machine__init() always returns 0 even when memory allocation fails,
because commit 81f981d7ec ("perf machine: Free root_dir in
machine__init() error path") introduced 'int err = -ENOMEM' and an
error cleanup path but left the final 'return 0' instead of
'return err'.
Fix by returning err, check the return value in __machine__new_host()
which was ignoring it, and change machines__init() from void to int so
it too can propagate the error to perf_session__new(), aslr_tool__init()
and test callers.
The error cleanup also used zfree(&machine->kmaps), but kmaps is a
refcounted maps structure — use maps__zput() to properly drop the
reference, matching machine__exit().
Move dsos__init() and threads__init() before the first fallible
allocation (maps__new) so that machine__exit() is safe to call on
any machine struct that machine__init() touched, even on early failure.

Add a new shell test to verify the feature. The test covers:
- Basic address remapping for user space samples.
- Pipe mode coverage for piped into.
- Callchain address remapping.
- Consistency of output before and after injection.
- Pipe mode report consistency.
- Dropping of samples that leak ASLR info (physical addresses).
- Kernel address remapping (utilizing a dedicated kernel-intensive VFS
dd workload to guarantee continuous timer interrupts sampling flow
inside kernel privilege states).
- Kernel report consistency with address normalization.
The test suite is hardened with global 'set -o pipefail' assertions
to catch pipeline failures, stream-consuming awk processors to handle
SIGPIPE signals, and a dedicated pipe output scenario validating raw
'perf inject -o -' stdout streams.
Note on kernel DSO normalization in the test script:
The test script deliberately normalizes all kernel DSOs to a generic
[kernel] tag before diffing, as obfuscating physical kernel addresses
forces perf report to occasionally shift samples between individual
modules and [kernel.kallsyms] due to the lack of valid host module
boundary maps.
Note on ARM:
Kernel-based ASLR test cases (test_kernel_aslr and test_kernel_report_aslr)
are skipped on ARM architectures (aarch64 and arm*) to bypass high latency
constraints (such as check_invariants() spending excessive execution time
in maps__split_kallsyms() on debug builds) and symbolization inconsistencies.

When test descriptions are extremely long (e.g., the truncated perf.data
graceful handling test is 103 characters long), they wrap across terminal
boundaries.
Because the ANSI escape code to delete the line (PERF_COLOR_DELETE_LINE)
only clears a single terminal line, visual wrapping leaves orphan
wrapped lines on the screen, which results in the test description being
printed multiple times.
Resolve this by checking the terminal width (get_term_dimensions) and
dynamically truncating the printed test description to fit within the
available columns, leaving safety space for the prefix index and status
suffix.
Also, remove the width padding from the test suite headers which do not
display inline status messages. This prevents their trailing colons from
wrapping onto new lines on standard width terminals.
Finally, avoid GCC 16's -Wformat-truncation warnings by delegating the
description padding to pr_info's %-*s format specifier instead of padding
within a temporary buffer, and clamp the truncation limit to the temporary
buffer's size.
JUnit XML output and the failure summary report still print the full,
untruncated test descriptions.

filename__decompress() has an early return path for files that are not
actually compressed. This path returns the fd from open() directly but
never writes to the pathname output parameter, leaving the caller with
an uninitialized buffer despite a successful return.
Callers like dso__decompress_kmodule_path() pass pathname to
decompress_kmodule() which uses it to set the decompressed file path.
If pathname is uninitialized, subsequent operations on the path produce
undefined behavior.
Fix by setting pathname to an empty string on the uncompressed path.
Callers already check for an empty pathname to distinguish temporary
decompressed files (which need unlink) from the original file.

It's not obvious what this test is for so remove it. It's not a stress
test because it doesn't output lots of data and it's not a functional
test because it only looks for raw trace output. It seems to imply that
a program written in assembly influences whether trace would be
generated by the CPU or not, but the CPU doesn't know what language the
program is written in.
We already have lots of Coresight tests that test the full pipeline
including decoding, and in many more modes of operation than this one,
so if no trace was collected they will already fail leaving this one
redundant.

now we test that decoding always gives the same result for the same

The 1.x branch of Babeltrace has been superseded by 2.x in 2020 and has
been unmaintained since 2022, efforts have started to remove it from
popular distributions.
Babeltrace 2.x offers a very similar 'ctf-writer' library that can be used
with minimal changes for the '--to-ctf' feature and has been packaged
since Debian 11 and Fedora 32.
This patch replaces the 'libbabeltrace' build feature with
'babeltrace2-ctf-writer' using pkgconfig detection, adjusts the naming of
the public headers and applies minor API cleanups.
There is no changes to the output ctf traces, the ctf-writer API still
implements version 1.8 of the CTF specification that can be read by
either Babeltrace 1 / 2 or any CTF compliant reader.
Also remove some ifdefs in the cli option parsing to allow printing the
helpful error message with '--to-ctf' when built without babeltrace2.

The -L/--lock-filter option is to specify target locks by name or

In test_intel_pt.sh, the test script compiled two external C programs at
runtime using /usr/bin/cc (a thread loop workload and a JIT self-
modifying workload). Relying on external C compilers inside shell tests
frequently causes failures in continuous integration environments.
Create a built-in 'jitdump' workload and switch test_intel_pt.sh to use
'perf test -w thloop' and 'perf test -w jitdump'. Also add multi-
architecture compatibility without external C compiler dependencies, the
workload instruction arrays dynamically encode CHK_BYTE into opcodes
across x86, ARM32, ARM64, RISC-V, PowerPC, MIPS, LoongArch, and s390x.

Add a -j/--junit command line option to generate standard JUnit XML
format test reports. The generated file defaults to 'test.xml' if no
filename is specified, but allows users to override the path (e.g.
-jmytest.xml).
The XML report captures individual test suite and subtest execution
latency, alongside XML-escaped failure logs and skip reasons, while
preserving the full multi-process concurrency speed of parallel test
execution.

When extracting shell test descriptions in tests-scripts.c, the parser
skipped the first line assuming it was the shebang (#!/bin/sh) and then
read the first comment line on line 2 as the test description.
However, checkpatch.pl expects shell scripts to declare their SPDX
license identifier on line 2 (# SPDX-License-Identifier: ...). This
caused the test harness to extract the SPDX license string as the test
description.
Refactor shell_test__description to use io__getline, skipping both
shebang and SPDX comment lines. This allows shell tests to include
standard SPDX headers without breaking test suite description
extraction.

When running perf test, the status column (: Ok) became misaligned when
subtest indexes reached 2 or 3 digits (e.g. 9.100 vs 9.9 vs 10.1). This
occurred because the subtest description field width (subw) was
statically fixed to width - 2, assuming all subtest index prefixes were
exactly 7 characters wide.
Dynamically calculate subw based on the exact character length of the
test suite and subtest index prefix. This ensures the status column is
perfectly aligned vertically across all test outputs regardless of
subtest index digit count.

Currently, when running test suites (perf test), users must scroll
through hundreds of lines of console output to manually tally the number
of passed, skipped, or failed test cases.
Introduce an automated, global execution summary printed at the absolute
tail of the test run:
1. Track counts mid-flight inside the print_test_result() accumulator,
clearly separating pass counts into standalone main tests vs.
individual subtests (where num_test_cases > 1).
2. Accumulate the precise descriptions of all failed test cases
directly into a global string buffer, formatted with their suite
indices (e.g., 3.1: Parse event definition strings) for effortless
cross-referencing.
3. Define a summary printer function print_tests_summary() that
emits a colored outline of the final pass, skip, and fail totals,
followed by the explicit list of failed tests.
4. Invoke the summary printer right before freeing the test array at
the absolute tail of __cmd_test(), guaranteeing that the summary is
successfully printed even if an internal emergency signal cleanup
occurs or if the user interrupts the run early.
Example output:
```
$ sudo perf test -v
1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms : Skip
2: Detect openat syscall event : Ok
3: Detect openat syscall event on all cpus : Ok
...
163: perf trace summary : Ok

Currently, when running tests in verbose mode (-v), if a test case
fails, the entire raw standard error buffer is dumped to stderr via
fprintf(stderr, "%s", child->err_output.buf). For tests that generate
massive amounts of debugging or logging output before dying, this
results in multi-page terminal dumps where highly critical diagnostic
keywords (error, fail, segv) are easily lost.
Implement a smart, bounded snippet string processor to improve
failure triaging:
1. Introduce a configurable quota limit static unsigned int
failure_snippet_lines = 10; accessible via a new command-line option
--failure-snippet-lines <N>.
2. Parse the raw error buffer dynamically into lines and run a
three-pass extraction algorithm:
- Pass 0: Always select the very first line of the log as an initial
outline marker.
- Pass 1: Scan forward from the top of the log to pick up to N lines
that contain case-insensitive failure keywords (error, fail,
segv, abort) to isolate the root cause. Automatically pull in
the immediate subsequent line as highly-prioritized context.
Allow adjacent matching lines to overlap without dropping context
by evaluating keywords for all lines (e.g. when "Failed to
report" is followed by "Error:").
- Pass 2: If quota remains, scan backward from the absolute tail of
the log to capture trailing crash or abort context.
3. Output the selected lines in their original chronological order,
inserting a clear ... separator between non-contiguous line jumps.
4. Wrap matched failure keywords dynamically in bold red
(PERF_COLOR_RED) to immediately draw the eye to failures.
5. Invoke the smart processor purely when verbose == 1 && ret ==
TEST_FAIL in both finish_test and finish_tests_parallel, leaving
raw full-output dumping completely untouched when running highly
verbose (-vv).

When running tests in parallel with verbose output (-v), child processes
write to pipes. If a test produces significant output (e.g. Granite
Rapids metric parsing printing hundreds of lines), it fills the 64KB
pipe buffer and blocks.
Previously, the parent harness (finish_test) only polled the pipe of the
current test waiting to be printed. Other children blocked indefinitely
until the parent reached them, severely sequentializing execution.
Address this by implementing finish_tests_parallel() to poll and drain
output pipes from all running children simultaneously into per-child
buffers, employing safe strbuf_addstr string operations alongside
thorough variable orderings for strict ISO C90 compliance. Reaping
occurs out of order as children finish, while final result printing
remains strictly in order.
This drops parallel verbose execution time for the PMU events suite from
~35 seconds down to ~5.9 seconds.

of flags in the symbol. Add accessors to simplify this.

include both the file offset (e.g. "at offset 0x2738:") and the
event type name with numeric id (e.g. "MMAP2 (10)").

Opening an SPE event shows a warning that doesn't concern the user:
$ perf record -e arm_spe
Unknown/empty format name: discard
Perf only wants to know if the discard bit is set for configuring the
event, not in response to anything the user has done. Fix it by adding
another helper that returns if a config bit exists without warning.
We should probably keep the warning in evsel__get_config_val() to avoid
having every caller having to do it, and most format bits should never
be missing.
Add a test for the new helper. Rename the parent test function to be
more generic rather than adding a new one as it requires a lot of
boilerplate.

Since the leafloop test program was moved into the main Perf binary as a
workload, it inherited the same compiler options as Perf. In this case
the -fstack-protector option broke the assumption that simple leaf
frames don't have a stack frame on Arm. This causes
test_arm_callgraph_fp.sh to pass even if the stack isn't augmented with
the link register, making the test useless.
Fix it by rewriting the leaf function in assembly seeing as it's so
simple. Adding -fno-stack-protector would also work, but wouldn't be
robust against other future compiler option additions.
The local variables and 'a' variable were never needed so remove them to
simplify.

Add a shell test that verifies perf report handles truncated perf.data
files gracefully — exiting with an error code rather than crashing with
SIGSEGV or SIGABRT.
The test records a simple workload, then truncates the resulting
perf.data at four offsets that exercise different parsing stages:
8 bytes — file header magic only
64 bytes — partial file header (attr section incomplete)
256 bytes — into the first events (partial event headers)
75% size — mid-stream truncation (partial event data)
For each truncation, perf report is run and the exit code is checked:
- Exit code 0 (success) fails the test — a truncated file should
never parse without error.
- Crash signals are detected portably via kill -l, which maps the
signal number to a name on the running system. This handles
architectures where signal numbers differ (e.g. SIGBUS is 7 on
x86/ARM but 10 on MIPS/SPARC). Core-dump and fatal signals
(KILL, ILL, ABRT, BUS, FPE, SEGV, TRAP, SYS) fail the test.
- Higher exit codes (200+) are perf's own negative-errno returns
(e.g. -EINVAL = 234) and are expected.
This exercises the bounds checking, minimum-size validation, and error
propagation added by the preceding patches in this series.
Testing it:
root@number:~# perf test truncat
84: Test that perf report handles truncated perf.data gracefully (no crash, no segfault — clean error exit).: Ok

Harden PERF_RECORD_HEADER_ATTR handling against crafted perf.data:
- Validate attr.size: must be >= PERF_ATTR_SIZE_VER0, a multiple
of sizeof(u64), and fit within the event payload.
- Copy only min(attr.size, sizeof(struct perf_event_attr)) bytes
into a local attr, zeroing the rest so legacy files don't leak
adjacent event data into new fields.
- Keep the original attr.size so perf_event__synthesize_attr()
uses it for both allocation and ID-array placement.
Fix perf_event__synthesize_attr() to use attr->size (not the
compiled sizeof) for event allocation and layout, so perf inject
correctly re-synthesizes attrs from files recorded by a different
perf version. Without this, the ID array destination pointer
(computed via perf_record_header_attr_id()) would be inconsistent
with the allocation when attr->size differs from sizeof.
Also fix the parse-no-sample-id-all test to set attr.size, which
is now validated, and improve error handling in read_attr() for
short reads and invalid attr sizes.
Handle ABI0 pipe/inject events where attr.size is 0: use a local
attr_size variable set to PERF_ATTR_SIZE_VER0 for both the bounded
copy and ID array position, instead of writing back to the event.
Native-endian files may be MAP_SHARED (read-only mmap), so writing
to the event buffer would SIGSEGV. The swap path handles ABI0 in
perf_event__attr_swap() which writes to the MAP_PRIVATE copy.
header.size alignment is now validated centrally in
perf_session__process_event() (see "Add minimum event size and
alignment validation").

verifies that `duration_time` is ~1s (excluding the 1s delay), not
~2s.

IBS on pre-Zen6 platforms lacked a hardware privilege filter, so the
kernel enabled swfilt=1. Zen6 and newer platforms provides privilege
filtering via the RIP[63] bit, making swfilt redundant. Skip the perf
unit test that assumes IBS has no hardware-assisted privilege filter
on Zen6 and newer platforms.
swfilt is ignored by kernel on platforms that support RIP[63] bit filter
i.e. all amd-ibs-swfilt.sh tests will test hardware assisted privilege
filter.
Without the patch on Zen6:
# sudo ./perf test -vv 77
77: AMD IBS software filtering:
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 30813
check availability of IBS swfilt
run perf record with modifier and swfilt
[FAIL] IBS PMU should not accept exclude_kernel
---- end(-1) ----
77: AMD IBS software filtering : FAILED!
With the patch:
# ./perf test -vv 77

Add a test for uncore event sorting matching multiple PMUs.
Uncore PMUs may have a common prefix, like the PMUs
uncore_imc_free_running_0 and uncore_imc_free_running_1 have a prefix of
uncore_imc_free_running.
Parsing an event group like "{data_read,data_write}" for those PMUs
should result with two groups:
"{uncore_imc_free_running_0/data_read/,uncore_imc_free_running_0/data_write/},
{uncore_imc_free_running_1/data_read/,uncore_imc_free_running_1/data_write/}"
which means the evsels need resorting as when initially parsed the
evsels are ordered with mixed PMUs:
"{uncore_imc_free_running_0/data_read/,uncore_imc_free_running_1/data_read/,
uncore_imc_free_running_0/data_write/,uncore_imc_free_running_1/data_write/}".
