 instead, or strictly tracking negative
values as errors?

Will this result in missing process names for syscalls that span across
interval boundaries?

Because the dictionaries are cleared completely, if a sys_exit event arrives
in the new interval without a preceding sys_enter, the defaultdict will
recreate the entry with an empty string for comm. The summary table might
then display a blank command name for that pid.

Are these fallback tracepoint names valid?

The raw_syscalls subsystem only exposes generic sys_enter and sys_exit
tracepoints. It does not append the syscall name, so attempting to attach
to raw_syscalls:sys_enter_read will fail.

Does moving these scripts without updating tools/perf/Makefile.perf break the
installation step and cause this test to skip?

Prior to this patch, Makefile.perf copied scripts/python/*.py to the
installation directory. Since the Makefile isn't updated in this commit, the
scripts are omitted from make install.

When perf test runs from an installed tree, it expects to find
parallel-perf.py at the installed python/ directory. Since the installation is
missing, the test silently skips.

I see this is fixed in a later commit 00f5f415c2dee0 ("perf Makefile: Update
Python script installation path"), but does leaving the Makefile out of this
commit break bisectability?

Does this filter behave correctly when specifically filtering for PID 0?

If a user explicitly requests to filter only PID 0 by passing "0" or "0-0",
high_str evaluates to "0", making high = 0.

Since high == 0 is used as a sentinel condition for no upper limit, the
condition (high == 0) evaluates to True. This simplifies the logic to
not (pid >= 0). 

Since all PIDs are >= 0, the expression returns False for every PID,
bypassing the filter entirely and including all processes.

Will this code safely handle cases where the thread metadata is missing?

In the underlying C API wrapper pyrf_session__process(), if the requested
thread is not found in the session's machine thread lists, it explicitly sets
a TypeError.

Since this call isn't wrapped in a try/except block, the exception propagates
back to the C caller. The C callback prints the exception traceback and
returns -1, which abruptly terminates the entire process_events() loop.

Can accessing these tracepoint fields directly on the sample object
cause an unhandled AttributeError?

These properties are resolved dynamically by pyrf_sample_event__getattro
using libtraceevent. If libtraceevent fails to resolve the field, it sets an
AttributeError.

Similar to the thread lookup issue, this exception would be uncaught and
propagate back to C, causing the loop to abort prematurely. Could this be
updated to use getattr() to safely retrieve the fields with a fallback?

Do the sample_members macros expose uninitialized memory here? Unlike
sample events where evsel__parse_sample() initializes the pevent->sample
structure, stat events are created with PyObject_New() which does not
zero-initialize the memory.

If a Python script accesses any sample_* attribute on a stat event, could
this read uninitialized C heap memory?

Does this offset calculation corrupt the Python object header?

The member_def macro correctly calculates offsets from the base of the
allocated Python object by adding offsetof(struct pyrf_event, event).

By omitting the base offset for struct pyrf_event, reading or writing
stat_round_type in Python might write directly into the PyObject_HEAD fields.

Since psession->stat is used here with one argument ("O"), but
pyrf_session_tool__stat calls it with two arguments ("Os"), will this cause
a TypeError in Python when a single callback function is registered for
both events?

Also, should the return value of PyObject_CallFunction() be checked and
decremented?

It returns a new reference on success which seems to leak since Py_DECREF()
is not called.

Additionally, if the Python callback raises an exception, the function
returns NULL. Without a check and a call to PyErr_Print(), the Python
interpreter might remain in an error state.

perf export-to-sqlite: Port export-to-sqlite to use python module

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.

Are we inserting the OS pid into the process_id column here?

Looking at the database schema, the process_id column acts as a foreign key
pointing to the database-generated id of the process's main thread, not the
OS pid.

Since the auto-increment id space does not intersect with the OS pid
space, will this break downstream queries that attempt to group threads by
joining process_id = threads.id?

> +            return self.caches['comms'][comm]

Does caching exclusively by the command string cause relational data loss for
comm_threads?

When multiple distinct threads execute the same command string, the cache
will return a hit for the first thread's comm_id.

This bypasses the INSERT INTO comm_threads execution for all subsequent
threads, omitting them from the comm_threads table entirely.

Does using only short_name as the cache key risk discarding the long_name
and build_id?

If a DSO is first encountered during a callchain traversal where those
fields are missing, future lookups for the same short_name will return
the cached ID without updating the database with the missing fields.

Will this result in callchain entries always being recorded as 'Unknown_dso'
and 'Unknown_symbol'?

In the perf Python API, pyrf_callchain_node__get_dso and
pyrf_callchain_node__get_symbol return Python strings, not objects.

Since Python strings do not have a name attribute, the getattr() calls here
will always fail and default to the unknown strings.

> +        ))

Are we querying the correct attributes from the perf.sample_event object?

The perf Python C-extension exposes these attributes with a sample_ prefix,
such as sample_insn_count, sample_cyc_count, and sample_data_src.

Because getattr(sample, 'insn_count', 0) and similar calls omit the prefix,
they will silently return the default value of 0. Furthermore, fields like
sym_offset, transaction_, in_tx, and flags are not exposed by the API at all,
which might lead to silent loss of critical performance metrics and
transaction data.

Additionally, does this hardcoding drop support for branch samples?

The legacy script extracted branch data elements, but here the to_dso,
to_symbol, to_sym_offset, to_ip, and branch_type fields are hardcoded to 0.
The perf Python API exposes sample.brstack via pyrf_sample_event__get_brstack,
but it appears to be ignored here, which might break downstream branch tracing
visualization.

Is there a race condition between closing the file and opening the database?

The script safely creates the file with os.open(..., O_CREAT | O_EXCL) but
immediately closes the file descriptor.

It then delegates the database connection to sqlite3.connect() via the
DatabaseExporter constructor, which re-opens the file by path and follows
symlinks.

If executed in a shared directory like /tmp, could an attacker delete the
newly created file and replace it with a symlink before the connect() runs,
causing the SQLite initialization queries to overwrite the target file?

perf netdev-times: Port netdev-times to use python module

This patch refactors the netdev-times python script to use a class structure
to encapsulate state. It updates the script to use perf.session for event
collection, extracting tracepoint fields directly from sample attributes and
processing them in time order.

If name does not start with "evsel(", event_data['name'] is normalized
to the raw name, but the field extraction checks below use the un-normalized
name variable. Will this cause the if/elif chain to be skipped entirely?

If the if/elif chain is skipped, handlers like handle_irq_handler_entry()
will still be called by handle_single_event(event_data) but will try to
access unpopulated fields like event['irq'], causing a KeyError.

Could the field extraction logic use the normalized event_data['name']
instead?

Does the skb_copy_datagram_iovec tracepoint use skblen as the field name?

Looking at include/trace/events/skb.h, the field is defined as len. Will
getattr(sample, "skblen", 0) silently return 0 for every event, dropping
the length statistics?

Does this local HTTP server expose the entire current working directory to
all local users?

Since CORSRequestHandler inherits from SimpleHTTPRequestHandler, it appears
to serve all files and subdirectories of the current working directory by
default on the local network interface.

If the script is executed as root from a sensitive directory, could a local
unprivileged user on the same machine query the ephemeral port on 127.0.0.1
and download arbitrary files while the server runs?

Also, does the CORS header unconditionally allow https://profiler.firefox.com
to read any files served from this directory?

Will linking the perf Python module fail with undefined references to
syscalltbl__name and syscalltbl__id when built without libtraceevent?

In tools/perf/util/Build, syscalltbl.o is conditionally built depending on
CONFIG_TRACE (perf-util-$(CONFIG_TRACE) += syscalltbl.o), which is disabled
when perf is built without libtraceevent (e.g., via NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1).

Since there are no stub implementations for these functions in syscalltbl.h,
it appears building the Python extension on systems lacking libtraceevent
will fail with linker errors.

Does this inadvertently drop raw_syscalls:sys_exit events?

The raw_syscalls subsystem provides a catch-all exit tracepoint named
exactly raw_syscalls:sys_exit, so the stringified evsel is
evsel(raw_syscalls:sys_exit). Because the startswith check includes a
trailing underscore, it seems it will evaluate to false and drop these
events.

perf rw-by-pid: Port rw-by-pid to use python module

This commit ports the legacy Perl rw-by-pid script to Python. It introduces
a class-based architecture that uses the perf.session API to track read and
write activity by process ID.

> Complications:
> - Refactored process_event to extract helper methods
>   (_handle_sys_enter_read, etc.) to reduce the number of branches and
>   satisfy pylint.

Does this portion of the commit message accurately reflect the changes? It
mentions extracting helper methods like _handle_sys_enter_read, but the
implementation uses a single monolithic method with a pylint disable comment
instead.

Does the perf.evsel object expose a name attribute?

Looking at the python C API bindings, it appears only attributes like ids,
config, and type are exposed. If this raises an AttributeError, the script
will crash on the first event.

Additionally, if this were bypassed by using str(sample.evsel), which returns
a string like evsel(syscalls:sys_enter_read), would the subsequent string
matching in the if/elif branches fail? The branches check for exact matches
like "syscalls:sys_enter_read", so the events might be silently ignored.

perf powerpc-hcalls: Port powerpc-hcalls to use python module

This commit ports the powerpc-hcalls script to use a Python module structure.
It introduces the HCallAnalyzer class to encapsulate state and processes events
using perf.session to track hypervisor call statistics.

Does using sample_pid correctly track concurrent hypercalls for multi-threaded
virtualization workloads?

In Linux perf, sample_pid corresponds to the Thread Group ID (Process ID).
Virtualization software like QEMU executes multiple Virtual CPUs as separate
threads within the same process, meaning all VCPUs share the same sample_pid.

If concurrent hypercalls execute on different VCPUs, wouldn't they overwrite
each other's timestamps in the d_enter dictionary? 

Could this instead use sample_tid or sample_cpu to safely isolate concurrent
operations like the legacy script did?

> +        time = sample.time

Will this script encounter an AttributeError when accessing the timestamp?

In the perf Python extension bindings in tools/perf/util/python.c, the event
timestamp is exposed as sample_time, not time. It appears assigning
time = sample.time will raise an exception on the first processed sample.

perf flamegraph: Port flamegraph to use python module

This commit adds a port of the flamegraph script that uses the perf
python module directly. This approach improves performance by avoiding
intermediate dictionaries for event fields.

Does this comparison drop all filtered events? The Python extension's
implementation of str(evsel) returns a string formatted with parentheses,
such as "evsel(cycles)".

Comparing "evsel(cycles)" to the provided event name like "cycles" will
always evaluate to false, causing the script to silently drop events and
produce an empty flamegraph.

Will getattr() return None here when a symbol cannot be resolved? The C Python
extension explicitly returns Py_RETURN_NONE for unresolved symbols.

Since the symbol attribute exists but evaluates to None without raising an
AttributeError, getattr() will return None instead of the "[unknown]" fallback.

This None value propagates to the node initialization and serializes as null
in the JSON output. The d3-flame-graph frontend expects the node name to be a
string and throws a TypeError, breaking the UI.

Does printing output_str here enable terminal escape injection attacks? When
the downloaded template fails its integrity check, the unverified payload is
embedded directly into the prompt.

Because input() inherently writes its prompt string directly to the terminal,
any malicious ANSI escape sequences in a compromised payload will execute
before the user can even answer the prompt.

Additionally, if the user redirects output to stdout using "-o -", does this
write the interactive prompt directly into the output payload while hanging
the script indefinitely waiting for stdin?

Could this crash the script if a thread cannot be found or if its comm
string is missing?

If the underlying C API (pyrf_session__process) fails to find the thread
for the given PID, it explicitly raises a TypeError. Similarly, if the
thread has no valid comm string, pyrf_thread__comm() can raise a SystemError.

Since there is no try...except block around this call, will an exception
from a lost event or short-lived process propagate to the C wrapper and
abruptly abort perf_session__process_events()?

perf evlist: Add reference count

This commit introduces a reference count for the evlist to prevent issues
with cloning in the python code. It switches from evlist__delete() to
a refcounted evlist__put() approach.

> The combination is needed for the python code to operate
> correctly (not hit asserts in the evsel clone), but the changes are

Does this intentionally break bisectability? Even though the fix is
introduced in the next patch ("perf evsel: Add reference count"), leaving
intermediate commits broken makes bisection difficult.

Does this trigger an invalid free when destroying the evlist? Calling
evlist__put() will drop the refcount and eventually call evlist__purge(),
which iterates over elements and calls evsel__delete() (which calls free).

However, when an evsel is added from Python via pyrf_evlist__add():

tools/perf/util/python.c:pyrf_evlist__add() {
    ...
    evsel = &((struct pyrf_evsel *)pevsel)->evsel;
    evlist__add(evlist, evsel);
    ...
}

The evsel is an interior pointer embedded within a Python-allocated
pyrf_evsel object. Passing this interior pointer to free() will corrupt
the heap.

Can this cause crashes and semantic changes for python scripts? The new
pyrf_evsel__from_evsel() dynamically clones the evsel using evsel__clone().

If a script calls evlist.open() before iterating, the underlying
evsel__clone() hits a BUG_ON(orig->core.fd) and crashes. Also, returning a
detached clone means any modifications made to the event by the Python
script are discarded and do not affect the actual event in the list.

Is the id field available for syscalls:sys_enter tracepoints? The fallback
tracepoint defines its field as __syscall_nr (or nr on older kernels),
whereas raw_syscalls:sys_enter provides id. Will this cause getattr to
return -1 and silently drop all fallback events?

Can this raise an unhandled type error exception? If the PID is not present
in the thread map, the C extension function pyrf_session__process raises an
exception. Could this exception propagate back to the C callback loop and
prematurely abort processing?

Does the sample have a comm attribute in live mode? Native sample_event
objects do not have a comm attribute, and sys_enter tracepoints do not
expose it. Will this always default to Unknown and cause the live mode
command filter to discard all events?

Does the Python sample_event API expose the timestamp as time or
sample_time? Since sys_enter tracepoints do not contain a time trace field,
it looks like this will evaluate to False and bypass the periodic printing
logic entirely.

Is it intentional that the workload was changed from uname to perf test -w
brstack, and a new perf inject step was added?

The commit message only mentions migrating the python script to the new API,
but does not document the changes to the test payload and processing
pipeline.

Does this hardcoded relative path break out-of-tree builds like
make O=/path/to/build? 

The compiled perf.so module would be generated in the build directory
rather than the source directory, which might cause import perf to fail

Will this cause the test to fail instead of skipping if perf was built
without Python support?

The setup_python.sh script only checks if the python executable is available
on the host system. If Python is installed but the perf python extension
was not compiled, the script's import perf statement will fail. This will
result in an empty stdout, evaluating to times_val=0 and causing a hard test
failure rather than a graceful skip.

Does this result in an incorrect delta of deltas calculation?

The underlying C implementation for the Python binding (pyrf_evsel__read in
tools/perf/util/python.c) explicitly subtracts the previous counter values,
so evsel.read() already returns the delta for the current interval.

If store() is then called, which computes cur_val = val - prev_val, won't
this subtract the previous interval's delta from the current interval's
delta and result in incorrect CPI metrics for all intervals after the first?

perf task-analyzer: Port task-analyzer to use python module

This commit ports the task-analyzer tool to use the perf python module and
refactors it to use a class-based architecture. It also introduces support
for both file mode and live mode analysis.

What happens if a user passes an invalid color name via the highlight-tasks
argument? It looks like this dictionary access could raise a KeyError and
abort the script when the targeted task context switches.

Will self.db["tid"] grow indefinitely in live mode?

While _record_cleanup caps the list size for each active TID, it appears
inactive TIDs are never removed from the dictionary itself. This could leak
memory continuously over long monitoring sessions as new transient processes
are created and destroyed.

Is the pid attribute available on the thread object returned by
self.session.process?

The python perf bindings for threads generally only expose a comm method. If
pid is missing, this could raise an AttributeError on the first event.
Additionally, might self.session.process raise a TypeError if the thread
cannot be found, causing the event processing loop to unexpectedly exit?

Does this leave the summary features functionally incomplete? Users passing
arguments like --summary or --summary-extended might be expecting the fully
calculated metric tables rather than just the printed headers.

Does the new documentation intentionally omit the comprehensive list of supported
fields?

The C-extension (tools/perf/util/python.c) still exports many fields like
sample_ip, sample_addr, sample_phys_addr, brstack, and callchain, which are
actively used by scripts (e.g., intel-pt-events.py). The rewritten section
appears to drastically under-document the attributes of the Sample Object.

Since the concept of 'report mode' has been excised here and in the

perf evsel: Add reference count

This commit introduces a reference count to struct evsel to better handle 
its lifecycle, particularly in the Python bindings, where events were
previously cloned and caused assertion failures. Get and set functions are
added for Python evsel members to maintain the API.

Since pevsel->evsel is now a dynamically allocated pointer, it can be NULL
if the Python object is instantiated without a successful initialization.

Could this lead to a NULL pointer dereference when str() or repr() is
called on an uninitialized perf.evsel object, since evsel__pmu_name(evsel)
will attempt to access the NULL pointer?

While tp_getattro is provided to protect property reads on uninitialized
objects, tp_setattro is not defined.

Does this mean Python falls back to PyObject_GenericSetAttr, which will
execute C setters like pyrf_evsel__set_tracking directly?

If so, could this cause a segmentation fault in the Python interpreter if
properties are written to an uninitialized perf.evsel object, since the
setters unconditionally dereference pevsel->evsel?

Because pevsel->evsel is now a pointer instead of an embedded struct, does
the assignment to evsel->core.idx introduce a potential arbitrary memory
write if pevsel is passed as a different object type, given that
PyArg_ParseTuple uses the "O" format without type validation? 

Additionally, if an uninitialized perf.evsel object is passed, evsel will
be NULL. Could this lead to an immediate NULL pointer dereference when
writing to evsel->core.idx?

Finally, since evlist now manages the evsel lifecycle via evsel__get(evsel)
and the evsel struct is separated from the Python wrapper, is the
Py_INCREF(pevsel) call still necessary?

Because the Python wrapper object is no longer stored in the C structures,
will leaving Py_INCREF(pevsel) cause a memory leak of the Python object each
time an event is added?

Author: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>

perf inject: Fix itrace branch stack synthesis

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.

Can this bypass the perf_inject__cut_auxtrace_sample() call and corrupt
the perf.data format?

If an event has AUX data and last_branch is true but add_last_branch is
false, it skips the block that temporarily clears PERF_SAMPLE_AUX.

The event is then synthesized with its full AUX payload, bypassing the
else if block intended to cut the AUX data.

Later, __cmd_inject() unconditionally strips PERF_SAMPLE_AUX from the
file's global header. Does this leave unadvertised AUX payloads inside
sample records, causing parsers to miscalculate boundaries?

Does this allow integer truncation leading to zero-sized records?

If sz evaluates to exactly 65536 (PERF_SAMPLE_MAX_SIZE), the condition
passes. Since event_copy->header.size is a __u16, assigning 65536 silently
truncates it to 0.

Could this cause downstream parsers relying on event->header.size to enter
an infinite loop?

> +

Does this leak uninitialized heap memory and corrupt metadata?

The event_copy buffer is allocated via malloc() which does not zero out
memory.

The header.type and header.size fields are set here, but the header.misc
field is omitted. perf_event__synthesize_sample() writes the payload but
does not touch the header.

Could this cause the output perf.data file to contain garbage for critical
flags like the CPU mode (PERF_RECORD_MISC_USER or KERNEL) and exact IP
flags?

This isn't a regression from this commit, but does
perf_event__convert_sample_callchain() double-count the callchain size?

It calculates the new sample_size by taking the original event->header.size,
subtracting stack and regs sizes, and adding the new callchain size, but it
never subtracts the old callchain size.

Does this cause event_copy->header.size to be larger than the actual
synthesized payload, leaking uninitialized heap memory into the output file?

Does passing 0 for branch_sample_type misalign the synthetic event layouts?

If the corresponding synthetic evsel header natively has
PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_HW_INDEX set, the output file will contain an evsel
claiming hw_idx exists.

However, because the payload is synthesized here with 0, it will lack the
8-byte hw_idx field. Could this misalign the reading of branch entries and
subsequent fields?

If an fd is provided but path is omitted, path defaults to "perf.data".
Does this cause perf_data__open() to ignore the provided fd?

Looking at perf_data__open(), it calls check_pipe() which evaluates
!strcmp(data->path, "-"). Since the path is "perf.data", check_pipe() returns
false, and perf_data__open() opens the local "perf.data" file instead,
overwriting the validated pipe fd unless the caller explicitly passed path="-".

perf python: Improve perf script -l descriptions

This commit adds docstrings to several Python scripts in the perf tools
to improve the descriptions shown when running "perf script -l".

Will "perf script -l" actually display this description?

Looking at read_script_info() in builtin-script.c, when it matches a
single-line docstring it copies the text and breaks out of the
quote-matching loop, but fails to break out of the file-reading
while loop.

Because exported-sql-viewer.py contains subsequent """ blocks later in the
file, won't the parser overwrite this newly added description with the later
text, leaking the memory allocated for the first string and preventing the
intended description from being displayed?

Does this suffer from the same issue?

Similar to exported-sql-viewer.py, twatch.py also contains subsequent """
blocks further down the file. The pre-existing parser behavior might cause
this update to be functionally ineffective, resulting in a mismatch between
the output claimed in the commit message and the actual command behavior.

perf arm-cs-trace-disasm: Port arm-cs-trace-disasm to use python module

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.

Does this calculate the correct offset for dynamically loaded libraries?
If sample.sample_ip is an absolute instruction pointer, and sample.sym_start 
is map-relative, won't subtracting them yield an incorrect offset? 

The original C-side code avoided this by using the pre-computed offset
via al->addr - sym->start.

Will this correctly match the event names?
The __str__ representation of pyrf_evsel in tools/perf/util/python.c returns 
the event name wrapped as "evsel(%s)". 

Does this cause ev_name to be evaluated as strings like 
"evsel(instructions:u)", which would fail both startswith() checks and 
result in the script silently dropping all events?

Could this fail silently on out-of-tree builds?
If the perf python module is not installed globally, the script will fail to
import perf with a ModuleNotFoundError. 

Because the PYTHONPATH is not exported and sys.path is not modified to point 
to the built python extension directory, and errors are swallowed by 
2> /dev/null, the output file ends up empty.

Would it be better to ensure PYTHONPATH includes the built extension directory
similar to how it is handled in python-use.sh?

perf evlist: Add reference count checking

This patch adds reference count checking to the perf evlist object so that
gets and puts are paired and easy to debug. It also introduces accessors to
evlist functions and updates the codebase to use them.

Can this sequence result in a race condition that breaks atomic reference
counting?

Because the decrement via refcount_dec_and_test() and the subsequent read
are not atomic, concurrent calls to evlist__put() could both decrement the
refcount before either reads it. Both threads would then read the same count,
subtract the back-references, see a count of zero, and proceed to out_delete,
causing a double free.

Similarly, a concurrent evlist__get() could increment the refcount after
the count is read, leaving the other thread with a dangling pointer since
the first thread proceeds to free the evlist.

Does this change leak the evlist reference when probe:vfs_getname events
are removed in evlist__add_vfs_getname()?

With the new reference counting semantics, adding an evsel to an evlist
acquires a reference to the evlist. In evlist__add_vfs_getname(), unmatched
evsels are manually removed from the list by explicitly setting
evsel->evlist = NULL and calling evsel__put(evsel).

By bypassing evlist__remove() and setting evsel->evlist = NULL without
calling evlist__put(), the reference to the evlist acquired during insertion
is permanently leaked. 

Because the event is removed from the linked list, the cycle-breaking loop
in evlist__put() will not traverse it. The evlist reference count will never
reach 0, leaking the entire list and its resources upon exit.

This isn't a bug introduced by this patch, but does this code cause a
use-after-free when reassigning the evlist?

Since evlist is passed by value, reassigning evlist = evlist__new() only
updates the local parameter. If the user passes unsupported arguments,
evlist__nr_entries(evlist) > 0 evaluates to true, and evlist__put(evlist)
frees the original list.

The caller retains its original pointer, which now points to freed memory,
potentially causing a crash when it iterates over it later.

If a script contains multiple description-like elements, such as a fallback
SPDX comment followed by an explicit "description:" line, does this code leak
the memory allocated for desc->half_liner?

Since the outer loop continues when "SPDX-License-Identifier" is matched
without breaking, a subsequent match on "description:" will overwrite the
desc->half_liner pointer without freeing the previously allocated string.

What happens if waitpid() fails or is interrupted by a signal, returning -1
with errno set to EINTR?

Because there is no else branch or early return on failure, would execution
fall out of the waitpid() block and continue to the rest of cmd_script()?

If this fall-through occurs, it looks like the parent process would incorrectly
initialize a session and begin parsing and dumping trace events concurrently
with the child script, rather than safely exiting.

This isn't a bug, but struct branch_flags contains additional fields like
spec, new_type, priv, and not_taken. Are these intentionally omitted, or
should they be exposed to match the data available to native perf scripts?

If PyObject_New() fails and returns NULL, the Python MemoryError exception
indicator is set. Since the code skips the block below and falls through to
PyObject_CallFunction() with this exception still pending, could this violate
the C-API contract and trigger a fatal assertion failure in the Python
runtime?

Will this create an unbreakable reference cycle?

pstack takes a reference to pevent here, and then pevent takes ownership of
pstack below via pevent->brstack = (PyObject *)pstack. Because neither
pyrf_sample_event__type nor pyrf_branch_stack__type implement the Python
cyclic garbage collection protocol (Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_GC), the cycle is hidden
from the garbage collector.

Would this cause both objects, along with the dynamically allocated
pstack->entries, to leak on every sample that has a branch stack?

Also, since the branch entries are eagerly copied into pstack->entries below,
does pstack actually need to keep a reference to pevent?

The commit message states this implements lazy iteration, but the code appears
to unconditionally and eagerly resolve the callchain for every processed sample.

Since pchain->resolved is hardcoded to true upon creation in
pyrf_session_tool__sample(), is this entire block unreachable dead code?

Additionally, if this were to be reached, would accessing
pchain->pevent->sample.evsel without holding an active reference to the
underlying perf_session risk a use-after-free?

This isn't a bug introduced by this patch, but since pevent is allocated with
PyObject_New(), wouldn't pevent->sample be left uninitialized?

If an error occurs later and Py_DECREF(pyevent) is called, pyrf_event__delete()
will call perf_sample__exit(&pevent->sample) on uninitialized garbage pointers,
which could cause a segmentation fault.

Should pevent->sample be explicitly zero-initialized during creation?

Doesn't this create a circular reference? The pchain object stores a strong
reference to the event here, and below, the event stores a reference to the
callchain.

Since neither pyrf_event__type nor pyrf_callchain__type implements the Python
cyclic garbage collector protocols, will this permanently leak both the event
and the callchain objects (along with all mapped C structures) on every
processed sample?

If cursor->nr is 0, this calls calloc(0, ...). Since the behavior of calloc(0)
is implementation-defined, couldn't this return NULL on some systems (treating
it as an allocation failure) and a unique zero-sized pointer on others?

Will this cause the exact same perf.data file to unpredictably yield either
None or an empty iterable depending on the host's C library?

The event stores the reference to the callchain here, completing the circular

perf wakeup-latency: Port wakeup-latency to use python module

This commit ports the legacy Perl script wakeup-latency.pl to a Python script
using the perf module. It leverages the perf.session API for event processing
to measure wakeup latency.

Is there a regression with how minimum latencies are tracked here? If all
recorded latencies in a trace exceed 1,000,000,000 ns, it appears the minimum
will be capped at exactly 1 second, discarding real data.

Additionally, if no valid events are processed, this prints 1000000000
instead of "N/A".

Could min_wakeup_latency be initialized to infinity, such as float('inf'), to
avoid discarding real data?

Can this substring check cause a regression by unintentionally matching
"sched:sched_wakeup_new" events?

The condition evaluates to True for both tracepoints, silently merging normal
wakeups with new task wakeups.

Would using strict equality or explicitly matching the exact event name
prevent this?

Could this logic introduce a regression in the performance metric being
measured?

By tracking the timestamp using the task pid and measuring latency when that
specific next_pid schedules in, the metric changes to per-task wakeup
latency.

The legacy Perl script measured per-CPU responsiveness by tracking the
timestamp of a wakeup using the target CPU and calculating the latency upon
the next context switch on that same CPU.

Does this change break compatibility with the legacy script's output?

perf rw-by-file: Port rw-by-file to use python module

This commit ports the legacy Perl script rw-by-file.pl to a python script
using the perf module in tools/perf/python. It tracks read and write
activity by file descriptor for a given program name.

Does sample.evsel have a name attribute in the Python bindings?

The C-Python extension for the perf module in tools/perf/util/python.c does
not appear to define a name property for evsel objects. Because the evsel
object uses PyObject_GenericGetAttr, this looks like it will raise an
AttributeError and crash the process_events loop.

Can sample.evsel also be None here?

If event_name is eventually retrieved using str(sample.evsel) instead, the
pyrf_evsel__str C implementation returns a string wrapped in evsel(...)
such as evsel(syscalls:sys_enter_read). Will this exact string match fail
because it does not account for the wrapper?

Additionally, do the raw_syscalls:sys_enter_read and
raw_syscalls:sys_enter_write tracepoints exist? The raw_syscalls subsystem
typically only provides generic sys_enter and sys_exit events.

Could this cause valid events to fail the match and fall through to the
unhandled bucket, rendering the read and write tracking logic unreachable?

perf: Remove libperl support, legacy Perl scripts and tests

This commit removes embedded Perl interpreter support from perf, as all

The changes include removing libperl feature detection, build rules,
and the scripts themselves.

These aren't regressions introduced by this patch, but while reviewing this
area I noticed two pre-existing issues nearby that could lead to buffer
overflows.

First, does the extraction of script names in find_scripts() have a bounds
checking issue?

The size passed to snprintf() is derived from the input filename's length
rather than the destination buffer's fixed size:

tools/perf/ui/browsers/scripts.c:find_scripts() {
    ...
		while ((script_dirent = readdir(lang_dir)) != NULL) {
            ...
			temp = strchr(script_dirent->d_name, '.');
			snprintf(scripts_array[i],
				(temp - script_dirent->d_name) + 1,
				"%s", script_dirent->d_name);
    ...
}

If a script filename exceeds 127 characters, snprintf() will write past the
128-byte boundary of scripts_array[i] and overwrite the adjacent
scripts_path_array[i] buffer, leading to a heap buffer overflow.

Additionally, if the filename lacks a dot, temp evaluates to NULL, which
causes an integer underflow that disables snprintf()'s truncation entirely.

Second, does check_ev_match() overflow the event name buffer when parsing a
script's -record file?

The length of the event name is calculated and then directly passed to
snprintf() with a fixed 128-byte stack array:

tools/perf/ui/browsers/scripts.c:check_ev_match() {
    ...
		while (strlen(p)) {
            ...
			char evname[128];

			p = strstr(p, "-e");
            ...
			p += 2;
			p = skip_spaces(p);
			len = strcspn(p, " \t");
            ...
			snprintf(evname, len + 1, "%s", p);
    ...
}

If the event name in the -record file exceeds 127 characters, snprintf() will
write beyond the bounds of the array, resulting in a stack buffer overflow.
An attacker could exploit this by placing a maliciously crafted -record file
in the script directory.

perf python: Add python session abstraction wrapping perf's session

Adds a Python wrapper for perf_session to allow processing perf.data files

Can thread__comm_str() return a null pointer if the thread doesn't have an
associated comm string? Passing a null pointer to PyUnicode_FromString()
would crash the Python interpreter.

If pyrf_event__new() fails and returns a null pointer, it sets a Python
exception. By returning -ENOMEM here, the error bubbles up to
pyrf_session__process_events() which then returns a valid PyLong object.

Does returning a valid Python object while an exception is pending violate
the Python C-API and trigger a SystemError?

Does evsel__parse_sample() dynamically allocate memory for register dumps
into these fields? By explicitly setting these to null pointers, does this
overwrite the only references to that memory and cause a memory leak when
the Python object is later garbage collected?

If a script instantiates the session object via __new__ without calling
__init__, psession->session will be uninitialized. Could this result in a
null pointer dereference when accessing psession->session->machines?

Python allows __init__ to be called multiple times on the same object.

If pyrf_evlist__read_on_cpu() encounters an unhandled event type like
PERF_RECORD_MMAP2, pyrf_event__new() returns NULL and sets a Python TypeError
before invoking perf_mmap__consume().

Because the event is never consumed, the ring buffer's tail pointer is not
advanced. The exception is then caught below, and on the next iteration poll()
returns immediately. Will this cause read_on_cpu() to read the exact same
unsupported event and lock the script in an infinite loop?

Also, since read_on_cpu() extracts only one event per call, does this loop
structure require invoking the poll() system call for every individual event?

If a burst of events occurs at high sampling frequencies, could this overhead
cause the script to lag and result in dropped events? Would it be better to
drain each CPU's queue completely before polling again?

By filtering strictly for perf.RECORD_SAMPLE, this loop silently drops
perf.RECORD_LOST events.

Could we add a mechanism to report lost samples or log a warning, so the
caller can detect when the kernel's perf ring buffer overflows?

> +                    except Exception:

Will this generic exception handler silently discard errors originating from
the user-provided callback?

If a user introduces a typo or logic error in their callback, the error will
be hidden. Should exceptions from the callback be logged or allowed to
propagate to terminate the session?

Was tools/perf/ui/browsers/scripts.c missed in this update? The
find_scripts() function still has an #ifndef HAVE_LIBPYTHON_SUPPORT check
that unconditionally skips the Python directory because
HAVE_LIBPYTHON_SUPPORT was removed.

It also still searches the legacy scripts/python path instead of the new
python/ directory:

tools/perf/ui/browsers/scripts.c:find_scripts() {
    ...
		if (!strcmp(lang_dirent->d_name, ".") || !strcmp(lang_dirent->d_name, ".."))
			continue;

#ifndef HAVE_LIBPYTHON_SUPPORT
		if (strstr(lang_dirent->d_name, "python"))
			continue;

    ...
			scnprintf(scripts_path_array[i], pathlen, "%s/scripts/%s/%s",
				exec_path,
				lang_dirent->d_name,
				script_dirent->d_name);
    ...
}

Will this cause the UI script browser to completely break for Python scripts?

Because this test is compiled as a standalone executable, it forces the build
system to link against libpython.

Since the embedded interpreter was removed and perf now only builds a Python
extension module, does this incorrectly require the Python embedding library?

Systems that have the Python headers but lack the static/dynamic embedding
library will fail this feature test, incorrectly disabling Python support
across the build.

Because the variable is now undefined, it evaluates to an empty string. This
causes the test suite to execute a redundant default build instead of
verifying the NO_PYTHON_MODULE=1 opt-out path, leading to a silent drop
in CI test coverage.

Author: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>

perf python: Refactor and add accessors to sample event
    
This commit refactors event sample types by creating common fields for evsel
and relocating sample-specific fields. It also adds several accessors for
sample events and introduces an address location structure.

Are .tp_new and .tp_dealloc missing from this structure?

Since the earlier runtime assignments of PyType_GenericNew were removed
during this refactoring, leaving .tp_new NULL breaks direct instantiation
from Python.

Additionally, leaving .tp_dealloc NULL means the Python garbage collector
bypasses the pyrf_event__delete() destructor, so perf_sample__exit() is
never executed.

Could this permanently leak the evsel reference that gets elevated during
evsel__parse_sample() every time a comm event is processed?

Similar to the comm event above, does this read event structure also need
.tp_new and .tp_dealloc populated to prevent memory leaks and instantiation
errors?

Can removing perf_sample__init() lead to a crash on error paths?

PyObject_New() allocates memory but does not zero-initialize it.
If evlist__event2evsel() fails to find an event, pyrf_evlist__read_on_cpu()
takes this error path:

pyrf_evlist__read_on_cpu() {
    pyevent = pyrf_event__new(event);
    ...
    evsel = evlist__event2evsel(evlist, event);
    if (!evsel) {
        Py_DECREF(pyevent);
        Py_RETURN_NONE;
    }
...
}

The Py_DECREF() will invoke the destructor pyrf_event__delete(), which
unconditionally calls perf_sample__exit().

Because perf_sample__init() was removed, the pevent->sample fields like
user_regs and intr_regs might contain uninitialized garbage values.

Will the zfree() calls inside perf_sample__exit() attempt to free invalid
pointers in this scenario?

[PATCH v6 00/59] perf: Reorganize scripting support

[Ian Rogers]

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 (11423 insertions, 16029 deletions, net 4606
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 7 patches that finalize the new perf script behavior.

---
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 v6 01/59] perf inject: Fix itrace branch stack synthesis

[Ian Rogers]

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 .

[PATCH v6 05/59] perf script: Sort includes and add missed explicit dependencies

[Ian Rogers]

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 v6 09/59] perf data: Add open flag

[Ian Rogers]

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 v6 10/59] perf evlist: Add reference count

[Ian Rogers]

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.

[PATCH v6 11/59] perf evsel: Add reference count

[Ian Rogers]

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.

Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>
---
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 .

[PATCH v6 12/59] perf evlist: Add reference count checking

[Ian Rogers]

Now the evlist is reference counted, add reference count checking so
that gets and puts are paired and easy to debug. Reference count
checking is documented here:
https://perfwiki.github.io/main/reference-count-checking/

This large patch is adding accessors to evlist functions and switching
to their use. There was some minor renaming as evlist__mmap is now an
accessor to the mmap variable, and the original evlist__mmap is
renamed to evlist__do_mmap.

Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>

v2:

1. Fixed Memory Leak in evlist__new : Added free(evlist) in the else
   branch if ADD_RC_CHK fails, preventing a leak of the allocated raw
   structure.

2. Fixed Potential NULL Dereference: Added a NULL check after
   from_list_start(_evlist) in perf_evlist__mmap_cb_get() .

3. Fixed Use-After-Free Risk: In evlist__add() , I changed
   entry->evlist = evlist; to entry->evlist = evlist__get(evlist);
   . This ensures that the evsel holds a valid reference (wrapper) to
   the evlist , preventing it from becoming a dangling pointer if the
   original wrapper is freed.

4. Fixed Test Masking Bug: In test__perf_time__parse_for_ranges() , I
   replaced TEST_ASSERT_VAL with a manual check and return false; to
   avoid boolean evaluation of -1 inadvertently passing the test.

5. Fix reference count checker memory leaks from missed puts and due
   to cyclic evsel to evlist references. A leak still exists in
   __perf_evlist__propagate_maps due to empty CPU maps and not
   deleting the removed evsel.

[PATCH v6 13/59] perf python: Use evsel in sample in pyrf_event

[Ian Rogers]

Avoid a duplicated evsel by using the one in sample. Add
evsel__get/put to the evsel in perf_sample.

[PATCH v6 14/59] perf python: Add wrapper for perf_data file abstraction

[Ian Rogers]

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.

[PATCH v6 15/59] perf python: Add python session abstraction wrapping perf's session

[Ian Rogers]

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']
['__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']
['__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 .

[PATCH v6 16/59] perf python: Add syscall name/id to convert syscall number and name

[Ian Rogers]

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`.

[PATCH v6 17/59] perf python: Refactor and add accessors to sample event

[Ian Rogers]

Add common evsel field for events and move sample specific fields to
only be present in sample events. Add accessors for sample events.

Assisted-by: Gemini:gemini-3.1-pro-preview
Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>
---
v5:
1. Fix Uninitialized Memory: Restore zero-initialization of `pevent->sample`
   in `pyrf_event__new()` to prevent wild free crashes on error paths.

v6:
- Refactored `pyrf_event__new` to take `evsel` and `session`, and use
  dynamic allocation based on event size. Updated callers.

[PATCH v6 18/59] perf python: Add callchain support

[Ian Rogers]

Implement pyrf_callchain_node and pyrf_callchain types for lazy
iteration over callchain frames. Add callchain property to
sample_event.

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

1. Eager Callchain Resolution: Moved the callchain resolution from
   deferred iteration to eager processing in
   pyrf_session_tool__sample() .  This avoids risks of reading from
   unmapped memory or following dangling pointers to closed sessions.

2. Cached Callchain: Added a callchain field to struct pyrf_event to
   store the resolved object.

3. Simplified Access: pyrf_sample_event__get_callchain() now just
   returns the cached object if available.

4. Avoided Double Free: Handled lazy cleanups properly.

v6:
- Moved callchain resolution from `session_tool__sample` to
  `pyrf_event__new`.

[PATCH v6 20/59] perf python: Extend API for stat events in python.c

[Ian Rogers]

Add stat information to the session. Add call backs for stat events.

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

v5:
1. Fix Memory Corruption: Corrected the memory offset for `stat_round_type`
   in `pyrf_stat_round_event__members` by adding the base offset of
   `struct pyrf_event`.
2. Fix Memory Leak: Added `Py_XDECREF()` to free the unused return value
   of the Python callback in `pyrf_session_tool__stat_round()`.

[PATCH v6 21/59] perf python: Expose brstack in sample event

[Ian Rogers]

Implement pyrf_branch_entry and pyrf_branch_stack for lazy
iteration over branch stack entries.

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

1. Avoided Keyword Collision: Renamed the properties "from" and "to"
   to "from_ip" and "to_ip" in pyrf_branch_entry__getset[] to prevent
   syntax errors in Python.

2. Eager Branch Stack Resolution: Updated pyrf_session_tool__sample()
   to allocate and copy the branch stack entries eagerly when the
   event is processed, instead of deferring it to iteration time. This
   avoids reading from potentially overwritten or unmapped mmap
   buffers.

3. Updated Iterators: Updated pyrf_branch_stack and
   pyrf_branch_stack__next() to use the copied entries rather than
   pointing directly to the sample's buffer.

4. Avoided Reference Leak on Init Failure: Added proper error checking
   for PyModule_AddObject() in the module initialization function,
   decrementing references on failure.

v6:
- Moved branch stack resolution from `session_tool__sample` to
  `pyrf_event__new`.

[PATCH v6 22/59] perf python: Add perf.pyi stubs file

[Ian Rogers]

Add Python type stubs for the perf module to improve IDE support and
static analysis.  Includes docstrings for classes, methods, and
constants derived from C source and JSON definitions.

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

1. Added Missing Module Functions: Added parse_metrics and
   pmus. Renamed metrics to parse_metrics to match python.c .

2. Added Constructors: Added __init__ methods for data , evsel , and
   evlist with their appropriate arguments.

3. Removed sample_comm : Removed it from sample_event since it is not
   exported in python.c .

4. Keyword Handling in branch_entry : I used from_ip and to_ip in the
   stubs to match the rename I did in python.c (in turn 145) to avoid
   the Python from keyword conflict.

5. Added Missing Event Classes: Added mmap_event , lost_event ,
   comm_event , task_event , throttle_event , read_event , and
   switch_event .

6. Added Missing evlist Methods: Added get_pollfd and add .

7. Updated Return Types: Changed process_events to return int .

v6:
- Updated `perf.pyi` to use `find_thread` and `elf_machine`.

[PATCH v6 23/59] perf python: Add LiveSession helper

[Ian Rogers]

Add LiveSession class in tools/perf/python/perf_live.py to support
live event collection using perf.evlist and perf.parse_events,
avoiding the need to fork a separate perf record process.

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

1. Fixed File Descriptor Leak: I moved self.evlist.mmap() inside the
   try block so that if it raises an exception, the finally block will
   still be executed and call self.evlist.close() , preventing file
   descriptor leaks.

2. Handled InterruptedError in poll() : I wrapped the poll() call in a
   try-except block to catch InterruptedError and continue the
   loop. This prevents the live session from crashing on non-fatal
   signals like SIGWINCH .

3. Added evlist.config() : I added a call to self.evlist.config() in
   the constructor after parse_events() . This applies the default
   record options to the events, enabling sampling and setting up
   PERF_SAMPLE_* fields so that the kernel will actually generate
   PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE events.

4. Enable the evlist and be robust to exceptions from reading unsupported
   events like mmap2.

[PATCH v6 24/59] perf python: Move exported-sql-viewer.py and parallel-perf.py to tools/perf/python/

These scripts are standalone and not using the `perf script` libpython
support. Move to tools/perf/python in an effort to deprecate the
tools/perf/scripts/python support.

v2:
1. Updated exported-sql-viewer.py : I updated the comments at the top
   of the script to use the new path
   tools/perf/python/exported-sql-viewer.py in the usage examples.

2. Fixed Test Path in script.sh : I updated the path in
   tools/perf/tests/shell/script.sh to point to the new location of
   parallel-perf.py at ../../python/parallel-perf.py .

v5:
1. Fix Test 105 Failure: Added a shebang line and marked the generated
   `db_test.py` script as executable in `script.sh`, preventing
   permission denied errors during standalone execution.

[PATCH v6 25/59] perf stat-cpi: Port stat-cpi to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

Port stat-cpi.py from the legacy framework to a standalone script.
Support both file processing mode (using perf.session) and live mode
(reading counters directly via perf.parse_events and evsel.read). Use
argparse for command line options handling. Calculate and display CPI
(Cycles Per Instruction) per interval per CPU/thread.

Assisted-by: Gemini:gemini-3.1-pro-preview

v2:

1. Accurate CPI Calculation (Multiplexing Support):
  - Before: The get() method returned the raw counter value directly,
    ignoring whether the counter ran for the full interval.

  - After: The get() method now scales the raw value by the ratio of
    enabled time to running time ( val * (ena / float(run)) ) when run
    > 0 . This handles cases where PMU counters are overcommitted and
    multiplexed.

2. Per-Interval CPI in File Mode:
  - Before: store() saved absolute counter values as read from
    PERF_RECORD_STAT . Since these are cumulative from the start of
    the trace, and data.clear() was called every round, the script
    computed cumulative CPI rather than per-interval CPI.

  - After: store() now computes the delta between the current absolute
    value and the value from the previous interval. It saves this
    delta in self.data and retains the absolute value in self.
    prev_data for the next delta computation.

3. Prevention of Dummy Output (Cartesian Product Fix):
  - Before: self.cpus and self.threads lists accumulated all unique
    CPUs and threads seen independently. The nested loops in
    print_interval() then created a Cartesian product of all seen CPUs
    and threads, querying data for combinations that might never have
    occurred.
  - After: Replaced lists with a self.recorded_pairs set that stores
    (cpu, thread) tuples only when a sample actually records them. The
    output loop now iterates strictly over these verified pairs.

[PATCH v6 27/59] perf syscall-counts: Port syscall-counts to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

Rewrite tools/perf/scripts/python/syscall-counts.py to use the python
module and various style changes. By avoiding the overheads in the
`perf script` execution the performance improves by more than 4x as
shown in the following (with PYTHON_PATH and PERF_EXEC_PATH set as
necessary):

```
$ perf record -e raw_syscalls:sys_enter -a sleep 1
...
$ time perf script tools/perf/scripts/python/syscall-counts.py perf
Install the python-audit package to get syscall names.
For example:
  # apt-get install python3-audit (Ubuntu)
  # yum install python3-audit (Fedora)
  etc.

Press control+C to stop and show the summary
Warning:
1 out of order events recorded.

v2:

1. Fallback for Unknown Syscalls: If perf.syscall_name() returns None
   for an unmapped ID, the script now falls back to using the numeric
   ID string. This prevents a TypeError when applying string alignment
   formatting.

2. Fallback for Syscall Number Attribute: The script now checks for
   __syscall_nr first, and if not present (as on some older kernels),
   falls back to checking for nr .

3. Robust Process Resolution: Added a try-except block around
   session.process(sample.pid).comm() . If the process lookup fails
   (returning NULL/None), it falls back to "unknown" instead of
   letting a TypeError crash the script.

4. Support for Custom Input Files: Added a -i / --input command-line
   argument to allow processing arbitrarily named trace files,
   removing the hardcoded "perf.data" restriction.

[PATCH v6 28/59] perf syscall-counts-by-pid: Port syscall-counts-by-pid to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

Rewrite tools/perf/scripts/python/syscall-counts-by-pid.py to use the
python module and various style changes. By avoiding the overheads in
the `perf script` execution the performance improves by more than 3.8x
as shown in the following (with PYTHON_PATH and PERF_EXEC_PATH set as
necessary):

```
$ perf record -e raw_syscalls:sys_enter -a sleep 1
...
$ time perf script tools/perf/scripts/python/syscall-counts-by-pid.py perf
Install the python-audit package to get syscall names.
For example:
  # apt-get install python3-audit (Ubuntu)
  # yum install python3-audit (Fedora)

v2:

1. Removed Unused Variable: Removed id_keys which was assigned but
   never read.

2. Fallback for Unknown Syscalls: If perf.syscall_name() returns None
   for an unmapped ID, it now falls back to the numeric ID string to
   prevent TypeError crashes during string formatting.

3. Fallback for Syscall Number Attribute: It now checks for
   __syscall_nr first, and if missing, falls back to checking for nr .

4. Robust Process Resolution: Added a try-except block around
   session.process(sample.pid).comm() to handle untracked PIDs
   gracefully instead of crashing on a TypeError .

5. Restored PID Filtering: The script now attempts to parse the
   positional argument as an integer to filter by Process ID. If that
   fails, it treats it as a command name (COMM) string to filter by,
   restoring behavior from the original legacy script.

6. Support for Custom Input Files: Added a -i / --input command-line
   argument to support arbitrarily named trace files, removing the
   hardcoded "perf.data" restriction.

v2:

1. Fixed Module Import Failure: Corrected the type annotations from
   [int, int] to Tuple[int, int] .  The previous code would raise a
   TypeError at module import time because lists cannot be used as
   types in dictionary annotations.

2. Prevented Out-Of-Memory Crashes: Replaced the approach of storing
   every single duration in a list with a LockStats class that
   maintains running aggregates (count, total time, min, max). This
   ensures O(1) memory usage per lock/thread pair rather than
   unbounded memory growth.

3. Support for Custom Input Files: Added a -i / --input command-line
   argument to support processing arbitrarily named trace files,
   removing the hardcoded "perf.data" restriction.

4. Robust Process Lookup: Added a check to ensure session is
   initialized before calling session.  process() , preventing
   potential NoneType attribute errors if events are processed during
   initialization.

v5:
1. Fix Event Filtering: Corrected event filtering check to search for a
   substring match within the parsed event string, preventing all events
   from being dropped due to the `evsel(...)` wrapper.

v6:
- Fixed terminal injection risk by not printing unverified content in
  prompt.

[PATCH v6 31/59] perf gecko: Port gecko to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

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

[PATCH v6 32/59] perf arm-cs-trace-disasm: Port arm-cs-trace-disasm to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

[PATCH v6 33/59] perf check-perf-trace: Port check-perf-trace to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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: Fixed Closure Call: Changed cls.fobj.filter(pid, comm) to
    cls.fobj(pid, comm) . Since fobj is a function (closure) and not a
    class instance, calling .filter() on it would raise an

+Report time spent in memory compaction.
+
+Memory compaction is a feature in the Linux kernel that defragments memory
+by moving used pages to create larger contiguous blocks of free memory. This
+is particularly useful for allocating huge pages.
+
+This script processes trace events related to memory compaction and reports:
+- Total time spent in compaction (stall time).
+- Statistics for page migration (moved vs. failed).
+- Statistics for the free scanner (scanned vs. isolated pages).
+- Statistics for the migration scanner (scanned vs. isolated pages).
+
+Definitions:
+- **Compaction**: Defragmenting memory by moving allocated pages.
+- **Migration**: Moving pages from their current location to free pages found by the free scanner.
+- **Free Scanner**: Scans memory (typically from the end of a zone) to find free pages.
+- **Migration Scanner**: Scans memory (typically from the beginning of a zone)
+  to find pages to move.
+- **Isolated Pages**: Pages that have been temporarily removed from the buddy
+  system for migration or as migration targets.

[PATCH v6 35/59] perf event_analyzing_sample: Port event_analyzing_sample to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

Add a port of the event_analyzing_sample 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.

Assisted-by: Gemini:gemini-3.1-pro-preview
Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>
---
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 v6 36/59] perf export-to-sqlite: Port export-to-sqlite to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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 v6 37/59] perf export-to-postgresql: Port export-to-postgresql to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

Ported from tools/perf/scripts/python/export-to-postgresql.py to use
the perf Python module API.

Assisted-by: Gemini:gemini-3.1-pro-preview
Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>
---
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 v6 38/59] perf failed-syscalls-by-pid: Port failed-syscalls-by-pid to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

Ported from tools/perf/scripts/python/failed-syscalls-by-pid.py to use
the perf Python module API.

Key changes:
- Used perf.syscall_name() to resolve syscall names instead of legacy
  Util library.
- Used standard collections.defaultdict for nested statistics
  aggregation.
- Used errno.errorcode for resolving error strings.
- Supported optional filtering by COMM or PID via command line
  arguments.

---
v2: Fixed Syscall Name Fallback: Handled the case where
    perf.syscall_name() returns None , falling back to the string
    representation of the syscall ID to avoid TypeError during string
    formatting.

[PATCH v6 39/59] perf intel-pt-events: Port intel-pt-events/libxed to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

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 v6 40/59] perf net_dropmonitor: Port net_dropmonitor to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

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

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 v6 41/59] perf netdev-times: Port netdev-times to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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 v6 42/59] perf powerpc-hcalls: Port powerpc-hcalls to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

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 v6 44/59] perf sctop: Port sctop to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

[PATCH v6 45/59] perf stackcollapse: Port stackcollapse to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

Assisted-by: Gemini:gemini-3.1-pro-preview

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 v6 46/59] perf task-analyzer: Port task-analyzer to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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 v6 47/59] perf failed-syscalls: Port failed-syscalls to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

[PATCH v6 48/59] perf rw-by-file: Port rw-by-file to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

[PATCH v6 49/59] perf rw-by-pid: Port rw-by-pid to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

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 v6 50/59] perf rwtop: Port rwtop to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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 v6 51/59] perf wakeup-latency: Port wakeup-latency to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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 v6 52/59] perf test: Migrate Intel PT virtual LBR test to use Python API

[Ian Rogers]

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.

-Perf-Trace-Util version 0.01
-============================
-
-This module contains utility functions for use with perf script.
-
-Core.pm and Util.pm are pure Perl modules; Core.pm contains routines
-that the core perf support for Perl calls on and should always be
-'used', while Util.pm contains useful but optional utility functions
-that scripts may want to use.  Context.pm contains the Perl->C
-interface that allows scripts to access data in the embedding perf
-executable; scripts wishing to do that should 'use Context.pm'.
-
-The Perl->C perf interface is completely driven by Context.xs.  If you
-want to add new Perl functions that end up accessing C data in the
-perf executable, you add desciptions of the new functions here.
-scripting_context is a pointer to the perf data in the perf executable
-that you want to access - it's passed as the second parameter,
-$context, to all handler functions.
-
-After you do that:
-
-  perl Makefile.PL   # to create a Makefile for the next step
-  make               # to create Context.c
-
-  edit Context.c to add const to the char* file = __FILE__ line in
-  XS(boot_Perf__Trace__Context) to silence a warning/error.
-
-  You can delete the Makefile, object files and anything else that was
-  generated e.g. blib and shared library, etc, except for of course
-  Context.c
-
-  You should then be able to run the normal perf make as usual.
-
-INSTALLATION
-
-Building perf with perf script Perl scripting should install this
-module in the right place.
-
-You should make sure libperl and ExtUtils/Embed.pm are installed first
-e.g. apt-get install libperl-dev or yum install perl-ExtUtils-Embed.
-
-DEPENDENCIES
-
-This module requires these other modules and libraries:
-
-  None

[PATCH v6 54/59] perf: Remove libpython support and legacy Python scripts

[Ian Rogers]

This commit removes embedded Python interpreter support from perf, as
all legacy Python scripts have been ported to standalone Python
scripts or are no longer needed.

Changes include:
- Removal of libpython detection and flags from Makefile.config.
- Removal of Python script installation rules from Makefile.perf.
- Deletion of tools/perf/util/scripting-engines/trace-event-python.c.
- Removal of Python scripting operations and setup from
  trace-event-scripting.c.
- Removal of setup_python_scripting() call from builtin-script.c and
  declaration from trace-event.h.
- Removal of Python checks in the script browser (scripts.c).
- Removal of libpython from the supported features list in builtin-check.c
  and Documentation/perf-check.txt.
- Deletion of the legacy Python scripts in tools/perf/scripts/python.

-# 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'.
-#
-#	calls
-#
-#		'calls' represents function calls and is related to 'samples' by 'call_id' and 'return_id'.
-#		'calls' is only created when the 'calls' option to this script is specified.
-#
-#	call_paths
-#
-#		'call_paths' represents all the call stacks.  Each 'call' has an associated record in 'call_paths'.
-#		'calls_paths' is only created when the 'calls' option to this script is specified.
-#
-#	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:
-#
-#		calls_view
-#		call_paths_view
-#		comm_threads_view
-#		dsos_view
-#		machines_view
-#		samples_view
-#		symbols_view
-#		threads_view
-#
-# More examples of browsing the database with psql:
-#   Note that some of the examples are not the most optimal SQL query.
-#   Note that call information is only available if the script's 'calls' option has been used.
-#
-#	Top 10 function calls (not aggregated by symbol):
-#
-#		SELECT * FROM calls_view ORDER BY elapsed_time DESC LIMIT 10;
-#
-#	Top 10 function calls (aggregated by symbol):
-#
-#		SELECT symbol_id,(SELECT name FROM symbols WHERE id = symbol_id) AS symbol,
-#			SUM(elapsed_time) AS tot_elapsed_time,SUM(branch_count) AS tot_branch_count
-#			FROM calls_view GROUP BY symbol_id ORDER BY tot_elapsed_time DESC LIMIT 10;
-#
-#		Note that the branch count gives a rough estimation of cpu usage, so functions
-#		that took a long time but have a relatively low branch count must have spent time
-#		waiting.
-#
-#	Find symbols by pattern matching on part of the name (e.g. names containing 'alloc'):
-#
-#		SELECT * FROM symbols_view WHERE name LIKE '%alloc%';
-#
-#	Top 10 function calls for a specific symbol (e.g. whose symbol_id is 187):
-#
-#		SELECT * FROM calls_view WHERE symbol_id = 187 ORDER BY elapsed_time DESC LIMIT 10;
-#
-#	Show function calls made by function in the same context (i.e. same call path) (e.g. one with call_path_id 254):
-#
-#		SELECT * FROM calls_view WHERE parent_call_path_id = 254;
-#
-#	Show branches made during a function call (e.g. where call_id is 29357 and return_id is 29370 and tid is 29670)
-#
-#		SELECT * FROM samples_view WHERE id >= 29357 AND id <= 29370 AND tid = 29670 AND event LIKE 'branches%';
-#
-#	Show transactions:
-#
-#		SELECT * FROM samples_view WHERE event = 'transactions';
-#
-#		Note transaction start has 'in_tx' true whereas, transaction end has 'in_tx' false.
-#		Transaction aborts have branch_type_name 'transaction abort'
-#
-#	Show transaction aborts:
-#
-#		SELECT * FROM samples_view WHERE event = 'transactions' AND branch_type_name = 'transaction abort';
-#
-# To print a call stack requires walking the call_paths table.  For example this python script:
-#   #!/usr/bin/python2
-#
-#   import sys
-#   from PySide.QtSql import *
-#
-#   if __name__ == '__main__':

-# To use this script you will need to have installed package python-pyside which
-# provides LGPL-licensed Python bindings for Qt.  You will also need the package
-# libqt4-sql-sqlite for Qt sqlite3 support.
-#
-# Examples of installing pyside:
-#
-# ubuntu:
-#
-#	$ sudo apt-get install python-pyside.qtsql libqt4-sql-psql
-#
-#	Alternately, to use Python3 and/or pyside 2, one of the following:
-#
-#		$ sudo apt-get install python3-pyside.qtsql libqt4-sql-psql
-#		$ sudo apt-get install python-pyside2.qtsql libqt5sql5-psql
-#		$ sudo apt-get install python3-pyside2.qtsql libqt5sql5-psql
-# fedora:
-#
-#	$ sudo yum install python-pyside
-#
-#	Alternately, to use Python3 and/or pyside 2, one of the following:
-#		$ sudo yum install python3-pyside
-#		$ pip install --user PySide2
-#		$ pip3 install --user PySide2
-#
-# An example of using this script with Intel PT:
-#
-#	$ perf record -e intel_pt//u ls
-#	$ perf script -s ~/libexec/perf-core/scripts/python/export-to-sqlite.py pt_example branches calls
-#	2017-07-31 14:26:07.326913 Creating database...
-#	2017-07-31 14:26:07.538097 Writing records...
-#	2017-07-31 14:26:09.889292 Adding indexes
-#	2017-07-31 14:26:09.958746 Done
-#
-# 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.
-#
-# The database structure is practically the same as created by the script
-# export-to-postgresql.py. Refer to that script for details.  A notable
-# difference is  the 'transaction' column of the 'samples' table which is
-# renamed 'transaction_' in sqlite because 'transaction' is a reserved word.

[PATCH v6 55/59] perf Makefile: Update Python script installation path

[Ian Rogers]

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 v6 56/59] perf script: Refactor to support standalone scripts and remove legacy features

[Ian Rogers]

- 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.

[PATCH v6 57/59] perf Documentation: Update for standalone Python scripts and remove obsolete data

[Ian Rogers]

- Remove documentation for -g and -s options in perf-script.txt.
- Remove links to perf-script-perl in perf-script.txt.
- Rewrite perf-script-python.txt to describe the new standalone script
  usage with perf module.
- Remove obsolete perf-script-perl.txt.

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

v6:
- Updated `perf-script-python.txt` to use indented code blocks to fix
  man page formatting, and documented `find_thread` and `elf_machine`.

--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):

-	except TypeError:
-		syscalls[id] = 1
-
-def print_syscall_totals():
-    if for_comm is not None:
-	    print "\nsyscall events for %s:\n\n" % (for_comm),
-    else:
-	    print "\nsyscall events:\n\n",
-
-    print "%-40s  %10s\n" % ("event", "count"),
-    print "%-40s  %10s\n" % ("----------------------------------------", \
-                                 "-----------"),
-
-    for id, val in sorted(syscalls.iteritems(), key = lambda(k, v): (v, k), \
-				  reverse = True):
-	    print "%-40s  %10d\n" % (syscall_name(id), val),
-----
-
-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

-
-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 Object
 
-Some fields have sub items:
+Passed to the callback function in `perf.session`.
 
-brstack:
-    from, to, from_dsoname, to_dsoname, mispred,
-    predicted, in_tx, abort, cycles.
+- `evsel`: The event selector (name of the event).

-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"])

-  available via 'perf script -l').  The following variants allow you to
-  record and run those scripts:
-
-  'perf script record <script> <command>' to record the events required
-  for 'perf script report'.  <script> is the name displayed in the
-  output of 'perf script --list' i.e. the actual script name minus any

-  recorded using the -a (system-wide) 'perf record' option.
-
-  'perf script report <script> [args]' to run and display the results
-  of <script>.  <script> is the name displayed in the output of 'perf
-  script --list' i.e. the actual script name minus any language
-  extension.  The perf.data output from a previous run of 'perf script
-  record <script>' is used and should be present for this command to
-  succeed.  [args] refers to the (mainly optional) args expected by

-  should be specified before <command>.  This mode doesn't allow for
-  optional script args to be specified; if optional script args are
-  desired, they can be specified using separate 'perf script record'
-  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 -'

[PATCH v6 59/59] perf sched stats: Fix segmentation faults in diff mode

[Ian Rogers]

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.

perf net_dropmonitor: Port net_dropmonitor to use python module

This commit ports the net_dropmonitor python script to use a class
structure and the perf.session API instead of legacy global handlers.
It also cleans up Python 2 compatibility artifacts.

>     - Maintained the manual /proc/kallsyms reading and binary search for
>       symbol resolution as in the original script.

The commit message states that manual /proc/kallsyms reading and
binary search for symbol resolution are maintained. However, the patch
replaces this logic entirely with sample.symbol and sample.symoff.

Is this description accurate, or was the commit message not updated to
match the code?

Will this use the instruction pointer of the event itself (typically
within kfree_skb) instead of the actual drop location?

The original script aggregated packet drops by examining the location
tracepoint argument, which points to the network driver or subsystem
that dropped the packet. Using sample.symbol and sample.symoff
attributes all packet drops to kfree_skb itself rather than their true
source.

> +            self.drop_log[(symbol, symoff)] += 1

Is this exception block reachable?

Because getattr() is used with a default value, it won't raise an
AttributeError if the attribute is missing. Events without symbols
will be recorded under the ('[unknown]', 0) key in self.drop_log
instead of incrementing self.unhandled.

Does this sort the output by syscall ID instead of the event count?

The commit message demonstrates the expected output being sorted in descending
order by event count, but this seems to sort in ascending order by syscall ID.

Can this fail to filter correctly if the user filters by PID 0?

Since for_pid would be 0, it evaluates as falsy in Python, which would bypass
this early return and process syscalls for all processes. Should this check
for_pid is not None instead?

perf rw-by-pid: Port rw-by-pid to use python module

This commit ports the legacy Perl script rw-by-pid.pl to a python script
using the perf module in tools/perf/python. It tracks read and write
activity by PID for all processes.

Is this description accurate?

The commit message mentions extracting helper methods like
_handle_sys_enter_read to satisfy pylint. However, the implementation
keeps all event processing logic within a single process_event method and
bypasses the linter with a disable comment instead.

Are there raw_syscalls tracepoints with the syscall name appended?

The raw_syscalls subsystem typically provides generic sys_enter and sys_exit
tracepoints without the syscall name. Do these specific string checks for
raw_syscalls:sys_enter_read (and the similar exit and write variants) match
any real kernel tracepoints, or does this result in dead code?

providing a performance improvement.

Will this strict equality fail if the user specifies event modifiers?

If a user records with modifiers like perf record -e raw_syscalls:sys_enter:u,
the string conversion will return "evsel(raw_syscalls:sys_enter:u)". This
would cause the check to fail and silently drop the events.

Does using sample.sample_pid here break comm resolution for child threads?

The Python extension for session.find_thread maps to
machine__find_thread(machine, pid, pid). Since child threads have a TID
that differs from their PID, they might fail to resolve or misattribute
to the main thread.

The old script received the common_comm argument directly from perf, which
avoided this issue.

perf wakeup-latency: Port wakeup-latency to use python module

This commit ports the legacy Perl script wakeup-latency.pl to a Python script
utilizing the perf module. It implements a class-based architecture to
measure wakeup latency by tracking timestamps of sched:sched_wakeup and
sched:sched_switch events.

Is it possible for the true minimum wakeup latency to exceed 1 second
(1,000,000,000 ns)? By initializing the minimum latency to this hardcoded
value, any actual latency greater than 1 second will be ignored since the
min() calculation will prefer the initialized value, artificially capping
the results.

Will this output an incorrect minimum latency if no wakeups are processed?
The average latency correctly handles the zero-wakeup case by printing N/A,
but the minimum latency will unconditionally print the hardcoded
initialization value.

lookups, and adds command-line filtering for COMM or PID.

The commit message states the script uses nested statistics aggregation, but
the implemented code defines a flat dictionary. Should this be a nested
dictionary, or should the commit message be updated?

Does the unhandled dictionary get used anywhere else? It appears to be
populated during event processing but is never printed or accessed in the
summary output.

Can this raise a TypeError if the thread is not found? The perf Python
module's C implementation raises a TypeError when a thread lookup fails,
rather than returning None. 

If an unmapped thread is encountered, will this terminate the script
prematurely?

Since current_syscall_id is not tracked during this iteration, will the script
print the syscall name header multiple times if a single syscall returns
several different error codes?

Also, is it intended that the output is now sorted alphabetically by the keys
rather than in descending order by occurrence count? The original script
sorted by frequency to highlight the most common failures.

If process_events terminates early due to an exception, like the TypeError
mentioned above, will the script exit without showing any of the accumulated
metrics? 

Would it be helpful to call analyzer.print_summary() in this exception
handler as well so partial results are not lost?

perf python: Move exported-sql-viewer.py and parallel-perf.py to tools/perf/python/

This commit moves standalone Python scripts to tools/perf/python. It is
part of an effort to deprecate the tools/perf/scripts/python support.

> diff --git a/tools/perf/scripts/python/exported-sql-viewer.py b/tools/perf/python/exported-sql-viewer.py
> similarity index 99%
> rename from tools/perf/scripts/python/exported-sql-viewer.py
> rename to tools/perf/python/exported-sql-viewer.py

Will this rename cause an ImportError when executing exported-sql-viewer.py?

The script contains the import "from libxed import LibXED", but libxed.py
remains in tools/perf/scripts/python/ in this patch. Because the old scripts
directory is no longer in the default path, the execution will fail.

This regression is fixed later in the series by the commit
"perf intel-pt-events: Port intel-pt-events/libxed to use python module".

Also, does moving these scripts cause them to be dropped during make install?

The installation rule in tools/perf/Makefile.perf targets
scripts/python/*.py. Since the scripts are moved without updating the
Makefile in the same patch, they are silently dropped from the final
installation.

This installation regression is fixed later in the series by the commits
"perf: Remove libpython support and legacy Python scripts" and
"perf Makefile: Update Python script installation path".

Because parallel-perf.py is dropped from the installation, does this skip

perf mem-phys-addr: Port mem-phys-addr to use python module

This commit adds a Python script that uses the perf python session API to

to memory types by parsing /proc/iomem.

Will this cause a TypeError on Python versions older than 3.9? Generic type
hints in standard collections like list require Python 3.9+. Older Python
versions commonly used in enterprise distributions might fail here.

Similarly, will using set[] instead of Set[] from the typing module cause

Does this break compatibility with Python versions older than 3.10? The key
parameter in bisect.bisect_right() was introduced in Python 3.10, so this
might result in a TypeError on older systems.

Since bisect.bisect_right() always returns an integer, is this check for
None necessary?

> +            continue
> +        iomem_entry = iomem[i][position-1]

If phys_addr is smaller than the lowest address in the list, position will
be 0. This would result in accessing index -1, which fetches the last element
of the list via negative indexing wrap-around.

While the bounds check below will handle it safely, relying on this behavior
seems logically incorrect. Would it be better to check for position == 0
instead of checking for None?

Because process_event() evaluates thousands or millions of samples, won't
this print statement cause massive log spam and severely degrade performance
for unmapped physical addresses?

perf stat-cpi: Port stat-cpi to use python module

This patch ports stat-cpi.py from the legacy framework to a standalone script
that supports both file processing and live mode. It accumulates cycles and
instructions to calculate and display Cycles Per Instruction per interval per
CPU or thread.

Does this subtraction work correctly for both file and live modes?

In file mode, PERF_RECORD_STAT events provide cumulative, absolute values, so
taking the difference here extracts the interval delta correctly.

However, in live mode, read_counters() calls evsel.read(). The Python perf
extension (pyrf_evsel__read in tools/perf/util/python.c) already computes
and returns the delta since the last read.

If counts already contains the interval delta in live mode, won't subtracting
prev_val here effectively calculate current_delta - previous_delta, leading to
invalid or negative values?

Also, since the run delta is typically constant across intervals, wouldn't
cur_run become near zero and break the multiplexing scaling math in get()?

Will this condition unintentionally drop raw_syscalls:sys_exit events?

The stringified event name for raw syscall exits is
"evsel(raw_syscalls:sys_exit)", which does not have a trailing underscore.
Because the startswith check here specifically includes the trailing
underscore, it looks like traces recorded with raw_syscalls:sys_exit will be
discarded prematurely, leaving the script with empty output.

Will this crash the script if the thread cannot be found?

The Python extension function pyrf_session__find_thread() in
tools/perf/util/python.c raises a TypeError if the thread lookup fails:

tools/perf/util/python.c:pyrf_session__find_thread() {
    ...
    thread = machine__findnew_thread(machine, -1, pid);

The commit message states that ANSI escape codes are used to clear the

Does this incorrectly classify a return value of 0 as an error?

A return value of 0 from read or write typically indicates End-Of-File (EOF)
or a 0-byte transfer, which are standard, non-error conditions. True syscall
errors are usually indicated by negative return values.

This might unnecessarily pollute the error statistics with false positives.

Can this fallback mechanism cause an unhandled exception and crash?

The raw_syscalls subsystem exposes generic sys_enter and sys_exit tracepoints,
but there are no syscall-specific variants like raw_syscalls:sys_enter_read.

Because of this, the second LiveSession constructor will likely raise another
OSError that is not caught, crashing the script instead of providing a
graceful fallback.

Should this also print the unhandled events summary?

When exiting live mode via KeyboardInterrupt, only print_totals() is called.
The script fails to print the unhandled events dictionary, which is normally
printed when processing a perf.data file offline in run().

Will this syntax cause a module load crash on older Python versions? 

Subscripting standard collections directly for type hints was introduced
in Python 3.9. On older versions, like Python 3.6 or 3.8, this raises a
TypeError indicating the type object is not subscriptable, which prevents
the script from running.

Are we looking up the correct thread for the event here? By passing
sample.sample_pid, which corresponds to the process ID, instead of
sample.sample_tid, we might systematically look up the main thread
instead of the specific secondary thread that triggered the event.

How does the script handle threads that are not found?

Looking at pyrf_session__find_thread() in tools/perf/util/python.c,
failing to locate a thread results in a Python TypeError being raised.
Since there is no try/except block around the find_thread() call,
encountering an unknown thread (which can happen with ring buffer
overruns or dropped events) could cause the script to immediately crash.

In live mode, analyzer.session is None, so this falls back to
getattr(sample, "comm", "Unknown"). Since LiveSession reads raw RECORD_SAMPLE
events without maintaining a thread map, will sample.comm always evaluate to
"Unknown"?

If sample.comm is always "Unknown" in live mode, will filtering by command
name silently drop all events and present an empty screen?

In offline mode, events are processed as fast as they can be read. Does
clearing the terminal here cause the screen to flash and hide all but the
final interval's data from the user?

This isn't a bug, but since this has been ported to a standalone Python
script, is this usage message misleading?

Is it possible for the interval to be zero or negative here?

If 0 or a negative number is provided, in live mode
self.stop_event.wait(self.interval) will return immediately. Will this cause
the background thread to spin in a tight loop and max out a CPU core?

If an IOError occurs, the error message is printed. However, the finally block
either calls analyzer.print_current_totals() (in offline mode) or unblocks the
background thread which calls it (in live mode).

Since print_current_totals() unconditionally clears the screen with
"\x1b[2J\x1b[H", will this immediately erase the error message and hide the
failure reason from the user?

perf powerpc-hcalls: Port powerpc-hcalls to use python module

This commit ports the powerpc-hcalls script to use the perf python module.
It refactors the script to use a class structure and tracks hypercall
entry/exit to calculate duration and aggregate statistics.

Will using sample_pid (which corresponds to the Thread Group ID) cause
statistics to be corrupted for multi-threaded virtual machines?

Since QEMU uses multiple vCPU threads under a single process, concurrent
hypercalls from different vCPUs might share the same sample_pid and
overwrite each other's entry state in self.d_enter.

Should this use sample.sample_tid or CPU ID to track individual threads
instead?

> +        time = sample.time

Does the perf Python API expose the timestamp as sample.time?

Looking at the perf Python extension, the timestamp is typically exposed as
sample.sample_time. If the time attribute doesn't exist, will it raise
an AttributeError and cause the script to fail on the first event?

perf futex-contention: Port futex-contention to use python module

This commit rewrites the futex-contention python script to use the perf

and improves performance significantly.

Does this code silently drop futex wait events and degrade performance when a
thread cannot be resolved?

If session.find_thread(tid) raises a TypeError, the exception is caught but
the early return skips recording the start_time:

> +        start_times[tid] = (uaddr, start_time)

Additionally, because the unresolved thread isn't added to process_names
(e.g., as 'unknown'), the slow lookup and exception handling are redundantly
executed on every event for that thread.

Since the output logic explicitly handles missing thread names:

[ ... ]
> +    for ((t, u), stats) in sorted(durations.items()):
> +        avg_ns = stats.avg()
> +        print(f"{process_names.get(t, 'unknown')}[{t}] lock {u:x} contended {stats.count} times, "
> +              f"{avg_ns:.0f} avg ns [max: {stats.max_time} ns, min {stats.min_time} ns]")

Should the exception handler skip the early return, and should unresolved
threads be negatively cached to avoid repeated lookups?

perf intel-pt-events: Port intel-pt-events/libxed to use python module

This commit ports the intel-pt-events.py script to use the newer perf Python
module, refactoring it into a class-based structure. It eliminates global
state, drops Python 2 compatibility checks, and updates libxed.py methods to
snake_case.

Will this code raise an unhandled struct.error exception and abort the
processing loop if a malformed perf.data trace provides a raw_buf smaller than
12 bytes, or an empty byte string? This pattern also appears in print_mwait,
print_pwrx, and other similar functions.

Does the perf.sample_event C extension expose this property as sample_tid
rather than tid? If so, will accessing sample.tid raise an AttributeError on
the first event and crash the script?

Have these legacy metric fields been renamed in the new perf Python module API?
If the module exports them as sample_cyc_count and sample_insn_count instead
of cyc_cnt and insn_cnt, getattr will always return 0 and silently bypass the
IPC string generation. Other legacy fields like symoff and flags_disp might
also be missing from the new API.

If symbol resolution fails in the C extension and
pyrf_sample_event__get_symbol returns None instead of "[unknown]", will
the comparison symbol == "[unknown]" evaluate to False? This would cause the
else branch to execute, attempting to concatenate None with a string (offs),
which would raise a TypeError.

Are context switch events functional with this configuration? The script accepts
the --all-switch-events argument and checks the self.switch_str dictionary when
processing samples, but the perf.session setup only registers the sample
callback. Is there a missing callback registration needed to populate the
dictionary with context switch events?

perf compaction-times: Port compaction-times to use python module

This commit adds a Python port of the compaction-times script that directly
uses the perf python module. This approach is intended to be faster by
avoiding the creation of intermediate dictionaries for all event fields.

Does using sample.sample_pid instead of sample.sample_tid change the
script's aggregation behavior from per-thread to per-process? The
original script used common_pid, which typically corresponds to the
thread ID.

> +    comm = session.find_thread(pid).comm() if session else "[unknown]"

Could this crash the script if it encounters an untracked or short-lived
thread?

When session.find_thread() fails to locate a thread in the machine's
thread map, it explicitly throws a TypeError. Because this exception is
not caught here, a missing thread could cause a fatal Python exception,
halting the entire trace processing.

Additionally, passing the TGID from sample_pid instead of the TID might
exacerbate this issue if a child thread triggers the event and the main
thread's metadata is absent.

This property returns the same pyrf_branch_stack object on every access. Since
pyrf_branch_stack is a stateful iterator that modifies pstack->pos, will
accessing event.brstack a second time return an exhausted iterator yielding
zero elements?

Does setting pstack->pevent = pevent and pevent->brstack = pstack create an
unbreakable reference cycle?

Since neither pyrf_event nor pyrf_branch_stack implement Python's cyclic
garbage collection interface, Python's GC won't be able to detect or break
this cycle.

When the external references to the event are dropped, won't this permanently
leak the event, the branch stack, and the pstack->entries array for every
processed sample?

Is the pstack->pevent reference needed, given that pstack->entries is an
independent copy and pstack->pevent appears unused during iteration?

perf export-to-sqlite: Port export-to-sqlite to use python module

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.

Are sym_offset, transaction_, in_tx, and flags actually exposed by the perf
python module? It looks like they might be missing from the
pyrf_sample_event__members definition, which would cause getattr() to
silently return 0.

> +            sample.sample_ip, sample.sample_time, sample.sample_cpu,

SQLite enforces a 64-bit signed integer limit for its INTEGER type. Will this
cause an OverflowError if sample.sample_ip contains a kernel address (which
often has the high bit set, making it too large for a signed 64-bit integer)?

> +            0, 0, 0, 0,  # to_dso, to_symbol, to_sym_offset, to_ip

It looks like branch stack data is now completely hardcoded to 0. Does this
code skip processing the sample.brstack property, dropping branch analysis
data from the database?

Are the property names correct for data_src, insn_count, and cyc_count?

Looking at tools/perf/util/python.c, it seems these should be prefixed with
sample_ (e.g., sample_data_src, sample_insn_count, sample_cyc_count).

Without the prefix, won't getattr() silently fall back to 0?

perf flamegraph: Port flamegraph to use python module

This commit adds a Python port of the flamegraph script that directly uses
the perf module. It avoids intermediate dictionaries to improve performance.

Could this typing syntax introduce a regression on older Python versions?

In Python versions prior to 3.9 (like Python 3.8), built-in types like dict
are not subscriptable. Because there is no
"from __future__ import annotations" directive, these type hints are
evaluated at runtime during class definition, which might prevent the
script from running entirely.

Similarly, does using list[Dict] here cause a TypeError regression on older
Python versions?

Is there a regression here where getattr returns None instead of "[unknown]"
when the symbol is unresolved?

The symbol property on perf.sample_event (defined in
pyrf_sample_event__getset) returns Py_RETURN_NONE when a symbol cannot be
resolved. Since the property exists on the object, getattr() would
successfully return None.

This None value would be assigned to the Node and serialized by json.dumps
as "n": null. The d3-flame-graph JavaScript library strictly expects the node
name to be a string and throws a TypeError when rendering, which would break
the flamegraph UI for unresolved symbols.

This isn't a bug, but there's a missing space between "fetch" and "the" in
the warning message above, resulting in "fetchthe".

Could this sequential replacement introduce a template injection regression?

The options_json string includes user-controlled fields, such as the --event
argument or the perf report header. If a user inputs the exact string
"/** @flamegraph_json **/" into these fields, the first replacement injects
this placeholder into the JavaScript options array literal.

The second replacement would then substitute stacks_json (which contains
unescaped double quotes) into this string literal, breaking the JavaScript
syntax and preventing the flamegraph UI from rendering.

When handle_kfree_skb() processes an event, it updates rec_data with both
'handle' and 'comm':

    rec_data.update({'handle': "kfree_skb",
                     'comm': comm, ...})

Will this cause kfree_skb events to match the "if 'comm' in event"
condition and mistakenly print as successfully copied datagrams?

If a softirq execution processes no packets, event_list will be an empty
list. Since an empty list evaluates to false in Python, will this cause
chunks that process zero packets to be silently dropped?

Does this logic miss consumption events for received SKBs?

Unlike handle_kfree_skb(), which searches rx_skb_list for a matching
skbaddr, this function only iterates over tx_xmit_list. Could this leave
received SKBs in rx_skb_list without marking them as consumed?

Is it possible for the environment's perf bindings to omit the "evsel("
wrapper?

If name does not start with "evsel(", event_data['name'] will remain
unwrapped, so it can still successfully route via handle_single_event().

However, the "if name.startswith('evsel(')" branches here will be skipped,
meaning fields like 'irq' or 'skbaddr' won't be extracted.

Will this lead to KeyError crashes in handler functions like
handle_irq_handler_entry() when they try to access those missing fields?

Is it intentional to manually iterate over sys.argv[1:] after setting up
and calling ap.parse_args()?

This approach seems to disconnect the argument parsing from the argparse
definitions. Valid argparse invocations, such as passing a device name
positionally, appear to be ignored.

perf export-to-postgresql: Port export-to-postgresql to use python module

This commit ports the export-to-postgresql.py script to use the modern perf
Python module API instead of PySide2 and QtSql. It relies on libpq via ctypes
and exports the perf data to a local PostgreSQL database.

The original QtSql-based script exported several specialized tables like
calls, context_switches, ptwrite, mwait, cbr, pwre, exstop, and pwrx.

Will omitting the parsing and export of these tables break downstream
scripts like exported-sql-viewer.py that might rely on them?

PQputCopyData expects a c_void_p for the second argument. Is passing a
ctypes Array instance directly here going to raise a ctypes.ArgumentError?

Would we need to cast it or use ctypes.byref(c_data)?

Branch-related data such as to_dso_id, to_symbol_id, to_sym_offset, to_ip,
and branch_type appear to be hardcoded to 0 here instead of being extracted
from the sample event.

Are we silently dropping the branch stack data here?

Also, no data is written to branch_type_table.bin, leaving the branch_types
table completely empty.

Is it safe to cache DSOs using only their short_name? This might conflate
distinct libraries that share the same basename (like libc.so.6 from a host
vs. container).

Could this merge distinct executables into the same dso_id?

If exporter.setup_db() fails here (e.g. database connection error), the
script exits immediately.

Are we leaving the intermediate directory created by setup_db() orphaned
on the filesystem since the cleanup block below is never reached?

If the user aborts with Ctrl+C, error_occurred would remain False, which
might prevent shutil.rmtree() from running and permanently leak the
intermediate directory.

Also, if an error is caught here, the script still exits with a status of 0.

Should the script return a non-zero exit code on failure to prevent breaking
automated tools or CI pipelines that rely on exit codes?

perf test: Migrate Intel PT virtual LBR test to use Python API

This commit migrates the Intel PT virtual LBR test to use the newly
added brstack iterator API in the perf Python module instead of generating
an ad-hoc Python script.

Does this hardcoded relative path cause regressions for out-of-tree builds?

If built with make O=/tmp/build, the compiled perf C extension is placed in
the build output directory rather than the source tree. It looks like running
this script in such an environment will fail to find the module and crash
with a ModuleNotFoundError.

Could removing the explicit feature check cause false test failures when perf
is built without Python support?

The original code checked perf version --build-options to ensure perf itself
had Python scripting support. The new setup_python.sh only verifies the
presence of a Python interpreter on the host system.

If a user tests a build lacking Python support, setup_python.sh passes, but
the subsequent execution of perf_brstack_max.py crashes when attempting to
import perf. This leaves stdout empty, making times_val evaluate to 0 and
failing the test instead of appropriately skipping it.

perf python: Add syscall name/id to convert syscall number and name

This commit introduces functionality to use perf's syscalltbl support
to convert syscall numbers to names and vice versa within the python
extension. This helps avoid the need for python libaudit support in
certain scripts.

Can this trigger a compiler warning that breaks the build under -Werror
on systems with Python 3.12 or older?

Prior to Python 3.13, PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords() expects a char ** for
its keywords argument. Passing a char * const * discards the const
qualifier, which might generate a -Wincompatible-pointer-types warning.

Does this cause a build failure when perf is built with NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1?

The syscalltbl.o object is only compiled if CONFIG_TRACE is set, which is
enabled only if NO_LIBTRACEEVENT is not set. 

Because python.c calls syscalltbl__name() and syscalltbl__id() unconditionally
without checking if libtraceevent is available, linking the python extension
might fail with an undefined reference when libtraceevent is omitted.

The commit message mentions lazy iteration over callchain frames, but this
appears to eagerly call machine__resolve() and thread__resolve_callchain()
for every sample event with a callchain.

Does this make the lazy evaluation logic in pyrf_callchain__next() dead
code, since pchain->resolved is always set to true here?

Also, could this impose a large performance overhead for scripts that
do not access the callchain property?

> +
> +				pchain = PyObject_New(struct pyrf_callchain, &pyrf_callchain__type);
> +				if (pchain) {

If PyObject_New() fails and returns NULL, the Python C API automatically
sets a MemoryError exception.

Since the code falls through the if block and returns the valid pevent
pointer at the end of the function, does returning a valid object pointer
while an exception indicator is set cause the interpreter to crash with a
SystemError?

Should PyErr_Clear() be called if the intent is to gracefully degrade without
a callchain on allocation failure?

Since pchain holds a strong reference to pevent, and pevent holds a strong
reference to pchain, does this create an uncollectable reference cycle?

Neither of these Python extension types appears to implement Python's
cycle-breaking garbage collector (via Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_GC, tp_traverse,
and tp_clear).

Will this permanently leak the event, the callchain, the frames array,
and the associated map objects when the Python script discards the event?

perf arm-cs-trace-disasm: Port arm-cs-trace-disasm to use python module

This commit adds a python port of the arm-cs-trace-disasm script that directly
uses the perf python module. It aims to speed up execution by avoiding
intermediate dictionary creation and updates the test suite to use the ported
script.

What happens if objdump contains command-line arguments (for example, if a
user configured annotate.objdump to "llvm-objdump --x86-asm-syntax=intel")?

Because check_output() is called with a list, won't it treat the entire
string as the executable name and raise a FileNotFoundError instead of
parsing the arguments?

Is it possible for sample.srccode() to return None?

Looking at pyrf_sample_event__srccode in the C extension, it returns
Py_RETURN_NONE if pyrf_sample_event__resolve_al fails to resolve the sample
address.

If trace data contains unresolvable samples, will this unpack operation fail
with a TypeError?

Are these startswith() checks working as intended?

The pyrf_evsel__str function in tools/perf/util/python.c formats the string
representation as evsel(<name>) (e.g., "evsel(instructions:u)").

Does this mean ev_name.startswith("instructions") will always evaluate to
False, causing the script to skip all trace samples?

Does this direct python invocation break the test suite in out-of-tree builds?

Unlike perf script which internally resolves the module, calling the python
interpreter directly without configuring PYTHONPATH or injecting the module
directory into sys.path might cause python to fall back to system paths and
fail to import the local perf module.

Subject: perf evlist: Add reference count

This commit introduces a reference count to the evlist structure. It ensures
that evlists are properly managed with evlist__get() and evlist__put() calls,
changing the Python bindings to handle evlists dynamically instead of cloning
them.

> The combination is needed for the python code to operate correctly (not hit

Does this break bisectability?

Although the commit message states that the python code breakage is fixed in
a later commit in the series, knowingly introducing a broken state in the
middle of a patch series violates strict kernel bisectability rules.

Can this cause heap corruption upon evlist destruction?

Looking at the full context of pyrf_evlist__add(), it appends an interior
pointer to the C evlist:

        Py_INCREF(pevsel);
        evsel = &((struct pyrf_evsel *)pevsel)->evsel;
        ...
        evlist__add(evlist, evsel);

When the newly allocated evlist is destroyed via the introduced evlist__put()
call, it invokes evlist__purge(), which calls evsel__delete() on all contained
events. This would trigger a native free() on the interior pointer 
&pevsel->evsel from the Python-allocated object, leading to an abort in glibc.

While the commit message notes this is fixed later in the series, it leaves
the tree broken at this specific commit.

Does this result in lost mutations and BUG_ON crashes during script execution?

The new pyrf_evsel__from_evsel() call creates a shallow clone of the internal
evsel via evsel__clone(). This means modifications made from Python, such as
evlist[0].sample_period = 100, will only affect the ephemeral clone and are
silently lost for the actual event.

Additionally, evsel__clone() strictly asserts that the event is not open by
checking BUG_ON(orig->core.fd). If a Python script accesses an item after
calling evlist.open(), it will hit this assertion and crash the host process.

Again, while the commit message notes this is fixed later in the series,
it introduces bisectability breakage here.

If standard output is piped, sys.stdout.isatty() is false, which causes the
color mappings to be cleared. Does this unintentionally ignore the 
--stdio-color always argument?

This isn't a bug, but the CSV separator was changed from a semicolon to a

Does truncating the list to 1000 items silently discard task occurrences 
during file-based processing? 

It seems this might cause the subsequent summary calculations to only analyze
a small fraction of large traces, leading to inaccurate statistics.

The summary processing appears to be replaced with a stub that only prints

By draining each CPU's ring buffer entirely before moving to the next, are 
the events processed out of chronological order? 

The Timespans class expects chronological occurrences, so processing them 
sequentially by CPU might corrupt the time tracking and result in negative
inter-task times.

Since both the stat and stat_round event handlers use the same user-provided
psession->stat callback, will this mismatch in arguments cause a TypeError?

The pyrf_session_tool__stat() function calls it with two arguments (the event
and a name string), while this function only passes one argument (the event).

> +	Py_XDECREF(ret);

If PyObject_CallFunction() fails (for example, due to the argument mismatch
mentioned above), it will return NULL and leave an active Python exception in
the thread state.

Since this function doesn't check for ret == NULL to clear the exception or
return an error (unlike pyrf_session_tool__stat() which calls PyErr_Print()),
will returning 0 here leave a pending exception that could cause the Python
interpreter to crash on subsequent C-API calls?

Does this snprintf call ignore the calculated len and copy the rest of the
line instead?

Since p contains the remainder of the line, using sizeof(evname) instead of
len + 1 will capture trailing spaces and subsequent arguments into evname.
This will cause the evsel__name_is() match to fail.

Should this still use len + 1, or perhaps use %.*s with len to properly cap
the parsed token?

perf python: Add wrapper for perf_data file abstraction

This commit adds a python wrapper around the perf_data struct. This wrapper
is intended to support session management within python scripts.

Does perf_data__open() overwrite the user-provided fd?

If the path defaults to "perf.data", it appears perf_data__open() will open
that file from the filesystem and overwrite pdata->data.file.fd with the new
file descriptor.

Alternatively, if the path is explicitly set to "-" to trigger pipe mode,
the underlying check_pipe() function unconditionally assigns STDIN_FILENO
for read operations.

Could this sequence cause the provided fd to be leaked and completely ignored?

Also, can opening a FIFO here block the entire Python process?

perf_data__open() eventually executes a blocking open(path, O_RDONLY) system
call. 

Since the Python Global Interpreter Lock (GIL) is not released before
this blocking I/O operation (for example, by using Py_BEGIN_ALLOW_THREADS),
will this freeze all other Python threads and prevent Python-level signal
handlers like Ctrl+C from executing if the FIFO is waiting for a writer?

perf evsel: Add reference count

This commit adds reference counting to evsel to resolve issues with the
python code cloning evsels. It initializes the count to 1 at allocation
and updates the Python bindings to use getset functions and reference
counting instead of cloning.

Does this code allow a NULL pointer dereference if the python object is
instantiated without calling __init__?

While tp_getattro was added to check for initialization during attribute
reads, it seems tp_setattro is not overridden.

When setting an attribute, the setter is called directly and blindly
dereferences pevsel->evsel, which would be NULL and crash the interpreter.
The same issue appears to exist in pyrf_evlist__add below.

Does this code leak the Python pevsel object?

The patch changes the C evsel to be reference counted, and evsel__get takes
a reference for the evlist.

However, Py_INCREF is still used here without a corresponding Py_DECREF
because pevlist does not track it internally, leading to a memory leak every
time evlist.add is called.

Additionally, as mentioned above, if pevsel was created without __init__,
evsel would be NULL here, leading to a crash when dereferencing
evsel->core.idx.

Can this cause a use-after-free?

evlist__id2evsel returns a borrowed reference from the evlist without
incrementing the refcount. Calling evsel__put here drops a reference it never
acquired, which might prematurely free the evsel while it remains in the
evlist.

Note that I see this was addressed in a later commit 7675a76ec470 ("perf
evlist: Add reference count checking") which adds the missing evsel__get.

Could the new open flag be uninitialized in some call paths?

Looking at perf_sched__schedstat_diff() in tools/perf/builtin-sched.c, the
data array is allocated on the stack:

tools/perf/builtin-sched.c:perf_sched__schedstat_diff() {
    ...
    struct perf_data data[2];
    ...
    data[0].path = sched->old_file;
    data[0].mode = PERF_DATA_MODE_READ;
    ...
}

Since the struct isn't zero-initialized, could data[0].open and data[1].open
contain stack garbage?

If data->open happens to evaluate to true, perf_data__open() will return 0
without actually opening the file or initializing the file descriptor.

This could cause __perf_session__new() to read from an uninitialized file
descriptor.

I see this regression is fixed later in the series by commit
81cf4f4c4c1266ce2e1faa604bb84ef9cfc8657f (perf sched stats: Fix segmentation
faults in diff mode), but I wanted to point it out here.

Does this leak the desc->half_liner string? If a script has a fallback line
that allocates memory here, and then a proper "description:" tag is found
later in the loop, it looks like desc->half_liner is overwritten without
freeing the original allocation.

Since parse_options_subcommand() was already called earlier in this function,
are the parsed command-line options (like --cpu or --time) getting silently
discarded?

When running a standalone script, the parent process skips the perf_session
event processing loop where these options are normally applied. Because argc
and argv are already stripped of these options, the child script won't see
them either, which might lead to filtering options being ignored without
notifying the user.

What happens if waitpid() is interrupted by a signal, like a terminal resize
causing an EINTR error?

If waitpid() returns -1, the condition evaluates to false and the function
continues execution instead of returning. This looks like it would
inadvertently fall through to initialize a perf_session and process or dump
the rest of the data file while the script is still running.

When cptr2 becomes NULL because the second list is shorter, cs2 is not
reset to NULL at the start of the loop.

Could this cause the check here to spuriously fail and abort the diff
because cs2 retains the pointer from the previous iteration?

This patch adds bounds checking for the CPU IDs, but ds1->domain is read
from the data file and used directly as an array index here.

Should we also add bounds checking against cd_info1->nr_domains to prevent
out-of-bounds reads if the domain index is invalid?

Similarly, if dptr2 becomes NULL because the second file has fewer domains,
ds2 is not reset to NULL inside the domain iteration loop.

Does this result in print_domain_stats() computing diffs using stale ds2
data from the previous domain instead of handling the domain as missing?

perf Makefile: Update Python script installation path

This commit replaces the libpython feature test with a python-module feature
test and updates the associated build configuration. It also changes the
installation directory for Python scripts from the legacy scripts/python path
to a direct python directory under libexec.

Does this regression silently drop Python scripts from the perf report
interactive script browser? 

Looking at tools/perf/ui/browsers/scripts.c, find_scripts() still hardcodes
its search path to scripts/. Because the scripts are now installed directly
under python/, the readdir loop will fail to discover them.

Additionally, the same browser code contains:

tools/perf/ui/browsers/scripts.c:find_scripts() {
    ...
#ifndef HAVE_LIBPYTHON_SUPPORT
        if (strstr(lang_dirent->d_name, "python"))
                continue;
#endif
    ...
}

Since the libpython feature name was removed and HAVE_LIBPYTHON_SUPPORT
is no longer generated, won't this check always trigger, causing the browser
to unconditionally ignore Python scripts even if the directory search path
were updated?

Because the definition for make_no_scripts was removed, run += make_no_scripts
will evaluate to an empty target. Does this regression cause the test
harness to silently run a default build without passing NO_PYTHON_MODULE=1?

Similarly, should make_minimal have been updated to include NO_PYTHON_MODULE=1
instead of just dropping NO_LIBPYTHON=1? Without it, the test suite no
longer explicitly verifies that perf builds successfully without Python support.

perf evlist: Add reference count checking

This patch adds reference counting and checking for evlist to ensure gets and
puts are paired correctly. It also renames evlist__mmap to evlist__do_mmap
and introduces accessors for evlist variables.

Does this code leak the source evlist when splicing entries?

When evsel entries are moved from one evlist to another via
evlist__splice_list_tail(), their pos->evlist back-pointers are not updated.

When evlist__purge() later cleans up the destination evlist, it does a
minimal put on the old pos->evlist. However, if refcount_dec_and_test()
returns true, the result is ignored, so the cleanup logic and actual freeing
of the old evlist are bypassed.

Additionally, since the old evlist is now empty, a normal evlist__put() on
it would fail to break the reference cycle because it loops over an empty
list, failing to find the outstanding references.

Can this sequence lead to a double-free memory corruption?

If two threads concurrently release their external references to an evlist,
both might see refcount_dec_and_test() return false.

If they both proceed to read the refcount, iterate over the list, and
decrement count to 0, wouldn't both threads independently jump to out_delete
and free the evlist twice?

Does this leak the evsel reference?

We acquire an evsel reference using evsel__get() here, but unlike
evlist__deliver_deferred_callchain() which correctly drops it via
evsel__put() after delivery, the reference doesn't seem to be released
after calling evlist__deliver_sample().

Could this also leak the evsel reference?

Similar to the regression in session__flush_deferred_samples(), we get
a reference via evsel__get() when populating a missing sample->evsel,
but there appears to be no corresponding evsel__put() after the tool
callbacks are invoked.

Will this cause processing delays and dropped events?

If reading a single event drops the unread data below the wakeup watermark,
the next poll() call will block until more events arrive or the 100ms
timeout expires.

Should this code repeatedly call read_on_cpu() in an inner loop until it
returns None before polling again, to avoid a poll() syscall for every
single event?

Does catching Exception and passing here silently swallow errors in the
user's callback?

If sample_callback() contains bugs and raises an exception like
AttributeError or TypeError, it will be silently ignored without a traceback.

Could the try block be narrowed to only wrap the read_on_cpu() operation?

If `--itrace=l` is used (so `last_branch` is true but `add_last_branch` is
false), does `evsel->core.attr.sample_type` retain the `PERF_SAMPLE_AUX`
flag here?

If the flag remains set, wouldn't `perf_event__sample_event_size()` include
the massive `sample->aux_sample.size` in the new event size, potentially
exceeding `PERF_SAMPLE_MAX_SIZE` (64KB) and causing `perf inject` to abort
with `-EFAULT` below?

Does this code leave `event_copy->header.misc` uninitialized?

Since `event_copy` is allocated via `malloc()` without clearing the memory,
and `type` and `size` are set explicitly but `misc` is skipped, could this
write uninitialized heap memory into the `misc` field? This might corrupt
privilege level flags like `PERF_RECORD_MISC_USER` and break symbol resolution.

Can hardcoding `0` for `branch_sample_type` cause the `hw_idx` field to be
omitted from the synthesized binary event payload?

If the trace decoder setup configures synthetic event attributes with
`PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_HW_INDEX`, tools parsing this injected `perf.data` file
will expect the 8-byte `hw_idx` field. Its absence could cause out-of-bounds
reads and corrupt parsing for subsequent sample fields.

perf python: Add python session abstraction wrapping perf's session

This commit adds a Python wrapper around perf_session to allow using
perf.data files within a Python tool. It supports passing a sample
callback that runs during event processing and exposes thread and comm
string queries.

If the thread does not have a command string associated with it,
thread__comm_str() returns null. Does passing null to PyUnicode_FromString()
cause a segmentation fault?

Should this check the pointer and return Py_None instead?

If pyrf_event__new() fails, it sets a Python exception and returns null. By
returning -ENOMEM here, does the error propagate up to
pyrf_session__find_thread_events() where it returns PyLong_FromLong(err)?

Returning a valid Python object while an exception is active violates the
Python C-API contract and triggers a fatal SystemError crash.

Since evsel__parse_sample() dynamically allocates memory for user_regs,
intr_regs, and callchain, does setting these pointers to null leak the
memory?

When the Python object is garbage collected, the cleanup function
perf_sample__exit() will be a no-op, leaking the allocations on every parsed
event with registers.

Note: This issue was fixed later in the patch series by commit "perf python:
Refactor and add accessors to sample event".

If the user-provided callback raises an exception, does calling PyErr_Print()
swallow the exception by clearing the Python error indicator?

This prevents the calling code from properly catching it.

Python users can bypass __init__ by directly invoking
perf.session.__new__(perf.session). Since PyType_GenericNew
zero-initializes the object, psession->session remains null.

Will calling this method then blindly dereference psession->session and
cause a segmentation fault?

Since Python allows calling __init__ multiple times on an existing
instance, does unconditionally overwriting psession->pdata, psession->sample,
and psession->session without releasing prior allocations leak C structures
and Python reference counts?

Similar to the __init__ bypass mentioned above, if psession->session
is null, does passing it to perf_session__process_events() result in a
segmentation fault?

perf python: Refactor and add accessors to sample event

This commit refactors the Python perf module by adding a common evsel
field for events, moving sample specific fields to only be present in
sample events, and adding accessors for sample events.

It looks like .tp_dealloc and .tp_new are not initialized for
pyrf_comm_event__type or pyrf_read_event__type in this patch.

Since pyrf_event__new() now unconditionally calls evsel__parse_sample(),
which populates the sample and grabs an evsel reference, will this leak
memory and evsel references when the Python garbage collector cleans up
COMM and READ events?

Is it possible for map__dso(pevent->al.map) to return a NULL pointer here?

If a map doesn't have an associated DSO, passing it directly to dso__name(),
dso__long_name(), or dso__bid() could cause a segmentation fault. I notice
that pyrf_sample_event__srccode() safely checks if the DSO exists before
using it:

	if (al.map) {
		struct dso *dso = map__dso(al.map);

		if (dso) {
			srcfile = get_srcline_split(dso, ...);

Would it make sense to add a similar check to these getters?

Since map__start() and map__end() return 64-bit unsigned integers (u64)
to handle 64-bit virtual addresses via PAE, does passing them to
PyLong_FromUnsignedLong() truncate the addresses on 32-bit architectures?

Would it be safer to use PyLong_FromUnsignedLongLong() here, similar to
how map__pgoff() and the symbol boundaries are handled?

The code allocates a variable amount of memory based on event->header.size,
but the Python types (like pyrf_mmap_event__type) declare their size
statically with .tp_basicsize = sizeof(struct pyrf_event).

Is it valid in the Python C API to allocate a smaller buffer than what is
defined in .tp_basicsize?

If a malformed file provides an intentionally small header.size, could
this lead to out-of-bounds heap accesses? The PyMemberDef structures use
fixed offsets (like offsetof(struct perf_record_mmap, filename)), so if
Python scripts access these properties, they might blindly read or write
past the end of the undersized allocation.

perf python: Use evsel in sample in pyrf_event

Avoid a duplicated evsel by using the one in sample. Add evsel__get/put to
the evsel in perf_sample.

> +	data->evsel = evsel__get(evsel);

Will this leak the evsel reference for non-SAMPLE event types in the Python
bindings?

In tools/perf/util/python.c, pyrf_evlist__read_on_cpu() calls
evsel__parse_sample() for all event types read from the ring buffer. This now
unconditionally acquires an evsel reference.

However, pyrf_event__setup_types() only registers the custom destructor
pyrf_sample_event__delete() (which calls perf_sample__exit() to drop the
reference) for pyrf_sample_event__type. Other event types fall back to the
default deallocator, bypassing perf_sample__exit(). When these objects are
garbage collected, the evsel reference appears to be permanently leaked.

I see this regression was fixed later in the series in commit 1daefbea296a47c
("perf python: Refactor and add accessors to sample event"), but wanted
to confirm the behavior introduced here.

Could this also cause an evsel reference leak for deferred callchains?

In tools/perf/util/session.c, both evlist__deliver_deferred_callchain() and
session__flush_deferred_samples() process deferred samples by calling
evlist__parse_sample(), which internally calls evsel__parse_sample(),
acquiring the reference here.

Immediately after, both functions execute:

    sample.evsel = evlist__id2evsel(evlist, sample.id);
    if (sample.evsel)
        sample.evsel = evsel__get(sample.evsel);

Does this overwrite the non-NULL sample.evsel pointer without dropping the
original reference, and then increment the reference count a second time?

If so, perf_sample__exit() will only drop one reference, permanently leaking
the first one for every deferred sample.

[PATCH v7 00/59] perf: Reorganize scripting support

[Ian Rogers]

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 01/59] perf inject: Fix itrace branch stack synthesis

[Ian Rogers]

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 .

[PATCH v7 05/59] perf script: Sort includes and add missed explicit dependencies

[Ian Rogers]

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

[Ian Rogers]

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

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 10/59] perf evlist: Add reference count

[Ian Rogers]

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.

[PATCH v7 11/59] perf evsel: Add reference count

[Ian Rogers]

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.

Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>
---
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 12/59] perf evlist: Add reference count checking

[Ian Rogers]

Now the evlist is reference counted, add reference count checking so
that gets and puts are paired and easy to debug. Reference count
checking is documented here:
https://perfwiki.github.io/main/reference-count-checking/

This large patch is adding accessors to evlist functions and switching
to their use. There was some minor renaming as evlist__mmap is now an
accessor to the mmap variable, and the original evlist__mmap is
renamed to evlist__do_mmap.

Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>

v2:

1. Fixed Memory Leak in evlist__new : Added free(evlist) in the else
   branch if ADD_RC_CHK fails, preventing a leak of the allocated raw
   structure.

2. Fixed Potential NULL Dereference: Added a NULL check after
   from_list_start(_evlist) in perf_evlist__mmap_cb_get() .

3. Fixed Use-After-Free Risk: In evlist__add() , I changed
   entry->evlist = evlist; to entry->evlist = evlist__get(evlist);
   . This ensures that the evsel holds a valid reference (wrapper) to
   the evlist , preventing it from becoming a dangling pointer if the
   original wrapper is freed.

4. Fixed Test Masking Bug: In test__perf_time__parse_for_ranges() , I
   replaced TEST_ASSERT_VAL with a manual check and return false; to
   avoid boolean evaluation of -1 inadvertently passing the test.

5. Fix reference count checker memory leaks from missed puts and due
   to cyclic evsel to evlist references. A leak still exists in
   __perf_evlist__propagate_maps due to empty CPU maps and not
   deleting the removed evsel.

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 15/59] perf python: Add python session abstraction wrapping perf's session

[Ian Rogers]

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()
...

```

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.

   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 16/59] perf python: Add syscall name/id to convert syscall number and name

[Ian Rogers]

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 17/59] perf python: Refactor and add accessors to sample event

[Ian Rogers]

Add common evsel field for events and move sample specific fields to
only be present in sample events. Add accessors for sample events.

Assisted-by: Gemini:gemini-3.1-pro-preview
Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>
---
v5:
1. Fix Uninitialized Memory: Restore zero-initialization of `pevent->sample`
   in `pyrf_event__new()` to prevent wild free crashes on error paths.

v6:
- Refactored `pyrf_event__new` to take `evsel` and `session`, and use
  dynamic allocation based on event size. Updated callers.

[PATCH v7 18/59] perf python: Add callchain support

[Ian Rogers]

Implement pyrf_callchain_node and pyrf_callchain types for lazy
iteration over callchain frames. Add callchain property to
sample_event.

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

1. Eager Callchain Resolution: Moved the callchain resolution from
   deferred iteration to eager processing in
   pyrf_session_tool__sample() .  This avoids risks of reading from
   unmapped memory or following dangling pointers to closed sessions.

2. Cached Callchain: Added a callchain field to struct pyrf_event to
   store the resolved object.

3. Simplified Access: pyrf_sample_event__get_callchain() now just
   returns the cached object if available.

4. Avoided Double Free: Handled lazy cleanups properly.

v6:
- Moved callchain resolution from `session_tool__sample` to
  `pyrf_event__new`.

[PATCH v7 20/59] perf python: Extend API for stat events in python.c

[Ian Rogers]

Add stat information to the session. Add call backs for stat events.

Assisted-by: Gemini:gemini-3.1-pro-preview
Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>
---
v5:
1. Fix Memory Corruption: Corrected the memory offset for `stat_round_type`
   in `pyrf_stat_round_event__members` by adding the base offset of
   `struct pyrf_event`.
2. Fix Memory Leak: Added `Py_XDECREF()` to free the unused return value
   of the Python callback in `pyrf_session_tool__stat_round()`.

---
v7:
- Added comprehensive size checks in pyrf_event__new for all event
  types.
- Fixed line length warning.

[PATCH v7 21/59] perf python: Expose brstack in sample event

[Ian Rogers]

Implement pyrf_branch_entry and pyrf_branch_stack for lazy
iteration over branch stack entries.

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

1. Avoided Keyword Collision: Renamed the properties "from" and "to"
   to "from_ip" and "to_ip" in pyrf_branch_entry__getset[] to prevent
   syntax errors in Python.

2. Eager Branch Stack Resolution: Updated pyrf_session_tool__sample()
   to allocate and copy the branch stack entries eagerly when the
   event is processed, instead of deferring it to iteration time. This
   avoids reading from potentially overwritten or unmapped mmap
   buffers.

3. Updated Iterators: Updated pyrf_branch_stack and
   pyrf_branch_stack__next() to use the copied entries rather than
   pointing directly to the sample's buffer.

4. Avoided Reference Leak on Init Failure: Added proper error checking
   for PyModule_AddObject() in the module initialization function,
   decrementing references on failure.

v6:
- Moved branch stack resolution from `session_tool__sample` to
  `pyrf_event__new`.

[PATCH v7 22/59] perf python: Add perf.pyi stubs file

[Ian Rogers]

Add Python type stubs for the perf module to improve IDE support and
static analysis.  Includes docstrings for classes, methods, and
constants derived from C source and JSON definitions.

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

1. Added Missing Module Functions: Added parse_metrics and
   pmus. Renamed metrics to parse_metrics to match python.c .

2. Added Constructors: Added __init__ methods for data , evsel , and
   evlist with their appropriate arguments.

3. Removed sample_comm : Removed it from sample_event since it is not
   exported in python.c .

4. Keyword Handling in branch_entry : I used from_ip and to_ip in the
   stubs to match the rename I did in python.c (in turn 145) to avoid
   the Python from keyword conflict.

5. Added Missing Event Classes: Added mmap_event , lost_event ,
   comm_event , task_event , throttle_event , read_event , and
   switch_event .

6. Added Missing evlist Methods: Added get_pollfd and add .

7. Updated Return Types: Changed process_events to return int .

v6:
- Updated `perf.pyi` to use `find_thread` and `elf_machine`.

[PATCH v7 23/59] perf python: Add LiveSession helper

[Ian Rogers]

Add LiveSession class in tools/perf/python/perf_live.py to support
live event collection using perf.evlist and perf.parse_events,
avoiding the need to fork a separate perf record process.

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

1. Fixed File Descriptor Leak: I moved self.evlist.mmap() inside the
   try block so that if it raises an exception, the finally block will
   still be executed and call self.evlist.close() , preventing file
   descriptor leaks.

2. Handled InterruptedError in poll() : I wrapped the poll() call in a
   try-except block to catch InterruptedError and continue the
   loop. This prevents the live session from crashing on non-fatal
   signals like SIGWINCH .

3. Added evlist.config() : I added a call to self.evlist.config() in
   the constructor after parse_events() . This applies the default
   record options to the events, enabling sampling and setting up
   PERF_SAMPLE_* fields so that the kernel will actually generate
   PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE events.

4. Enable the evlist and be robust to exceptions from reading unsupported
   events like mmap2.

[PATCH v7 24/59] perf python: Move exported-sql-viewer.py and parallel-perf.py to tools/perf/python/

[Ian Rogers]

These scripts are standalone and not using the `perf script` libpython
support. Move to tools/perf/python in an effort to deprecate the
tools/perf/scripts/python support.

Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>
---
v2:
1. Updated exported-sql-viewer.py : I updated the comments at the top
   of the script to use the new path
   tools/perf/python/exported-sql-viewer.py in the usage examples.

2. Fixed Test Path in script.sh : I updated the path in
   tools/perf/tests/shell/script.sh to point to the new location of
   parallel-perf.py at ../../python/parallel-perf.py .

v5:
1. Fix Test 105 Failure: Added a shebang line and marked the generated
   `db_test.py` script as executable in `script.sh`, preventing
   permission denied errors during standalone execution.

Support both file processing mode (using perf.session) and live mode
(reading counters directly via perf.parse_events and evsel.read). Use
argparse for command line options handling. Calculate and display CPI
(Cycles Per Instruction) per interval per CPU/thread.

v2:

1. Accurate CPI Calculation (Multiplexing Support):
  - Before: The get() method returned the raw counter value directly,
    ignoring whether the counter ran for the full interval.

  - After: The get() method now scales the raw value by the ratio of
    enabled time to running time ( val * (ena / float(run)) ) when run
    > 0 . This handles cases where PMU counters are overcommitted and
    multiplexed.

2. Per-Interval CPI in File Mode:
  - Before: store() saved absolute counter values as read from
    PERF_RECORD_STAT . Since these are cumulative from the start of
    the trace, and data.clear() was called every round, the script
    computed cumulative CPI rather than per-interval CPI.

  - After: store() now computes the delta between the current absolute
    value and the value from the previous interval. It saves this
    delta in self.data and retains the absolute value in self.
    prev_data for the next delta computation.

3. Prevention of Dummy Output (Cartesian Product Fix):
  - Before: self.cpus and self.threads lists accumulated all unique
    CPUs and threads seen independently. The nested loops in
    print_interval() then created a Cartesian product of all seen CPUs
    and threads, querying data for combinations that might never have
    occurred.
  - After: Replaced lists with a self.recorded_pairs set that stores
    (cpu, thread) tuples only when a sample actually records them. The
    output loop now iterates strictly over these verified pairs.

[PATCH v7 27/59] perf syscall-counts: Port syscall-counts to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

Rewrite tools/perf/scripts/python/syscall-counts.py to use the python
module and various style changes. By avoiding the overheads in the
`perf script` execution the performance improves by more than 4x as
shown in the following (with PYTHON_PATH and PERF_EXEC_PATH set as
necessary):

```
$ perf record -e raw_syscalls:sys_enter -a sleep 1
...
$ time perf script tools/perf/scripts/python/syscall-counts.py perf
Install the python-audit package to get syscall names.
For example:
  # apt-get install python3-audit (Ubuntu)
  # yum install python3-audit (Fedora)
  etc.

v2:

1. Fallback for Unknown Syscalls: If perf.syscall_name() returns None
   for an unmapped ID, the script now falls back to using the numeric
   ID string. This prevents a TypeError when applying string alignment
   formatting.

2. Fallback for Syscall Number Attribute: The script now checks for
   __syscall_nr first, and if not present (as on some older kernels),
   falls back to checking for nr .

3. Robust Process Resolution: Added a try-except block around
   session.process(sample.pid).comm() . If the process lookup fails
   (returning NULL/None), it falls back to "unknown" instead of
   letting a TypeError crash the script.

4. Support for Custom Input Files: Added a -i / --input command-line
   argument to allow processing arbitrarily named trace files,
   removing the hardcoded "perf.data" restriction.

[PATCH v7 28/59] perf syscall-counts-by-pid: Port syscall-counts-by-pid to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

Rewrite tools/perf/scripts/python/syscall-counts-by-pid.py to use the
python module and various style changes. By avoiding the overheads in
the `perf script` execution the performance improves by more than 3.8x
as shown in the following (with PYTHON_PATH and PERF_EXEC_PATH set as
necessary):

```
$ perf record -e raw_syscalls:sys_enter -a sleep 1
...
$ time perf script tools/perf/scripts/python/syscall-counts-by-pid.py perf
Install the python-audit package to get syscall names.
For example:
  # apt-get install python3-audit (Ubuntu)
  # yum install python3-audit (Fedora)
  etc.

v2:

1. Removed Unused Variable: Removed id_keys which was assigned but
   never read.

2. Fallback for Unknown Syscalls: If perf.syscall_name() returns None
   for an unmapped ID, it now falls back to the numeric ID string to
   prevent TypeError crashes during string formatting.

3. Fallback for Syscall Number Attribute: It now checks for
   __syscall_nr first, and if missing, falls back to checking for nr .

4. Robust Process Resolution: Added a try-except block around
   session.process(sample.pid).comm() to handle untracked PIDs
   gracefully instead of crashing on a TypeError .

5. Restored PID Filtering: The script now attempts to parse the
   positional argument as an integer to filter by Process ID. If that
   fails, it treats it as a command name (COMM) string to filter by,
   restoring behavior from the original legacy script.

6. Support for Custom Input Files: Added a -i / --input command-line
   argument to support arbitrarily named trace files, removing the
   hardcoded "perf.data" restriction.

v2:

1. Fixed Module Import Failure: Corrected the type annotations from
   [int, int] to Tuple[int, int] .  The previous code would raise a
   TypeError at module import time because lists cannot be used as
   types in dictionary annotations.

2. Prevented Out-Of-Memory Crashes: Replaced the approach of storing
   every single duration in a list with a LockStats class that
   maintains running aggregates (count, total time, min, max). This
   ensures O(1) memory usage per lock/thread pair rather than
   unbounded memory growth.

3. Support for Custom Input Files: Added a -i / --input command-line
   argument to support processing arbitrarily named trace files,
   removing the hardcoded "perf.data" restriction.

4. Robust Process Lookup: Added a check to ensure session is
   initialized before calling session.  process() , preventing
   potential NoneType attribute errors if events are processed during
   initialization.

[PATCH v7 31/59] perf gecko: Port gecko to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

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

[PATCH v7 32/59] perf arm-cs-trace-disasm: Port arm-cs-trace-disasm to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

[PATCH v7 33/59] perf check-perf-trace: Port check-perf-trace to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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: Fixed Closure Call: Changed cls.fobj.filter(pid, comm) to
    cls.fobj(pid, comm) . Since fobj is a function (closure) and not a

+Report time spent in memory compaction.
+
+Memory compaction is a feature in the Linux kernel that defragments memory
+by moving used pages to create larger contiguous blocks of free memory. This
+is particularly useful for allocating huge pages.
+
+This script processes trace events related to memory compaction and reports:
+- Total time spent in compaction (stall time).
+- Statistics for page migration (moved vs. failed).
+- Statistics for the free scanner (scanned vs. isolated pages).
+- Statistics for the migration scanner (scanned vs. isolated pages).
+
+Definitions:
+- **Compaction**: Defragmenting memory by moving allocated pages.
+- **Migration**: Moving pages from their current location to free pages found by the free scanner.
+- **Free Scanner**: Scans memory (typically from the end of a zone) to find free pages.
+- **Migration Scanner**: Scans memory (typically from the beginning of a zone)
+  to find pages to move.
+- **Isolated Pages**: Pages that have been temporarily removed from the buddy
+  system for migration or as migration targets.

[PATCH v7 35/59] perf event_analyzing_sample: Port event_analyzing_sample to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

Add a port of the event_analyzing_sample 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.

Assisted-by: Gemini:gemini-3.1-pro-preview

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 36/59] perf export-to-sqlite: Port export-to-sqlite to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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 37/59] perf export-to-postgresql: Port export-to-postgresql to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

Ported from tools/perf/scripts/python/export-to-postgresql.py to use
the perf Python module API.

Assisted-by: Gemini:gemini-3.1-pro-preview
Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>
---
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 38/59] perf failed-syscalls-by-pid: Port failed-syscalls-by-pid to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

Ported from tools/perf/scripts/python/failed-syscalls-by-pid.py to use
the perf Python module API.

Key changes:
- Used perf.syscall_name() to resolve syscall names instead of legacy
  Util library.
- Used standard collections.defaultdict for nested statistics
  aggregation.
- Used errno.errorcode for resolving error strings.
- Supported optional filtering by COMM or PID via command line
  arguments.

v2: Fixed Syscall Name Fallback: Handled the case where
    perf.syscall_name() returns None , falling back to the string
    representation of the syscall ID to avoid TypeError during string
    formatting.

v7:
- Removed dead code (unused self.unhandled dictionary).

[PATCH v7 39/59] perf intel-pt-events: Port intel-pt-events/libxed to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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 40/59] perf net_dropmonitor: Port net_dropmonitor to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

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

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 41/59] perf netdev-times: Port netdev-times to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

Ported from tools/perf/scripts/python/.
- Refactored the script to use a class structure (NetDevTimesAnalyzer)

- Used perf.session for event collection and processed them in time

- Extracted tracepoint fields directly from sample attributes.
- Moved format string constants to module level.
- Cleaned up Python 2 compatibility artifacts (like cmp_to_key).

v2: Corrected Field Names: Fixed getattr calls for skblen and dev_name

[PATCH v7 42/59] perf powerpc-hcalls: Port powerpc-hcalls to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

[PATCH v7 43/59] perf sched-migration: Port sched-migration/SchedGui to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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 44/59] perf sctop: Port sctop to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

[PATCH v7 45/59] perf stackcollapse: Port stackcollapse to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

Assisted-by: Gemini:gemini-3.1-pro-preview
Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>
---
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 46/59] perf task-analyzer: Port task-analyzer to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

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 47/59] perf failed-syscalls: Port failed-syscalls to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

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

[Ian Rogers]

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.

[PATCH v7 49/59] perf rw-by-pid: Port rw-by-pid to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

 - 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 50/59] perf rwtop: Port rwtop to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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 51/59] perf wakeup-latency: Port wakeup-latency to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

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

[Ian Rogers]

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.

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

[PATCH v7 53/59] perf: Remove libperl support, legacy Perl scripts and tests

[Ian Rogers]

Remove libperl support from perf, along with legacy Perl scripts
and their corresponding tests.

Assisted-by: Gemini:gemini-3.1-pro-preview
Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>
---
v5:
1. Fix Buffer Overflows: Added bounds checks in `check_ev_match()` and
   `find_scripts()` to prevent stack and heap buffer overflows when
   parsing long event or script names.

-Perf-Trace-Util version 0.01
-============================
-
-This module contains utility functions for use with perf script.
-
-Core.pm and Util.pm are pure Perl modules; Core.pm contains routines
-that the core perf support for Perl calls on and should always be
-'used', while Util.pm contains useful but optional utility functions
-that scripts may want to use.  Context.pm contains the Perl->C
-interface that allows scripts to access data in the embedding perf
-executable; scripts wishing to do that should 'use Context.pm'.
-
-The Perl->C perf interface is completely driven by Context.xs.  If you
-want to add new Perl functions that end up accessing C data in the
-perf executable, you add desciptions of the new functions here.
-scripting_context is a pointer to the perf data in the perf executable
-that you want to access - it's passed as the second parameter,
-$context, to all handler functions.
-
-After you do that:
-
-  perl Makefile.PL   # to create a Makefile for the next step
-  make               # to create Context.c
-
-  edit Context.c to add const to the char* file = __FILE__ line in
-  XS(boot_Perf__Trace__Context) to silence a warning/error.
-
-  You can delete the Makefile, object files and anything else that was
-  generated e.g. blib and shared library, etc, except for of course
-  Context.c
-
-  You should then be able to run the normal perf make as usual.
-
-INSTALLATION
-
-Building perf with perf script Perl scripting should install this
-module in the right place.
-
-You should make sure libperl and ExtUtils/Embed.pm are installed first
-e.g. apt-get install libperl-dev or yum install perl-ExtUtils-Embed.
-
-DEPENDENCIES
-
-This module requires these other modules and libraries:
-
-  None

[PATCH v7 54/59] perf: Remove libpython support and legacy Python scripts

[Ian Rogers]

This commit removes embedded Python interpreter support from perf, as
all legacy Python scripts have been ported to standalone Python
scripts or are no longer needed.

Changes include:
- Removal of libpython detection and flags from Makefile.config.
- Removal of Python script installation rules from Makefile.perf.
- Deletion of tools/perf/util/scripting-engines/trace-event-python.c.
- Removal of Python scripting operations and setup from
  trace-event-scripting.c.
- Removal of setup_python_scripting() call from builtin-script.c and
  declaration from trace-event.h.
- Removal of Python checks in the script browser (scripts.c).
- Removal of libpython from the supported features list in builtin-check.c
  and Documentation/perf-check.txt.
- Deletion of the legacy Python scripts in tools/perf/scripts/python.

-# Below are some example commands for using this script.
-# Note a --kcore recording is required for accurate decode
-# due to the alternatives patching mechanism. However this
-# script only supports reading vmlinux for disassembly dump,
-# meaning that any patched instructions will appear
-# as unpatched, but the instruction ranges themselves will
-# be correct. In addition to this, source line info comes
-# from Perf, and when using kcore there is no debug info. The
-# following lists the supported features in each mode:
-#
-# +-----------+-----------------+------------------+------------------+
-# | Recording | Accurate decode | Source line dump | Disassembly dump |
-# +-----------+-----------------+------------------+------------------+
-# | --kcore   | yes             | no               | yes              |

-#
-# 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'.
-#
-#	calls
-#
-#		'calls' represents function calls and is related to 'samples' by 'call_id' and 'return_id'.
-#		'calls' is only created when the 'calls' option to this script is specified.
-#
-#	call_paths
-#
-#		'call_paths' represents all the call stacks.  Each 'call' has an associated record in 'call_paths'.
-#		'calls_paths' is only created when the 'calls' option to this script is specified.
-#
-#	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:
-#
-#		calls_view
-#		call_paths_view
-#		comm_threads_view
-#		dsos_view
-#		machines_view
-#		samples_view
-#		symbols_view
-#		threads_view
-#
-# More examples of browsing the database with psql:
-#   Note that some of the examples are not the most optimal SQL query.
-#   Note that call information is only available if the script's 'calls' option has been used.
-#
-#	Top 10 function calls (not aggregated by symbol):
-#
-#		SELECT * FROM calls_view ORDER BY elapsed_time DESC LIMIT 10;
-#
-#	Top 10 function calls (aggregated by symbol):
-#
-#		SELECT symbol_id,(SELECT name FROM symbols WHERE id = symbol_id) AS symbol,
-#			SUM(elapsed_time) AS tot_elapsed_time,SUM(branch_count) AS tot_branch_count

-# 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.
-#
-# The database structure is practically the same as created by the script
-# export-to-postgresql.py. Refer to that script for details.  A notable
-# difference is  the 'transaction' column of the 'samples' table which is
-# renamed 'transaction_' in sqlite because 'transaction' is a reserved word.

[PATCH v7 55/59] perf Makefile: Update Python script installation path

[Ian Rogers]

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 56/59] perf script: Refactor to support standalone scripts and remove legacy features

[Ian Rogers]

- 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.

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

[PATCH v7 57/59] perf Documentation: Update for standalone Python scripts and remove obsolete data

[Ian Rogers]

- Remove documentation for -g and -s options in perf-script.txt.
- Remove links to perf-script-perl in perf-script.txt.
- Rewrite perf-script-python.txt to describe the new standalone script
  usage with perf module.
- Remove obsolete perf-script-perl.txt.

Assisted-by: Gemini:gemini-3.1-pro-preview
Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>
---
v6:
- Updated `perf-script-python.txt` to use indented code blocks to fix
  man page formatting, and documented `find_thread` and `elf_machine`.

-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):

-sys.path.append(os.environ['PERF_EXEC_PATH'] + \
-	'/scripts/python/Perf-Trace-Util/lib/Perf/Trace')

-def trace_end():
-	print_syscall_totals()

-def raw_syscalls__sys_enter(event_name, context, common_cpu,
-	common_secs, common_nsecs, common_pid, common_comm,
-	id, args):
-	try:
-		syscalls[id] += 1
-	except TypeError:
-		syscalls[id] = 1
-
-def print_syscall_totals():
-    if for_comm is not None:
-	    print "\nsyscall events for %s:\n\n" % (for_comm),
-    else:
-	    print "\nsyscall events:\n\n",
-
-    print "%-40s  %10s\n" % ("event", "count"),
-    print "%-40s  %10s\n" % ("----------------------------------------", \
-                                 "-----------"),
-
-    for id, val in sorted(syscalls.iteritems(), key = lambda(k, v): (v, k), \
-				  reverse = True):
-	    print "%-40s  %10d\n" % (syscall_name(id), val),
-----
-
-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}")

-----
+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: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,
-addr, symbol, symoff, dso, time_enabled, time_running, values, callchain,
-brstack, brstacksym, datasrc, datasrc_decode, iregs, uregs,
-weight, transaction, raw_buf, attr, cpumode.
+Represents a trace file.
 
-Fields that may also be present:
+- `__init__(filename, mode=perf.DATA_MODE_READ)`: Opens a trace file.
 
- flags - sample flags
- flags_disp - sample flags display
- insn_cnt - instruction count for determining instructions-per-cycle (IPC)
- cyc_cnt - cycle count for determining IPC
- addr_correlates_sym - addr can correlate to a symbol
- addr_dso - addr dso
- addr_symbol - addr symbol
- addr_symoff - addr symbol offset
+### Sample Object
 
-Some fields have sub items:
+Passed to the callback function in `perf.session`.
 
-brstack:
-    from, to, from_dsoname, to_dsoname, mispred,
-    predicted, in_tx, abort, cycles.
+- `evsel`: The event selector (name of the event).
+- `sample_cpu`: The CPU on which the event occurred.
+- `sample_time`: The timestamp of the event.
+- `sample_pid`: The PID of the process.
+- `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"])

-  available via 'perf script -l').  The following variants allow you to
-  record and run those scripts:
-
-  'perf script record <script> <command>' to record the events required
-  for 'perf script report'.  <script> is the name displayed in the
-  output of 'perf script --list' i.e. the actual script name minus any

-  of <script>.  <script> is the name displayed in the output of 'perf
-  script --list' i.e. the actual script name minus any language
-  extension.  The perf.data output from a previous run of 'perf script
-  record <script>' is used and should be present for this command to
-  succeed.  [args] refers to the (mainly optional) args expected by

-  not specified, the events are recorded using the -a (system-wide)
-  'perf record' option.  If <script> has any required args, they
-  should be specified before <command>.  This mode doesn't allow for
-  optional script args to be specified; if optional script args are
-  desired, they can be specified using separate 'perf script record'
-  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.
-
-  'perf script <top-script>' to both record the events required for
-  <top-script> and to run the <top-script> using 'live-mode'
-  i.e. without writing anything to disk.  <top-script> is the name
-  displayed in the output of 'perf script --list' i.e. the actual
-  script name minus any language extension; a <top-script> is defined
-  as any script name ending with the string 'top'.
-
-  [<record-options>] can be passed to the record steps of 'perf script
-  record' and 'live-mode' variants; this isn't possible however for
-  <top-script> 'live-mode' or 'perf script report' variants.

[PATCH v7 59/59] perf sched stats: Fix segmentation faults in diff mode

[Ian Rogers]

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 00/59] perf: Reorganize scripting support

[Ian Rogers]

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 01/59] perf inject: Fix itrace branch stack synthesis

[Ian Rogers]

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 .

[PATCH v7 02/59] perf arch arm: Sort includes and add missed explicit dependencies

[Ian Rogers]

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

[PATCH v7 05/59] perf script: Sort includes and add missed explicit dependencies

[Ian Rogers]

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

[Ian Rogers]

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 10/59] perf evlist: Add reference count

[Ian Rogers]

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.

[PATCH v7 11/59] perf evsel: Add reference count

[Ian Rogers]

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.

Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>
---
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 12/59] perf evlist: Add reference count checking

[Ian Rogers]

Now the evlist is reference counted, add reference count checking so
that gets and puts are paired and easy to debug. Reference count
checking is documented here:
https://perfwiki.github.io/main/reference-count-checking/

This large patch is adding accessors to evlist functions and switching
to their use. There was some minor renaming as evlist__mmap is now an
accessor to the mmap variable, and the original evlist__mmap is
renamed to evlist__do_mmap.

Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>

v2:

1. Fixed Memory Leak in evlist__new : Added free(evlist) in the else
   branch if ADD_RC_CHK fails, preventing a leak of the allocated raw
   structure.

2. Fixed Potential NULL Dereference: Added a NULL check after
   from_list_start(_evlist) in perf_evlist__mmap_cb_get() .

3. Fixed Use-After-Free Risk: In evlist__add() , I changed
   entry->evlist = evlist; to entry->evlist = evlist__get(evlist);
   . This ensures that the evsel holds a valid reference (wrapper) to
   the evlist , preventing it from becoming a dangling pointer if the
   original wrapper is freed.

4. Fixed Test Masking Bug: In test__perf_time__parse_for_ranges() , I
   replaced TEST_ASSERT_VAL with a manual check and return false; to
   avoid boolean evaluation of -1 inadvertently passing the test.

5. Fix reference count checker memory leaks from missed puts and due
   to cyclic evsel to evlist references. A leak still exists in
   __perf_evlist__propagate_maps due to empty CPU maps and not
   deleting the removed evsel.

[PATCH v7 13/59] perf python: Use evsel in sample in pyrf_event

[Ian Rogers]

Avoid a duplicated evsel by using the one in sample. Add
evsel__get/put to the evsel in perf_sample.

[PATCH v7 14/59] perf python: Add wrapper for perf_data file abstraction

[Ian Rogers]

The perf_data struct is needed for session supported.

Assisted-by: Gemini:gemini-3.1-pro-preview

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 15/59] perf python: Add python session abstraction wrapping perf's session

[Ian Rogers]

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']
['__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']
['__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 16/59] perf python: Add syscall name/id to convert syscall number and name

[Ian Rogers]

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 17/59] perf python: Refactor and add accessors to sample event

[Ian Rogers]

Add common evsel field for events and move sample specific fields to
only be present in sample events. Add accessors for sample events.

Assisted-by: Gemini:gemini-3.1-pro-preview
Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>
---
v5:
1. Fix Uninitialized Memory: Restore zero-initialization of `pevent->sample`
   in `pyrf_event__new()` to prevent wild free crashes on error paths.

v6:
- Refactored `pyrf_event__new` to take `evsel` and `session`, and use
  dynamic allocation based on event size. Updated callers.

[PATCH v7 18/59] perf python: Add callchain support

[Ian Rogers]

Implement pyrf_callchain_node and pyrf_callchain types for lazy
iteration over callchain frames. Add callchain property to
sample_event.

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

1. Eager Callchain Resolution: Moved the callchain resolution from
   deferred iteration to eager processing in
   pyrf_session_tool__sample() .  This avoids risks of reading from
   unmapped memory or following dangling pointers to closed sessions.

2. Cached Callchain: Added a callchain field to struct pyrf_event to
   store the resolved object.

3. Simplified Access: pyrf_sample_event__get_callchain() now just
   returns the cached object if available.

4. Avoided Double Free: Handled lazy cleanups properly.

v6:
- Moved callchain resolution from `session_tool__sample` to
  `pyrf_event__new`.

[PATCH v7 20/59] perf python: Extend API for stat events in python.c

[Ian Rogers]

Add stat information to the session. Add call backs for stat events.

Assisted-by: Gemini:gemini-3.1-pro-preview
Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>
---
v5:
1. Fix Memory Corruption: Corrected the memory offset for `stat_round_type`
   in `pyrf_stat_round_event__members` by adding the base offset of
   `struct pyrf_event`.
2. Fix Memory Leak: Added `Py_XDECREF()` to free the unused return value
   of the Python callback in `pyrf_session_tool__stat_round()`.

---
v7:
- Added comprehensive size checks in pyrf_event__new for all event
  types.
- Fixed line length warning.

[PATCH v7 21/59] perf python: Expose brstack in sample event

[Ian Rogers]

Implement pyrf_branch_entry and pyrf_branch_stack for lazy
iteration over branch stack entries.

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

1. Avoided Keyword Collision: Renamed the properties "from" and "to"
   to "from_ip" and "to_ip" in pyrf_branch_entry__getset[] to prevent
   syntax errors in Python.

2. Eager Branch Stack Resolution: Updated pyrf_session_tool__sample()
   to allocate and copy the branch stack entries eagerly when the
   event is processed, instead of deferring it to iteration time. This
   avoids reading from potentially overwritten or unmapped mmap
   buffers.

3. Updated Iterators: Updated pyrf_branch_stack and
   pyrf_branch_stack__next() to use the copied entries rather than
   pointing directly to the sample's buffer.

4. Avoided Reference Leak on Init Failure: Added proper error checking
   for PyModule_AddObject() in the module initialization function,
   decrementing references on failure.

v6:
- Moved branch stack resolution from `session_tool__sample` to
  `pyrf_event__new`.

[PATCH v7 22/59] perf python: Add perf.pyi stubs file

[Ian Rogers]

Add Python type stubs for the perf module to improve IDE support and
static analysis.  Includes docstrings for classes, methods, and
constants derived from C source and JSON definitions.

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

1. Added Missing Module Functions: Added parse_metrics and
   pmus. Renamed metrics to parse_metrics to match python.c .

2. Added Constructors: Added __init__ methods for data , evsel , and
   evlist with their appropriate arguments.

3. Removed sample_comm : Removed it from sample_event since it is not
   exported in python.c .

4. Keyword Handling in branch_entry : I used from_ip and to_ip in the
   stubs to match the rename I did in python.c (in turn 145) to avoid
   the Python from keyword conflict.

5. Added Missing Event Classes: Added mmap_event , lost_event ,
   comm_event , task_event , throttle_event , read_event , and
   switch_event .

6. Added Missing evlist Methods: Added get_pollfd and add .

7. Updated Return Types: Changed process_events to return int .

v6:
- Updated `perf.pyi` to use `find_thread` and `elf_machine`.

[PATCH v7 23/59] perf python: Add LiveSession helper

[Ian Rogers]

Add LiveSession class in tools/perf/python/perf_live.py to support
live event collection using perf.evlist and perf.parse_events,
avoiding the need to fork a separate perf record process.

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

1. Fixed File Descriptor Leak: I moved self.evlist.mmap() inside the
   try block so that if it raises an exception, the finally block will
   still be executed and call self.evlist.close() , preventing file
   descriptor leaks.

2. Handled InterruptedError in poll() : I wrapped the poll() call in a
   try-except block to catch InterruptedError and continue the
   loop. This prevents the live session from crashing on non-fatal
   signals like SIGWINCH .

3. Added evlist.config() : I added a call to self.evlist.config() in
   the constructor after parse_events() . This applies the default
   record options to the events, enabling sampling and setting up
   PERF_SAMPLE_* fields so that the kernel will actually generate
   PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE events.

4. Enable the evlist and be robust to exceptions from reading unsupported
   events like mmap2.

[PATCH v7 24/59] perf python: Move exported-sql-viewer.py and parallel-perf.py to tools/perf/python/

[Ian Rogers]

These scripts are standalone and not using the `perf script` libpython
support. Move to tools/perf/python in an effort to deprecate the
tools/perf/scripts/python support.

Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>
---
v2:
1. Updated exported-sql-viewer.py : I updated the comments at the top
   of the script to use the new path
   tools/perf/python/exported-sql-viewer.py in the usage examples.

2. Fixed Test Path in script.sh : I updated the path in
   tools/perf/tests/shell/script.sh to point to the new location of
   parallel-perf.py at ../../python/parallel-perf.py .

v5:
1. Fix Test 105 Failure: Added a shebang line and marked the generated
   `db_test.py` script as executable in `script.sh`, preventing
   permission denied errors during standalone execution.

[PATCH v7 25/59] perf stat-cpi: Port stat-cpi to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

Port stat-cpi.py from the legacy framework to a standalone script.
Support both file processing mode (using perf.session) and live mode
(reading counters directly via perf.parse_events and evsel.read). Use
argparse for command line options handling. Calculate and display CPI
(Cycles Per Instruction) per interval per CPU/thread.

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

1. Accurate CPI Calculation (Multiplexing Support):
  - Before: The get() method returned the raw counter value directly,
    ignoring whether the counter ran for the full interval.

  - After: The get() method now scales the raw value by the ratio of
    enabled time to running time ( val * (ena / float(run)) ) when run
    > 0 . This handles cases where PMU counters are overcommitted and
    multiplexed.

2. Per-Interval CPI in File Mode:
  - Before: store() saved absolute counter values as read from
    PERF_RECORD_STAT . Since these are cumulative from the start of
    the trace, and data.clear() was called every round, the script
    computed cumulative CPI rather than per-interval CPI.

  - After: store() now computes the delta between the current absolute
    value and the value from the previous interval. It saves this
    delta in self.data and retains the absolute value in self.
    prev_data for the next delta computation.

3. Prevention of Dummy Output (Cartesian Product Fix):
  - Before: self.cpus and self.threads lists accumulated all unique
    CPUs and threads seen independently. The nested loops in
    print_interval() then created a Cartesian product of all seen CPUs
    and threads, querying data for combinations that might never have
    occurred.
  - After: Replaced lists with a self.recorded_pairs set that stores
    (cpu, thread) tuples only when a sample actually records them. The
    output loop now iterates strictly over these verified pairs.

v2:

1. Fallback for Unknown Syscalls: If perf.syscall_name() returns None
   for an unmapped ID, the script now falls back to using the numeric
   ID string. This prevents a TypeError when applying string alignment
   formatting.

2. Fallback for Syscall Number Attribute: The script now checks for
   __syscall_nr first, and if not present (as on some older kernels),
   falls back to checking for nr .

3. Robust Process Resolution: Added a try-except block around
   session.process(sample.pid).comm() . If the process lookup fails
   (returning NULL/None), it falls back to "unknown" instead of
   letting a TypeError crash the script.

4. Support for Custom Input Files: Added a -i / --input command-line
   argument to allow processing arbitrarily named trace files,
   removing the hardcoded "perf.data" restriction.

v2:

1. Removed Unused Variable: Removed id_keys which was assigned but
   never read.

2. Fallback for Unknown Syscalls: If perf.syscall_name() returns None
   for an unmapped ID, it now falls back to the numeric ID string to
   prevent TypeError crashes during string formatting.

3. Fallback for Syscall Number Attribute: It now checks for
   __syscall_nr first, and if missing, falls back to checking for nr .

4. Robust Process Resolution: Added a try-except block around
   session.process(sample.pid).comm() to handle untracked PIDs
   gracefully instead of crashing on a TypeError .

5. Restored PID Filtering: The script now attempts to parse the
   positional argument as an integer to filter by Process ID. If that
   fails, it treats it as a command name (COMM) string to filter by,
   restoring behavior from the original legacy script.

6. Support for Custom Input Files: Added a -i / --input command-line
   argument to support arbitrarily named trace files, removing the
   hardcoded "perf.data" restriction.

v2:

1. Fixed Module Import Failure: Corrected the type annotations from
   [int, int] to Tuple[int, int] .  The previous code would raise a
   TypeError at module import time because lists cannot be used as
   types in dictionary annotations.

2. Prevented Out-Of-Memory Crashes: Replaced the approach of storing
   every single duration in a list with a LockStats class that
   maintains running aggregates (count, total time, min, max). This
   ensures O(1) memory usage per lock/thread pair rather than
   unbounded memory growth.

3. Support for Custom Input Files: Added a -i / --input command-line
   argument to support processing arbitrarily named trace files,
   removing the hardcoded "perf.data" restriction.

4. Robust Process Lookup: Added a check to ensure session is
   initialized before calling session.  process() , preventing
   potential NoneType attribute errors if events are processed during
   initialization.

v5:
1. Fix Event Filtering: Corrected event filtering check to search for a
   substring match within the parsed event string, preventing all events
   from being dropped due to the `evsel(...)` wrapper.

v6:
- Fixed terminal injection risk by not printing unverified content in
  prompt.

[PATCH v7 31/59] perf gecko: Port gecko to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

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

[PATCH v7 32/59] perf arm-cs-trace-disasm: Port arm-cs-trace-disasm to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

[PATCH v7 33/59] perf check-perf-trace: Port check-perf-trace to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

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

[PATCH v7 34/59] perf compaction-times: Port compaction-times to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

Add a port of the compaction-times 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: Fixed Closure Call: Changed cls.fobj.filter(pid, comm) to
    cls.fobj(pid, comm) . Since fobj is a function (closure) and not a
    class instance, calling .filter() on it would raise an
    AttributeError .

+Report time spent in memory compaction.
+
+Memory compaction is a feature in the Linux kernel that defragments memory
+by moving used pages to create larger contiguous blocks of free memory. This
+is particularly useful for allocating huge pages.
+
+This script processes trace events related to memory compaction and reports:
+- Total time spent in compaction (stall time).
+- Statistics for page migration (moved vs. failed).
+- Statistics for the free scanner (scanned vs. isolated pages).
+- Statistics for the migration scanner (scanned vs. isolated pages).
+
+Definitions:
+- **Compaction**: Defragmenting memory by moving allocated pages.
+- **Migration**: Moving pages from their current location to free pages found by the free scanner.
+- **Free Scanner**: Scans memory (typically from the end of a zone) to find free pages.
+- **Migration Scanner**: Scans memory (typically from the beginning of a zone)
+  to find pages to move.
+- **Isolated Pages**: Pages that have been temporarily removed from the buddy
+  system for migration or as migration targets.

+Ported from tools/perf/scripts/python/compaction-times.py to the modern perf Python module.

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 36/59] perf export-to-sqlite: Port export-to-sqlite to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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 37/59] perf export-to-postgresql: Port export-to-postgresql to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

Ported from tools/perf/scripts/python/export-to-postgresql.py to use
the perf Python module API.

Assisted-by: Gemini:gemini-3.1-pro-preview
Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>
---
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 38/59] perf failed-syscalls-by-pid: Port failed-syscalls-by-pid to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

Ported from tools/perf/scripts/python/failed-syscalls-by-pid.py to use
the perf Python module API.

Key changes:
- Used perf.syscall_name() to resolve syscall names instead of legacy
  Util library.
- Used standard collections.defaultdict for nested statistics
  aggregation.
- Used errno.errorcode for resolving error strings.
- Supported optional filtering by COMM or PID via command line
  arguments.

Assisted-by: Gemini:gemini-3.1-pro-preview
Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>
---
v2: Fixed Syscall Name Fallback: Handled the case where
    perf.syscall_name() returns None , falling back to the string
    representation of the syscall ID to avoid TypeError during string
    formatting.

v7:
- Removed dead code (unused self.unhandled dictionary).

[PATCH v7 39/59] perf intel-pt-events: Port intel-pt-events/libxed to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

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 40/59] perf net_dropmonitor: Port net_dropmonitor to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

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

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 41/59] perf netdev-times: Port netdev-times to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

Ported from tools/perf/scripts/python/.
- Refactored the script to use a class structure (NetDevTimesAnalyzer)

- Used perf.session for event collection and processed them in time

- Cleaned up Python 2 compatibility artifacts (like cmp_to_key).

v2: Corrected Field Names: Fixed getattr calls for skblen and dev_name

[PATCH v7 42/59] perf powerpc-hcalls: Port powerpc-hcalls to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

[PATCH v7 43/59] perf sched-migration: Port sched-migration/SchedGui to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

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

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 44/59] perf sctop: Port sctop to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

[PATCH v7 45/59] perf stackcollapse: Port stackcollapse to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

Assisted-by: Gemini:gemini-3.1-pro-preview

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 46/59] perf task-analyzer: Port task-analyzer to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

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 47/59] perf failed-syscalls: Port failed-syscalls to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

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

[Ian Rogers]

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.

[PATCH v7 49/59] perf rw-by-pid: Port rw-by-pid to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

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 50/59] perf rwtop: Port rwtop to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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 51/59] perf wakeup-latency: Port wakeup-latency to use python module

[Ian Rogers]

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.

---
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 52/59] perf test: Migrate Intel PT virtual LBR test to use Python API

[Ian Rogers]

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.

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

-Perf-Trace-Util version 0.01
-============================
-
-This module contains utility functions for use with perf script.
-
-Core.pm and Util.pm are pure Perl modules; Core.pm contains routines
-that the core perf support for Perl calls on and should always be
-'used', while Util.pm contains useful but optional utility functions
-that scripts may want to use.  Context.pm contains the Perl->C
-interface that allows scripts to access data in the embedding perf
-executable; scripts wishing to do that should 'use Context.pm'.
-
-The Perl->C perf interface is completely driven by Context.xs.  If you
-want to add new Perl functions that end up accessing C data in the
-perf executable, you add desciptions of the new functions here.
-scripting_context is a pointer to the perf data in the perf executable
-that you want to access - it's passed as the second parameter,
-$context, to all handler functions.
-
-After you do that:
-
-  perl Makefile.PL   # to create a Makefile for the next step
-  make               # to create Context.c
-
-  edit Context.c to add const to the char* file = __FILE__ line in
-  XS(boot_Perf__Trace__Context) to silence a warning/error.
-
-  You can delete the Makefile, object files and anything else that was
-  generated e.g. blib and shared library, etc, except for of course
-  Context.c
-
-  You should then be able to run the normal perf make as usual.
-
-INSTALLATION
-
-Building perf with perf script Perl scripting should install this
-module in the right place.
-
-You should make sure libperl and ExtUtils/Embed.pm are installed first
-e.g. apt-get install libperl-dev or yum install perl-ExtUtils-Embed.

[PATCH v7 54/59] perf: Remove libpython support and legacy Python scripts

[Ian Rogers]

This commit removes embedded Python interpreter support from perf, as
all legacy Python scripts have been ported to standalone Python
scripts or are no longer needed.

Changes include:
- Removal of libpython detection and flags from Makefile.config.
- Removal of Python script installation rules from Makefile.perf.
- Deletion of tools/perf/util/scripting-engines/trace-event-python.c.
- Removal of Python scripting operations and setup from
  trace-event-scripting.c.
- Removal of setup_python_scripting() call from builtin-script.c and
  declaration from trace-event.h.
- Removal of Python checks in the script browser (scripts.c).
- Removal of libpython from the supported features list in builtin-check.c
  and Documentation/perf-check.txt.
- Deletion of the legacy Python scripts in tools/perf/scripts/python.

-# To use this script you will need to have installed package python-pyside which
-# provides LGPL-licensed Python bindings for Qt.  You will also need the package
-# libqt4-sql-psql for Qt postgresql support.
-#
-# The script assumes postgresql is running on the local machine and that the
-# user has postgresql permissions to create databases. Examples of installing
-# postgresql and adding such a user are:
-#
-# fedora:
-#
-#	$ sudo yum install postgresql postgresql-server qt-postgresql
-#	$ sudo su - postgres -c initdb
-#	$ sudo service postgresql start
-#	$ sudo su - postgres
-#	$ createuser -s <your user id here>    # Older versions may not support -s, in which case answer the prompt below:
-#	Shall the new role be a superuser? (y/n) y
-#	$ sudo yum install python-pyside
-#
-#	Alternately, to use Python3 and/or pyside 2, one of the following:
-#		$ sudo yum install python3-pyside
-#		$ pip install --user PySide2
-#		$ pip3 install --user PySide2
-#
-# ubuntu:
-#
-#	$ sudo apt-get install postgresql
-#	$ sudo su - postgres
-#	$ createuser -s <your user id here>
-#	$ sudo apt-get install python-pyside.qtsql libqt4-sql-psql
-#
-#	Alternately, to use Python3 and/or pyside 2, one of the following:
-#
-#		$ sudo apt-get install python3-pyside.qtsql libqt4-sql-psql
-#		$ sudo apt-get install python-pyside2.qtsql libqt5sql5-psql
-#		$ sudo apt-get install python3-pyside2.qtsql libqt5sql5-psql
-#
-# An example of using this script with Intel PT:

-# 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'.
-#
-#	calls
-#
-#		'calls' represents function calls and is related to 'samples' by 'call_id' and 'return_id'.
-#		'calls' is only created when the 'calls' option to this script is specified.
-#
-#	call_paths
-#
-#		'call_paths' represents all the call stacks.  Each 'call' has an associated record in 'call_paths'.
-#		'calls_paths' is only created when the 'calls' option to this script is specified.
-#
-#	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:
-#
-#		calls_view
-#		call_paths_view
-#		comm_threads_view
-#		dsos_view
-#		machines_view
-#		samples_view
-#		symbols_view
-#		threads_view
-#
-# More examples of browsing the database with psql:
-#   Note that some of the examples are not the most optimal SQL query.
-#   Note that call information is only available if the script's 'calls' option has been used.
-#
-#	Top 10 function calls (not aggregated by symbol):
-#
-#		SELECT * FROM calls_view ORDER BY elapsed_time DESC LIMIT 10;
-#
-#	Top 10 function calls (aggregated by symbol):
-#
-#		SELECT symbol_id,(SELECT name FROM symbols WHERE id = symbol_id) AS symbol,
-#			SUM(elapsed_time) AS tot_elapsed_time,SUM(branch_count) AS tot_branch_count
-#			FROM calls_view GROUP BY symbol_id ORDER BY tot_elapsed_time DESC LIMIT 10;
-#
-#		Note that the branch count gives a rough estimation of cpu usage, so functions
-#		that took a long time but have a relatively low branch count must have spent time
-#		waiting.
-#
-#	Find symbols by pattern matching on part of the name (e.g. names containing 'alloc'):
-#
-#		SELECT * FROM symbols_view WHERE name LIKE '%alloc%';
-#
-#	Top 10 function calls for a specific symbol (e.g. whose symbol_id is 187):
-#
-#		SELECT * FROM calls_view WHERE symbol_id = 187 ORDER BY elapsed_time DESC LIMIT 10;
-#
-#	Show function calls made by function in the same context (i.e. same call path) (e.g. one with call_path_id 254):
-#
-#		SELECT * FROM calls_view WHERE parent_call_path_id = 254;
-#
-#	Show branches made during a function call (e.g. where call_id is 29357 and return_id is 29370 and tid is 29670)
-#
-#		SELECT * FROM samples_view WHERE id >= 29357 AND id <= 29370 AND tid = 29670 AND event LIKE 'branches%';
-#
-#	Show transactions:
-#
-#		SELECT * FROM samples_view WHERE event = 'transactions';
-#
-#		Note transaction start has 'in_tx' true whereas, transaction end has 'in_tx' false.
-#		Transaction aborts have branch_type_name 'transaction abort'
-#
-#	Show transaction aborts:
-#
-#		SELECT * FROM samples_view WHERE event = 'transactions' AND branch_type_name = 'transaction abort';
-#
-# To print a call stack requires walking the call_paths table.  For example this python script:
-#   #!/usr/bin/python2
-#
-#   import sys
-#   from PySide.QtSql import *
-#

-#                   ret = query.exec_('SELECT * FROM call_paths_view WHERE id = ' + str(call_path_id))

-# To use this script you will need to have installed package python-pyside which
-# provides LGPL-licensed Python bindings for Qt.  You will also need the package
-# libqt4-sql-sqlite for Qt sqlite3 support.
-#
-# Examples of installing pyside:
-#
-# ubuntu:
-#
-#	$ sudo apt-get install python-pyside.qtsql libqt4-sql-psql
-#
-#	Alternately, to use Python3 and/or pyside 2, one of the following:
-#
-#		$ sudo apt-get install python3-pyside.qtsql libqt4-sql-psql
-#		$ sudo apt-get install python-pyside2.qtsql libqt5sql5-psql
-#		$ sudo apt-get install python3-pyside2.qtsql libqt5sql5-psql
-# fedora:
-#
-#	$ sudo yum install python-pyside
-#
-#	Alternately, to use Python3 and/or pyside 2, one of the following:
-#		$ sudo yum install python3-pyside
-#		$ pip install --user PySide2
-#		$ pip3 install --user PySide2
-#
-# An example of using this script with Intel PT:
-#
-#	$ perf record -e intel_pt//u ls
-#	$ perf script -s ~/libexec/perf-core/scripts/python/export-to-sqlite.py pt_example branches calls
-#	2017-07-31 14:26:07.326913 Creating database...
-#	2017-07-31 14:26:07.538097 Writing records...
-#	2017-07-31 14:26:09.889292 Adding indexes
-#	2017-07-31 14:26:09.958746 Done
-#
-# 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.
-#
-# The database structure is practically the same as created by the script
-# export-to-postgresql.py. Refer to that script for details.  A notable
-# difference is  the 'transaction' column of the 'samples' table which is
-# renamed 'transaction_' in sqlite because 'transaction' is a reserved word.

[PATCH v7 55/59] perf Makefile: Update Python script installation path

[Ian Rogers]

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 56/59] perf script: Refactor to support standalone scripts and remove legacy features

[Ian Rogers]

- 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.

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

-perf-script-python - Process trace data with a Python script

 SYNOPSIS
 --------

-'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):

-				  reverse = True):
-	    print "%-40s  %10d\n" % (syscall_name(id), val),
-----
-
-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}")
 
-----

+    session = perf.session(perf.data("perf.data"), sample=process_event)
 
-Once you've done that (don't forget to do a new 'make install',

-List of available trace scripts:
-  wakeup-latency                       system-wide min/max/avg wakeup latency

-  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:

-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"])

 DESCRIPTION
 -----------
@@ -23,52 +20,9 @@ There are several variants of perf script:
   'perf script' to see a detailed trace of the workload that was
   recorded.
 
-  You can also run a set of pre-canned scripts that aggregate and
-  summarize the raw trace data in various ways (the list of scripts is
-  available via 'perf script -l').  The following variants allow you to
-  record and run those scripts:
-
-  'perf script record <script> <command>' to record the events required
-  for 'perf script report'.  <script> is the name displayed in the
-  output of 'perf script --list' i.e. the actual script name minus any
-  language extension.  If <command> is not specified, the events are
-  recorded using the -a (system-wide) 'perf record' option.

[PATCH v7 59/59] perf sched stats: Fix segmentation faults in diff mode

[Ian Rogers]

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.

perf net_dropmonitor: Port net_dropmonitor to use python module

This commit ports the net_dropmonitor script to use the perf python module.
It encapsulates the state in a DropMonitor class and processes events
using perf.session.

>     - Maintained the manual /proc/kallsyms reading and binary search for
>       symbol resolution as in the original script.

Is this description accurate? The manual /proc/kallsyms reading and binary
search logic appears to be entirely missing in the provided script.

Does this resolve the actual drop location? The skb:kfree_skb tracepoint
logs the actual caller responsible for dropping the packet in its payload,
while the event's instruction pointer (which sample.symbol resolves) usually
points to the tracepoint itself. This could result in all dropped packets
being erroneously attributed to kfree_skb rather than their true locations.

Can this exception handler ever be reached? Because getattr is called with
default values, it will return the default instead of raising an
AttributeError if the attribute is missing.

> +            self.unhandled[str(sample.evsel)] += 1

This isn't a bug, but it doesn't look like self.unhandled is ever reported
or used anywhere else in the DropMonitor class.

perf rw-by-pid: Port rw-by-pid to use python module

This commit ports the legacy Perl rw-by-pid script to a Python script using
the perf module. It leverages the perf.session API to track read and write
activity by PID.

> Complications:

This isn't a bug, but the commit message states that helper methods were
extracted to satisfy pylint, whereas the submitted code provides a single
process_event method and uses a pylint disable comment instead. Could the
commit message be updated to reflect the final code?

Is this string slicing robust? If the internal string formatting convention
for evsel changes in the future, could this fail and silently drop events
into the unhandled category?

Are there tracepoints named raw_syscalls:sys_enter_read? The kernel provides
generic raw tracepoints like raw_syscalls:sys_enter and specific ones like
syscalls:sys_enter_read. Does checking for the raw_syscalls variation here
represent dead code?

Does this incorrectly classify an End-of-File as an error? For the read
system call, returning 0 indicates EOF, which is an expected condition.
Treating 0 as an error might artificially inflate the failed reads summary.

Does this over-report the actual bytes written? Using the requested size
from sample.count might be inaccurate if there are partial or failed
writes. Should the actual bytes successfully written be accumulated from
sample.ret in sys_exit_write instead, similar to how reads are handled?

This isn't a bug, but did the sorting logic mistakenly identify
../../../util/cs-etm.h as the primary header for this file?

A source file normally includes its own corresponding header file first
to verify that the header is self-contained. Since this cs-etm.c implements
functions declared in the local "cs-etm.h", that local header would
typically be the primary one.

[ ... ]

Should "cs-etm.h" be placed at the top block instead of being sorted to the
very bottom of the include list?

Leaving the true primary header at the bottom bypasses its self-containedness
check, as the compiler has already parsed all the other system and utility
headers by the time it reaches this one.

perf syscall-counts-by-pid: Port syscall-counts-by-pid to use python module

This commit rewrites the tools/perf/scripts/python/syscall-counts-by-pid.py
script to use the new perf Python module. By bypassing the perf script
execution overhead, it improves performance significantly while displaying
system call totals broken down by syscall and optionally filtered by comm or
PID.

Does this sort order match the expected output?

The commit message demonstrates the syscall output being sorted descending by
frequency count (e.g., 538989, 32, 17, 2, 1).

By sorting on the keys, it looks like the syscalls are printed in ascending
order of their syscall ID instead.

If a user filters by PID 0 (the idle task), will this logic bypass the

Since for_pid evaluates to False in Python when it is 0, it seems the script
would incorrectly accumulate events for all PIDs instead of restricting them
to PID 0.

perf mem-phys-addr: Port mem-phys-addr to use python module

Give an example of using the perf python session API to load a

Does using list[IomemEntry] and set[IomemEntry] break compatibility with
Python versions older than 3.9? These generic type hints were introduced in
Python 3.9, which might cause TypeError crashes on older supported
distributions.

The key parameter for bisect.bisect_right() was introduced in Python 3.10.
Will this cause TypeError crashes on systems with Python 3.9 or older?

> +        if position is None:
> +            continue
> +        iomem_entry = iomem[i][position-1]

Since bisect_right() always returns an integer, position is None will never be
true.

If phys_addr is smaller than the first element's begin address, position will
evaluate to 0. Doesn't this mean position-1 evaluates to -1, accessing the
last element of the list instead of correctly handling the out-of-bounds case?

> +        if  iomem_entry.begin <= phys_addr <= iomem_entry.end:
> +            return iomem_entry

Will this print statement flood standard output if a large number of physical
addresses cannot be resolved? Since find_memory_type() is called for every
sample in the perf data, it might severely degrade performance and make the
intended summary output unreadable.

Does this drop the capability to decode flags into human-readable strings?

The legacy script used C-provided scripting core helpers to translate
raw integers into text, for example translating gfp_flags to GFP_KERNEL.
It looks like this port now just dumps the raw hexadecimal value instead.

Will this crash with an unhandled TypeError for unknown threads?

Looking at pyrf_session__find_thread in tools/perf/util/python.c, the
underlying machine__find_thread lookup raises a TypeError instead of
returning None when a thread is not found.

Encountering a sample for an untracked PID seems like it would crash
the script here instead of falling back to "[unknown]".

Does this cause unhandled events to be printed with an extraneous wrapper?

The string representation method for the evsel wrapper, pyrf_evsel__str,
returns strings formatted like "evsel(sched:sched_switch)".

Since this wrapped string is passed to trace_unhandled(), it seems the
unhandled events summary will print the wrapper text instead of just the
bare event names that the legacy version printed.

Because getattr is called with a default value like '[unknown]', it returns
that default instead of raising an AttributeError when the attribute is
missing. Does this make the try/except construct unnecessary and the except
block unreachable code?

Is the return value of process_events() intentionally ignored?

If the underlying perf_session__process_events C function fails due to a
corrupted perf.data file or a parsing error, will this script silently
continue and generate an incomplete profile without notifying the user?

Serving a predictable filename like gecko_profile.json on localhost could
allow another local user to quickly port scan and download the profile data,
which contains process names and memory trace data.

Could this use a randomly generated token in the filename to prevent local
data leaks?

In headless environments or remote SSH sessions, webbrowser.open(url) fails
and returns False.

Because this return value is ignored and the target url is never printed to
standard output, how can users on headless servers discover the dynamically
assigned port and correct url to access their profile?

perf failed-syscalls-by-pid: Port failed-syscalls-by-pid to use python module

This commit ports the failed-syscalls-by-pid script to use the new perf Python
module API. It updates syscall name resolution, error code strings, and adds
filtering by COMM or PID.

>     - Used standard collections.defaultdict for nested statistics
>       aggregation.

Does the implementation actually use nested statistics aggregation as described
in the commit message?

Looking at the initialization of self.syscalls, it is defined as a flat
dictionary with a 4-tuple key: (comm, pid, syscall_id, ret).

Linear iteration over these flattened keys prints redundant syscall headers for
each distinct error code of a single syscall, instead of grouping them. This
flat structure also breaks the frequency-based sorting of error codes by count.

Can this cause a regression where the event loop aborts prematurely?

If find_thread() fails to find a thread, the underlying C extension raises a
TypeError.

Without a try-except block here, this exception propagates back to the C caller
and causes process_events() to abort the entire event loop, stopping the trace
processing instead of gracefully defaulting to 'Unknown'.

Could this trigger a TypeError crash regression during summary generation?

The thread command extension can return None if a thread lacks a command string.
This None value is then used as the first element in the tuple key for
self.syscalls.

During this sort operation, Python 3 will raise a TypeError when attempting to
compare None with a string, which happens in normal traces.

Does this prevent process name resolution in live mode?

In main(), live_session is used and analyzer.session is never initialized
during live mode. Will this cause the script to always fall back to
f"PID({pid})" during live tracing?

Does this misclassify legitimate syscalls as errors?

A return value of 0 indicates EOF for read() or 0 bytes transferred for
write(), but this logic will fall into the else block and increment the
error counter. Should this check for ret >= 0 instead, since syscall
errors are represented by negative integers?

Does clearing these dictionaries cause us to lose the command name for
syscalls spanning across intervals?

If an interval elapses between a process's sys_enter and sys_exit events,
the dictionary entry is cleared. When the sys_exit handler recreates it
via the defaultdict factory, the comm string will be empty, which might
result in blank command names in the output table.

Will this fallback path crash?

The raw_syscalls subsystem exposes generic sys_enter and sys_exit
tracepoints, but it does not have per-syscall variants like
raw_syscalls:sys_enter_read. If the primary session fails, will this
fallback unconditionally raise another OSError?

perf netdev-times: Port netdev-times to use python module

This commit ports the netdev-times script to a Python module format.
It uses a class structure to encapsulate state and processes events using
perf.session in time order. Tracepoint fields are directly extracted
from sample attributes.

Because handle_kfree_skb() updates rec_data with a 'comm' key, will the
check here for 'comm' match first? This appears to cause kfree_skb events
to be misidentified and printed using the PF_CPY_DGRAM format instead of
PF_KFREE_SKB, making the kfree_skb block dead code.

Does this omit receive tracking for consumed SKBs? The handler only iterates
over tx_xmit_list and returns, failing to check rx_skb_list. This would
leave successfully delivered packets untracked on the receive path,
leaving the consume_skb format logic in print_receive() unused.

Can this cause an unhandled exception if find_thread(pid) returns None?
For idle threads or PIDs missing PERF_RECORD_COMM, find_thread() can fail,
and calling .comm() directly on the result could crash the script.

Does the event name extraction safely handle cases where the event
name does not start with "evsel("? The event_data 'name' handles this,
but the subsequent if/elif chain uses the raw 'name' string and hardcodes
the "evsel(" wrapper. If the string representation lacks this prefix, the
fields might not be extracted, leading to a KeyError later.

Is skblen the correct attribute here? The kernel tracepoint for
skb:skb_copy_datagram_iovec exports this field as "len", so this might
silently default to 0.

Is it expected to iterate directly over sys.argv[1:] here? If an argparse
option like "-i tx" is passed, the manual loop might see 'tx' and
erroneously enable the transmit chart mode instead of respecting the
argparse validation.

perf powerpc-hcalls: Port powerpc-hcalls to use python module

This commit ports the powerpc-hcalls script to use the perf.session
python module. It refactors the code to use an HCallAnalyzer class for
state encapsulation and tracks hcall entry and exit to calculate
statistics.

In the perf Python C extension, the timestamp attribute of a sample event
is exposed as sample_time, not time. Does accessing sample.time raise an
AttributeError here, causing the script to fail on the first event?

Does tracking in-flight hypervisor calls by process ID (pid) corrupt
statistics for multi-threaded applications?

If multiple threads share the same PID and make concurrent hypervisor calls
on different CPUs, the second thread's entry will overwrite the first
thread's entry in self.d_enter[pid].

Since a single CPU can only execute one synchronous hypervisor call at a
time, would it be better to use sample.sample_cpu or sample.sample_tid as
the tracking key instead?

What happens if the sample PID cannot be resolved by the perf session?
Will self.session.find_thread() raise a TypeError?

Also, if the thread is found but has no comm string, will .comm() return None,
causing the .replace(" ", "_") call to raise an AttributeError?

If these exceptions propagate unhandled to the C-level callback, it appears
the event processing loop is aborted. Because the script ignores the return
value of session.process_events(), could this silently truncate the flamegraph
data and exit with a success status?

Would it make sense to wrap these lookups in a try...except block catching
TypeError and AttributeError to allow a fallback to "Unknown" for the comm
string?

Add a port of the flamegraph script that uses the perf python module

If sample.symbol exists but evaluates to None (for example, if the symbol is
unresolved), Python's getattr() will return None rather than falling back to
"[unknown]".

Will this cause the node name to be serialized as {"n": null} in the output
JSON and break the d3-flame-graph rendering?

If the script is invoked with standard output redirected (for example,
"flamegraph.py -o - > output.html"), will this input() prompt be written
directly into the HTML payload and corrupt the output?

Additionally, would the script appear to hang since the user won't see the
prompt on standard error?

If the untrusted perf.data file header contains the string
"/** @flamegraph_json **/", it will be injected into options_json during the
first replacement.

The second replacement will then substitute stacks_json inside the newly
injected placeholder within the options string literal.

Could this result in malformed JavaScript and cause a SyntaxError in the
generated HTML?

Will this exact string match fail if the event is recorded with a modifier?

If the event has a modifier like :k, str(sample.evsel) will include it
(e.g., evsel(raw_syscalls:sys_enter:k)). This would cause the exact equality
check to fail, and the events would be silently dropped, unlike the
subsequent startswith check for evsel(syscalls:sys_enter_ which correctly
handles suffixes.

Does passing the process ID here misattribute events from child threads?

In perf, sample.pid (or sample_pid) represents the thread group leader ID
(TGID/process ID), while sample.tid represents the actual thread ID.

Passing the process ID means the script retrieves the comm of the main thread,
misattributing events from child threads that may have distinct names set via
prctl(PR_SET_NAME).

Should this use the thread ID (e.g., sample.sample_tid) to accurately resolve
the thread and its comm?

Are raw_syscalls:sys_enter_read and raw_syscalls:sys_enter_write actual
tracepoints? The raw_syscalls subsystem typically only defines sys_enter
and sys_exit.

If the intent was to monitor raw_syscalls:sys_enter, wouldn't this require
intercepting raw_syscalls:sys_enter, checking the syscall number in the id
field, and parsing the arguments array?

It appears that raw_syscalls samples do not natively expose named properties
like sample.fd or sample.count. 

Does this mean the script could simply check for syscalls:sys_enter_read and
syscalls:sys_enter_write instead?

perf task-analyzer: Port task-analyzer to use python module

This commit ports task-analyzer.py to tools/perf/python, transitioning
it to a class-based architecture. It adds support for both file mode
and live mode.

If a user requests a CSV summary via --csv-summary but wants standard trace
output on stdout, will this cause the primary trace output to unintentionally
use a comma separator as well?

While _record_cleanup() bounds the list length per TID, it doesn't appear
to evict old TIDs from self.db["tid"] when threads terminate. In a continuous
live trace, could this dictionary grow linearly over time and cause unbounded
memory usage?

If a user provides a single-value string without a colon (e.g.,
--time-limit 12345), won't split(":") return a single-element list and
trigger a ValueError?

Since the C extension defines this field as sample.cpu rather than
sample.sample_cpu, won't accessing sample.sample_cpu unconditionally
raise an AttributeError?

If so, the generic except AttributeError block will silently ignore the
error and return, causing the script to drop all events.

Does the perf.thread C extension object expose a .pid attribute? Looking at
pyrf_thread__type in python.c, it seems to only define a .comm() method,
which would cause an AttributeError here.

Additionally, if self.session.find_thread() cannot find the thread, it
raises a TypeError. Because there is no try/except TypeError block here,
could tracing untracked PIDs crash the script?

It looks like the original comprehensive statistics logic was replaced
with a stub. Are there plans to port the full summary logic, as the
comment suggests?

This isn't a bug, but the CSV delimiter was changed from a semicolon to a
comma. Could this break external parsers that rely on the previous
separator format?

perf failed-syscalls: Port failed-syscalls to use python module

This commit ports the legacy Perl script failed-syscalls.pl to a Python
script. It introduces a class-based FailedSyscalls analyzer that processes
sys_exit events from a perf.data file and tracks failed system calls.

Does the trailing underscore in the raw_syscalls:sys_exit_ pattern cause the
script to inadvertently drop standard raw syscall exit events? The generic raw
syscall exit tracepoint is typically named evsel(raw_syscalls:sys_exit)
without the trailing underscore.

This isn't a bug, but the unhandled dictionary tracks dropped events here
without ever being accessed or printed in the script's output routines. Should
this tracked state be included in the summary table, or is the dictionary
unnecessary?

This is done in an effort to deprecate the tools/perf/scripts/python
support.

Does this change miss updating the installation rules in
tools/perf/Makefile.perf?

If the makefile relies on a rule like install scripts/python/*.py, moving
these scripts means they will no longer be matched and installed by
make install.

When the test suite is executed from an installed environment via
make install-tests, will test_parallel_perf silently skip because
parallel-perf.py is not installed to the expected path?

I note that this regression is fixed later in the patch series by the
commit "perf Makefile: Update Python script installation path".

Does this early return introduce a regression causing silent data loss for
unresolved threads?

If an exception occurs when resolving the thread name, the script returns early
and completely skips the start_times[tid] assignment below. Because the thread
ID is never added to process_names, subsequent events for the same thread will
hit this same branch and fail again, dropping all lock tracking for the thread.

Could the script instead ignore the exception and rely on the
process_names.get(t, 'unknown') fallback during final output?

Will this regression corrupt the contention measurements with bogus data if
tracepoint fields are missing from the sample?

If uaddr or op are not present on the sample object (for example, due to
missing libtraceevent support or unparsed tracepoints), getattr defaults both
variables to 0.

Because 0 exactly matches the value of FUTEX_WAIT, every sys_enter_futex event
(including wakes and requeues) would be incorrectly treated as a wait
contention on lock address 0x0.

Can this loop cause a severe UI freeze when scrolling past the end of the
trace?

If the view is scrolled past the last recorded event, find_time_slice(start)
fails to find an enclosing timeslice and returns -1. However, the fallback
logic intercepts this and sets i = 0, causing the rendering loop to iterate
through every single recorded event in the entire trace.

Because the current view's end timestamp is strictly greater than all
recorded event timestamps, the early exit condition (timeslice.start > end)
is never met.

As a result, the GUI issues an update_rectangle_cpu call for every CPU of
every timeslice in the trace.

For traces containing millions of events, does this trigger millions of
off-screen draw calls on every paint event, freezing the application thread?

Does live mode process filtering work as intended here? The perf.sample_event
object does not natively contain a comm attribute.

Because getattr falls back to "Unknown", the condition comm != self.for_comm
will evaluate to True for any user-specified command name. 

Consequently, if a user specifies a target process in live mode, all events
will be silently filtered out and dropped.

Does this properly evaluate the event timestamp? The python extension exposes
the event timestamp as sample_time, not time.

Because hasattr(sample, "time") always evaluates to False, the script skips
the periodic interval checking block in offline mode and only dumps a single
accumulated output at the end of processing.

What happens if a user provides zero or a negative number for the interval?
The argument parsing does not validate that the interval is strictly positive.

If a zero or negative value is used, self.stop_event.wait(self.interval) in
the background thread returns immediately without sleeping. This causes the
background thread to infinitely spin in a tight loop, constantly clearing
the terminal and maximizing a CPU core.

In offline mode, a negative or zero interval causes the script to print
statistics on every single event, heavily degrading performance.

perf wakeup-latency: Port wakeup-latency to use python module

This commit ports the legacy Perl script wakeup-latency.pl to a Python script
using the perf.session API. It leverages a class-based architecture to track
timestamps between sched_wakeup and sched_switch events to measure latency.

If all recorded wakeup latencies happen to be greater than 1 second
(1,000,000,000 ns), will this hardcoded initialization cause the reported
minimum to be incorrectly capped at 1 second instead of reflecting the actual
minimum latency? 

Could this be initialized to float('inf') or the first observed latency
instead?

When no wakeups are recorded during the session (total_wakeups == 0),
does this code unconditionally print the initialized values for min and max?

It appears this might result in "min_wakeup_latency (ns): 1000000000" and
"max_wakeup_latency (ns): 0" being printed for an empty trace. Should these
outputs also be moved inside the `if self.total_wakeups:` block or given an
"N/A" fallback?

perf python: Expose brstack in sample event

This commit implements pyrf_branch_entry and pyrf_branch_stack to allow
iteration over branch stack entries in perf python scripts.

Does this create an unbreakable Python reference cycle that leaks memory?

The code assigns pstack to pevent->brstack below, and here it assigns pevent
to pstack->pevent while taking a reference via Py_INCREF. Because neither
pyrf_event nor pyrf_branch_stack implements Python's cyclic garbage
collection protocol, the reference counts will never drop to zero.

This means the event object, the pstack object, and the calloc'd
pstack->entries array will be leaked for every sample processed.

Unlike the callchain implementation which requires pevent for lazy resolution,
pyrf_branch_stack__next() iterates entirely over the pstack->entries array
that is eagerly populated via memcpy() below.

Since pstack->pevent appears to be unused during iteration, could we avoid
the memory leak by entirely removing the Py_INCREF(pevent) and
pstack->pevent back-reference?

perf intel-pt-events: Port intel-pt-events/libxed to use python module

This commit refactors intel-pt-events.py to use a class structure and
removes Python 2 compatibility checks. It also renames methods in libxed.py
to snake_case to comply with pylint.

> - Renamed methods in libxed.py to snake_case (Instruction ->

Does this renaming break tools/perf/python/exported-sql-viewer.py?

It appears that script also imports LibXED and might still be calling
the old CamelCase methods (Instruction, SetMode, DisassembleOne), which
could result in an AttributeError when disassembly is enabled.

If raw_buf is empty or undersized, will struct.unpack_from raise a
struct.error here?

Since the callbacks are called in do_process_event() where a missing raw_buf
is explicitly handled by setting raw_buf = b"", the exceptions wouldn't be
caught and might propagate up, aborting the trace analysis.

Are these format codes valid in Python 3 f-strings?

It looks like the 'u' format code is not supported for integers. Evaluating
these might raise a ValueError and cause a runtime crash.

Is the '-' character allowed for string alignment in f-strings?

It looks like the standard f-string format specification doesn't support
the '-' sign for string alignment, which might raise a ValueError when
evaluated.

Could this be a regression of the context switch feature?

It looks like self.switch_str is initialized and consumed here, but never
populated. Additionally, the underlying perf.session API doesn't seem to
expose a context_switch event callback to Python, leaving this as
unreachable code.

Does this script still support exporting synthetic Intel PT events and context

and table schemas for ptwrite, cbr, mwait, pwre, exstop, pwrx, and
context_switches appear to be missing.

Does this loop silently ignore the final result status of the PostgreSQL COPY

If PostgreSQL rejects the data due to a constraint violation, PQgetResult()
yields PGRES_FATAL_ERROR, but this loop clears the result without inspecting
PQresultStatus(), potentially masking silent data loss.

Are the dynamically packed strings validated against the database schema

The comms table defines comm as varchar(16), but unbounded strings are packed
here. If a string exceeds the limit, will PostgreSQL abort the COPY FROM STDIN
command?

Will using the 'q' (signed 64-bit integer) format character in struct.pack
crash the exporter when processing kernel-space instruction pointers?

Since kernel addresses can exceed the maximum positive value of a signed
64-bit integer, should the 'Q' (unsigned 64-bit) specifier be used instead?

Are the attribute names for the sample fields correct, and are branch targets
being handled?

The fields data_src, insn_count, and cyc_count differ from the actual
sample_data_src, sample_insn_count, and sample_cyc_count names. Additionally,
the branch target fields (to_ip, to_dso_id, to_symbol_id, to_sym_offset) are
hardcoded to 0 instead of being extracted from sample.brstack.

Will this result in missing sample fields being silently exported as zeroes?

Is the call path tree constructed upside-down here?

By iterating sequentially over sample.callchain (from index 0 upwards) and
using the newly generated ID as the parent_id for the next frame, the caller
becomes a child of the callee. Should this be iterating in reverse to
properly build parent-child aggregation?

This isn't a bug, but were the foreign key constraints from the original
implementation intentionally dropped?

The previous script enforced relational integrity by adding foreign keys at
the end of the export, which seem to be missing here.

Could exceptions in setup_db() bypass the cleanup logic?

If setup_db() fails, the script will terminate immediately without executing
the finally block, which might leave orphaned temporary directories on the
filesystem.

perf export-to-sqlite: Port export-to-sqlite to use python module

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.

Are we missing the database tables and views required for Intel PT profiling?

The commit message advertises Intel PT support and points users to
exported-sql-viewer.py, but this script appears to omit all database views
except samples_view (such as comm_threads_view or context_switches_view).

It also drops tables for context switches, the calls table, and Intel PT
synthetic events (like ptwrite, mwait, pwre, exstop) which were present
in the original script. Won't this break features in downstream viewers
and remove the advertised Intel PT profiling capabilities?

Does inserting the operating system pid into the process_id column break the
foreign key relationship?

In the standard perf sqlite export schema, the process_id column is a foreign
key representing the database primary key (id) of the main thread. Because
the raw operating system pid (e.g., 1234) does not match the script's internal
auto-incrementing database id, won't downstream joins fail and break thread
groupings?

Does caching solely by the string comm break the database relationship?

If multiple distinct threads use the same command name (e.g., python), won't
the second thread hit the cache, receive the exact same comm_id, and bypass
the database insertion that links its thread_id to that comm_id in the
comm_threads table? Should the cache key include the thread_id?

Similar to the comms cache, will caching solely by short_name cause issues?

If two different libraries share the same short name but have different long
names or build IDs, it looks like they will be incorrectly merged into a single
DSO database record. Should the cache key also include the long_name and
build_id?

Are we building the call path hierarchy upside down?

In perf database exports, call_path trees are conventionally structured from
root to leaf, where the main function (caller) is the root (parent_id = 0).

Since the Python binding for sample.callchain returns frames in the default
order (innermost frame first), iterating without reversing the chain assigns
parent_id = 0 to the callee and sets it as the parent of its caller. Will this
flip the callgraph upside down when visualized in tools like
exported-sql-viewer.py?

Will hardcoding these branch target columns to 0 prevent branch profiling?

The samples table schema includes branch target columns which are used
for tracing control flow. Shouldn't we extract these target addresses from
sample.brstack or other properties instead of dropping them?

Are we using the correct Python attribute names for the hardware counters?

As defined in tools/perf/util/python.c, the Python perf.sample_event
object exposes these properties with a sample_ prefix (e.g.,
sample_insn_count, sample_cyc_count, sample_data_src).

Because the requested attributes (insn_count, cyc_count, data_src) do
not exist without the prefix, won't getattr silently fall back to 0 and
break instructions per cycle calculation and memory profiling?

commit ae03fcd2a8865263d13dc316b361633ec2b22deb
Author: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>

perf data: Add open flag

This commit introduces an open flag to the perf_data structure to track
the open state of files and directories. It updates the open and close
routines to check and maintain this state, aiming to prevent double opens
and ensure only opened files are closed.

> diff --git a/tools/perf/util/data.c b/tools/perf/util/data.c

> +		data->open = false;
>  		ret = perf_data__open(data);

Does this sequence accidentally close standard output and corrupt subsequent
file descriptor allocations if the output is directed to a pipe?

If output is a stdout pipe (for example, using perf record -o -), the call
to perf_data_file__close() will close STDOUT_FILENO (FD 1). When this
reopens the data file, check_pipe() will assign data->file.fd back to
STDOUT_FILENO without performing a system open or dup. Since FD 1 was just
closed, the next unrelated file or socket opened by the process will likely
receive FD 1. Subsequent writes to data->file.fd might then silently corrupt
that unrelated file with the profiling data stream.

Additionally, is it possible for this fallback path to unintentionally
truncate the existing data file and cause data loss?

Earlier in this function, if rename() fails, a warning is printed and a
comment says to continue filling the original file. However, because the
rename failed, data->path still points to the original file:

        if (rename(data->path, *new_filepath))
                pr_warning("Failed to rename...");

        if (!at_exit) {
                perf_data_file__close(&data->file);
                data->open = false;
                ret = perf_data__open(data);

When perf_data__open() is called here, it eventually calls
open_file_write(), which strictly passes the O_TRUNC flag. Will this
truncate the original file to 0 bytes, destroying all previously
collected profiling data before the subsequent seek?

perf test: Migrate Intel PT virtual LBR test to use Python API

This commit migrates the Intel PT virtual LBR test from using an inline
ad-hoc python script to a dedicated Python script that utilizes the new

Will this hardcoded path cause the test to fail in out-of-tree builds or
installed environments?

In out-of-tree builds (like make O=/tmp/build), the compiled perf.so
extension resides in the build directory, not the source tree. Similarly,
when running perf test from an installed location, this relative path
won't point to the correct system installation path.

In both cases, import perf will fail and cause the test to crash.

Can this change cause the test to fail instead of gracefully skipping when
perf is compiled without Python support?

The setup_python.sh script only checks if a Python interpreter exists on
the host, not whether perf was actually compiled with the Python extension.
If perf is compiled with NO_LIBPYTHON=1 or without the required headers,
setup_python.sh will still succeed, but perf_brstack_max.py will crash on
import perf with a ModuleNotFoundError.

Since the Python crash output goes to stderr, the test reads an empty
stdout, assigns times_val=0, and fails instead of skipping.

Are the new switch cases reachable for events like PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 and
PERF_RECORD_AUX?

The if condition at the start of the function restricts event->header.type to
be <= PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE, or one of a few explicitly allowed types like
SWITCH or STAT.

Since MMAP2 and other newly added types fall outside this whitelist, it seems
they will be rejected early with a TypeError before reaching this switch
statement.

Does reading event->stat.id here bypass size bounds checking?

This reads the event structure before passing it to pyrf_event__new(),
which performs the size validation against min_size.

If a truncated event is smaller than sizeof(struct perf_record_stat), will
this read past the end of the event buffer?

Does this mismatch in argument counts cause problems for the Python callback?

In pyrf_session__init(), the identical user-provided callback (psession->stat)
is assigned for both PERF_RECORD_STAT and PERF_RECORD_STAT_ROUND events.

However, pyrf_session_tool__stat() calls it with two arguments ("Os"), while
this function calls it with just one ("O").

If the user's Python callback is defined to accept two arguments, will it
raise a TypeError when a STAT_ROUND event arrives?

> +	Py_XDECREF(ret);
> +	Py_DECREF(pyevent);
> +	return 0;

If the Python callback raises an exception, PyObject_CallFunction() returns
NULL.

Since this function doesn't clear the exception (via PyErr_Clear() or
PyErr_Print()) and returns 0, does this leak an unhandled Python exception?

Returning to the C-API caller with an active exception usually causes a
SystemError in the interpreter.

Is the output shown for the twatch script accurate?

Due to a pre-existing parser flaw in read_script_info(), the loop does not
break when encountering single-line docstrings. Because twatch.py contains
other triple-quoted strings later in the file, the parser overwrites the
allocated desc->half_liner without freeing it.

Does this cause a memory leak and result in the parser extracting a later
line ("To test the PERF_RECORD_SWITCH...") as the description instead of
the one shown in this commit message?

functions to convert between syscall numbers and names using the host
machine's syscall table, removing the dependency on python libaudit.

Does this declaration cause a build failure on older Python versions?

In Python versions up to 3.12, PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords() expects the
keywords argument to be char ** (or char *keywords[]). Passing char * const *
drops the const qualifier, which triggers an incompatible-pointer-types warning
in GCC. Since tools/perf builds with -Werror by default, this warning becomes
a fatal build error.

perf python: Add callchain support

This commit adds python bindings for callchain iteration in perf scripts.
It introduces pyrf_callchain_node and pyrf_callchain types and adds a
callchain property to sample events.

> Implement pyrf_callchain_node and pyrf_callchain types for lazy
> iteration over callchain frames. Add callchain property to
> sample_event.

Does this actually provide lazy iteration? 

The pyrf_event__new() implementation unconditionally performs the
machine__resolve() and thread__resolve_callchain() operations, allocating
all frames upfront whenever an event has callchain data.

This eager execution appears to make the lazy evaluation fallback logic in
pyrf_callchain__next() unreachable.

Will this property return an exhaustible iterator rather than a reusable
iterable?

When a script accesses the callchain property, it receives the exact same
pyrf_callchain iterator instance. As the script iterates over it,
pyrf_callchain__next() increments pchain->pos.

Once consumed, pchain->pos is not rewound, so any subsequent iteration
attempts on the same event will silently yield an empty sequence.

If machine__resolve() partially populates the addr_location structure but
ultimately fails and returns a negative value, is it possible to leak the
thread or map references?

Since addr_location__exit() is only called inside the success block at the
end of this function, the failure path skips the cleanup entirely.

Could this create an uncollectable strong reference cycle between the
pyrf_event and pyrf_callchain objects?

The newly created pchain takes a strong reference to pevent here, and later
pevent takes ownership of the callchain:

    pevent->callchain = (PyObject *)pchain;

Because neither of these C extension types implement Python cycle garbage
collector hooks, it looks like this cyclic reference will never be broken,
leaking both objects and their dynamically allocated structures on every
parsed sample.

Does this change break the event name extraction?

Previously, passing len + 1 as the size restricted snprintf to only copy
the characters up to the first whitespace. By changing the size limit to
sizeof(evname), it looks like snprintf will now copy the remainder of
the string, including any trailing spaces and subsequent script arguments.

If evname captures the rest of the line instead of just the isolated
event name, it appears the subsequent evsel__name_is(pos, evname) check
will always fail.

perf evlist: Add reference count

This commit introduces reference counting for struct evlist to aid in
lifecycle management, especially for the Python bindings. It replaces
evlist__delete() with evlist__put(), which decrements the reference
count and cleans up the object when the count drops to zero.

Can this lead to an invalid free during garbage collection?

When evlist__put() drops the reference count to zero, it calls
evlist__purge(), which iterates over the events and calls
evsel__delete(). evsel__delete() unconditionally calls free(evsel).

However, for events added via the Python API (evlist.add()), the evsel
pointer passed to the C evlist is an interior pointer embedded directly
within the Python pyrf_evsel object (set up via
evsel = &((struct pyrf_evsel *)pevsel)->evsel;). Calling free() on this
interior pointer would cause heap corruption.

I notice this issue is resolved in a subsequent commit "perf evsel: Add
reference count", which dynamically allocates evsel and implements proper
reference counting.

Does returning a clone of the evsel instead of the original object break
the semantics of evlist[i]?

Python scripts that rely on retrieving and modifying an event inside an
evlist (for example, evsel = evlist[0]; evsel.sample_freq = 100) will now
modify the ephemeral clone, leaving the original event untouched.

Additionally, if evsel__clone() fails internally, its error path calls
evsel__delete(dest) on the provided pointer. Since dest here points to
the interior evsel embedded in the Python object, this would trigger an
invalid free and corrupt the heap.

This semantic breakage and heap corruption issue is also fixed in the
subsequent commit "perf evsel: Add reference count", which removes this
cloning workaround.

perf evsel: Add reference count

This commit adds reference counting to evsel to prevent assertion failures
in the Python code when events are cloned. It initializes the reference count
to 1 at allocation and decrements it on deletion. Getset functions are added
for the evsel members so the Python API remains unchanged.

Does this pass uninitialized memory to perf_sample__exit()?

When pyrf_event__new() creates a new object, pevent->sample is left
uninitialized. If event parsing fails shortly after creation, the object
is deallocated:

>  static void pyrf_sample_event__delete(struct pyrf_event *pevent)
>  {
> +	evsel__put(pevent->evsel);
>  	perf_sample__exit(&pevent->sample);

>  }

Calling perf_sample__exit() on garbage memory will attempt to free invalid
pointers, such as zfree(&sample->user_regs).

I see this was fixed later in the patch series (perf python: Use evsel
in sample in pyrf_event) by adding perf_sample__init(&pevent->sample, false)
to the initialization, but I wanted to mention it here.

Could an uninitialized perf.evsel object cause a NULL pointer dereference
here?

The patch adds a tp_getattro handler to protect against uninitialized
objects (where pevsel->evsel is NULL). However, tp_getattro only intercepts
attribute reads.

Direct method calls like str(e) or repr(e) invoke tp_str, which passes the
NULL pointer directly to evsel__pmu_name(), leading to a segmentation fault.
Similarly, property setters (like e.tracking = True) use the C setters
directly, bypassing tp_getattro and dereferencing the NULL pointer.

Can this lead to an arbitrary memory write if a Python user passes the wrong
object type?

PyArg_ParseTuple(args, "O", &pevsel) accepts any Python object without
checking if it is actually a pyrf_evsel. It is then blindly cast to
struct pyrf_evsel *, and its evsel pointer is dereferenced to write the
index.

While this type confusion existed before this patch, changing it from an
address-of operator to a direct pointer dereference turns it into an
arbitrary memory write. Should this use "O!" with &pyrf_evsel__type to
enforce type safety?

Does this leak reference counts for non-sample events?

Here, evsel__get() is called for all parsed events. However, only
pyrf_sample_event__type overrides the destructor to call evsel__put():

Other event types (like mmap or comm) fall back to the default deallocator,
meaning their evsel reference counts are never decremented.

I note this is addressed in subsequent commits by unifying the event
destructors, but wanted to bring it up.

Does this cause a use-after-free? evlist__id2evsel() returns a borrowed
pointer to the evsel without incrementing its reference count. Calling
evsel__put() here drops the reference count incorrectly.

I see this was fixed later in the patch series (in perf python: Use evsel
in sample in pyrf_event) by adding the missing evsel__get(), but I am
pointing it out for completeness.

Are these keyword arguments and None defaults actually supported by the
underlying C extensions?

The C extensions, such as pyrf__parse_metrics, appear to use PyArg_ParseTuple
without PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords. This means keyword arguments are
unsupported and would cause a TypeError. Furthermore, passing None as a
positional argument to satisfy the default value might also cause a TypeError
because the C parser expects strict types like a string or an int.

Is it safe to use this find_thread(tid) method as documented?

The C extension pyrf_session__find_thread parses this single argument into a
pid variable and calls machine__find_thread(machine, pid, pid).

By passing the TID as both the Thread Group ID (PID) and the TID, it triggers
machine__update_thread_pid(machine, th, pid), which forcibly overwrites the
thread's actual PID with its TID if the PID was previously unresolved.

Will this cause the internal thread representation to become disassociated
from its process leader, leading to logic errors in scripts?

Does the C extension pyrf_data__init support keyword arguments?

It seems to only accept positional path and fd arguments, and does not support
kwargs. Also, is the perf.DATA_MODE_READ constant actually exported by the perf
module? If not, scripts relying on this documentation could fail with an
AttributeError or TypeError.

Does this code handle filtering for PID 0 correctly?

If a user explicitly filters for PID 0, high will be assigned 0. The
condition then evaluates high == 0, which will return True for all valid
PIDs >= low (0), effectively disabling the filter instead of restricting it
to PID 0.

Does this aggregation cause data corruption for multi-threaded processes?

In the perf_sample Python bindings, sample.sample_pid provides the process ID
(TGID), while sample.sample_tid provides the thread ID (TID). The original
script used common_pid, which corresponds to the TID.

If multiple threads in the same process run compaction concurrently, they will
share the same TGID, which could cause them to clobber each other's pending
state when mark_pending() overwrites self.pending.

The C-extension function pyrf_session__find_thread() explicitly returns NULL
and raises a Python TypeError if the thread is missing from the machine's
thread map. Without a try...except TypeError block around this call,
encountering an unknown thread will abort trace processing entirely.

perf python: Use evsel in sample in pyrf_event

This commit avoids a duplicated evsel by using the one in the sample. It
also adds evsel__get and evsel__put to manage the evsel reference in
perf_sample.

Does this leak the evsel reference when parsing deferred callchains?

In tools/perf/util/session.c, both evlist__deliver_deferred_callchain()
and session__flush_deferred_samples() call evlist__parse_sample() which
populates sample and acquires the reference. Then they overwrite the
pointer without dropping the original reference:

    sample.evsel = evlist__id2evsel(evlist, sample.id);

Could reusing a struct perf_sample inside an event loop silently leak
evsel references now?

In tools/perf/tests/perf-record.c (test__PERF_RECORD), the sample
variable is declared outside the event processing loop and passed to
evlist__parse_sample() repeatedly. Since evsel__parse_sample() internally
calls perf_sample__init(data, true) which zeroes the struct, it seems the
evsel pointer from the previous iteration is silently overwritten.

Can this leak evsel references for non-sample events in the Python
bindings?

pyrf_evlist__read_on_cpu() unconditionally parses all events using
evsel__parse_sample(), acquiring the reference. However,
pyrf_sample_event__delete() (which calls perf_sample__exit()) is only
assigned to pyrf_sample_event__type. Other event types like
pyrf_mmap_event__type rely on Python's default object deallocator, which
does not call perf_sample__exit().

It appears this was fixed later in commit 5565efd86942 (perf python:
Refactor and add accessors to sample event).

Does changing the installation directory to python without also updating
tools/perf/builtin-script.c cause a temporary regression in this commit?

The list_available_scripts() function in tools/perf/builtin-script.c
still calls opendir() on the legacy scripts directory and explicitly calls
exit(-1) if it does not exist, which causes perf script -l to abort.

Similarly, find_script() still searches the nonexistent scripts directory,
preventing execution of the Python scripts.

I noticed this is fixed later in the series in commit
28566cda6894feea81082103f438305b884d5d12 ("perf script: Refactor to support
standalone scripts and remove legacy features").

Should each commit build and function independently without introducing
temporary regressions?

Does this silently ignore the passed fd and leak it?

Looking at perf_data__open(), it delegates to check_pipe(). If path is
not explicitly provided, it defaults to "perf.data" instead of being NULL
or "-". check_pipe() requires path to be "-" to handle pipes:

tools/perf/util/data.c:check_pipe() {
    ...
	if (!data->path) {
		if (!fstat(fd, &st) && S_ISFIFO(st.st_mode))
			is_pipe = true;
	} else {
		if (!strcmp(data->path, "-"))
			is_pipe = true;
	}
    ...
}

Since path defaults to "perf.data", check_pipe() returns false.

perf_data__open() will then call open_file(), which does a regular
filesystem open() of "perf.data", and overwrites data->file.fd:

tools/perf/util/data.c:open_file() {
    ...
	fd = perf_data__is_read(data) ?
	     open_file_read(data) : open_file_write(data);
    ...
	data->file.fd = fd;
    ...
}

Should the wrapper set path to "-" or NULL if a custom pipe fd is
provided so perf_data__open() correctly uses it?

Is there a memory leak here if we find a better description later?

If desc->half_liner is assigned from the SPDX-License-Identifier line,
and the loop continues, finding the actual description: tag will overwrite
desc->half_liner with a new strdup() without freeing the initial allocation.

Also, since the args: parsing was removed here, should the corresponding
printing logic in list_available_scripts() be removed as well?

This isn't a bug, but this logic still checks and prints desc->args. Since
the parsing for it was removed above, desc->args will always be NULL.

If waitpid() is interrupted by a signal and returns -1 (with errno == EINTR),
or fails for another reason, the condition waitpid(pid, &status, 0) == pid
evaluates to false.

Since there is no else clause or return statement on the failure path,
execution will fall through the if (script_name) block and proceed to the rest
of cmd_script(). This could unintentionally initialize a perf session and dump
perf.data to stdout instead of terminating.

Should waitpid() be wrapped in a retry loop for EINTR, and return an error if
it ultimately fails?

Does this code need to fully drain the ring buffer on each wakeup? 

Currently, it reads only a single event per CPU and then goes back to 
poll(). Under moderate to high event rates, processing them one by one 
per poll iteration might cause the utility to fall behind and drop events. 

Could this loop until read_on_cpu() returns None before moving to the 
next CPU or polling again?

Since this except block catches all exceptions, could it accidentally swallow
exceptions raised by the user-provided sample_callback?

If the user's callback contains a logic error or raises a ValueError, catching
and ignoring it silently here might make it very difficult for them to debug
their scripts.

Is there a risk that checking for "vmlinux" as a relative path could load an
untrusted binary?

If this script is executed from a world-writable directory like /tmp, it
might find and use an attacker-controlled vmlinux file placed there.

Because this binary is subsequently passed to objdump via
subprocess.check_output(), parsing a maliciously crafted binary could
trigger vulnerabilities and lead to arbitrary code execution.

Could this startswith check unconditionally fail?

The __str__ method for perf.evsel objects returns a formatted string like
"evsel(instructions)", not the raw event name "instructions".

Because of this formatting, the filters ev_name.startswith("instructions")
and ev_name.startswith("branches") will evaluate to false for all events,
causing them to be silently dropped without processing.

Is there a race condition here if two threads concurrently call evlist__put()
and drop the final two external references?

If they both execute refcount_dec_and_test() and it evaluates to false, both
threads could read the updated refcount that matches the back-references, and
both would jump to out_delete, causing a double free.

Will this leak the evsel reference?

We acquire a strong reference to the evsel here using evsel__get(), but it
doesn't appear that perf_sample__exit() or other paths in the lifecycle of
the sample object are updated to release it via evsel__put().

    perf python: Add python session abstraction wrapping perf's session
    
    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.

If pyrf_event__new() returns NULL and sets a Python exception, returning
-ENOMEM here propagates the error back to pyrf_session__find_thread_events(),
which then returns PyLong_FromLong(err).

Does returning a valid PyObject while the Python exception indicator is still
set cause the interpreter to raise an uncatchable SystemError?

Since evsel__parse_sample() dynamically allocates memory for user_regs and
intr_regs using zalloc(), does explicitly setting these pointers to NULL
orphan the allocations?

When the Python event object is destroyed, it looks like perf_sample__exit()
will skip freeing the NULL pointers, causing a memory leak for every
processed sample containing register data.

I see this regression is fixed later in the patch series in commit
5565efd8694262de670594ae38d7f95f563e85d1 ("perf python: Refactor and
add accessors to sample event").

If the user's Python callback fails, PyErr_Print() prints the traceback
and clears the exception indicator. 

Since this returns -1, does the Python caller receive an error without any
exception being raised, silently swallowing the callback failure?

Because perf.session is created using PyType_GenericNew(), its C structure
is initially zeroed out. 

If a user instantiates the object directly without calling __init__, or if
__init__ fails and leaves psession->session set to NULL, does dereferencing
it here cause a NULL pointer dereference?

In Python, __init__ can be called multiple times on an already instantiated
object. If this happens, do psession->pdata, psession->sample, and
psession->session get overwritten without calling Py_XDECREF() or
perf_session__delete() on the old resources?

Could this permanently leak the old C session structure and its Python
references?

If Py_XDECREF(psession->pdata) drops the last reference to the perf.data
object, the memory holding the embedded struct perf_data inside
struct pyrf_data is freed.

Immediately after, perf_session__delete() accesses session->data
(which points to the now-freed pdata->data) to call perf_data__close().

Could this destruction order result in a use-after-free? Should the C
session be destroyed before releasing the Python data object?

Similar to pyrf_session__find_thread(), if psession->session is NULL,
will perf_session__process_events() crash?

perf inject: Fix itrace branch stack synthesis

When using "perf inject --itrace=L" to synthesize branch stacks from aux data,
failures occurred due to incorrect sample_type and unhandled hardware indices.
This commit fixes sample_type flags during synthesis and explicitly passes
branch_sample_type to properly write the nr and hw_idx fields.

Since event_copy is allocated with malloc(), is it possible that
event_copy->header.misc is left uninitialized?

event_copy->header.type and event_copy->header.size are populated below, but
header.misc seems to be skipped. Could this result in garbage data being
passed for CPU mode and other flags, corrupting downstream symbol resolution?

If perf inject is run with --itrace=L, last_branch is true but
add_last_branch is false, so PERF_SAMPLE_AUX is not stripped here.

Since __cmd_inject() unconditionally strips PERF_SAMPLE_AUX from the output
session header, could this lead to samples being synthesized and written with
their aux data intact, causing a mismatch between the declared header
attributes and the actual sample payload?

This block updates the attributes to reflect the new sample payload, but
it is inside an if (!inject->output.is_pipe && !inject->in_place_update)
check.

When pipe mode is used, attributes are emitted inline at the start of the
stream. If the payload is modified in perf_event__repipe_sample() without
the corresponding attribute updates in pipe mode, will downstream pipe
consumers receive initial attributes that do not match the modified payloads?

Passing 0 for branch_sample_type here hardcodes the synthesis to omit the
hw_idx field.

Since intel_pt_inject_event() is used for synthesizing pebs samples which
inherit the original evsel configuration, what happens if the original pebs
evsel had PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_HW_INDEX enabled? Will this cause the payload
to omit hw_idx while the attributes still expect it, misaligning all
subsequent payload reads?

If cptr2 becomes NULL after being valid in a previous iteration, will cs2
and dptr2 retain their stale values?

Since cd_info2 is initialized to NULL at the start of the loop but cs2 and
dptr2 are declared outside the loop, the check for mismatched CPUs:

if (cs2 && cs1->cpu != cs2->cpu)

might evaluate to true and incorrectly abort with "Failed because matching
cpus not found for diff".

If it happens to bypass the abort, could this cause a NULL pointer
dereference when accessing cd_info2->domains later in the loop, given that
cd_info2 is NULL but the stale dptr2 is not?

Are there bounds checks for ds1->domain before using it as an index into
the cd_info1->domains array?

Since ds1->domain comes from the untrusted perf data file, a large value
could read past the end of the dynamically allocated domains array. Would it
make sense to add bounds checks for ds1->domain and ds2->domain against
cd_info1->nr_domains and cd_info2->nr_domains, similar to the protections
added for cs1->cpu and cs2->cpu?

Are we missing a .tp_dealloc assignment for pyrf_comm_event__type and
pyrf_read_event__type?

Since pyrf_event__new() now calls evsel__parse_sample() for all events,
which acquires an evsel reference, does this cause an evsel memory leak when
Python garbage collects these events because perf_sample__exit() is not
called?

Can pevent->sample.evsel be NULL here if the event is manually instantiated
from Python?

If so, does is_tracepoint() dereference a NULL evsel pointer?

Does this code need to handle PERF_RECORD_MMAP2?

The perf tools guidelines state that tools handling MMAP must also handle
MMAP2, but it appears MMAP2 events would be rejected here and raise a
TypeError since they fall outside the accepted range.

Does sizeof(struct perf_record_mmap) statically include the full char
filename[PATH_MAX] array?

Since the kernel dynamically sizes mmap events to only include the actual
string length plus padding, will this check evaluate to true and
unconditionally reject valid mmap events?

Could this exact sized allocation lead to out of bounds reads?

If a malformed event has a header size that exactly covers the text of a
string but omits the null terminator, Python's T_STRING_INPLACE handler
might use strlen() and read past the end of the allocated object into
adjacent heap memory.
