9dd7c82d46 perf trace: Format fields with hex specifiers in print_fmt as hexadecimal
Currently, when a probe event is added using perf probe --add with a
hexadecimal type cast (e.g., var:x64 and var:x32), the kernel traceprobe
subsystem sets the field type to "u64" in the event's format file, yet
generates a print format specifier of "var=0x%Lx" or "0x%x".

By default, perf trace uses its internal beautifiers which only inspect
field->type and field->flags. Because traceprobe events declare
primitive integer field types ("u64") without a C pointer asterisk
(i.e., "*"), perf trace defaults to printing the field's value as a
decimal unsigned long ("%ld"), ignoring the hexadecimal intent.

Introduce field_has_hex_fmt() to inspect the tracepoint's print_fmt
format string. If a field's print format assignment uses hexadecimal
specifiers (i.e., "=0x", "=%#", or "=%p"), assign SCA_PTR formatting so
perf trace displays the value in hexadecimal by default without
requiring --libtraceevent. For example:

    ❯ sudo ./perf probe --add 'enqueue_task_fair rq=rq:x64 p=p:x64 flags=flags:x32'
    Added new event:
      probe:enqueue_task_fair (on enqueue_task_fair with rq=rq:x64 p=p:x64 flags=flags:x32)

    You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

            perf record -e probe:enqueue_task_fair -aR sleep 1

    ❯ sudo ./perf trace --show-cpu --event probe:enqueue_task_fair --max-event 3
         0.000 [000] :0/0 probe:enqueue_task_fair(rq: 0xffff8ac632233180, p: 0xffff8ac2c1240000, flags: 0x100009)
         0.006 [004] :0/0 probe:enqueue_task_fair(rq: 0xffff8ac632433180, p: 0xffff8ac624cf8000, flags: 0x9)
         0.069 [001] :0/0 probe:enqueue_task_fair(rq: 0xffff8ac6322b3180, p: 0xffff8ac4c4212c40, flags: 0x9)

da85966dfd perf trace: Format instruction pointer fields as hexadecimal
Provide a helper function trace__field_is_ip() in
trace__fprintf_tp_fields() to ensure that tracepoint fields representing
instruction pointers such as "__probe_ip", "caller_ip", and
"call_site" are always formatted as hexadecimal memory addresses rather
than signed integers.

For example, when running a kmem:kfree tracepoint:

    # perf trace --show-cpu --event kmem:kfree --max-event 1

    Before this change, "call_site" was represented as a signed integer:
      0.000 [003] xfce4-terminal/2201 kmem:kfree(call_site: -1714572588, ptr: 0xffff8afee0303000)

    After this change, "call_site" is correctly represented in hexadecimal:
      0.000 [003] xfce4-terminal/2201 kmem:kfree(call_site: 0xffffffff99cf1194, ptr: 0xffff8afee0303000)

This improves the readability of perf trace output by making code
addresses straightforward to parse and map to kernel symbols.

ab74d1fbe0 perf trace: Add --bitmask-list command-line option
Introduce a new '--bitmask-list' command-line option for 'perf trace'.
When this option is specified, the formatting of cpumasks is delegated
to bitmap_scnprintf(), enabling cpumasks to be displayed as a condensed,
human-readable list (e.g., "0,2-5,7") instead of the default hexadecimal
representation. An example is provided below:

❯ sudo ./perf trace --show-cpu --bitmask-list --event ipi:ipi_send_cpumask --max-event 5
     0.000 [000] Xorg/1434 ipi:ipi_send_cpumask(cpumask: 2-3,6, callsite: 0xffffffff9994f8e4, callback: 0xffffffff9994fdd0)

89493fe58c perf trace: Correct default cpumask formatting to hexadecimal
Currently, dynamic non-array fields such as 'cpumask_t' are mishandled in
'perf trace', causing the raw length and offset descriptors to be interpreted
and displayed as a literal integer (e.g., "cpumask: 524320" instead of the
actual mask data).

Correct the parsing of dynamic fields that do not have the
TEP_FIELD_IS_ARRAY flag set by introducing helper functions
format_field__get_raw_data() and format_field__get_cpumask().
Using these helpers, resolve the pointer to the raw bits within the
payload and format the cpumask as a zero-padded hexadecimal string by default.

ab24487aaa perf evlist: Add reference count checking
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.

3b6a78b0a4 perf evsel: Add reference count
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.

d669529868 perf trace: Guard __probe_ip suppression with evsel__is_probe()
trace__fprintf_tp_fields() compares every field name against
"__probe_ip" for all tracepoint events, but this field is only
implicitly added by the Ftrace subsystem to bare dynamic probes.

Add an evsel__is_probe() check before the strcmp so the string
comparison is skipped entirely for non-probe events.

cd355f6dc7 perf trace: Fix noise and signed formatting of __probe_ip in bare dynamic probes
When a dynamic probe is created without explicitly requested arguments
via perf probe --add, the Ftrace subsystem automatically appends
"__probe_ip" to the tracepoint format to record the instruction pointer.

Currently, perf trace prints this implicit field by default.
Furthermore, because the formatting logic defaults to a standard signed
integer representation, the kernel space memory address is erroneously
displayed as a meaningless negative integer.

    ❯ sudo ./perf trace --event probe:proc_sys_open --max-events 1
         0.000 ps/1316543 probe:proc_sys_open(__probe_ip: -1406056956)

This patch addresses the user experience by combining two refinements:
    1. "__probe_ip" is now hidden from the standard output, as its
       presence adds no contextual value for a bare probe.

    2. If the user explicitly requests verbose output (--verbose),
       "__probe_ip" is intercepted and properly formatted as a hexadecimal
       kernel address, restoring its utility for debugging inline
       function hits.

    ❯ sudo ./perf trace --event probe:proc_sys_open --max-events 1
         0.000 ps/1314074 probe:proc_sys_open()

13d5660026 perf env: Refactor perf_env__arch_strerrno
The previous approach maps an architecture string to a function
pointer to a function that takes an int errno value and returns a
string. The new approach takes an e_machine and an errno value and
returns a string.

As the only call site is in builtin-trace.c, the e_machine is already
present and potentially more specific than the perf_env arch string
that is a single global value.

Since the errno-to-name mapping is now generated statically and no
longer depends on libtraceevent, we can remove the HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT
guards entirely, making perf_env__arch_strerrno unconditionally
available.

The major complication in this approach is having the shell script
that generates the C code map a linux directory name to the matching
ELF machine constants. To ensure compatibility with older hosts that
have older glibc versions, output fallback definitions for newer ELF
machine constants (EM_AARCH64, EM_CSKY, EM_LOONGARCH) if they are not
defined in the system <elf.h>.

537609924c perf trace beauty: Make beauty generated C code standalone .o files
Previously, builtin-trace.c directly included 15 embedded C files
(e.g. trace/beauty/mmap.c and fsconfig_arrays.c), which in turn depend
on dozens of generated beauty script arrays. To satisfy these embedded
inclusions, the global Makefile.perf would define all the generator
variables/rules and include them in the prepare umbrella target, choking
parallel build startup.

Furthermore, tools/perf/util/syscalltbl.c included its own generated mapper,
and util/env.c conditionally included arch_errno_names.c inline, splitting
consumers across directories and preventing clean Make encapsulation.

Refactor the framework to achieve better encapsulation:
1. Move util/syscalltbl.[ch] into trace/beauty/ to co-locate with all
   generated code consumers.
2. Create fsconfig.c and flatten embedded beauty .c files to compile as
   independent standalone objects via trace/beauty/Build, exporting their
   formatting functions via beauty.h and env.h. Switch arch_errno_names.o
   and syscalltbl.o assignments directly to perf-util-y and add an
   unconditional top-level recursive kbuild hook (perf-util-y += trace/beauty/)
   to compile them into libperf-util.a, resolving remote linkage for util/env.c,
   util/bpf-trace-summary.c, and standalone python extensions.
3. Bridge private opaque references (struct trace) securely via accessors
   trace__show_zeros() and trace__host(), avoiding header entanglements.
4. Consolidate all generator variables, script paths, and array generation
   rules entirely out of Makefile.perf and place them directly inside the
   exact local Build files where their output objects are compiled
   (trace/beauty/Build and trace/beauty/tracepoints/Build), binding
   prerequisites locally. Use  directly inside
   generator recipes to guarantee dynamic directory creation before script
   redirection, and append  across all rules to print
   clean, standardized GEN ... file.c output during compilation.
5. Clean up clean target to recursively remove the generated directory
   instead of relying on dozens of individual variables.

This unchokes the "prepare" target parallel barrier, allows make to evaluate
generation scripts purely locally where consumed, and flattens the tracepoint
formatting architecture.

Testing a parallel build (make -j28 all from scratch) shows improvements:
  Before:
    real    0m28.689s
    user    2m38.490s
    sys     0m30.148s

  After:
    real    0m27.642s
    user    2m32.356s
    sys     0m26.683s

So reclaiming ~9.6 seconds of raw CPU time and over 1 full second off
overall real-world build latency, by overlapping sub-make startup and
avoiding top-level double-parsing overhead.

a50a9b0d6e perf trace: Don't pass evsel with sample
As struct perf_sample now directly contains its own resolved evsel pointer,
passing the evsel separately is redundant and clutters the interface.

Remove the redundant evsel parameter from trace-specific handlers and
structures, ensuring the tool always directly accesses the evsel bound to the
sample. This simplifies the API signatures and eliminates the risk of passing
an inconsistent evsel.

e445b78ffb perf trace: Introduce --show-cpu option to display cpu id
When tracing system-wide workloads or specific events, it is highly
valuable to know exactly which CPU executed a specific event. Currently,
perf trace output defaults to omitting CPU information.

Introduce a new "--show-cpu" command-line option. When provided, this
flag extracts the CPU from the perf sample and prints it in a "[000]"
format immediately following the timestamp. This mirrors the behaviour of
other tracing tools like ftrace and perf script. For example:

  # perf trace -e sched:sched_switch --max-events 5 --show-cpu
       0.000 [002] :0/0 sched:sched_switch(prev_comm: "swapper/2", prev_prio: 120, next_comm: "rcu_preempt", next_pid: 16 (rcu_preempt), next_prio: 120)
       0.009 [002] rcu_preempt/16 sched:sched_switch(prev_comm: "rcu_preempt", prev_pid: 16 (rcu_preempt), prev_prio: 120, prev_state: 128, next_comm: "swapper/2", next_prio: 120)
       0.033 [002] :0/0 sched:sched_switch(prev_comm: "swapper/2", prev_prio: 120, next_comm: "kworker/u32:48", next_pid: 35840 (kworker/u32:48-), next_prio: 120)
       0.041 [002] kworker/u32:48/35840 sched:sched_switch(prev_comm: "kworker/u32:48", prev_pid: 35840 (kworker/u32:48-), prev_prio: 120, prev_state: 128, next_comm: "swapper/2", next_prio: 120)
       0.045 [002] :0/0 sched:sched_switch(prev_comm: "swapper/2", prev_prio: 120, next_comm: "kworker/u32:48", next_pid: 35840 (kworker/u32:48-), next_prio: 120)

The feature is implemented strictly as an opt-in toggle to prevent
cluttering the standard output and to preserve backwards compatibility
for scripts parsing the default output format.

c006753c3a perf callchain: Refactor callchain option parsing
record_opts__parse_callchain is shared by builtin-record and
builtin-trace, it is declared in callchain.h. Move the declaration to
callchain.c for consistency with the header. In other cases make the
option callback a small static stub that then calls into callchain.c.

Make the no argument '-g' callchain option just a short-cut for
'--call-graph fp' so that there is consistency in how the arguments
are handled. This requires the const char* string to be strdup-ed in
__parse_callchain_report_opt. For consistency also make
parse_callchain_record use strdup and remove some unnecessary
casts. Also, be more explicit about the '-g' behavior if there is a
.perfconfig file setting.

hashmap__new may return an ERR_PTR and previously this would be

hashmap__new can fail is ENOMEM, just use NULL to indicate the
allocation failure and avoid the code having to test for NULL and
IS_ERR.

  print fmt: "fd: 0x%08lx, buf: 0x%08lx (%s), count: 0x%08lx", ((unsigned long)(REC->fd)),
             ((unsigned long)(REC->buf)), __print_dynamic_array(__buf_val, 1),
             ((unsigned long)(REC->count))

We have a different way to handle those arguments and this change
confuses perf trace then make some tests failing.  Fix it by skipping
the new fields that have "__data_loc char[]" type.

Maybe we can switch to this instead of the BPF augmentation later.

b0f4ade163 perf trace: Fix IS_ERR() vs NULL check bug
The alloc_syscall_stats() function always returns an error pointer
(ERR_PTR) on failure.

So replace NULL check with IS_ERR() check after calling
alloc_syscall_stats() function.

Fixes: fc00897c8a ("perf trace: Add --summary-mode option")

003a86bce0 perf trace: Avoid global perf_env with evsel__env
There is no session in perf trace unless in replay mode, so in host
mode no session can be associated with the evlist. If the evsel__env
call fails resort to the host_env that's part of the trace. Remove
errno_to_name as it becomes a called once 1-line function once the
argument is turned into a perf_env, just call perf_env__arch_strerrno
directly.

f6109fb6f5 perf trace: Split BPF skel code to util/bpf_trace_augment.c
And make builtin-trace.c less conditional.  Dummy functions will be
called when BUILD_BPF_SKEL=0 is used.  This makes the builtin-trace.c
slightly smaller and simpler by removing the skeleton and its helpers.

The conditional guard of trace__init_syscalls_bpf_prog_array_maps() is
changed from the HAVE_BPF_SKEL to HAVE_LIBBPF_SUPPORT as it doesn't
have a skeleton in the code directly.  And a dummy function is added so
that it can be called unconditionally.  The function will succeed only
if the both conditions are true.

Do not include trace_augment.h from the BPF code and move the definition
of TRACE_AUG_MAX_BUF to the BPF directly.

sometimes it hides the value because it's 0.  The value of 0 can have a

For example, it can show CREATE_MAP cmd in the bpf syscall.

c7a48ea9b9 perf trace: Always print return value for syscalls returning a pid
The syscalls that were consistently observed were set_robust_list and
rseq. This is because perf cannot find their child process.

This change ensures that the return value is always printed.

Before:
     0.256 ( 0.001 ms): set_robust_list(head: 0x7f09c77dba20, len: 24)                        =
     0.259 ( 0.001 ms): rseq(rseq: 0x7f09c77dc0e0, rseq_len: 32, sig: 1392848979)             =
After:
     0.270 ( 0.002 ms): set_robust_list(head: 0x7f0bb14a6a20, len: 24)                        = 0
     0.273 ( 0.002 ms): rseq(rseq: 0x7f0bb14a70e0, rseq_len: 32, sig: 1392848979)             = 0

Committer notes:

As discussed in the thread in the Link: tag below, these two don't
return a pid, but for syscalls returning one, we need to print the
result and if we manage to find the children in 'perf trace' data
structures, then print its name as well.

bb3de7fa98 perf trace: Fix leaks of 'struct thread' in fprintf_sys_enter()
I've found some leaks from 'perf trace -a'.

It seems there are more leaks but this is what I can find for now.

Fixes: 70351029b5 ("perf thread: Add support for reading the e_machine type for a thread")
