[ Upstream commit e24c6447ccb7b1a01f9bf0aec94939e6450c0b4d ]

I compiled with AddressSanitizer and I had these memory leaks while I
was using the tep_parse_format function:

    Direct leak of 28 byte(s) in 4 object(s) allocated from:

The token variable in the process_dynamic_array_len function is
allocated in the read_expect_type function, but is not freed before
calling the read_token function.

Free the token variable before calling read_token in order to plug the
leak.

[ Upstream commit 74621d929d944529a5e2878a84f48bfa6fb69a66 ]

Commit c61f13eaa1ee1 ("gcc-plugins: Add structleak for more stack
initialization") added "__attribute__((user))" to the user when
stackleak detector is enabled. This now appears in the field format of
system call trace events for system calls that have user buffers. The
"__attribute__((user))" breaks the parsing in libtraceevent. That needs
to be handled.

[ Upstream commit 27d4d336f2872193e90ee5450559e1699fae0f6d ]

There's several locations that open code realloc and strcat() to append
text to strings. Add an append() function that takes a delimiter and a
string to append to another string.

<title>libtraceevent: Round up in tep_print_event() time precision</title>

<content type='text'>
When testing the output of the old trace-cmd compared to the one that
uses the updated tep_print_event() logic, it was different in that the
time stamp precision in the old format would round up to the nearest
precision, where as the new logic truncates. Bring back the old method
of rounding up.

The tep_register_trace_clock() API is used to instruct the traceevent
library how to print the event time stamps. As event print interface if
redesigned, this API is not needed any more.  The new event print API is
flexible and the user can specify how the time stamps are printed.

<title>libtraceevent, perf tools: Changes in tep_print_event_* APIs</title>

<content type='text'>
Libtraceevent APIs for printing various trace events information are
complicated, there are complex extra parameters. To control the way
event information is printed, the user should call a set of functions in
a specific sequence.

These APIs are reimplemented to provide a more simple interface for
printing event information.

Removed APIs:

 	tep_print_event_task()
	tep_print_event_time()
	tep_print_event_data()
	tep_event_info()
	tep_is_latency_format()
	tep_set_latency_format()
	tep_data_latency_format()
	tep_set_print_raw()

A new API for printing event information is introduced:
   void tep_print_event(struct tep_handle *tep, struct trace_seq *s,
		        struct tep_record *record, const char *fmt, ...);
where "fmt" is a printf-like format string, followed by the event
fields to be printed. Supported fields:
 TEP_PRINT_PID, "%d" - event PID
 TEP_PRINT_CPU, "%d" - event CPU
 TEP_PRINT_COMM, "%s" - event command string
 TEP_PRINT_NAME, "%s" - event name
 TEP_PRINT_LATENCY, "%s" - event latency
 TEP_PRINT_TIME, %d - event time stamp. A divisor and precision
   can be specified as part of this format string:
   "%precision.divisord". Example:
   "%3.1000d" - divide the time by 1000 and print the first 3 digits
   before the dot. Thus, the time stamp "123456000" will be printed as
   "123.456"
 TEP_PRINT_INFO, "%s" - event information.
 TEP_PRINT_INFO_RAW, "%s" - event information, in raw format.

Example:
  tep_print_event(tep, s, record, "%16s-%-5d [%03d] %s %6.1000d %s %s",
		  TEP_PRINT_COMM, TEP_PRINT_PID, TEP_PRINT_CPU,
		  TEP_PRINT_LATENCY, TEP_PRINT_TIME, TEP_PRINT_NAME, TEP_PRINT_INFO);
Output:
	ls-11314 [005] d.h. 185207.366383 function __wake_up

<title>tools lib traceevent: Remove unneeded qsort and uses memmove instead</title>

<content type='text'>
While reading a trace data file that had 100,000s of tasks, the process
took an extremely long time. I profiled it down to add_new_comm(), which
was doing a qsort() call on an array that was pretty much already sorted
(all but the last element. qsort() isn't very efficient when dealing
with mostly sorted arrays, and this definitely showed its issues.

When adding a new task to the task list, instead of using qsort(), do
another bsearch() with a function that will find the element before
where the new task will be inserted in. Then simply shift the rest of
the array, and insert the task where it belongs.

<title>tools lib traceevent: Do not free tep-&gt;cmdlines in add_new_comm() on failure</title>

<content type='text'>
If the re-allocation of tep-&gt;cmdlines succeeds, then the previous
allocation of tep-&gt;cmdlines will be freed. If we later fail in
add_new_comm(), we must not free cmdlines, and also should assign
tep-&gt;cmdlines to the new allocation. Otherwise when freeing tep, the
tep-&gt;cmdlines will be pointing to garbage.

Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main kernel changes were:

   - add support for Intel's "adaptive PEBS v4" - which embedds LBS data
     in PEBS records and can thus batch up and reduce the IRQ (NMI) rate
     significantly - reducing overhead and making call-graph profiling
     less intrusive.

   - add Intel CPU core and uncore support updates for Tremont, Icelake,

   - extend the x86 PMU constraints scheduler with 'constraint ranges'
     to better support Icelake hw constraints,

   - make x86 call-chain support work better with CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y

   - misc other changes

  Tooling changes:

   - updates to the main tools: 'perf record', 'perf trace', 'perf
     stat'

   - updated Intel and S/390 vendor events

   - libtraceevent updates

   - misc other updates and fixes"
