commit 67ab5eb71b37b55f7c5522d080a1b42823351776 upstream.

tr-&gt;n_err_log_entries should only be increased if entry allocation
succeeds.

Doing it when it fails won't cause any problems other than wasting an
entry, but should be fixed anyway.

commit e629e7b525a179e29d53463d992bdee759c950fb upstream.

kfree() is missing on an error path to free the memory allocated by
kstrdup():

  p = param = kstrdup(data-&gt;params[i], GFP_KERNEL);

So it is better to free it via kfree(p).

commit dfea08a2116fe327f79d8f4d4b2cf6e0c88be11f upstream.

The 'nmissed' column of the 'kprobe_profile' file for kretprobe is
not showed correctly, kretprobe can be skipped by two reasons,
shortage of kretprobe_instance which is counted by tk-&gt;rp.nmissed,
and kprobe itself is missed by some reason, so to show the sum.

<title>bpf: Remove config check to enable bpf support for branch records</title>

[ Upstream commit db52f57211b4e45f0ebb274e2c877b211dc18591 ]

Branch data available to BPF programs can be very useful to get stack traces
out of userspace application.

Commit fff7b64355ea ("bpf: Add bpf_read_branch_records() helper") added BPF
support to capture branch records in x86. Enable this feature also for other
architectures as well by removing checks specific to x86.

If an architecture doesn't support branch records, bpf_read_branch_records()
still has appropriate checks and it will return an -EINVAL in that scenario.
Based on UAPI helper doc in include/uapi/linux/bpf.h, unsupported architectures
should return -ENOENT in such case. Hence, update the appropriate check to
return -ENOENT instead.

Selftest 'perf_branches' result on power9 machine which has the branch stacks
support:

 - Before this patch:

  [command]# ./test_progs -t perf_branches
   #88/1 perf_branches/perf_branches_hw:FAIL
   #88/2 perf_branches/perf_branches_no_hw:OK
   #88 perf_branches:FAIL
  Summary: 0/1 PASSED, 0 SKIPPED, 1 FAILED

 - After this patch:

  [command]# ./test_progs -t perf_branches
   #88/1 perf_branches/perf_branches_hw:OK
   #88/2 perf_branches/perf_branches_no_hw:OK

  Summary: 1/2 PASSED, 0 SKIPPED, 0 FAILED

Selftest 'perf_branches' result on power9 machine which doesn't have branch
stack report:

osnoise tracer on ppc64le is triggering osnoise_taint() for negative
duration in get_int_safe_duration() called from
trace_sched_switch_callback()-&gt;thread_exit().

The problem though is that the check for a valid trace_percpu_buffer is
incorrect in get_trace_buf(). The check is being done after calculating
the pointer for the current cpu, rather than on the main percpu pointer.
Fix the check to be against trace_percpu_buffer.

The reason is elts-&gt;pages[i] is alloced by get_zeroed_page.
and kmemleak will not scan the area alloced by get_zeroed_page.
The address stored in elts-&gt;pages will be regarded as leaked.

That is, the elts-&gt;pages[i] will have pointers loaded onto it as well, and
without telling kmemleak about it, those pointers will look like memory
without a reference.

To fix this, call kmemleak_alloc to tell kmemleak to scan elts-&gt;pages[i]

commit 450fec13d9170127678f991698ac1a5b05c02e2f upstream.

When comparing two strings for the "onmatch" histogram trigger, fields
that are strings use string comparisons, which do not care about being
signed or not.

Do not fail to match two string fields if one is unsigned char array and
the other is a signed char array.

commit 6cb206508b621a9a0a2c35b60540e399225c8243 upstream.

When pid filtering is activated in an instance, all of the events trace
files for that instance has the PID_FILTER flag set. This determines
whether or not pid filtering needs to be done on the event, otherwise the
event is executed as normal.

If pid filtering is enabled when an event is created (via a dynamic event
or modules), its flag is not updated to reflect the current state, and the
events are not filtered properly.

commit a55f224ff5f238013de8762c4287117e47b86e22 upstream.

If a event is filtered by pid and a trigger that requires processing of
the event to happen is a attached to the event, the discard portion does
not take the pid filtering into account, and the event will then be
recorded when it should not have been.
