[ Upstream commit 33bae185f74d49a0d7b1bfaafb8e959efce0f243 ]

Based on the following report from Smatch, fix the potential NULL
pointer dereference check:

  tools/lib/bpf/libbpf.c:3493
  bpf_prog_load_xattr() warn: variable dereferenced before check 'attr'
  (see line 3483)

  3479 int bpf_prog_load_xattr(const struct bpf_prog_load_attr *attr,
  3480                         struct bpf_object **pobj, int *prog_fd)
  3481 {
  3482         struct bpf_object_open_attr open_attr = {
  3483                 .file           = attr-&gt;file,
  3484                 .prog_type      = attr-&gt;prog_type,
                                         ^^^^^^
  3485         };

At the head of function, it directly access 'attr' without checking
if it's NULL pointer. This patch moves the values assignment after
validating 'attr' and 'attr-&gt;file'.

<title>libbpf: fix samples/bpf build failure due to undefined UINT32_MAX</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 32e621e55496a0009f44fe4914cd4a23cade4984 ]

Currently, building bpf samples will cause the following error.

    ./tools/lib/bpf/bpf.h:132:27: error: 'UINT32_MAX' undeclared here (not in a function) ..
     #define BPF_LOG_BUF_SIZE (UINT32_MAX &gt;&gt; 8) /* verifier maximum in kernels &lt;= 5.1 */
                               ^
    ./samples/bpf/bpf_load.h:31:25: note: in expansion of macro 'BPF_LOG_BUF_SIZE'
     extern char bpf_log_buf[BPF_LOG_BUF_SIZE];
                             ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Due to commit 4519efa6f8ea ("libbpf: fix BPF_LOG_BUF_SIZE off-by-one error")
hard-coded size of BPF_LOG_BUF_SIZE has been replaced with UINT32_MAX which is
defined in &lt;stdint.h&gt; header.

Even with this change, bpf selftests are running fine since these are built
with clang and it includes header(-idirafter) from clang/6.0.0/include.
(it has &lt;stdint.h&gt;)

    clang -I. -I./include/uapi -I../../../include/uapi -idirafter /usr/local/include -idirafter /usr/include \
    -idirafter /usr/lib/llvm-6.0/lib/clang/6.0.0/include -idirafter /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu \
    -Wno-compare-distinct-pointer-types -O2 -target bpf -emit-llvm -c progs/test_sysctl_prog.c -o - | \
    llc -march=bpf -mcpu=generic  -filetype=obj -o /linux/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/test_sysctl_prog.o

But bpf samples are compiled with GCC, and it only searches and includes
headers declared at the target file. As '#include &lt;stdint.h&gt;' hasn't been
declared in tools/lib/bpf/bpf.h, it causes build failure of bpf samples.

    gcc -Wp,-MD,./samples/bpf/.sockex3_user.o.d -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wstrict-prototypes \
    -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -std=gnu89 -I./usr/include -I./tools/lib/ -I./tools/testing/selftests/bpf/ \
    -I./tools/  lib/ -I./tools/include -I./tools/perf -c -o ./samples/bpf/sockex3_user.o ./samples/bpf/sockex3_user.c;

This commit add declaration of '#include &lt;stdint.h&gt;' to tools/lib/bpf/bpf.h
to fix this problem.

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

[ Upstream commit f32c2877bcb068a718bb70094cd59ccc29d4d082 ]

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.

[ Upstream commit 7c5b019e3a638a5a290b0ec020f6ca83d2ec2aaa ]

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>libbpf: force fixdep compilation at the start of the build</title>

[ Upstream commit 8e2688876c7f7073d925e1f150e86b8ed3338f52 ]

libbpf targets don't explicitly depend on fixdep target, so when
we do 'make -j$(nproc)', there is a high probability, that some
objects will be built before fixdep binary is available.

Fix this by running sub-make; this makes sure that fixdep dependency
is properly accounted for.

For the same issue in perf, see commit abb26210a395 ("perf tools: Force
fixdep compilation at the start of the build").

[ Upstream commit 23499442c319412aa8e54e7a939e2eb531bdd77d ]

Since commit 88cda1c9da02 ("bpf: libbpf: Provide basic API support
to specify BPF obj name"), libbpf unconditionally sets bpf_attr-&gt;name
for maps. Pre v4.14 kernels don't know about map names and return an
error about unexpected non-zero data. Retry sys_bpf without a map
name to cover older kernels.

v2 changes:

<title>tools lib subcmd: Don't add the kernel sources to the include path</title>

[ Upstream commit ece9804985b57e1ccd83b1fb6288520955a29d51 ]

At some point we decided not to directly include kernel sources files
when building tools/perf/, but when tools/lib/subcmd/ was forked from
tools/perf it somehow ended up adding it via these two lines in its
Makefile:

  CFLAGS += -I$(srctree)/include/uapi
  CFLAGS += -I$(srctree)/include

As $(srctree) points to the kernel sources.

Removing those lines and keeping just:

  CFLAGS += -I$(srctree)/tools/include/

Is enough to build tools/perf and tools/objtool.

This fixes the build when building from the sources in environments such
as the Android NDK crossbuilding from a fedora:26 system:

  subcmd-util.h:11:15: error: expected ',' or ';' before 'void'
   static inline void report(const char *prefix, const char *err, va_list params)
                 ^
  In file included from /git/perf/include/uapi/linux/stddef.h:2:0,
                   from /git/perf/include/uapi/linux/posix_types.h:5,
                   from /opt/android-ndk-r12b/platforms/android-24/arch-arm/usr/include/sys/types.h:36,

                   from run-command.c:2:
  subcmd-util.h:18:17: error: '__no_instrument_function__' attribute applies only to functions

The /opt/android-ndk-r12b/platforms/android-24/arch-arm/usr/include/sys/types.h
file that includes linux/posix_types.h ends up getting the one in the kernel
sources causing the breakage. Fix it.

Test built tools/objtool/ too.
