[ Upstream commit 966a7509325395c51c5f6d89e7352b0585e4804b ]

Fix the bug in bpf_object__relocate_core() which can lead to finding
invalid matching BPF program when processing CO-RE relocation. IF
matching program is not found, last encountered program will be assumed
to be correct program and thus error detection won't detect the problem.

[ Upstream commit e89d57d938c8fa80c457982154ed6110804814fe ]

During BPF static linking, all the ELF relocations and .BTF.ext
information (including CO-RE relocations) are preserved for __weak
subprograms that were logically overriden by either previous weak
subprogram instance or by corresponding "strong" (non-weak) subprogram.
This is just how native user-space linkers work, nothing new.

But libbpf is over-zealous when processing CO-RE relocation to error out
when CO-RE relocation belonging to such eliminated weak subprogram is
encountered. Instead of erroring out on this expected situation, log
debug-level message and skip the relocation.

<title>libbpf: Fix a bug with checking bpf_probe_read_kernel() support in old kernels</title>

[ Upstream commit d252a4a499a07bec21c65873f605c3a1ef52ffed ]

Background:
Libbpf automatically replaces calls to BPF bpf_probe_read_{kernel,user}
[_str]() helpers with bpf_probe_read[_str](), if libbpf detects that
kernel doesn't support new APIs. Specifically, libbpf invokes the
probe_kern_probe_read_kernel function to load a small eBPF program into
the kernel in which bpf_probe_read_kernel API is invoked and lets the
kernel checks whether the new API is valid. If the loading fails, libbpf
considers the new API invalid and replaces it with the old API.

static int probe_kern_probe_read_kernel(void)
{
	struct bpf_insn insns[] = {
		BPF_MOV64_REG(BPF_REG_1, BPF_REG_10),	/* r1 = r10 (fp) */
		BPF_ALU64_IMM(BPF_ADD, BPF_REG_1, -8),	/* r1 += -8 */
		BPF_MOV64_IMM(BPF_REG_2, 8),		/* r2 = 8 */
		BPF_MOV64_IMM(BPF_REG_3, 0),		/* r3 = 0 */
		BPF_RAW_INSN(BPF_JMP | BPF_CALL, 0, 0, 0, BPF_FUNC_probe_read_kernel),
		BPF_EXIT_INSN(),
	};
	int fd, insn_cnt = ARRAY_SIZE(insns);

	fd = bpf_prog_load(BPF_PROG_TYPE_KPROBE, NULL,
                           "GPL", insns, insn_cnt, NULL);
	return probe_fd(fd);
}

Bug:
On older kernel versions [0], the kernel checks whether the version
number provided in the bpf syscall, matches the LINUX_VERSION_CODE.
If not matched, the bpf syscall fails. eBPF However, the
probe_kern_probe_read_kernel code does not set the kernel version
number provided to the bpf syscall, which causes the loading process
alwasys fails for old versions. It means that libbpf will replace the
new API with the old one even the kernel supports the new one.

Solution:
After a discussion in [1], the solution is using BPF_PROG_TYPE_TRACEPOINT
program type instead of BPF_PROG_TYPE_KPROBE because kernel does not
enfoce version check for tracepoint programs. I test the patch in old
kernels (4.18 and 4.19) and it works well.

<title>perf tools: Fix segfault accessing sample_id xyarray</title>

perf_evsel::sample_id is an xyarray which can cause a segfault when
accessed beyond its size. e.g.

  # perf record -e intel_pt// -C 1 sleep 1
  Segmentation fault (core dumped)
  #

That is happening because a dummy event is opened to capture text poke
events accross all CPUs, however the mmap logic is allocating according
to the number of user_requested_cpus.

In general, perf sometimes uses the evsel cpus to open events, and
sometimes the evlist user_requested_cpus. However, it is not necessary
to determine which case is which because the opened event file
descriptors are also in an xyarray, the size of whch can be used
to correctly allocate the size of the sample_id xyarray, because there
is one ID per file descriptor.

Note, in the affected code path, perf_evsel fd array is subsequently
used to get the file descriptor for the mmap, so it makes sense for the
xyarrays to be the same size there.

<title>perf cpumap: More cpu map reuse by merge.</title>

perf_cpu_map__merge() will reuse one of its arguments if they are equal or
the other argument is NULL.

The arguments could be reused if it is known one set of values is a
subset of the other.

For example, a map of 0-1 and a map of just 0 when merged yields the map
of 0-1.

Currently a new map is created rather than adding a reference count to
the original 0-1 map.

<title>perf evlist: Rename cpus to user_requested_cpus</title>

<id>0df6ade7119daa40904b0c18871169e753663e14</id>
<content type='text'>
evlist contains cpus and all_cpus. all_cpus is the union of the cpu maps
of all evsels.

For non-task targets, cpus is set to be cpus requested from the command
line, defaulting to all online cpus if no cpus are specified.

For an uncore event, all_cpus may be just CPU 0 or every online CPU.

This causes all_cpus to have fewer values than the cpus variable which
is confusing given the 'all' in the name.

To try to make the behavior clearer, rename cpus to user_requested_cpus
and add comments on the two struct variables.

   additional flags to be passed to user-space programs.

 - Fix missing fflush() bugs in Kconfig and fixdep

 - Fix a minor bug in the comment format of the .config file

 - Make kallsyms ignore llvm's local labels, .L*

 - Fix UAPI compile-test for cross-compiling with Clang

 - Extend the LLVM= syntax to support LLVM=&lt;suffix&gt; form for using a
   particular version of LLVm, and LLVM=&lt;prefix&gt; form for using custom
   LLVM in a particular directory path.

 - Clean up Makefiles

   - Add --synth=no option for record, as there is no need to symbolize,
     lock names comes from the tracepoints.

  perf record:

   - Threaded recording, opt-in, via the new --threads command line
     option.

   - Improve AMD IBS (Instruction-Based Sampling) error handling
     messages.

  perf script:

   - Add 'brstackinsnlen' field (use it with -F) for branch stacks.

   - Output branch sample type in 'perf script'.

  perf report:

   - Add "addr_from" and "addr_to" sort dimensions.

   - Print branch stack entry type in 'perf report --dump-raw-trace'

   - Fix symbolization for chrooted workloads.

  Hardware tracing:

  Intel PT:

      "32.2.4

       Event Trace is a capability that exposes details about the
       asynchronous events, when they are generated, and when their
       corresponding software event handler completes execution. These
       include:

        o Interrupts, including NMI and SMI, including the interrupt
          vector when defined.

        o Faults, exceptions including the fault vector.

           - Page faults additionally include the page fault address,
             when in context.

        o Event handler returns, including IRET and RSM.

        o VM exits and VM entries.¹

           - VM exits include the values written to the “exit reason”
             and “exit qualification” VMCS fields. INIT and SIPI events.

        o TSX aborts, including the abort status returned for the RTM
          instructions.

        o Shutdown.

       Additionally, it provides indication of the status of the
       Interrupt Flag (IF), to indicate when interrupts are masked"

  ARM CoreSight:

     spe.

   - Stop using some deprecated libbpf APIs in 'perf trace'.

   - Fix some spelling mistakes.

   - Refactor the maps pointers usage to pave the way for using refcount
     debugging.

     perf was built with libslang.

   - Don't mention --to-ctf in 'perf data --help' when not linking with
     the required library, libbabeltrace.

   - Add --synth=no option for record, as there is no need to symbolize,
     lock names comes from the tracepoints.

  perf record:

   - Threaded recording, opt-in, via the new --threads command line
     option.

   - Improve AMD IBS (Instruction-Based Sampling) error handling
     messages.

  perf script:

   - Add 'brstackinsnlen' field (use it with -F) for branch stacks.

   - Output branch sample type in 'perf script'.

  perf report:

   - Add "addr_from" and "addr_to" sort dimensions.

   - Print branch stack entry type in 'perf report --dump-raw-trace'

   - Fix symbolization for chrooted workloads.

  Hardware tracing:

  Intel PT:

   - Add CFE (Control Flow Event) and EVD (Event Data) packets support.

   - Add MODE.Exec IFLAG bit support.
