[ Upstream commit 4787eff3fa88f62fede6ed7afa06477ae6bf984d ]

The tool perf is useful for the performance analysis on the Hygon Dhyana
platform. But right now there is no Hygon support for it to analyze the
KVM guest os data. So add Hygon Dhyana support to it by checking vendor
string to share the code path of AMD.

[ Upstream commit 1c6f709b9f96366cc47af23c05ecec9b8c0c392d ]

Users should never use 'pt=0', but if they do it may give a meaningless
error:

	$ perf record -e intel_pt/pt=0/u uname
	Error:
	The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 22 (Invalid argument) for
	event (intel_pt/pt=0/u).

Fix that by forcing 'pt=1'.

Committer testing:

  # perf record -e intel_pt/pt=0/u uname
  Error:
  The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 22 (Invalid argument) for event (intel_pt/pt=0/u).
  /bin/dmesg | grep -i perf may provide additional information.

  # perf record -e intel_pt/pt=0/u uname
  pt=0 doesn't make sense, forcing pt=1
  Linux

[ Upstream commit fa694160cca6dbba17c57dc7efec5f93feaf8795 ]

This makes sure that the SyS symbols are ignored for any powerpc system,
not just the big endian ones.

<title>perf powerpc: Fix callchain ip filtering</title>

<id>d4aa4e4f77646293ad74d35f28fe4c48bea3ec9e</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit c715fcfda5a08edabaa15508742be926b7ee51db ]

For powerpc64, redundant entries in the callchain are filtered out by
determining the state of the return address and the stack frame using
DWARF debug information.

For making these filtering decisions we must analyze the debug
information for the location corresponding to the program counter value,
i.e. the first entry in the callchain, and not the LR value; otherwise,
perf may filter out either the second or the third entry in the
callchain incorrectly.

This can be observed on a powerpc64le system running Fedora 27 as shown
below.

Case 1 - Attaching a probe at inet_pton+0x8 (binary offset 0x15af28).
         Return address is still in LR and a new stack frame is not yet
         allocated. The LR value, i.e. the second entry, should not be
	 filtered out.

[ Upstream commit c715fcfda5a08edabaa15508742be926b7ee51db ]

For powerpc64, redundant entries in the callchain are filtered out by
determining the state of the return address and the stack frame using
DWARF debug information.

For making these filtering decisions we must analyze the debug
information for the location corresponding to the program counter value,
i.e. the first entry in the callchain, and not the LR value; otherwise,
perf may filter out either the second or the third entry in the
callchain incorrectly.

This can be observed on a powerpc64le system running Fedora 27 as shown
below.

Case 1 - Attaching a probe at inet_pton+0x8 (binary offset 0x15af28).
         Return address is still in LR and a new stack frame is not yet
         allocated. The LR value, i.e. the second entry, should not be
	 filtered out.

[ Upstream commit 9068533e4f470daf2b0f29c71d865990acd8826e ]

For powerpc64, perf will filter out the second entry in the callchain,
i.e. the LR value, if the return address of the function corresponding
to the probed location has already been saved on its caller's stack.

The state of the return address is determined using debug information.
At any point within a function, if the return address is already saved
somewhere, a DWARF expression can tell us about its location. If the
return address in still in LR only, no DWARF expression would exist.

Typically, the instructions in a function's prologue first copy the LR
value to R0 and then pushes R0 on to the stack. If LR has already been
copied to R0 but R0 is yet to be pushed to the stack, we can still get a
DWARF expression that says that the return address is in R0. This is
indicating that getting a DWARF expression for the return address does
not guarantee the fact that it has already been saved on the stack.

This can be observed on a powerpc64le system running Fedora 27 as shown
below.

somewhere, a DWARF expression can tell us about its location. If the
return address in still in LR only, no DWARF expression would exist.

Typically, the instructions in a function's prologue first copy the LR
value to R0 and then pushes R0 on to the stack. If LR has already been
copied to R0 but R0 is yet to be pushed to the stack, we can still get a
DWARF expression that says that the return address is in R0. This is
indicating that getting a DWARF expression for the return address does
not guarantee the fact that it has already been saved on the stack.

This can be observed on a powerpc64le system running Fedora 27 as shown
below.

<title>perf report powerpc: Fix crash if callchain is empty</title>

[ Upstream commit 143c99f6ac6812d23254e80844d6e34be897d3e1 ]

For some cases, the callchain provided by the kernel may be empty. So,
the callchain ip filtering code will cause a crash if we do not check
whether the struct ip_callchain pointer is NULL before accessing any
members.

This can be observed on a powerpc64le system running Fedora 27 as shown
below.

commit cf89813a5b514bff9b3b5e7eaf2090f22fba62e0 upstream.

The while loop was spinning. Fix by removing a semicolon.

The issue was pointed out by gcc-6's -Wmisleading-indentation.

<title>perf intel-pt: Fix occasional decoding errors when tracing system-wide</title>

commit 3d918fb13abdbeca7947578f5d7e426eafad7f5e upstream.

In order to successfully decode Intel PT traces, context switch events
are needed from the moment the trace starts. Currently that is ensured
by using the 'immediate' flag which enables the switch event when it is
opened.

However, since commit 86c2786994bd ("perf intel-pt: Add support for
PERF_RECORD_SWITCH") that might not always happen. When tracing
system-wide the context switch event is added to the tracking event
which was not set as 'immediate'. Change that so it is.

Peter reports that it's possible to trigger a WARN_ON_ONCE() in the
Intel CQM code by combining a hardware event and an Intel CQM
(software) event into a group. Unfortunately, the perf tools are not
able to create this bundle and we need to manually construct a test
case.

For posterity, record Peter's proof of concept test case in tools/perf
so that it presents a model for how we can perform architecture
specific tests, or "arch tests", in perf in the future.

The particular issue triggered in the test case is that when the
counter for the hardware event overflows and triggers a PMI we'll read
both the hardware event and the software event counters.
Unfortunately, for CQM that involves performing an IPI to read the CQM
event counters on all sockets, which in NMI context triggers the
WARN_ON_ONCE().

Peter reports that it's possible to trigger a WARN_ON_ONCE() in the
Intel CQM code by combining a hardware event and an Intel CQM
(software) event into a group. Unfortunately, the perf tools are not
able to create this bundle and we need to manually construct a test
case.

For posterity, record Peter's proof of concept test case in tools/perf
so that it presents a model for how we can perform architecture
specific tests, or "arch tests", in perf in the future.

The particular issue triggered in the test case is that when the
counter for the hardware event overflows and triggers a PMI we'll read
both the hardware event and the software event counters.
Unfortunately, for CQM that involves performing an IPI to read the CQM
event counters on all sockets, which in NMI context triggers the
WARN_ON_ONCE().
