Subject: [PATCH v3 0/2] perf record: fix multi-record Zstd compression
Date: Wed,  8 Jul 2026 13:38:32 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1783513665.git.d@ilvokhin.com> (raw)

Fix a 'perf record -z' regression that aborts recording and writes a perf.data
that cannot be decompressed (see full analysis in patch 2).

v2 -> v3:

- Dropped "perf record: Avoid overrunning the zstd output buffer" and "perf
  record: Don't store raw data on zstd compression failure": both are now fixed
  in perf-tools-next.
- Added "perf record: Return the written size from process_comp_header()", a
  no-functional-change prep patch, so the fix's per-record padding can't
  overrun 'dst'
- Removed blank line from record+zstd_comp_decomp_multi_record.sh between test
  description and license (Namhyung Kim).
- Added missing <string.h> include (Sashiko).
- Rebased onto perf-tools-next (Namhyung Kim).

v1 -> v2:

- Patch 2 ("perf record: Avoid overrunning the zstd output buffer"):
  rework the overly strict output buffer check to pass the remaining dst
  size to process_comp_header() and bail only when a record won't fit
  (Sashiko).

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/cover.1781797544.git.d@ilvokhin.com/
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/all/cover.1782743187.git.d@ilvokhin.com/
