Subject: [PATCH v1 00/10] tools/perf: Adopt kernel compiler-context-analysis.h annotations
Date: Tue, 13 Oct 2026 11:24:48 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261013182458.1234616-1-irogers@google.com> (raw)
The perf tool previously added Clang thread-safety annotations in
tools/perf/util/mutex.h (GUARDED_BY, LOCKABLE, EXCLUSIVE_LOCK_FUNCTION,
UNLOCK_FUNCTION, etc.). Since then, the Linux kernel has adopted a
unified set of static context analysis macros and attributes in
include/linux/compiler-context-analysis.h (context_lock_struct,
__guarded_by, __acquires, __releases, __must_hold, etc.).
This series makes tools/include/linux/compiler-context-analysis.h
functional by synchronizing it and the required compiler_types.h helpers
with the kernel headers, converts tools/perf from its custom mutex.h
macros to the kernel-style compiler-context-analysis.h annotations, and
expands context analysis coverage across comm, dso/dsos, thread/threads,
config, intel-tpebs, env, and maps. In the process, it fixes an unlocked
__dsos__add() call in __machine__addnew_vdso(), an unlocked read of
tpebs_reader_thread in tpebs_stop(), and adds a read-lock fast path to
dsos__findnew_id().
Ian Rogers (10):
compiler-context-analysis: Avoid unused parameter warning in
_context_unsafe_alias()
tools headers compiler: Synchronize compiler_types.h with the kernel
sources
tools headers: Synchronize linux/compiler-context-analysis.h with the
kernel sources
perf mutex: Use kernel style compiler-context-analysis.h annotations
perf build: Enable additional Clang thread-safety flags
perf comm: Add __guarded_by annotations to struct comm_strs
perf dso: Fix unlocked __dsos__add() in vdso and expand lock
annotations
perf thread: Expand context analysis annotations to threads and
namespaces_lock
perf config, intel-tpebs, env: Add __guarded_by and __must_hold
annotations
perf maps: Add context analysis annotations
