The metrics value validation test requires system-wide recording (`-a`),
which can fail on systems without root permissions or where paranoid
levels restrict tracing. Add a check to skip the test if `-a` is not
supported.
Also fix false negatives during validation by updating parse error string
patterns and resolving issues in metric list generation.

Introduce `perf_record_with_retry` and `perf_record_cleanup` in a shared
library `tests/shell/lib/perf_record.sh` to prevent record test failures
caused by transient recording or workload delays.
Update `record.sh`, `record_lbr.sh`, `pipe_test.sh`, `kvm.sh`, and
`stat_all_pfm.sh` to use this robust record retry logic. These tests now
start with very short durations (e.g. 0.01 seconds) and scale up if the
initial recording failed to capture samples, significantly improving test
execution speed on success while remaining resilient to slow systems.

Currently, the noploop and thloop workloads only support sleep durations
in integer seconds because they parse the argument using atoi() and use
alarm() for timer signaling.
To support much shorter execution times in tests (speeding up test suites
and allowing faster retries), change the input parsing to use atof() for
double floating-point seconds. Use ualarm() for fractional durations less
than 1.0 seconds, and fall back to alarm() for durations of 1.0 second or
more.

The parallel test harness uses the carriage return delete escape sequence
`PERF_COLOR_DELETE_LINE` ("\033[A\33[2K\r") to erase and update the
"Running (X active)" progress lines.
However, if a test description is longer than the terminal width, the line
wraps around. When this happens, the cursor up escape sequence `\033[A`
only moves the cursor to the last wrapped row, leaving the top half of the
description printed on the previous line. This leads to name duplication
and output corruption spilling over multiple rows on consoles narrower
than the maximum description length (e.g., 101 columns wide).
Fix this by dynamically querying the terminal width using
`get_term_dimensions` and truncating the printed test descriptions using
the `%-*.*s` printf format. We reserve 35 characters for prefix, status,
and spacing metrics to guarantee the progress line never wraps.

Commit b1c5efbfd9 ("perf parse-events: Remove hard coded legacy hardware
and cache parsing") introduced a bypass to PMU filtering to prevent uncore
PMUs from being filtered out during event parsing, which was required for
resolving `duration_time` and `uncore_freq` when running with `--cputype`.
However, this bypass was active whenever `pmu_filter` was set, which also
incorrectly bypassed filtering for the `--pmu-filter` option.
Introduce a `cputype_filter` boolean flag in `parse_events_state` and
`parse_events_option_args` to distinguish filtering initiated by
`--cputype` from that initiated by `--pmu-filter`. Restrict the core-only
check in `parse_events__filter_pmu()` to when `cputype_filter` is true.

The backtrace was used by sched-switch and sched-wakeup only. No need
to call cat_backtrace() in the process_sample_event(). Let's pass NULL

As it needs a pointer to the 'machine', let's save the session in the
timechart struct and use the host machine of the session instead of
passing the pointer to all handlers. It should be fine to assume the
host machine as timechart command doesn't deal with guest machines and
there's no way to get tracepoints from the guest events.

When busy-poll is active, napi_schedule_prep() returns false in

The device may keep firing irqs until reaches virtqueue_napi_complete().
Under load (received == budget), it will lead to a large number
of spurious interrupts.
Fix it by disabling the callback at the virtnet_poll() entry.
This keeps the callback off while we poll and it is re-enabled by

sctp_free_addr_wq() previously removed addr_wq_timer using timer_delete()
while holding addr_wq_lock. However, timer_delete() does not guarantee that
a currently running timer handler has completed.
This allows a race with sctp_addr_wq_timeout_handler(), where the handler
may still run after addr_waitq has been freed, acquire addr_wq_lock, and
access freed memory, leading to a use-after-free.
Fix this by calling timer_shutdown_sync() before taking addr_wq_lock. This
guarantees that any in-flight timer handler has finished and prevents the
timer from being re-armed during teardown, making subsequent cleanup safe.

We always used 5 sec as the default command timeout. But soon after
it was introduced, David effectively made us ignore the timeout
(it was passed to process.communicate() as the wrong argument).
Gal recently fixed that, but turns out the 5 sec is not enough
for a lot of tests and setups. The fix caused regressions.
In particular running reconfig commands (e.g. XDP attach) on mlx5
with 32 rings and 9k MTU, on a heavily-debug-enabled kernel takes
more than 5 sec. The XDP installation command will time out after
5 sec but since the sleeps in the kernel are non interruptible
the command finishes anyway, leaving the XDP program attached,
but with non-zero exit code. defer()ed cleanups are not installed,
breaking the environment for subsequent tests.
Since "install XDP" is a pretty normal command a "point fix"
does not seem appropriate. 32 rings is a fairly reasonable
config, too, so we should just increase the timeout to 20 sec.
There's no real reason behind the value of 20.

xbc_snprint_cmdline() is meant to be called twice: first with
buf=NULL, size=0 to probe the rendered length, then with a real
buffer to fill it (the standard snprintf() two-pass pattern). The
probe call makes the function compute "buf + size" (NULL + 0) and,
on every iteration, advance "buf += ret" from that NULL base and
pass the result back into snprintf().
Pointer arithmetic on a NULL pointer is undefined behavior. It is
harmless in the in-kernel callers today, but the follow-up patches
run this same code in the userspace tools/bootconfig parser at kernel
build time, where host UBSan / FORTIFY_SOURCE abort the build.
Track a running written length (size_t) instead of mutating @buf, and
only form "buf + len" when @buf is non-NULL. snprintf(NULL, 0, ...)
is itself well defined and returns the would-be length, so the
two-pass "probe then fill" usage returns identical byte counts.

The test case 'perf test aslr' fails on s390. The root cause of the
failure is subtest test_callchain_aslr. This test invokes command
# ./perf record -g -e task-clock:u -o /tmp/perf-test-aslr \
-- perf test -w noploop 3
to generate a call stack using event task-clock:u. On s390 this defaults
to '--call-graph dwarf' whereas on x86_64 this defaults to framepointer
(fp) format. The command
# ./perf inject --aslr -i /tmp/perf-test-aslr
now scans all SAMPLE entries recorded in the perf.data file to convert
possible addresses. This is done in aslr_tool__process_sample() looking
at sample_type bits PERF_SAMPLE_IP, PERF_SAMPLE_TID,
PERF_SAMPLE_TIME, PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD, PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN,
PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_USER and PERF_SAMPLE_STACK_USER.
On s390 the samples do not contain FP entries
of type PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN (the bit is set in sample_type, but the
number of FP entries is 0).
The processing enters the PERF_SAMPLE_STACK_USER portion where the
data is copied to the newly constructed sample and then aborted with
this warning:
/* TODO: can this be less conservative? */
pr_debug("Dropping stack user sample as possible ASLR leak\n");
With command line option '--call-graph dwarf' the new output file
does not contain any samples at all. This leads to a missing $new_addr
value in the shell script and a failure.
Fix this and skip this subtest. Emit a hint that this subtest is
currently unsupported on all platform when option --call-graph dwarf
is selected.
Since one subtest is skipped, the complete test is reported as
skipped.

In redhat perftool testsuite, observed fail for this test:

This led to analysis of "perf sched timehist" summary options.
# perf sched record -a -o ./perf.data -- sleep 0.1
This will record using perf sched record
perf sched timeliest has two options "-s" and "-S"
# perf sched -i ./perf.data timehist -S
-S : Captures summary also at the end
# perf sched -i ./perf.data timehist -s
-s : Captures only summary
The test saves -s result which has only summary and compares with
summary which comes at the end from -S . Since there is a difference
in these two, test fails.
Checking the behaviour change in -S and -s results, difference is:

Here 216753 is pid for sleep which is a zombie process. This is
happening in latest kernel due to an update in "-S" result.
In -S, the process name appears in the results "sleep[216753]",
where as in the -s, only pid is present in the summary result
":216753[216753]".
After commit 39f473f6d0 ("perf sched timehist: decode process names
of processes in zombie state")
for -S option, if process name is using pid, it uses different way to
set it. So that we get the process name and not just Pid.
This change went in only for timehist_print_sample() function.
Add this improvement in generic place so that even -s option (which
captures summary) also will have meaningful information.

The threads and cpus parameters in parse_events and parse_metrics
are parsed with the 'O' format specifier but blindly casted in the
C extension. If a user passes an invalid object type, this leads to
memory corruption when dereferencing the expected struct.
Add runtime PyObject_TypeCheck validations in python.c to safely
raise a TypeError if an invalid object is passed.

The python stubs allow passing None for threads and cpus to the
perf.parse_events() and perf.parse_metrics() bindings. However, PyArg_ParseTuple
parses None into a Py_None object, which is not a NULL pointer.
Because the C code lacked an explicit check for Py_None, it would cast
Py_None to a pyrf_thread_map/pyrf_cpu_map struct pointer and dereference it,
causing a memory corruption crash.
Fix this pre-existing issue by explicitly checking for Py_None alongside NULL
in pyrf__parse_events, pyrf__parse_metrics, and pyrf_evsel__open.

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.

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.
