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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

  Cc: 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

+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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 *
-#

-# 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.

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.

- 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

 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).

-
-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.

 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.

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.

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 .

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 .

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.

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.

The perf_data struct is needed for session supported.

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.

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.

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 .

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 .

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.

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.

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 .

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.

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,

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.

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.

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.

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.

script callbacks as it avoids creating intermediate dictionaries for
all event fields.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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 .

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

v2:

1. Fixed Sorting of Locations: Kept location as an integer in the
   drop_log dictionary keys so that they are sorted numerically rather
   than lexicographically when generating the report.

2. Fixed Interrupt Handling: Moved the call to get_kallsyms_table()
   and print_drop_table() outside the try-except block. This ensures
   that the reporting phase happens exactly once, even if the user
   interrupts the trace with Ctrl-C.

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
    tracepoints.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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:

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.

-# 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,

-# 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

-#
-# +-----------+-----------------+------------------+------------------+
-# | Recording | Accurate decode | Source line dump | Disassembly dump |
-# +-----------+-----------------+------------------+------------------+

-#	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.

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.

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

v2:

 - Fixed strncat buffer overflow: Updated the strncat call in
   find_script() to correctly use the remaining capacity of the
   destination buffer instead of sizeof(path) - 1 . The declaration of
   len was moved to the top of the function to conform to C style
   guidelines.

 - Fixed execvp path searching: If find_script() finds a local file in
   the current directory without a slash, it now prepends ./ to it.
   This ensures that execvp() executed by the child process knows to
   look in the current directory rather than searching the system
   $PATH .

 - Fixed premature loop termination in docstring parsing: Removed a
   check in read_script_info() that caused the loop to terminate early
   if any fallback description was found (like an SPDX
   identifier). This restores the intended behavior of searching the
   entire header for a better "description:" tag.

 - Updated subcommands and usage: Removed "record" and "report" from
   the usage text and stopped passing them as valid subcommands to
   parse_options_subcommand() .

 - Fixed lost command-line options: Reconstructed the arguments passed
   to the standalone script to include -i and the input file path,
   ensuring that the user's choice of input file is not lost.

 - Added error message on execvp failure: Added a pr_err call in the
   child process to print a descriptive error message if execvp()
   fails to launch the script.

 - Fixed uninitialized status in waitpid : Initialized status to 0 and
   verified that waitpid() successfully returned the child's PID
   before evaluating its exit status. Also removed unnecessary braces
   and fixed indentation in that block.

-===================

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

-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
 ----
-# 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).

-	(event_name, cpu, secs, nsecs, pid, comm),
-----
-
-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

-name (the dictionary keys contain the syscall ids, which are passed to
-the Util function syscall_name(), which translates the raw syscall

-----
-
-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

--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,

+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"])

 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>

-  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.

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.

Fix missing #includes found while cleaning the evsel/evlist header
files. Sort the remaining header files for consistency with the rest
of the code.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 .

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.

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.

The perf_data struct is needed for session supported.

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.

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.

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 .

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 .

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.

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.

   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 .

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.

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.

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:

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.

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.

Add a port of the gecko script that uses the perf python module
directly. This approach is significantly faster than using perf script
callbacks as it avoids creating intermediate dictionaries for all
event fields.

v2:

1. Improved Portability: Replaced the non-portable uname -op call with
   platform.system() and platform.machine() , preventing potential
   crashes on non-Linux platforms like macOS or BSD.

2. Robust Fallbacks: Fixed getattr calls for symbol and dso to
   explicitly handle None values, preventing literal "None (in None)"
   strings in the output when resolution fails.

3. Network Security: Bound the HTTP server to 127.0.0.1 (localhost)
   instead of 0.0.0.0 (all interfaces), ensuring the current directory
   is not exposed to the local network.

4. Avoided Port Conflicts: Switched from hardcoded port 8000 to port
   0, allowing the operating system to automatically select an
   available free port.

5. Fixed Race Condition: Moved HTTPServer creation to the main thread,
   ensuring the server is bound and listening before the browser is
   launched to fetch the file.

6. Browser Spec Compliance: Used 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost in the
   generated URL to ensure modern browsers treat the connection as a
   secure origin, avoiding mixed content blocks.

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.

script callbacks as it avoids creating intermediate dictionaries for
all event fields.

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.

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.

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

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.

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 .

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

v2:

1. Fixed Sorting of Locations: Kept location as an integer in the
   drop_log dictionary keys so that they are sorted numerically rather
   than lexicographically when generating the report.

2. Fixed Interrupt Handling: Moved the call to get_kallsyms_table()
   and print_drop_table() outside the try-except block. This ensures
   that the reporting phase happens exactly once, even if the user
   interrupts the trace with Ctrl-C.

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
    tracepoints.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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:
-
-  None

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              |

-# fedora:
-#
-#	$ sudo yum install postgresql postgresql-server qt-postgresql

-#
-# 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

-#
-#		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'
-#

-# 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.

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.

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

v2:

 - Fixed strncat buffer overflow: Updated the strncat call in
   find_script() to correctly use the remaining capacity of the
   destination buffer instead of sizeof(path) - 1 . The declaration of
   len was moved to the top of the function to conform to C style
   guidelines.

 - Fixed execvp path searching: If find_script() finds a local file in
   the current directory without a slash, it now prepends ./ to it.
   This ensures that execvp() executed by the child process knows to
   look in the current directory rather than searching the system
   $PATH .

 - Fixed premature loop termination in docstring parsing: Removed a
   check in read_script_info() that caused the loop to terminate early
   if any fallback description was found (like an SPDX
   identifier). This restores the intended behavior of searching the
   entire header for a better "description:" tag.

 - Updated subcommands and usage: Removed "record" and "report" from
   the usage text and stopped passing them as valid subcommands to
   parse_options_subcommand() .

 - Fixed lost command-line options: Reconstructed the arguments passed
   to the standalone script to include -i and the input file path,
   ensuring that the user's choice of input file is not lost.

 - Added error message on execvp failure: Added a pr_err call in the
   child process to print a descriptive error message if execvp()
   fails to launch the script.

 - Fixed uninitialized status in waitpid : Initialized status to 0 and
   verified that waitpid() successfully returned the child's PID
   before evaluating its exit status. Also removed unnecessary braces
   and fixed indentation in that block.

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

 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.
+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

-----
-
-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):

-    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.

+### 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"])

 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>

-  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.

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.

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 .

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 .

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.

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.

The perf_data struct is needed for session supported.

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.

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.

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 .

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 .

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.

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.

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 .

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.

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.

Sorry I hit a quota limit so I'll wait to send the remaining patches.

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.

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.

   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.
