About PATCH 6, answering Namhyung Kim's v6 review question () about the --sample-cpu default: the data source field is about the memory hierarchy level of the access, it has no record of which CPU issued it, and while the TID is in every sample and in the CTF stream, a thread time-sliced on one CPU or moved between SMT siblings is not told apart by it from cross-core contention, so it is the CPU id that keys it, and it is what the false-sharing detector in pahole needs. The TID is recorded as well. Requires elfutils 0.160 for dwarf_cu_getdwarf(), so the libdw feature test probes for it and Makefile.config says 0.160: older versions now disable dwarf support with that message instead of failing to link. Best regards, - Arnaldo What changed from v2: Only aggregate (struct/union) members are marked as truncated when the MAX_MEMBER_DEPTH limit is reached in the member nesting recursion (patch 4), addressing a sashiko [Medium] review finding (<20260921165704.38DBD1F000FF@smtp.kernel.org>): the v2 check was made before looking at the member's type, so a primitive field that merely landed on the limit, e.g. an int in a struct nested 31 deep, was marked as truncated and logged even though it has no children to expand. The limit still bounds the recursion, as only aggregates are expanded. What changed from v1: Bump MAX_MEMBER_DEPTH from 8 to 32, addressing a review comment from Namhyung. tools/build/feature/test-libdw.c | 13 +- tools/perf/Documentation/perf-mem.txt | 4 + tools/perf/Makefile.config | 2 +- tools/perf/arch/x86/util/mem-events.c | 24 ++++ tools/perf/arch/x86/util/mem-events.h | 2 + tools/perf/arch/x86/util/pmu.c | 10 +- tools/perf/builtin-mem.c | 11 +- tools/perf/tests/shell/test_data_symbol.sh | 6 +- tools/perf/ui/browsers/annotate-data.c | 2 +- tools/perf/util/annotate-data.c | 57 ++++++-- tools/perf/util/annotate-data.h | 3 + tools/perf/util/dwarf-aux.c | 150 ++++++++++++++++++--- tools/perf/util/dwarf-aux.h | 17 +++ tools/perf/util/mem-events.c | 11 +- 14 files changed, 265 insertions(+), 47 deletions(-) v2-head: accb5b700197ce2a base-commit: 29f320d221c1c4c082c7eafb2251fedf8a4868ec --
