commit 10992af6bf46a2048ad964985a5b77464e5563b1 upstream.

It is necessary to free the memory that we have allocated when error occurs.

<title>tools lib traceevent: Fix missing equality check for strcmp</title>

commit f32c2877bcb068a718bb70094cd59ccc29d4d082 upstream.

There was a missing comparison with 0 when checking if type is "s64" or
"u64". Therefore, the body of the if-statement was entered if "type" was
"u64" or not "s64", which made the first strcmp() redundant since if
type is "u64", it's not "s64".

If type is "s64", the body of the if-statement is not entered but since
the remainder of the function consists of if-statements which will not
be entered if type is "s64", we will just return "val", which is
correct, albeit at the cost of a few more calls to strcmp(), i.e., it
will behave just as if the if-statement was entered.

If type is neither "s64" or "u64", the body of the if-statement will be
entered incorrectly and "val" returned. This means that any type that is
checked after "s64" and "u64" is handled the same way as "s64" and
"u64", i.e., the limiting of "val" to fit in for example "s8" is never
reached.

This was introduced in the kernel tree when the sources were copied from
trace-cmd in commit f7d82350e597 ("tools/events: Add files to create
libtraceevent.a"), and in the trace-cmd repo in 1cdbae6035cei
("Implement typecasting in parser") when the function was introduced,
i.e., it has always behaved the wrong way.

commit 7c5b019e3a638a5a290b0ec020f6ca83d2ec2aaa upstream.

Fix buffer overflow observed when running perf test.

The overflow is when trying to evaluate "1ULL &lt;&lt; (64 - 1)" which is
resulting in -9223372036854775808 which overflows the 20 character
buffer.

If is possible this bug has been reported before but I still don't see
any fix checked in:

<title>tools lib traceevent: Do not reassign parg after collapse_tree()</title>

commit 106b816cb46ebd87408b4ed99a2e16203114daa6 upstream.

At the end of process_filter(), collapse_tree() was changed to update
the parg parameter, but the reassignment after the call wasn't removed.

What happens is that the "current_op" gets modified and freed and parg
is assigned to the new allocated argument. But after the call to
collapse_tree(), parg is assigned again to the just freed "current_op",
and this causes the tool to crash.

The current_op variable must also be assigned to NULL in case of error,
otherwise it will cause it to be free()ed twice.

<title>tools lib traceevent: Fix output of %llu for 64 bit values read on 32 bit machines</title>

commit 32abc2ede536aae52978d6c0a8944eb1df14f460 upstream.

When a long value is read on 32 bit machines for 64 bit output, the
parsing needs to change "%lu" into "%llu", as the value is read
natively.

Unfortunately, if "%llu" is already there, the code will add another "l"
to it and fail to parse it properly.

commit c2e4b24ff848bb180f9b9cd873a38327cd219ad2 upstream.

When a trace recorded on a 32-bit device is processed with a 64-bit
binary, the higher 32-bits of the address need to ignored.

The lack of this results in the output of the 64-bit pointer
value to the trace as the 32-bit address lookup fails in find_printk().

Before:

  burn-1778  [003]   548.600305: bputs:   0xc0046db2s: 2cec5c058d98c

After:

  burn-1778  [003]   548.600305: bputs:   0xc0046db2s: RT throttling activated

The problem occurs in PRINT_FIELD when the field is recognized as a
pointer to a string (of the type const char *)

Heterogeneous architectures cases below can arise and should be handled:

* Traces recorded using 32-bit addresses processed on a 64-bit machine
* Traces recorded using 64-bit addresses processed on a 32-bit machine

<title>tools lib traceevent kbuffer: Remove extra update to data pointer in PADDING</title>

commit c5e691928bf166ac03430e957038b60adba3cf6c upstream.

When a event PADDING is hit (a deleted event that is still in the ring
buffer), translate_data() sets the length of the padding and also updates
the data pointer which is passed back to the caller.

This is unneeded because the caller also updates the data pointer with
the passed back length. translate_data() should not update the pointer,
only set the length.

Coming in v3.16, trace events will be able to save bitmasks in raw
format in the ring buffer and output it with the __get_bitmask() macro.

In order for userspace tools to parse this, it must be able to handle
the __get_bitmask() call and be able to convert the data that's in
the ring buffer into a nice bitmask format. The output is similar to
what the kernel uses to print bitmasks, with a comma separator every
4 bytes (8 characters).

This allows for cpumasks to also be saved efficiently.

The first user is the thermal:thermal_power_limit event which has the
following output:

 thermal_power_limit:  cpus=0000000f freq=1900000 cdev_state=0 power=5252

Add the options "parent" and "indent" to the function plugin.

When parent is set, the output looks like this:

function:             fsnotify_modify &lt;-- vfs_write
function:             zone_statistics &lt;-- get_page_from_freelist
function:                __inc_zone_state &lt;-- zone_statistics
function:                inotify_inode_queue_event &lt;-- fsnotify_modify
function:                fsnotify_parent &lt;-- fsnotify_modify
function:                __inc_zone_state &lt;-- zone_statistics
function:                   __fsnotify_parent &lt;-- fsnotify_parent
function:                   inotify_dentry_parent_queue_event &lt;-- fsnotify_parent
function:             add_to_page_cache_lru &lt;-- do_read_cache_page

When it's not set, it looks like:

function:             fsnotify_modify
function:             zone_statistics
function:                __inc_zone_state
function:                inotify_inode_queue_event
function:                fsnotify_parent
function:                __inc_zone_state
function:                   __fsnotify_parent
function:                   inotify_dentry_parent_queue_event
function:             add_to_page_cache_lru

When the otpion "indent" is not set, it looks like this:

function:             fsnotify_modify &lt;-- vfs_write
function:             zone_statistics &lt;-- get_page_from_freelist
function:             __inc_zone_state &lt;-- zone_statistics
function:             inotify_inode_queue_event &lt;-- fsnotify_modify
function:             fsnotify_parent &lt;-- fsnotify_modify
function:             __inc_zone_state &lt;-- zone_statistics
function:             __fsnotify_parent &lt;-- fsnotify_parent
function:             inotify_dentry_parent_queue_event &lt;-- fsnotify_parent
function:             add_to_page_cache_lru &lt;-- do_read_cache_page

The traceevent plugins allows developers to have their events print out
information that is more advanced than what can be achieved by the
trace event format files.

As these plugins are used on the userspace side of the tracing tools, it
is only logical that the tools should be able to produce different types
of output for the events. The types of events still need to be defined by
the plugins thus we need a way to pass information from the tool to the
plugin to specify what type of information to be shown.

Not only does the information need to be passed by the tool to plugin, but
the plugin also requires a way to notify the tool of what options it can
provide.

This builds the plugin option infrastructure that is taken from trace-cmd
that is used to allow plugins to produce different output based on the
options specified by the tool.
