hwmon_pmu__for_each_event() formats description strings via:
len = snprintf(desc_buf, sizeof(desc_buf), "%s in unit %s named %s.", ...);
len += hwmon_pmu__describe_items(hwm, desc_buf + len, sizeof(desc_buf) - len, ...);
If value->label is long enough to cause snprintf() to truncate, it
returns the would-have-been-written count, making len exceed
sizeof(desc_buf). The subsequent sizeof(desc_buf) - len underflows
to a huge size_t value, disabling bounds checking in
hwmon_pmu__describe_items().
The alias_buf snprintf has the same issue. Switch both to scnprintf()
which returns actual bytes written.

Three functions read sysfs files into fixed-size stack buffers using
the full buffer size, then null-terminate at buf[read_len]. If the
read fills the buffer exactly, read_len equals sizeof(buf) and the
null byte writes one past the array, corrupting an adjacent stack
variable.
Fix all three by reading sizeof(buf) - 1 bytes, reserving space for
the null terminator:
- hwmon_pmu__read_events(): buf[128]
- hwmon_pmu__describe_items(): buf[64]
- evsel__hwmon_pmu_read(): buf[32]

thread__set_comm_from_proc() calls procfs__read_str() then strips
the trailing newline via comm[sz - 1] = '\0'. procfs__read_str()
allocates the buffer before reading, so on an empty /proc/pid/comm
(reachable during late exit teardown) it returns success with sz = 0
and an unterminated heap buffer.
The sz - 1 underflow was the original sashiko finding: it writes a
null byte before the allocation. But even with a sz > 0 guard on
the newline strip, the unterminated buffer would still be passed to
thread__set_comm() which calls strlen() — an unbounded heap read.
Fix by treating sz == 0 as failure: free the buffer and return -1.
This is consistent with pmu.c's perf_pmu__parse_scale/unit which
already treat len == 0 from filename__read_str as an error.

dump_insn() tracks remaining buffer space with a 'left' variable,
but the loop subtracts the cumulative offset 'n' each iteration
instead of just the per-iteration delta:
n += snprintf(x->out + n, left, "%02x ", inbuf[i]);
left -= n; /* BUG: n is cumulative, not the delta */
After two iterations left goes massively negative, wrapping to a
huge value when passed as size_t to snprintf(), disabling all bounds
checking for the rest of the loop.
Switch to scnprintf() accumulation using sizeof(x->out) - n as the
remaining space, which is always correct and eliminates the separate
'left' variable entirely.

segfault or leaking heap data.
Additionally, strncpy does not guarantee null termination when the

sysfs__read_build_id() reads ELF note headers from sysfs files. The
note's namesz and descsz fields are used to compute the skip size:
int n = namesz + descsz;
if (n > (int)sizeof(bf))
Both namesz and descsz are size_t from NOTE_ALIGN() of 32-bit note
header fields. Their sum can exceed INT_MAX, overflowing the signed
int n to a negative value. The check n > sizeof(bf) then evaluates
false (negative < positive in signed comparison), and read(fd, bf, n)
reinterprets the negative n as a huge size_t count — the kernel writes
up to MAX_RW_COUNT bytes into the 8192-byte stack buffer.
In practice the overflow is bounded by the sysfs file's actual size,
so a real sysfs notes file won't trigger it organically. But crafted
input (e.g. via a mounted debugfs/sysfs image) could.
Fix by validating namesz and descsz individually against the buffer
size before summing, and change n to size_t to avoid the signed
overflow entirely.

buffer underflow that reads and potentially writes out of bounds.

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.

PE_CONTEXT elements update the context ID and exception level, but the
decoder may still have prior packets cached for frontend processing.
Updating the context immediately in the decoder backend can make those
cached packets get consumed with the wrong thread or EL state.
Add a CS_ETM_CONTEXT packet carrying the TID and EL to the frontend,
this keeps context changes ordered with the rest of the packet stream
and avoids mismatches when synthesizing samples from cached packets.
Separate the memory access function into one for the frontend and one
for decoding. The frontend also needs memory access to attach the
instruction to samples. Because the frontend does memory access for
both previous and current packets, change all the frontend memory access
function signatures to take both a tidq and packet. But backend always
uses the current backend EL and thread from the tidq.
Treat context packets as a boundary for branch sample generation and
remove tidq->prev_packet_thread because it's not possible to branch to a
different thread, so only tracking the current thread is required for
sample generation.

Replace snprintf with scnprintf in buffer offset calculations to
ensure the 'used' count will not exceed the "len".
The current logic in perf_pmu__for_each_event uses an unconditional
+ 1 increment to buf_used to account for null terminators. This can
cause a stack buffer overflow in the subsequent scnprintf call.
When the local stack buffer buf (1024 bytes) is full, buf_used can
reach 1025. This causes the subsequent remaining space calculation
sizeof(buf) - buf_used to underflow.
Use sub_non_neg() to see if space actually existed, and only
increment the offset if remaining space is present.
Changes includes:
- Use sub_non_neg to check if space exists
- Replacing snprintf with scnprintf to ensure the return value
reflects the actual bytes written into the buffer.
- Only increment buf_used by 1 if space exists
- If a parameterized event uses a built-in perf keyword for its
parameter name (eg, config=?), the lexer parses it as a predefined
term token, which sets term->config to NULL. Add check to use
parse_events__term_type_str() if term->config is NULL.

The format_alias() function in util/pmu.c has a check to
detect whether the event has parameterized field ( =? ).
The string alias->terms contains the event and if the event
has user configurable parameter, there will be presence of
sub string "=?" in the alias->terms.
Snippet of code:
/* Paramemterized events have the parameters shown. */
if (strstr(alias->terms, "=?")) {
/* No parameters. */
snprintf(buf, len, "%.*s/%s/", (int)pmu_name_len, pmu->name, alias->name);
if "strstr" contains the substring, it returns a pointer
and hence enters the above check which is not the expected
check. And hence "perf list" doesn't have the parameterized
fields in the result.
Fix this check to use:
if (!strstr(alias->terms, "=?")) {
With this change, perf list shows the events correctly with
the strings showing parameters.
Before the fix:
# ./perf list|grep -w PM_PAU_CYC
hv_24x7/PM_PAU_CYC/ [Kernel PMU event]
With this fix:
# ./perf list|grep -w PM_PAU_CYC

On s390 the Python extension build fails as follows when using a linker

libraries as error by default:
GEN python/perf.cpython-314-s390x-linux-gnu.so
/usr/bin/ld.bfd: error: read-only segment has dynamic relocations
This occurrs because util/llvm-c-helpers.o is erroneously built from
util/llvm-c-helpers.cpp without compiler option -fPIC but linked into
the shared library (via libperf-util.a(perf-util-in.o)).
On s390, object files must be compiled as position-indepedent code (PIC)
in order to be linked into shared libraries. Commit a9a3f1d18a ("perf
s390: Always build with -fPIC") added compiler option -fPIC to CFLAGS
for s390, which is used in C compiles. Add -fPIC to CXXFLAGS for s390
as well, so that it is also used in C++ compiles.

In build_id__snprintf(), also tighten the loop guard from
'offs < bf_size' to 'offs + 1 < bf_size': since scnprintf() returns

would spin doing zero-byte writes once the buffer fills.

timehist_print_idlehist_callchain() calls rb_first_cached() on

via rb_insert_color() on the plain rb_root member — not the cached
variant. This means rb_leftmost is never set, so rb_first_cached()
always returns NULL and the entire callchain summary is silently
dropped from --idle-hist output.
The original code in ba957ebb54 ("perf sched timehist: Show

rb_first(). The bug was introduced when sorted_root was converted to

The original prio != -1 already let all negatives other than -1 through
