perf report/top/annotate TUI:
- Accept the left arrow key as a Zoom out if done on the first column.
- Show if source code toggle status in title, to help spotting bugs with
the various disassemblers (capstone, llvm, objdump).
- Provide feedback on unhandled hotkeys.
Build:
- Better inform when certain features are not available with warnings in the
build process and in 'perf version --build-options' or 'perf -vv'.
perf record:
- Improve the --off-cpu code by synthesizing events for switch-out -> switch-in
intervals using a BPF program. This can be fine tuned using a --off-cpu-thresh
knob.
perf report:
- Add 'tgid' sort key.
perf mem/c2c:
- Add 'op', 'cache', 'snoop', 'dtlb' output fields.
- Add support for 'ldlat' on AMD IBS (Instruction Based Sampling).
perf ftrace:
- Use process/session specific trace settings instead of messing with
the global ftrace knobs.
perf trace:
- Implement syscall summary in BPF.
- Support --summary-mode=cgroup.
- Always print return value for syscalls returning a pid.
- The rseq and set_robust_list don't return a pid, just -errno.
perf lock contention:
- Symbolize zone->lock using BTF.
- Add -J/--inject-delay option to estimate impact on application performance by
optimization of kernel locking behavior.
perf stat:
- Improve hybrid support for the NMI watchdog warning.
Symbol resolution:
- Handle 'u' and 'l' symbols in /proc/kallsyms, resolving some Rust symbols.
- Improve Rust demangler.
Hardware tracing:
Intel PT:
- Fix PEBS-via-PT data_src.
- Do not default to recording all switch events.
- Fix pattern matching with python3 on the SQL viewer script.
arm64:
- Fixups for the hip08 hha PMU.
Vendor events:
- Update Intel events/metrics files for alderlake, alderlaken, arrowlake,
bonnell, broadwell, broadwellde, broadwellx, cascadelakex, clearwaterforest,
elkhartlake, emeraldrapids, grandridge, graniterapids, haswell, haswellx,
icelake, icelakex, ivybridge, ivytown, jaketown, lunarlake, meteorlake,
nehalemep, nehalemex, rocketlake, sandybridge, sapphirerapids, sierraforest,
skylake, skylakex, snowridgex, tigerlake, westmereep-dp, westmereep-sp,
westmereep-sx.
python support:
- Add support for event counts in the python binding, add a counting.py example.
perf list:
- Display the PMU name associated with a perf metric in JSON.
perf test:
- Hybrid improvements for metric value validation test.
- Fix LBR test by ignoring idle task.
- Add AMD IBS sw filter ana d'ldlat' tests.
- Add 'perf trace --summary-mode=cgroup' test.
- Add tests for the various language symbol demanglers.
Miscellaneous.
- Allow specifying the cpu an event will be tied using '-e event/cpu=N/'.
- Sync various headers with the kernel sources.
- Add annotations to use clang's -Wthread-safety and fix some problems
it detected.
- Make dump_stack() use perf's symbol resolution to provide better backtraces.
- Intel TPEBS support cleanups and fixes. TPEBS stands for Timed PEBS
(Precision Event-Based Sampling), that adds timing info, the retirement
latency of instructions.
- Various memory allocation (some detected by ASAN) and reference counting
fixes.
- Add a 8-byte aligned PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED2 to replace PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED.
- Skip unsupported event types in perf.data files, don't stop when finding one.
- Improve lookups using hashmaps and binary searches.
