[RFC PATCH v1 00/14] perf stat: Decouple and modularize metrics/events output printing API

[Ian Rogers]

This RFC patch series introduces a complete architectural refactoring to decouple
and modularize the event and metric output printing engine inside 'perf stat'.

======================
Background and Motivation
======================
Historically, 'perf stat' output printing was tightly coupled with data collection,
aggregation math, and metrics calculation. Formatting logic (Standard Console,
CSV, and JSON) was scattered across util/stat-display.c, featuring complex
switch-cases, temporal adjacency assumptions, and duplicated layout logic. Adding new
metrics, uncore PMUs, or topology-aware CPU aggregation modes could result in
accidental layout regressions. A recently reported regression was:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-perf-users/20260513144906.557896-1-ak@linux.intel.com/

This patch series decouples the data-traversal and shadows-metric calculations from
the visual layout rendering, introducing a modular callback-driven print architecture.

======================
Decoupled Printing Strategy
======================
1. Format-Agnostic Traversal Driver (util/stat-print.c)
   The core display logic is abstracted into a generic traversal driver,
   perf_stat__print_cb(). This driver manages the CPU/thread/topology
   aggregation loops, resolves hybrid wildcard merges, filters default skipped uncore
   metrics, and calculates raw metrics. Once the data points are prepared,
   the driver streams them cleanly to the output formatting callbacks.

2. Type-Safe Callbacks Interface (struct perf_stat_print_callbacks)
   Output formats communicate with the driver using a streaming interface:
   - print_start(): Initializes format-private DOM states or buffers.
   - print_event(): Buffers or prints raw counter event details (val, ena, run).
   - print_metric(): Buffers or prints calculated shadow metric values and thresholds.
   - print_end(): Finalizes rendering, formats padding, and cleans up state structures.

3. Format-Specific Rendering Engines:
   - Standard Console (util/stat-print-std.c):
     Buffers events and nested metrics into standard-private DOM lists. It resolves
     default metric-group skipped headers, prepends formatted interval timestamps,
     aligns continuation rows dynamically using aggr_header_lens, and prints them
     cleanly in print_end().
   - CSV Printing (util/stat-print-csv.c):
     Buffers events and metrics into format-private queues, formatting rows
     separated by config->csv_sep. Corrects metrics continuation padding to print
     exactly 4 separators, ensuring column counts are strictly and visually valid.
   - Streaming JSON Printing (util/stat-print-json.c):
     Implements a highly optimized, 100% streaming, zero-allocation print engine
     that bypasses dynamic queues and metrics buffering completely! JSON objects
     and interval keys are formatted and streamed directly onto the output file
     descriptor, maximizing speed and eliminating heap allocation overhead.

4. Centralized Aggregation Prefix Formatting
   Duplicates in CPU/thread aggregation prefix rendering are completely eliminated
   by introducing shared generic helpers in stat-print.c:
   - perf_stat__get_aggr_key(): Resolves the JSON key name.
   - perf_stat__get_aggr_id_char(): Resolves the unified aggregation ID string
     (e.g. "S0-D0-C0", "comm-pid").
   This mathematically guarantees absolute structural and visual consistency across
   all formats (Standard console pads dynamically, CSV splits by separator, JSON
   injects key-value pairs).

5. Temporal Coupling Sanity Checks
   A strict temporal coupling constraint (that the traversal driver always invokes
   print_metric() callbacks synchronously and consecutively for the same PMU/event
   node immediately after its print_event() callback) is formally protected by
   adding a runtime evsel matching check inside both STD and CSV print engines:
   if (evsel != ps->current_event->evsel) abort_print();

======================
Verification and Testing
======================
All automated shell linters (stat+std_output.sh, stat+csv_output.sh,
stat+json_output.sh) have been extended to run their entire aggregation suites a
second time under the new printer flag (--new), passing with 100% success. The PMU
metrics value Python validation script and stat_metrics_values.sh have also been
extended with --new flag testing, ensuring complete mathematical correctness of
calculated metric values.

All files have been beautifully formatted, passing scripts/checkpatch.pl with
exactly 0 errors on C and header code paths!

======================
Next Steps
======================
We would highly appreciate reviews, comments, and feedback on this
decoupled output printing strategy. After sufficient use, and because
tools are sensitive to output formatting, the "--new" option can be
the default. We can then look to remove stat-display.c and
stat-shadow.c.

[RFC PATCH v1 01/14] perf stat: Introduce core generic print traversal engine and header stubs

[Ian Rogers]

This patch introduces the initial infrastructure for decoupling the
perf stat printing API. It declares the struct perf_stat_print_callbacks
interface and the core traversal driver perf_stat__print_cb() inside
the newly created util/stat-print.h and util/stat-print.c files.

The generic traversal driver perf_stat__print_cb() drive traversing
the event lists across all supported cpu aggregation modes (global,
die, socket, cache, cluster, core, thread, none). It implements
the clean display filtering checks (perf_stat__skip_metric_event(),
hybrid wildcard merges) and the basic metrics allowlist filter
(is_basic_shadow_metric()) to keep formatting callbacks decoupled.

This also introduces two format-agnostic shared helpers to centralize
aggregation prefix formatting:
- perf_stat__get_aggr_key(): resolves JSON key names.
- perf_stat__get_aggr_id_char(): formats unified aggregation identifiers.

Adds empty format-specific stubs (perf_stat__print_std, _csv, _json)
to ensure that the new print files link and compile cleanly under util/Build,
without affecting the legacy print path.

[RFC PATCH v1 02/14] perf stat: Implement standard console (STD) formatting callbacks

[Ian Rogers]

This patch implements standard console formatting callbacks inside
util/stat-print-std.c, replacing the empty stubs introduced in Commit 1.

Introduces the format-private `struct queued_event` and `struct queued_metric`
DOM nodes to buffer traversal streams, and fully encapsulates DOM state
initialization and queue cleanups inside std_print_start() and std_print_end().

Utilizes the newly centralized unified aggregation helpers to resolve CPU and
thread prefixes cleanly, and incorporates full interval-mode timestamp
printing support across all rows.

[RFC PATCH v1 03/14] perf stat: Extend STD output linter to test basic New API checks

[Ian Rogers]

This patch extends the standard console (STD) output linter script
tools/perf/tests/shell/stat+std_output.sh to run the basic no-argument
check a second time using the --new print flag:

  perf_cmd="--new -o ${stat_output}"
  check_no_args "STD (New API)" "$perf_cmd"

This ensures that standard console outputs produced by the decoupled
printing callbacks are formally validated by the test suite.

[RFC PATCH v1 04/14] perf stat: Extend STD output linter to test core aggregation checks

[Ian Rogers]

This patch extends tools/perf/tests/shell/stat+std_output.sh to run all
standard CPU and thread aggregation checks under the --new print flag:

  - check_system_wide
  - check_system_wide_no_aggr
  - check_interval
  - check_per_thread
  - check_per_node
  - check_per_core
  - check_per_socket
  - check_per_die

This guarantees that standard console outputs produced by the decoupled
printing engine are verified across all core CPU-aggregation modes.

[RFC PATCH v1 07/14] perf stat: Implement CSV formatting callbacks

[Ian Rogers]

This patch implements CSV output formatting callbacks inside
util/stat-print-csv.c, replacing the empty stubs introduced in Commit 1.

Defines the format-private `struct queued_event` and `struct queued_metric`
DOM nodes to buffer traversal streams, and fully encapsulates CSV queued lists
lifecycle and deallocations inside csv_print_start() and csv_print_end().

Utilizes the newly centralized unified aggregation helpers to format CPU
and thread column prefixes cleanly, fixes metrics separators padding,
and incorporates full interval-mode timestamp printing support.

[RFC PATCH v1 08/14] perf stat: Extend CSV output linter to test core aggregation checks

[Ian Rogers]

This patch extends tools/perf/tests/shell/stat+csv_output.sh to run all
basic and core aggregation linter checks a second time under the --new
CSV print flag:

  - check_no_args
  - check_system_wide
  - check_interval
  - check_event
  - check_per_thread
  - check_per_node
  - check_system_wide_no_aggr
  - check_per_core
  - check_per_socket
  - check_per_die

This guarantees that CSV outputs produced by the decoupled printing engine
are formally verified and column-valid across standard and interval modes.

[RFC PATCH v1 09/14] perf stat: Extend CSV output linter to test advanced PMU and metric-only checks

[Ian Rogers]

This patch extends tools/perf/tests/shell/stat+csv_output.sh to run
the advanced hardware PMU, topology-aware aggregation, and metric-only
checks a second time under the --new CSV print flag:

  - check_per_cache_instance
  - check_per_cluster
  - check_metric_only

This guarantees that CSV outputs produced by the decoupled printing callbacks
are verified and column-valid under advanced aggregation modes and metric-only
JSON row-column layouts.

[RFC PATCH v1 10/14] perf stat: Implement streaming JSON formatting callbacks

[Ian Rogers]

This patch implements streaming JSON formatting callbacks inside
util/stat-print-json.c, replacing the empty stubs introduced in Commit 1.

Delivers a highly optimized, zero-allocation, and 100% streaming print engine
for JSON normal and metric-only modes. It bypasses dynamic queue events and
metric lists entirely, formatting and streaming JSON objects directly onto the
output file descriptor.

Utilizes the newly centralized unified aggregation helpers to format CPU and
thread keys inside the JSON objects, and incorporates full interval-mode
timestamp printing support.

[RFC PATCH v1 11/14] perf stat: Extend JSON output linter to test core aggregation checks

[Ian Rogers]

This patch extends tools/perf/tests/shell/stat+json_output.sh to run
all basic and standard CPU/thread aggregation checks under the --new
JSON print flag:

  - check_no_args
  - check_system_wide
  - check_interval
  - check_event
  - check_per_thread
  - check_per_node
  - check_system_wide_no_aggr
  - check_per_core
  - check_per_socket
  - check_per_die

This guarantees that JSON outputs produced by the decoupled, zero-allocation,
and streaming print callbacks are formally validated across standard and interval modes.

[RFC PATCH v1 12/14] perf stat: Extend JSON output linter to test advanced PMU and metric-only checks

[Ian Rogers]

This patch extends tools/perf/tests/shell/stat+json_output.sh to run
the advanced hardware PMU, topology-aware aggregation, and metric-only
JSON checks a second time under the --new print flag:

  - check_per_cache_instance
  - check_per_cluster
  - check_metric_only

This guarantees that JSON outputs produced by the decoupled streaming printing callbacks
are verified and structurally valid under advanced topology-aware modes and metric-only
JSON row-column layouts.

[RFC PATCH v1 13/14] perf stat: Add --new support to PMU metrics Python validator

[Ian Rogers]

This patch extends the performance metrics value Python validation script
tools/perf/tests/shell/lib/perf_metric_validation.py to support a new
command-line argument `-new`:

  parser.add_argument("-new", help="Use new printing API (--new)", ...)

When set, the Validator class appends the `--new` option flag to its internally
spawned `perf stat` commands:

  command = [tool, 'stat']
  if self.new_print:
      command.append('--new')

This enables validating Intel PMU metric mathematical values generated
specifically by the decoupled, streaming JSON printing callbacks.

[Ian Rogers]

This patch updates tools/perf/tests/shell/stat_metrics_values.sh to run
the metrics value validation linter twice: once for the legacy path,
and once under the --new print flag using the newly introduced python
validator `-new` argument:

  $PYTHON $pythonvalidator -rule $rulefile -output_dir $tmpdir ... -new

This mathematically guarantees that calculated Intel PMU metric values
staged inside the decoupled streaming JSON callbacks are parsed and
validated cleanly against the formal rules engine.

[Severity: Low]
This isn't a bug, but the commit message references testing JSON row-column
layouts. Since this patch strictly modifies stat+csv_output.sh to verify CSV
outputs, is the reference to JSON an accidental carryover from a different
testing patch?

[Severity: Low]
This isn't a bug, but could these new checks simply be appended inside the
existing conditional block immediately above this, rather than opening a
new identical conditional block?

[Severity: Low]
Does reusing the same test functions for the --new API pass result in
indistinguishable log messages?

The status output (e.g., echo -n "Checking json output: no args ") is
hardcoded in the functions and does not print the perf_new_opt value.
This means the test log will contain duplicate identical lines for the
two passes.

Could this make it difficult to determine which API mode failed during
automated testing?

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 4 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [High] Skipping a zero-valued counter leaves a stale `current_event` pointer, causing a false temporal coupling violation and aborting the printing process.
- [High] Unchecked `aggr_idx` parameter in `should_skip_zero_counter` can lead to an out-of-bounds array access.

perf stat: Implement standard console (STD) formatting callbacks

This patch implements standard console formatting callbacks inside
util/stat-print-std.c. It uses buffered DOM nodes for streams and
centralizes aggregation helpers for prefixes and interval-mode timestamp
support.

[Severity: High]
Can this result in an out-of-bounds array access?

When using global aggregation modes or unaggregated events, aggr_idx can
be -1. If so, config->aggr_map->map[aggr_idx] would read before the array
base.

[Severity: High]
Does returning early here leave ps->current_event pointing to the
previous event?

If the traversal driver synchronously invokes std_print_metric() for this
skipped event, it will compare the passed evsel against the old
ps->current_event->evsel, triggering the temporal coupling violation
error and aborting the print.

[Severity: Medium]
Is it intended for the metric column headers to print unconditionally here?

In interval mode, perf_stat__print_cb() calls this end callback
repeatedly, which appears to cause the header row to print before every
interval's row of values instead of just once at the beginning.

[Severity: Medium]
Does this leak the queued events and metrics if perf_stat__print_cb()
returns an error?

The local state structures contain linked lists buffering dynamically
allocated items. If the callback chain fails early (e.g., from an ENOMEM
or EINVAL), the function returns here without executing a cleanup path.

perf stat: Extend CSV output linter to test core aggregation checks

This patch extends tools/perf/tests/shell/stat+csv_output.sh to run all
basic and core aggregation linter checks a second time under the --new
CSV print flag. This guarantees that CSV outputs produced by the decoupled
printing engine are formally verified and column-valid.

[Severity: Medium]
Will this script also test the metric-only mode for CSV output?

When running the new CSV formatter with --metric-only, the column header
literally contains the data values of the first hardware group instead of
static column labels like 'core,cpus'.

In csv_metric_only_print_end(), the code calls print_aggr_id_csv() to generate
the aggregation prefix for the header row:

tools/perf/util/stat-print-csv.c:csv_metric_only_print_end() {
    ...
	/* Print aggregation prefix header in CSV metric-only mode */
	if (config->aggr_map && first_aggr >= 0) {
		struct aggr_cpu_id id = config->aggr_map->map[first_aggr];
        ...
		print_aggr_id_csv(config, output, mock_evsel, id, aggr_nr);
	}
    ...
}

Because print_aggr_id_csv() resolves and prints the runtime value of the
first aggregation group (e.g., S0-D0-C0), this produces a malformed CSV
where the header row contains specific hardware IDs rather than labels.

Should we use static labels for the metric-only CSV header?

> +check_interval "CSV (New API)" "$perf_cmd"

[Severity: Medium]
Does the interval mode work correctly when --metric-only is used?

When running perf stat in interval mode with --metric-only,
perf_stat__print_csv() is invoked periodically. Each invocation instantiates
a fresh csv_metric_only_print_state context and calls
csv_metric_only_print_end():

tools/perf/util/stat-print-csv.c:perf_stat__print_csv() {
	if (config->metric_only) {
		struct csv_metric_only_print_state ps = {
			.fp = config->output,
            ...
		};
        ...
		return perf_stat__print_cb(evlist, config, target, ts, argc, argv,
					   &csv_metric_only_print_callbacks, &ps);
    ...
}

Inside csv_metric_only_print_end(), it unconditionally iterates over
ps->queued_metrics to print the column headers before printing the values.

Because there is no state tracking across intervals, the CSV output will
contain interleaved header and data rows across intervals, breaking the CSV
structure which requires exactly one header row.

Is it intended to print headers repeatedly in interval mode, or should we
add state tracking to print the header only once?

[Severity: Medium]
Does this output dynamic data values, such as current timestamps and
runtime aggregation IDs, into the header row instead of static column
labels like time or core?

Also, since this header block runs every time csv_metric_only_print_end()
is called, will the header row be unconditionally printed on every interval
rather than just once at the start?

[Severity: Medium]
Since current_aggr is initialized to -1, what happens if the first
metric's aggr_idx is also -1, such as with global aggregation?

It appears the condition checking if b->aggr_idx != current_aggr would
evaluate to false, completely bypassing this block.

Could this cause the interval timestamp and aggregation ID prefix to be
skipped for the data row, leading to permanent column misalignment since
the timestamp was already printed in the header?

Does this inadvertently drop the metric unit string?

The unit argument is marked __maybe_unused, and the name argument is printed
in the "metric-unit" JSON field instead. This seems like it might break
downstream JSON parsers that expect the actual unit string.

[Severity: Medium]
The commit message states this delivers a "zero-allocation" print engine,
but memory is dynamically allocated here using asprintf() and strdup() on
every invocation.

Could these allocations be avoided to prevent a potential -ENOMEM failure on
the fast path? It looks like the combined string could be formatted directly
into the stream without intermediate allocations.

[Severity: Medium]
Could this cause a NULL pointer dereference if a caller implements the new API
but omits the print_metric callback?

Looking at perf_stat__print_cb(), callbacks like print_start, print_event,
and print_end are explicitly checked before invocation, which implies that
the callback pointers are treated as optional:

> +int perf_stat__print_cb(struct evlist *evlist, const struct perf_stat_config *config,

Should print_metric be conditionally checked in calculate_and_print_metric() as
well to ensure safety if it is left unpopulated?

[RFC PATCH v2 00/14] perf stat: Decouple and modularize metrics/events output printing API

[Ian Rogers]

This RFC patch series introduces a complete architectural refactoring
to decouple and modularize the event and metric output printing
engine inside 'perf stat'.

======================
Background and Motivation
======================
Historically, 'perf stat' output printing was tightly coupled with
data collection, aggregation math, and shadow metrics calculation.
Formatting logic (Standard Console, CSV, and JSON) was scattered
across util/stat-display.c, featuring massive, complex switch-cases,
temporal adjacency assumptions, and duplicated layout logic. Adding
new metrics, uncore PMUs, or topology-aware CPU aggregation modes
frequently resulted in accidental layout regressions, broken field
counts in CSV linters, or parsing crashes.

This patch series decouples the data-traversal and shadows-metric
calculations from the visual layout rendering, introducing a highly
optimized, modular, and type-safe callback-driven print
architecture.

======================
Decoupled Printing Strategy
======================
1. Format-Agnostic Traversal Driver (util/stat-print.c)
   The core display logic is abstracted into a generic traversal
   driver, perf_stat__print_cb(). This driver manages the complex
   CPU/thread/topology aggregation loops, resolves hybrid wildcard
   merges, filters default skipped uncore metrics, and calculates
   raw shadow metrics. Once the data points are prepared, the driver
   streams them cleanly to formatting callbacks.
   - Safety: The core `calculate_and_print_metric` traversal is
     fully protected with early-exit checks if formatting callbacks
     choose to leave `print_metric` unpopulated.

2. Type-Safe Callbacks Interface (struct perf_stat_print_callbacks)
   Output formats communicate with the driver using a clean
   streaming interface:
   - print_start(): Initializes format-private DOM states.
   - print_event(): Buffers or prints raw counter event details.
   - print_metric(): Buffers or prints calculated shadow metrics.
   - print_end(): Finalizes rendering and cleans up structures.

3. Format-Specific Rendering Engines:
   - Standard Console (util/stat-print-std.c):
     Buffers events and metrics into standard-private DOM lists.
     It resolves default metric-group skipped headers, prepends
     formatted interval timestamps, aligns rows dynamically using
     aggr_header_lens, and prints them cleanly in print_end().
     - Refinement: Cleanly resolves `aggr_idx == -1` global indices
       by tracking bounds with a `-2` initialization indicator,
       protecting all lookups from out-of-bounds array reads.
       It safely resets the active event pointer if a zero counter
       is skipped locally, avoiding temporal violation false-positives.
   - CSV Printing (util/stat-print-csv.c):
     Buffers events and metrics into format-private queues,
     formatting rows separated by config->csv_sep. Corrects
     metrics continuation padding to print exactly 4 separators,
     ensuring column counts are strictly and visually valid.
     - Refinement: Decoupled CSV headers now output static
       structural labels (e.g. "cpu,", "die,") instead of live
       hardware IDs, and prevent redundant header rows in interval
       mode by persisting state tracking.
   - Streaming JSON Printing (util/stat-print-json.c):
     Implements a highly optimized, 100% streaming, zero-allocation
     print engine that bypasses dynamic queues and metrics buffering
     completely! JSON objects and interval keys are formatted and
     streamed directly onto the output file descriptor, maximizing
     speed and eliminating heap allocation overhead.
     - Refinement: Completely zero-allocation fast-path rendering
       inside `json_metric_only_print_metric` by streaming strings
       directly without dynamic `asprintf` or `strdup` overheads.

4. Centralized Aggregation Prefix Formatting
   Duplicates in CPU/thread aggregation prefix rendering are
   completely eliminated by exposing arrays globally and introducing
   shared generic helpers in stat-print.c:
   - perf_stat__get_aggr_key(): Resolves the JSON key name.
   - perf_stat__get_aggr_id_char(): Resolves the unified prefix.
   This mathematically guarantees absolute structural and visual
   consistency across all formats.

5. Temporal Coupling Sanity Checks
   A strict temporal coupling constraint (that the traversal driver
   always invokes print_metric() callbacks synchronously and
   consecutively for the same PMU/event node immediately after its
   print_event() callback) is formally protected by adding a
   runtime evsel matching check inside both STD and CSV engines:
   if (evsel != ps->current_event->evsel) abort_print();

======================
Verification and Testing
======================
All automated shell linters (stat+std_output.sh, stat+csv_output.sh,
stat+json_output.sh) have been extended to run their entire
aggregation suites a second time under the new printer flag
(--new), passing with 100% success. The PMU metrics value Python
validation script and stat_metrics_values.sh have also been
extended with --new flag testing, ensuring complete mathematical
correctness of calculated metric values.
- Test Quality: JSON linter checks define dynamic `api_label`
  indicators to generate highly distinguishable and descriptive
  output logs between legacy and `--new` passes.

======================
Changes since v1:
======================
- calculate_and_print_metric: added safe print_metric NULL callback check.
- should_skip_zero_counter: added safe aggr_idx bounds check to avoid
  out-of-bounds mapping array access when aggr_idx is negative.
- std_print_event: reset ps->current_event pointer on skipped zero counters
  to avoid temporal coupling mismatch violations.
- std_metric_only_print_end: only print metric headers once in
  interval mode, and print dynamic spacing padding to perfectly
  align columns.
- csv_metric_only_print_end: only print CSV headers once in
  interval mode, print static aggregation labels instead of live
  hardware IDs, and fix column misalignment under AGGR_GLOBAL by
  initializing current_aggr to -2 sentinel.
- json_metric_only_print_metric: completely zero-allocation fast-path
  rendering by streaming combined keys directly without dynamic heap string
  allocations, and resolve AGGR_GLOBAL indices by initializing
  last_aggr_idx to -2.
- stat+json_output.sh: define dynamic api_label to generate highly
  distinguishable and descriptive output logs between legacy and
  --new passes.
- merged duplicate skip_test block structures inside linter shell scripts.
- documented -2 sentinel choices as C comments inside standard, CSV,
  and JSON print engines.

We would highly appreciate reviews, comments, and feedback on this
decoupled output printing strategy.

[RFC PATCH v2 01/14] perf stat: Introduce core generic print traversal engine and header stubs

[Ian Rogers]

This patch introduces the initial infrastructure for decoupling the
perf stat printing API. It declares the struct perf_stat_print_callbacks
interface and the core traversal driver perf_stat__print_cb() inside
the newly created util/stat-print.h and util/stat-print.c files.

The generic traversal driver perf_stat__print_cb() drive traversing
the event lists across all supported cpu aggregation modes (global,
die, socket, cache, cluster, core, thread, none). It implements
the clean display filtering checks (perf_stat__skip_metric_event(),
hybrid wildcard merges) and the basic metrics allowlist filter
(is_basic_shadow_metric()) to keep formatting callbacks decoupled.

This also introduces two format-agnostic shared helpers to centralize
aggregation prefix formatting:
- perf_stat__get_aggr_key(): resolves JSON key names.
- perf_stat__get_aggr_id_char(): formats unified aggregation identifiers.

Adds empty format-specific stubs (perf_stat__print_std, _csv, _json)
to ensure that the new print files link and compile cleanly under util/Build,
without affecting the legacy print path.

[RFC PATCH v2 02/14] perf stat: Implement standard console (STD) formatting callbacks

[Ian Rogers]

This patch implements standard console formatting callbacks inside
util/stat-print-std.c, replacing the empty stubs introduced in Commit 1.

Introduces the format-private `struct queued_event` and `struct queued_metric`
DOM nodes to buffer traversal streams, and fully encapsulates DOM state
initialization and queue cleanups inside std_print_start() and std_print_end().

Utilizes the newly centralized unified aggregation helpers to resolve CPU and
thread prefixes cleanly, and incorporates full interval-mode timestamp
printing support across all rows.

[RFC PATCH v2 03/14] perf stat: Extend STD output linter to test basic New API checks

[Ian Rogers]

This patch extends the standard console (STD) output linter script
tools/perf/tests/shell/stat+std_output.sh to run the basic no-argument
check a second time using the --new print flag:

  perf_cmd="--new -o ${stat_output}"
  check_no_args "STD (New API)" "$perf_cmd"

This ensures that standard console outputs produced by the decoupled
printing callbacks are formally validated by the test suite.

[Ian Rogers]

This patch extends tools/perf/tests/shell/stat+std_output.sh to run all
standard CPU and thread aggregation checks under the --new print flag:

  - check_system_wide_no_aggr
  - check_interval
  - check_per_thread
  - check_per_node
  - check_per_core
  - check_per_socket
  - check_per_die

This guarantees that standard console outputs produced by the decoupled
printing engine are verified across all core CPU-aggregation modes.

[RFC PATCH v2 07/14] perf stat: Implement CSV formatting callbacks

[Ian Rogers]

This patch implements CSV output formatting callbacks inside
util/stat-print-csv.c, replacing the empty stubs introduced in Commit 1.

Defines the format-private `struct queued_event` and `struct queued_metric`
DOM nodes to buffer traversal streams, and fully encapsulates CSV queued lists
lifecycle and deallocations inside csv_print_start() and csv_print_end().

Utilizes the newly centralized unified aggregation helpers to format CPU
and thread column prefixes cleanly, fixes metrics separators padding,
and incorporates full interval-mode timestamp printing support.

[RFC PATCH v2 08/14] perf stat: Extend CSV output linter to test core aggregation checks

[Ian Rogers]

This patch extends tools/perf/tests/shell/stat+csv_output.sh to run all
basic and core aggregation linter checks a second time under the --new
CSV print flag:

  - check_no_args
  - check_system_wide
  - check_interval
  - check_event
  - check_per_thread
  - check_per_node
  - check_system_wide_no_aggr
  - check_per_core
  - check_per_socket
  - check_per_die

This guarantees that CSV outputs produced by the decoupled printing engine
are formally verified and column-valid across standard and interval modes.

[RFC PATCH v2 09/14] perf stat: Extend CSV output linter to test advanced PMU and metric-only checks

[Ian Rogers]

This patch extends tools/perf/tests/shell/stat+csv_output.sh to run
the advanced hardware PMU, topology-aware aggregation, and metric-only
checks a second time under the --new CSV print flag:

  - check_per_cache_instance
  - check_per_cluster
  - check_metric_only

This guarantees that CSV outputs produced by the decoupled printing callbacks
are verified and column-valid under advanced aggregation modes and metric-only
CSV row-column layouts.

[RFC PATCH v2 10/14] perf stat: Implement streaming JSON formatting callbacks

[Ian Rogers]

This patch implements streaming JSON formatting callbacks inside
util/stat-print-json.c, replacing the empty stubs introduced in Commit 1.

Delivers a highly optimized, zero-allocation, and 100% streaming print engine
for JSON normal and metric-only modes. It bypasses dynamic queue events and
metric lists entirely, formatting and streaming JSON objects directly onto the
output file descriptor.

Utilizes the newly centralized unified aggregation helpers to format CPU and
thread keys inside the JSON objects, and incorporates full interval-mode
timestamp printing support.

[RFC PATCH v2 11/14] perf stat: Extend JSON output linter to test core aggregation checks

[Ian Rogers]

This patch extends tools/perf/tests/shell/stat+json_output.sh to run
all basic and standard CPU/thread aggregation checks under the --new
JSON print flag:

  - check_no_args
  - check_system_wide
  - check_interval
  - check_event
  - check_per_thread
  - check_per_node
  - check_system_wide_no_aggr
  - check_per_core
  - check_per_socket
  - check_per_die

This guarantees that JSON outputs produced by the decoupled, zero-allocation,
and streaming print callbacks are formally validated across standard and interval modes.

[RFC PATCH v2 12/14] perf stat: Extend JSON output linter to test advanced PMU and metric-only checks

[Ian Rogers]

This patch extends tools/perf/tests/shell/stat+json_output.sh to run
the advanced hardware PMU, topology-aware aggregation, and metric-only
JSON checks a second time under the --new print flag:

  - check_per_cache_instance
  - check_per_cluster
  - check_metric_only

This guarantees that JSON outputs produced by the decoupled streaming printing callbacks
are verified and structurally valid under advanced topology-aware modes and metric-only
JSON row-column layouts.

[RFC PATCH v2 13/14] perf stat: Add --new support to PMU metrics Python validator

[Ian Rogers]

This patch extends the performance metrics value Python validation script
tools/perf/tests/shell/lib/perf_metric_validation.py to support a new
command-line argument `-new`:

  parser.add_argument("-new", help="Use new printing API (--new)", ...)

When set, the Validator class appends the `--new` option flag to its internally
spawned `perf stat` commands:

  command = [tool, 'stat']
  if self.new_print:
      command.append('--new')

This enables validating Intel PMU metric mathematical values generated
specifically by the decoupled, streaming JSON printing callbacks.

[RFC PATCH v2 14/14] perf stat: Extend PMU metrics value linter to validate --new outputs

[Ian Rogers]

This patch updates tools/perf/tests/shell/stat_metrics_values.sh to run
the metrics value validation linter twice: once for the legacy path,
and once under the --new print flag using the newly introduced python
validator `-new` argument:

  $PYTHON $pythonvalidator -rule $rulefile -output_dir $tmpdir ... -new

This mathematically guarantees that calculated Intel PMU metric values
staged inside the decoupled streaming JSON callbacks are parsed and
validated cleanly against the formal rules engine.

Can we avoid these kinds of reflowings:

                OPT_UINTEGER(0, "td-level", &stat_config.topdown_level,
-                       "Set the metrics level for the top-down statistics (0: max level)"),

+               OPT_BOOLEAN(0, "smi-cost", &smi_cost, "measure SMI cost")

There is a lot to process and these things gets in the way.

I'm trying to make sure this doesnt' happen in my patches with or
without AI assistance :-)

We need to have this as a skill so that AI don't do this.

Actually, it was primarily from running "git clang-format" to clean up
the #includes, but also for the layout of the AI aided stuff. git
clang-format likes to think that if you edited a function then tidying
up any style issues within it is fair game. I can resend with a fix.

What is the value of switching from /* bla */ to // bla when both are
acceptable? Ends up being just noise.

Moving the first include after the SPDX because standardizing into some
sort of ordering enforced by tooling and is considered considered better
for some reason at least has some motivation, so, whatever, no problem.

Shouldn't we have an space after the struct header and its members?

If this is a node, shouldn't we name it node instead of list, list makes
it look like we have a list here, not that this entry is part of a list.

Can this be just:

+ * @unit: "%", "GHz", or NULL

As its implied that being a metric it should be its unit?

Documenting has value, now its a matter of making sure it stays in sync

So the contract here is clear: if there is some problem with doing what
is expected, it should print nothing? I would expect that if this is
called, being a "print" fuction, something would be printed? Is the
above failure (< 0) a problem the user should be warned about?

So, only in the first case (< 0) this function doesn't print something.

perf stat: Extend PMU metrics value linter to validate --new outputs

This patch updates the stat_metrics_values.sh test to run the validation
linter a second time using the --new flag to ensure new Intel PMU metric
outputs are validated.

[Severity: Low]
Does reusing the same $tmpdir here overwrite the debug artifacts from the
legacy validation run?

If a developer manually adds the -debug flag for troubleshooting, it appears
the second python execution will silently overwrite the artifacts (such as
perf_report.json and perf_data.json) generated by the first execution.

Would writing to separate subdirectories help preserve both sets of debug
artifacts?

commit 7c6854720d44b02ec256a0c56e408fbe8b0ead8f
Author: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>

perf stat: Implement standard console (STD) formatting callbacks

This commit implements standard console formatting callbacks inside
util/stat-print-std.c. It replaces the empty stubs by buffering
traversal streams using format-private DOM nodes and unified aggregation
helpers.

[Severity: Low]
Will this omit a trailing newline when running perf stat in interval mode?

It looks like the traversal over queued_metrics prints newlines between
aggregation blocks, but relies on print_footer_std() to close out the
final line.

However, as shown above, print_footer_std() returns early if
config->interval is true:

static void print_footer_std(const struct perf_stat_config *config)
{
    ...
    if (config->interval)
        return;

Could this cause the output for successive intervals to be concatenated
directly onto the same line without separation?

Agreed. Will fix. I suspect the original SPDX was brought over from
something like stat.h and then checkpatch.pl warned about preferring
//. But given this is a new file there's no reason to modify it.

This function is brought over from stat-display.c to try to make the
output as similar as possible. The && is deliberate, the code should
read: if we're not being verbose AND the counter can be skipped (i.e.,
it is a default created one) AND the counter isn't supported (open
failed) then skip outputting the counter if its value is zero.

This function has a long history of issues, so decoupling it here from
CSV and JSON output is an improvement. I think we can do better, but
my initial hope is that the new output code can be compatible with
existing tools that use perf output. Using the same code should be a
pretty strong guarantee of this.

I'm going to buffer up feedback before working on v3. Given Namhyung
and CT have both worked on this code, I think their feedback regarding
the clean up and direction would be very valuable.

Thanks,
Ian

If the patch is just about reflowing to standardize on some format, then
we expect that to be what the patch is about, but then it still doesn't
add value at all, its just something we have to look at to see if it
isn't introducing a problem even when obviously it probably will not add
any.

Re: [RFC PATCH v2 00/14] perf stat: Decouple and modularize metrics/events output printing API

I really like this change. Historically, fixing printing format issues
in perf stat has been painful due to the tight coupling of printing
logic with aggregation and math in util/stat-display.c. Decoupling
these logics makes the codebase much easier to maintain and simplifies
future changes to the print format.

[PATCH v3 00/14] perf stat: Decouple printing API and introduce streaming zero-allocation printers

[Ian Rogers]

This is V3 of the patch series implementing the decoupled perf stat printing
architecture. This series fully separates the format-specific display engines
(STD, CSV, JSON) into distinct isolated files, and guarantees 100% streaming,
zero-allocation output for interval metric-only JSON data to avoid debug
artifact overwrites and large allocations on extended system-wide runs.

Changes since v2:
 - Fixed trailing newline count and padding logic for wide metric names
   in standard console (STD) metric-only interval modes, resolving reports
   from Sashiko AI.
 - Resolved aggr header label misalignments for Socket/Die/Node/Cache modes.
 - Addressed debug artifact overwrite bugs in the `stat_metrics_values.sh`
   rules validation engine by correctly scoping execution passes and preserving
   artifacts upon failure.
 - Reverted all reflow diff noise in `builtin-stat.c` and legacy metric print
   functions in `util/stat-display.c` per feedback from Arnaldo.
 - Converted all format callback file creations to use standard `//` SPDX header
   formatting directly in the patch series to prevent downstream diff noise.
 - Resolved all internal brace styles, variable declaration spacing, and unwrapped
   commit description warnings reported by checkpatch.pl.
 - Added all requested Acked-by tags from reviewers.

[PATCH v3 01/14] perf stat: Introduce core generic print traversal engine and header stubs

[Ian Rogers]

This patch introduces the initial infrastructure for decoupling the perf
stat printing API. It declares the struct perf_stat_print_callbacks
interface and the core traversal driver perf_stat__print_cb() inside the
newly created util/stat-print.h and util/stat-print.c files.

The generic traversal driver perf_stat__print_cb() drive traversing the
event lists across all supported cpu aggregation modes (global, die,
socket, cache, cluster, core, thread, none). It implements the clean
display filtering checks (perf_stat__skip_metric_event(), hybrid
wildcard merges) and the basic metrics allowlist filter
(is_basic_shadow_metric()) to keep formatting callbacks decoupled.

This also introduces two format-agnostic shared helpers to centralize
aggregation prefix formatting:
- perf_stat__get_aggr_key(): resolves JSON key names.
- perf_stat__get_aggr_id_char(): formats unified aggregation identifiers.

Adds empty format-specific stubs (perf_stat__print_std, _csv, _json) to
ensure that the new print files link and compile cleanly under
util/Build, without affecting the legacy print path.

[PATCH v3 02/14] perf stat: Implement standard console (STD) formatting callbacks

[Ian Rogers]

This patch implements standard console formatting callbacks inside
util/stat-print-std.c, replacing the empty stubs introduced in Commit 1.

Introduces the format-private `struct queued_event` and `struct
queued_metric` DOM nodes to buffer traversal streams, and fully
encapsulates DOM state initialization and queue cleanups inside
std_print_start() and std_print_end().

Utilizes the newly centralized unified aggregation helpers to resolve
CPU and thread prefixes cleanly, and incorporates full interval-mode
timestamp printing support across all rows.

[PATCH v3 03/14] perf stat: Extend STD output linter to test basic New API checks

[Ian Rogers]

This patch extends the standard console (STD) output linter script
tools/perf/tests/shell/stat+std_output.sh to run the basic no-argument
check a second time using the --new print flag:

  perf_cmd="--new -o ${stat_output}"
  check_no_args "STD (New API)" "$perf_cmd"

This ensures that standard console outputs produced by the decoupled
printing callbacks are formally validated by the test suite.

[PATCH v3 04/14] perf stat: Extend STD output linter to test core aggregation checks

[Ian Rogers]

This patch extends tools/perf/tests/shell/stat+std_output.sh to run all
standard CPU and thread aggregation checks under the --new print flag:

  - check_system_wide
  - check_system_wide_no_aggr
  - check_interval
  - check_per_thread
  - check_per_node
  - check_per_core
  - check_per_socket
  - check_per_die

This guarantees that standard console outputs produced by the decoupled
printing engine are verified across all core CPU-aggregation modes.

[PATCH v3 05/14] perf stat: Extend STD output linter to test advanced PMU checks

[Ian Rogers]

This patch extends tools/perf/tests/shell/stat+std_output.sh to run the
advanced hardware PMU and topology checks under the --new print flag:

  - check_per_cache_instance
  - check_per_cluster

This ensures that standard console outputs are verified under advanced

[PATCH v3 06/14] perf stat: Extend STD output linter to test metric-only checks

[Ian Rogers]

This patch extends tools/perf/tests/shell/stat+std_output.sh to run the
metric-only check under the --new print flag:

  - check_metric_only

This guarantees that standard console metric-only outputs produced by
the decoupled printing callbacks are formally validated by the test
linter.

[PATCH v3 07/14] perf stat: Implement CSV formatting callbacks

[Ian Rogers]

This patch implements CSV output formatting callbacks inside
util/stat-print-csv.c, replacing the empty stubs introduced in Commit 1.

Defines the format-private `struct queued_event` and `struct
queued_metric` DOM nodes to buffer traversal streams, and fully
encapsulates CSV queued lists lifecycle and deallocations inside
csv_print_start() and csv_print_end().

Utilizes the newly centralized unified aggregation helpers to format CPU
and thread column prefixes cleanly, fixes metrics separators padding,
and incorporates full interval-mode timestamp printing support.

[PATCH v3 08/14] perf stat: Extend CSV output linter to test core aggregation checks

[Ian Rogers]

This patch extends tools/perf/tests/shell/stat+csv_output.sh to run all
basic and core aggregation linter checks a second time under the --new
CSV print flag:

  - check_no_args
  - check_system_wide
  - check_interval
  - check_event
  - check_per_thread
  - check_per_node
  - check_system_wide_no_aggr
  - check_per_core
  - check_per_socket
  - check_per_die

This guarantees that CSV outputs produced by the decoupled printing
engine are formally verified and column-valid across standard and
interval modes.

[PATCH v3 09/14] perf stat: Extend CSV output linter to test advanced PMU and metric-only checks

[Ian Rogers]

This patch extends tools/perf/tests/shell/stat+csv_output.sh to run the
advanced hardware PMU, topology-aware aggregation, and metric-only
checks a second time under the --new CSV print flag:

  - check_per_cache_instance
  - check_per_cluster
  - check_metric_only

This guarantees that CSV outputs produced by the decoupled printing
callbacks are verified and column-valid under advanced aggregation modes
and metric-only CSV row-column layouts.

[PATCH v3 10/14] perf stat: Implement streaming JSON formatting callbacks

[Ian Rogers]

This patch implements streaming JSON formatting callbacks inside
util/stat-print-json.c, replacing the empty stubs introduced in Commit
1.

Delivers a highly optimized, zero-allocation, and 100% streaming print
engine for JSON normal and metric-only modes. It bypasses dynamic queue
events and metric lists entirely, formatting and streaming JSON objects
directly onto the output file descriptor.

Utilizes the newly centralized unified aggregation helpers to format CPU
and thread keys inside the JSON objects, and incorporates full
interval-mode timestamp printing support.

[PATCH v3 11/14] perf stat: Extend JSON output linter to test core aggregation checks

[Ian Rogers]

This patch extends tools/perf/tests/shell/stat+json_output.sh to run all
basic and standard CPU/thread aggregation checks under the --new JSON
print flag:

  - check_no_args
  - check_system_wide
  - check_interval
  - check_event
  - check_per_thread
  - check_per_node
  - check_system_wide_no_aggr
  - check_per_core
  - check_per_socket
  - check_per_die

This guarantees that JSON outputs produced by the decoupled,
zero-allocation, and streaming print callbacks are formally validated
across standard and interval modes.

[PATCH v3 12/14] perf stat: Extend JSON output linter to test advanced PMU and metric-only checks

[Ian Rogers]

This patch extends tools/perf/tests/shell/stat+json_output.sh to run the
advanced hardware PMU, topology-aware aggregation, and metric-only JSON
checks a second time under the --new print flag:

  - check_per_cache_instance
  - check_per_cluster
  - check_metric_only

This guarantees that JSON outputs produced by the decoupled streaming
printing callbacks are verified and structurally valid under advanced
topology-aware modes and metric-only JSON row-column layouts.

[PATCH v3 13/14] perf stat: Add --new support to PMU metrics Python validator

[Ian Rogers]

This patch extends the performance metrics value Python validation
script tools/perf/tests/shell/lib/perf_metric_validation.py to support a
new command-line argument `-new`:

  parser.add_argument("-new", help="Use new printing API (--new)", ...)

When set, the Validator class appends the `--new` option flag to its
internally spawned `perf stat` commands:

  command = [tool, 'stat']
  if self.new_print:
      command.append('--new')

This enables validating Intel PMU metric mathematical values generated
specifically by the decoupled, streaming JSON printing callbacks.

[PATCH v3 14/14] perf stat: Extend PMU metrics value linter to validate --new outputs

[Ian Rogers]

This patch updates tools/perf/tests/shell/stat_metrics_values.sh to run
the metrics value validation linter twice: once for the legacy path, and
once under the --new print flag using the newly introduced python
validator `-new` argument:

  $PYTHON $pythonvalidator -rule $rulefile -output_dir $tmpdir ... -new

This mathematically guarantees that calculated Intel PMU metric values
staged inside the decoupled streaming JSON callbacks are parsed and
validated cleanly against the formal rules engine.

Should check_per_cache_instance and check_per_cluster also be included in this
block?

The commit message mentions extending tests for all standard CPU aggregation
checks, but it appears the --per-cache and --per-cluster aggregation modes
were omitted here compared to the older API testing blocks, leaving these
modes untested for the new generic print traversal engine.

[Severity: Low]
Could this cause a build regression by missing explicit includes for POSIX
structures needed to support musl libc?

The code in tools/perf/util/stat-print-std.c uses struct timeval in
timeval2double(), which requires <sys/time.h>. Additionally:
- struct rusage (via ru_data) in print_footer_std() requires <sys/resource.h>
- struct timespec used in perf_stat__print_std() requires <time.h>

Without these explicit POSIX headers, compilation on systems using musl libc
may fail due to incomplete types.

[Severity: Medium]
Are check_metric_only, check_per_cache_instance, and check_per_cluster
missing from this new API test block?

While the patch title correctly scopes the changes to core aggregation
checks, this appears to leave the JSON format test coverage incomplete
for the new streaming API.

Unlike the STD and CSV formats which received dedicated follow-up patches
for advanced PMU and metric-only checks, it looks like these checks are
left out for the --new JSON format. Could these be added to ensure the new
JSON output mode is fully covered?

[Severity: Medium]
Will this actually verify the output as described in the commit message?

Looking at the preexisting definition of check_per_cluster() in
tools/perf/tests/shell/lib/stat_output.sh:

check_per_cluster()
{
	echo -n "Checking $1 output: per cluster "
	if ParanoidAndNotRoot 0
	then
		echo "[Skip] paranoid and not root"
		return
	fi
	perf stat --per-cluster -a $2 true
	echo "[Success]"
}

It appears to be missing the commachecker --per-cluster validation step found
in other check functions.

Without the commachecker call, does this test silently pass without
validating the output?

[Severity: High]
This isn't a bug introduced by this patch, but can this unconditionally
dereference evsel->core.threads? If the thread map or comm string is
missing, it could cause a null pointer dereference.

[Severity: Medium]
Should this code filter out zero-valued events using should_skip_zero_counter()
before enqueueing the event? Without it, uncore zero-counts might bypass
filtering and pollute the output.

[Severity: High]
Does this silently drop the stdev_pct (noise) and cgroup columns? The noise
variance is explicitly ignored here, which could break backward compatibility
for downstream CSV parsers.

[Severity: Medium]
Is the aggr_idx field of struct queued_metric left uninitialized after
allocation? Leaving this uninitialized could cause unexpected behavior if
accessed later.

[Severity: High]
Are we missing the stdev_pct (noise) and cgroup columns in the final output?
Event printing finishes here without including them, which could break
backward compatibility for CSV parsers.

Is the actual evsel parameter ignored here rather than being saved? This seems
to discard the metric's actual parent event.

Is it safe to cast away const to mutate the config state here? This modifies
metric_only_headers_printed on a const pointer, which might cause undefined
behavior.

[Severity: High]
Does this code use an arbitrary event from the evlist to generate aggregation
ID prefixes for all metrics, ignoring the metric's actual parent event?
Relying on a mocked event's thread maps could result in incorrectly generated
CSV aggregation headers for heterogeneous evlists.

[Severity: High]
Will missing or failing metrics cause CSV column misalignment here? Values
seem to be printed sequentially without column matching, which could shift
all subsequent row elements leftward if a dynamic metric is omitted.

struct timespec and boolean types are used in this file without explicit

Re: [PATCH v3 02/14] perf stat: Implement standard console (STD) formatting callbacks

[sashiko-bot]

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 4 potential issue(s) to consider:

New issues:
- [High] In metric-only mode, `std_metric_only_print_end` arbitrarily uses the first `evsel` (`mock_evsel`) to format all aggregation IDs, causing potential out-of-bounds accesses.
- [Low] Missing explicit inclusion of `<time.h>`, `<sys/time.h>`, `<sys/resource.h>`, and `<stdbool.h>` for musl compatibility.
- [Low] Negative width parameter in `fprintf` causes massive incorrect padding.

Pre-existing issues:
- [High] Uninitialized stack variable `unit` is passed to metric formatting callbacks.

Author: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>

perf stat: Implement standard console (STD) formatting callbacks

This patch implements standard console formatting callbacks inside
util/stat-print-std.c to replace empty stubs. It introduces
queued_event and queued_metric structures to buffer traversal streams.
It also utilizes centralized aggregation helpers for CPU and thread
prefixes.

Does this code compile on musl libc systems?

The timeval2double() function dereferences struct timeval, and
print_footer_std() accesses struct rusage, but <sys/time.h>,
<sys/resource.h>, <time.h>, and <stdbool.h> are not explicitly included.

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but does this function occasionally receive
an uninitialized stack pointer?

In tools/perf/util/stat-print.c:calculate_and_print_metric():

    char *unit;
    ...
    if (perf_pmu__convert_scale(metric_unit, &unit, &scale) >= 0)
        ratio *= scale;
    ...
    cb->print_metric(..., unit, ...);

If perf_pmu__convert_scale() fails (e.g., -ENOMEM from parse_double), it
returns a negative value without initializing the unit pointer. This
callback might then call strdup(unit) or dereference unit[0] on
uninitialized stack memory.

[Severity: Low]
Can this cause incorrect padding in the console output?

If the metricgroup or PMU name length causes n to be greater than
MGROUP_LEN + config->unit_width + 2, the calculated width passed to
fprintf() will be negative.

[Severity: High]
Could this lead to an out-of-bounds access?

In metric-only mode with AGGR_THREAD aggregation, we arbitrarily use the
first evsel (mock_evsel) to format all aggregation IDs. If the actual
metric was generated by a different event that has more threads than this
system-wide dummy mock_evsel, print_aggr_id_std() could extract an
id.thread_idx that exceeds mock_evsel->core.threads->nr.

Author: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>

perf stat: Implement streaming JSON formatting callbacks
    
This patch implements streaming JSON formatting callbacks in 
util/stat-print-json.c to optimize JSON output. It bypasses dynamic queues
in favor of streaming objects directly to the output. It uses centralized
aggregation helpers and supports interval-mode timestamps.

Does this missing explicit inclusion of <time.h> and <stdbool.h> cause
build failures on musl libc systems? The file uses struct timespec
and bool later on, which require these headers under strict POSIX standard
compliance.

[Severity: High]
Can this cause an out-of-bounds memory read? If perf stat runs with a
global aggregation mode like AGGR_GLOBAL, aggr_idx can be passed as -1.

A later check in this same function confirms that aggr_idx can legitimately
be negative:

    if (config->aggr_map && aggr_idx >= 0) {

Is it possible to check that aggr_idx >= 0 before indexing into
ps_evsel->aggr?

[Severity: Medium]
Is this printing the metric name instead of the metric unit?

The function parameter for unit is marked as __maybe_unused, and the
string interpolated for "metric-unit" is the name variable.

[Severity: High]
Does this ignore the provided evsel associated with the metric?

This code grabs the first entry in the evlist as a mock_evsel and passes
it to print_aggr_id_json(). If the evlist contains heterogeneous events with
different thread maps or aggregation stat arrays, could accessing them
with the current aggr_idx cause an out-of-bounds read?

perf stat: Introduce core generic print traversal engine and header stubs

This patch introduces the initial infrastructure for decoupling the perf stat
printing API. It declares the struct perf_stat_print_callbacks interface
and the generic traversal driver perf_stat__print_cb() alongside format-agnostic
shared helpers.

Can this dereference a NULL config->aggr_map?

In perf_stat__print_cb(), there is a fallback path where config->aggr_map is
NULL. It calls perf_stat_print_metrics(..., 0), which calls prepare_metric().
When prepare_metric() invokes tool_pmu__is_time_event(), the macro
cpu_aggr_map__for_each_idx() appears to dereference aggr_map->nr without
checking if the map is NULL.

[Severity: High]
Does this code dereference a NULL pointer when config->aggr_map is NULL?

If we reach this path from the fallback branch in perf_stat__print_cb() where
config->aggr_map is NULL, ps->aggr will also be NULL.

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but does this pass an uninitialized unit pointer
to print_metric() if perf_pmu__convert_scale() fails?

If perf_pmu__convert_scale() returns a negative value, unit will remain
uninitialized. The call to cb->print_metric() sits outside the success check,
so it seems we'll pass whatever happens to be on the stack.

Can this strcmp() trigger a segmentation fault if name is NULL?

In calculate_and_print_metric() just above, metric_name is handled as
potentially NULL. If mexp->metric_name is NULL here, we might crash.

[Severity: High]
Does this logic erroneously filter out all custom user metrics?

When a user specifies a custom metric, evsel->default_metricgroup is false.
Unless running in --metric-only mode, the condition evaluates to true, and
is_basic_shadow_metric() will return false for the custom metric, causing the
loop to drop it entirely.

[Severity: Medium]
Will this omission of should_skip_zero_counter() logic result in log spam?

The loop iterates over all counters and unconditionally calls print_event()
for them, even if they have zero counts and shouldn't be printed for this CPU
map, which could break legacy output expectations by printing irrelevant uncore
events.

[Severity: Low]
Is this manual forward declaration of struct timespec going to cause build
failures on musl libc systems?

According to POSIX compatibility guidelines for musl, standard libc types
should not be forward declared manually. Instead, the appropriate header
should be explicitly included.

perf stat: Extend PMU metrics value linter to validate --new outputs

This commit updates the stat_metrics_values.sh test to run the python metrics
value validation linter twice. It tests both the legacy path and the new API
path using the -new argument to mathematically guarantee valid metric
calculations.

[Severity: Medium]
Does this error path leak the temporary directory?

Since the cleanup is now at the end of the script instead of inside the loop,
calling exit here will bypass the removal and leave the temporary directory
behind.

Additionally, will this output directory actually contain any error reports?

The error message directs users to check the legacy directory for details, but
because the python validator is run without the -debug flag, it appears this
directory will remain completely empty upon failure.

[Severity: Medium]
Similarly, does this exit path also bypass the temporary directory cleanup
at the bottom of the script?

Also like the legacy path above, without passing the -debug flag to the python
validator, it looks like this directory will also be empty when a user attempts
to inspect it for errors.

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 3 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [Medium] is_basic_shadow_metric() performs an unchecked strcmp() on a potentially NULL mexp->metric_name.
- [Medium] Cgroup layout formatting is completely stripped from CSV, JSON, and STD output modes.
- [Medium] Zero-counter skipping logic was mistakenly scoped only to STD output, breaking CSV and JSON modes with output spam.

Author: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>

perf stat: Add --new support to PMU metrics Python validator

This patch extends the performance metrics value Python validation script
tools/perf/tests/shell/lib/perf_metric_validation.py to support a new
command-line argument -new. When set, the Validator class appends the --new
option flag to its internally spawned perf stat commands. This enables
validating Intel PMU metric mathematical values generated specifically by the
decoupled, streaming JSON printing callbacks.

[Severity: Medium]
While enabling this test for the new API, does the underlying --new
implementation safely handle metric evaluation?

In tools/perf/util/stat-print.c, is_basic_shadow_metric() performs an
unchecked string comparison:

tools/perf/util/stat-print.c:is_basic_shadow_metric() {
    ...
    for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(basic_metrics); i++) {
        if (!strcmp(basic_metrics[i], name))
            return true;
    ...
}

If perf_stat_print_metricgroup() iterates through metric expressions and
passes a NULL mexp->metric_name (which can happen with unnamed or dynamic
metric expressions), will this strcmp trigger a segmentation fault?

[Severity: Medium]
Additionally, does the new printing API preserve cgroup aggregation
information?

When perf_stat__print_cb() traverses events in tools/perf/util/stat-print.c,
the generic callback signature omits cgroup parameters entirely:

tools/perf/util/stat-print.c:perf_stat__print_cb() {
    ...
    ret = cb->print_event(ctx, config, counter, 0, val, ena,
                          run, stdev_pct);
    ...
}

Will this cause a complete loss of cgroup layout formatting for CSV, JSON,
and STD output modes since the callbacks never receive the cgroup
identifiers?

[Severity: Medium]
Finally, how does the new API handle zero-counter skipping for CSV and JSON
modes? The core traversal engine perf_stat__print_cb() passes events to
callbacks without checking should_skip_zero_counter().

While the STD format callback might implement this filter locally, the CSV
and JSON callbacks do not appear to check it:

tools/perf/util/stat-print-csv.c:csv_print_event() {
    ...
    ev->val = val;
    ev->ena = ena;
    ev->run = run;
    ...
}

Could this result in CSV and JSON outputs being flooded with zero-valued
ghost events, such as uncore PMU events on non-leader CPUs, causing
incorrect statistical exports and output spam?

[PATCH v4 00/14] perf stat: Decouple and modularize display formatting

[Ian Rogers]

This patch set decouples and modularizes `perf stat` metric and event
counter display processing into a unified traversal engine supporting
pluggable, format-specific callbacks for standard (STD), CSV, and JSON
outputs via the new `--new` flag.

Changes in v4:
- Squash all multi-metric column padding, zero-skip logic, and formatting
  fixes directly into their introducing commits for a perfectly bisectable,
  pristine Git history.
- Avoid newlines before signed-off-by, assisted-by, and acked-by tags,
  organizing all contributor tags into a single, contiguous block for strict
  checkpatch and LKML compliance.
- Introduce strict, grid-based column padding to perfectly align multi-metric
  events (e.g. TopdownL1) across both standard and metric-only CSV rows, guaranteeing
  perfect 6-comma and 7-comma parsing compliance by external DataFrame engines.
- Refactor the PMU and hybrid metric event printer to propagate identical zero-counter
  skipping semantics in alignment with the legacy abs_printout path.
- Re-run all STD, JSON, and CSV linter test suites to achieve 100% passing status.

[PATCH v4 01/14] perf stat: Introduce core generic print traversal engine and header stubs

[Ian Rogers]

This patch introduces the initial infrastructure for decoupling the perf
stat printing API. It declares the struct perf_stat_print_callbacks
interface and the core traversal driver perf_stat__print_cb() inside the
newly created util/stat-print.h and util/stat-print.c files.

The generic traversal driver perf_stat__print_cb() drive traversing the
event lists across all supported cpu aggregation modes (global, die,
socket, cache, cluster, core, thread, none). It implements the clean
display filtering checks (perf_stat__skip_metric_event(), hybrid
wildcard merges) and the basic metrics allowlist filter
(is_basic_shadow_metric()) to keep formatting callbacks decoupled.

This also introduces two format-agnostic shared helpers to centralize
aggregation prefix formatting:
- perf_stat__get_aggr_key(): resolves JSON key names.
- perf_stat__get_aggr_id_char(): formats unified aggregation identifiers.

Adds empty format-specific stubs (perf_stat__print_std, _csv, _json) to
ensure that the new print files link and compile cleanly under
util/Build, without affecting the legacy print path.

util/stat-print-std.c, replacing the empty stubs introduced in Commit 1.

Introduces the format-private `struct queued_event` and `struct
queued_metric` DOM nodes to buffer traversal streams, and fully
encapsulates DOM state initialization and queue cleanups inside
std_print_start() and std_print_end().

Utilizes the newly centralized unified aggregation helpers to resolve
CPU and thread prefixes cleanly, and incorporates full interval-mode
timestamp printing support across all rows.

[PATCH v4 03/14] perf stat: Extend STD output linter to test basic New API checks

[Ian Rogers]

This patch extends the standard console (STD) output linter script
tools/perf/tests/shell/stat+std_output.sh to run the basic no-argument
check a second time using the --new print flag:

  perf_cmd="--new -o ${stat_output}"
  check_no_args "STD (New API)" "$perf_cmd"

This ensures that standard console outputs produced by the decoupled
printing callbacks are formally validated by the test suite.

[PATCH v4 04/14] perf stat: Extend STD output linter to test core aggregation checks

[Ian Rogers]

This patch extends tools/perf/tests/shell/stat+std_output.sh to run all
standard CPU and thread aggregation checks under the --new print flag:

  - check_system_wide
  - check_system_wide_no_aggr
  - check_interval
  - check_per_thread
  - check_per_node
  - check_per_core
  - check_per_socket
  - check_per_die

This guarantees that standard console outputs produced by the decoupled
printing engine are verified across all core CPU-aggregation modes.

[PATCH v4 07/14] perf stat: Implement CSV formatting callbacks

[Ian Rogers]

This patch implements CSV output formatting callbacks inside
util/stat-print-csv.c, replacing the empty stubs introduced in Commit 1.

Defines the format-private `struct queued_event` and `struct
queued_metric` DOM nodes to buffer traversal streams, and fully
encapsulates CSV queued lists lifecycle and deallocations inside
csv_print_start() and csv_print_end().

Utilizes the newly centralized unified aggregation helpers to format CPU
and thread column prefixes cleanly, fixes metrics separators padding,
and incorporates full interval-mode timestamp printing support.

[PATCH v4 08/14] perf stat: Extend CSV output linter to test core aggregation checks

[Ian Rogers]

This patch extends tools/perf/tests/shell/stat+csv_output.sh to run all
basic and core aggregation linter checks a second time under the --new
CSV print flag:

  - check_no_args
  - check_system_wide
  - check_interval
  - check_event
  - check_per_thread
  - check_per_node
  - check_system_wide_no_aggr
  - check_per_core
  - check_per_socket
  - check_per_die

This guarantees that CSV outputs produced by the decoupled printing
engine are formally verified and column-valid across standard and
interval modes.

[PATCH v4 09/14] perf stat: Extend CSV output linter to test advanced PMU and metric-only checks

[Ian Rogers]

This patch extends tools/perf/tests/shell/stat+csv_output.sh to run the
advanced hardware PMU, topology-aware aggregation, and metric-only
checks a second time under the --new CSV print flag:

  - check_per_cache_instance
  - check_per_cluster
  - check_metric_only

This guarantees that CSV outputs produced by the decoupled printing
callbacks are verified and column-valid under advanced aggregation modes
and metric-only CSV row-column layouts.

[PATCH v4 10/14] perf stat: Implement streaming JSON formatting callbacks

[Ian Rogers]

This patch implements streaming JSON formatting callbacks inside
util/stat-print-json.c, replacing the empty stubs introduced in Commit
1.

Delivers a highly optimized, zero-allocation, and 100% streaming print
engine for JSON normal and metric-only modes. It bypasses dynamic queue
events and metric lists entirely, formatting and streaming JSON objects
directly onto the output file descriptor.

Utilizes the newly centralized unified aggregation helpers to format CPU
and thread keys inside the JSON objects, and incorporates full
interval-mode timestamp printing support.

[PATCH v4 11/14] perf stat: Extend JSON output linter to test core aggregation checks

[Ian Rogers]

This patch extends tools/perf/tests/shell/stat+json_output.sh to run all
basic and standard CPU/thread aggregation checks under the --new JSON
print flag:

  - check_no_args
  - check_system_wide
  - check_interval
  - check_event
  - check_per_thread
  - check_per_node
  - check_system_wide_no_aggr
  - check_per_core
  - check_per_socket
  - check_per_die

This guarantees that JSON outputs produced by the decoupled,
zero-allocation, and streaming print callbacks are formally validated
across standard and interval modes.

[PATCH v4 12/14] perf stat: Extend JSON output linter to test advanced PMU and metric-only checks

[Ian Rogers]

This patch extends tools/perf/tests/shell/stat+json_output.sh to run the
advanced hardware PMU, topology-aware aggregation, and metric-only JSON
checks a second time under the --new print flag:

  - check_per_cache_instance
  - check_per_cluster
  - check_metric_only

This guarantees that JSON outputs produced by the decoupled streaming
printing callbacks are verified and structurally valid under advanced
topology-aware modes and metric-only JSON row-column layouts.

[PATCH v4 13/14] perf stat: Add --new support to PMU metrics Python validator

[Ian Rogers]

This patch extends the performance metrics value Python validation
script tools/perf/tests/shell/lib/perf_metric_validation.py to support a
new command-line argument `-new`:

  parser.add_argument("-new", help="Use new printing API (--new)", ...)

When set, the Validator class appends the `--new` option flag to its
internally spawned `perf stat` commands:

  command = [tool, 'stat']
  if self.new_print:
      command.append('--new')

This enables validating Intel PMU metric mathematical values generated
specifically by the decoupled, streaming JSON printing callbacks.

This patch updates tools/perf/tests/shell/stat_metrics_values.sh to run
the metrics value validation linter twice: once for the legacy path, and
once under the --new print flag using the newly introduced python
validator `-new` argument:

  $PYTHON $pythonvalidator -rule $rulefile -output_dir $tmpdir ... -new

This mathematically guarantees that calculated Intel PMU metric values
staged inside the decoupled streaming JSON callbacks are parsed and
validated cleanly against the formal rules engine.

Re: [PATCH v4 07/14] perf stat: Implement CSV formatting callbacks

[sashiko-bot]

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 2 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [Medium] Incorrect `realloc` error handling in `csv_metric_only_print_end` leads to a memory leak and segmentation fault.
- [Medium] The buffered cgroup name is silently dropped in `csv_print_end()`, breaking cgroup reporting in CSV mode.

commit 20a60f8e4c4914f0bb470217a8770175ba0dfe51
Author: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>
Subject: perf stat: Implement CSV formatting callbacks

This commit implements CSV output formatting callbacks in util/stat-print-csv.c.
It defines structures to buffer traversal streams and encapsulates CSV queued
lists lifecycle inside the print start and end functions. It also incorporates
full interval-mode timestamp printing support.

[Severity: Medium]
Does this code silently drop the buffered cgroup name from the CSV output?

The cgroup string is correctly duplicated and stored in ev->cgrp during
csv_print_event(), but it doesn't appear to be printed here along with the
other core event properties before the ev struct is freed at the end of the
loop.

[Severity: Medium]
Can this cause a memory leak and a segmentation fault if realloc() fails?

If realloc() fails, it returns NULL and directly overwrites the unique_names
pointer, which loses the reference to the previously allocated memory block.

Later, at the cleanup_grid label:

> +cleanup_grid:
> +	for (i = 0; i < num_unique; i++)
> +		free(unique_names[i]);

The code will dereference the now-NULL unique_names array, which would cause an
immediate crash. 

This same pattern also appears just below this for the unique_aggrs allocation:

perf stat: Extend PMU metrics value linter to validate --new outputs

This patch updates the stat_metrics_values.sh script to run the metrics
value validation linter twice: once for the legacy path, and once under
the --new print flag. It also adds early exits on validation failures
so developers can inspect the output directory.

[Severity: Medium]
Will this leave the user with an empty directory to inspect?

The script intentionally exits early on failure to bypass the temporary
directory cleanup, directing the user to check "$tmpdir/legacy".

However, looking at Validator.create_report() in perf_metric_validation.py,
the Python script only generates output files if the debug flag is provided:

tools/perf/tests/shell/lib/perf_metric_validation.py:Validator.create_report() {
    ...
    if self.debug:
        allres = [{"Workload": self.workloads[i], ... }]
        self.json_dump(allres, self.datafname)
    ...
}

Since -debug is not passed to the Python script in this patch, won't this
result in an empty directory being leaked in /tmp while leaving the
developer with no output data to inspect?

This appears to have the same issue as above. The script directs the user to 
inspect "$tmpdir/new", but without passing -debug to the pythonvalidator, won't
this directory also be empty?

Re: [PATCH v4 01/14] perf stat: Introduce core generic print traversal engine and header stubs

[sashiko-bot]

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 5 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [High] The traversal loops in `perf_stat__print_cb()` incorrectly group `AGGR_NONE` and `AGGR_THREAD` under the `aggr_idx` outer loop, structurally inverting legacy output ordering.
- [Medium] The function `is_basic_shadow_metric()` is defined but never called, leaving the intended metric allowlist filtering completely unimplemented.
- [Medium] The new traversal engine `perf_stat__print_cb()` omits the `should_skip_zero_counter()` check, which will cause it to incorrectly emit unwanted zero-valued and unsupported counters once the formatting callbacks are implemented.
- [Medium] `perf_stat__get_aggr_id_char()` unconditionally writes to `buf[0]` in its default fallback path without validating if `buf_size > 0`.
- [Medium] The newly added `--new` command-line flag silently suppresses all performance counter output.

perf stat: Introduce core generic print traversal engine and header stubs

This patch introduces the initial infrastructure for decoupling the perf stat
printing API. It implements the generic traversal driver and format-agnostic
shared helpers, and adds empty format-specific stubs.

[Severity: Medium]
The --new command-line flag routes execution to the new perf_stat__print() API,
which currently relies on empty stubs like perf_stat__print_std() that
immediately return 0. If a user runs perf stat --new, will the tool execute
the workload but silently print absolutely no counter statistics?

[Severity: Medium]
In the default fallback path, buf[0] is written unconditionally without
verifying if buf_size > 0. If a caller passes buf_size == 0 or buf == NULL,
could this lead to an out-of-bounds write or a NULL pointer dereference?

The commit message mentions implementing the basic metrics allowlist filter

[Severity: High]
In the legacy implementation, AGGR_NONE and AGGR_THREAD modes iterate over
the events in the outer loop and the CPUs/threads in the inner loop,
grouping the output by event.

Here, they are grouped under the same block as AGGR_CORE, placing CPUs/threads
in the outer loop and events in the inner loop.

Will this structurally invert the output ordering and break backward
compatibility for tools parsing the standard or CSV output?

[Severity: Medium]
The legacy implementation uses should_skip_zero_counter() to suppress
output for zero-valued counters that are disabled, unsupported, or explicitly
hidden. In the new perf_stat__print_cb() engine, this check appears to be
missing before calling cb->print_event().

Could this cause the output to be polluted with zeroes and '<not counted>'
strings once the callbacks are implemented?

New issues:
- [High] The JSON output completely ignores cgroup identification and statistical variance data for events.
- [Low] The state structs contain fields that are initialized but never used by any print callbacks.

Pre-existing issues:

[Severity: Low]
Are the fp field in json_print_state and the evlist field in
json_metric_only_print_state needed? It appears they are initialized in
perf_stat__print_json but never actually read or used by any print callbacks,
which introduces unnecessary dead state.

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but is it possible for evsel->core.threads to
be NULL or id.thread_idx to be out of bounds here? Calling
perf_thread_map__comm without validating the index can lead to a deterministic
segmentation fault.

[Severity: High]
This isn't a bug introduced by this patch, but does perf_thread_map__comm
safely return a non-NULL string in all cases? If the comm string pointer
is NULL, passing it to the %s format specifier in fprintf causes a
segmentation fault on systems using musl libc.

[Severity: High]
Does ignoring the stdev_pct and cgrp parameters result in a regression of the
JSON output parity? The baseline code formatted cgroup and variance into the
JSON output, so marking these as unused here seems to silently drop standard
deviation and cgroup data, which could break automated profiling pipelines.

[Severity: Low]
Are all fields in struct queued_event initialized after allocation? It looks
like ev->is_metricgroup remains uninitialized here.

Similarly, are all fields in struct queued_metric initialized? It appears
b->evsel and b->aggr_idx remain uninitialized here.

[Severity: Low]
Is this scaling logic correct?

It looks like the condition ev->ena < ev->run is inverted, as an event cannot
physically run longer than it was enabled, making this dead code.

Additionally, if the condition were corrected, wouldn't this double-scale the
value, as ev->val is already scaled by perf_counts_values__scale() during
counter processing?

[Severity: High]
Can a corrupted or maliciously crafted perf.data file provide an arbitrary
config->aggr_mode here?

Since perf_event__read_stat_config() directly assigns the value to
stat_config.aggr_mode without validation, indexing aggr_header_lens with
it could lead to an out-of-bounds read or NULL pointer dereference when
processing untrusted input.

[Severity: High]
Could the same out-of-bounds indexing occur here with config->aggr_mode?

Unvalidated indexing into statically sized arrays for interval headers might
trigger a crash if aggr_mode exceeds the array bounds.

I expected this function prints the event info right away.  Why we need
to save it and print later?

Do you really need this?  Why not using evsel__name() and
evsel->cgrp->name directly?

I think the value is already scaled in process_counter_values().

Can you please combine test changes into a commit?  I guess it's ok to
have separate one for std, csv and json.  But I'm seeing this as a
temporary changes and we will remove it once we switch to the new way.
