A project like perf, being out there for quite a while, accumulates tech
debt, such being a fact of life for any project.
This being so common, I'd encourage people to try and propose to fix
things not of their liking when trying to build, cross-build, use these
tools.
Being able to at least voice what you dislike, and possibly get some
money out of trying to fix it, out in the open, what an opportunity!
Go and try to fix things!
Thanks Ian for year after year to go and take the SOC opportunity to
improve perf.

The GSoC 2023 wiki for perf is now available:
https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/gsoc/2023-gsoc-perf
GSoC 2023 is trying to further broaden who can participate, and
"newcomers" are eligible. I asked for some clarity on what qualifies
as a newcomer and got the following reply:
"Newcomer" means newcomer in free software coding not newcomer in IT
in general, so people who have only worked in closed-source before or
people who were only managing in open-source but not coding are
eligible.

Ian

If you are looking for ideas on how to write a good proposal, PSF has
a collection of previously accepted proposals:
https://blogs.python-gsoc.org/en/
You can also see the final report of Riccardo Mancini:

I have a proposal about the build without libtraceevent.
Now it disables many perf commands if it doesn't have the
library. But part of sub-commands would work without it.
For example, perf lock contention has two different modes
one is to use tracepoints (using the libtraceevent) and
the other is just use BPF. The latter should work require
anything from the libtraceevent so we can enable such
usecase.
Others like perf sched, kmem and so on might want to run
only record part like in a small embedded machine (without
libtraceevent). Then we can copy the saved data to a host
and run the report or other sub-commands to analyze the
data (again, using libtraceevent).
Thanks,
Namhyung

Please let me know, if anyone is interested. :)
