[ Upstream commit 98ce8e4a9dcfb448b30a2d7a16190f4a00382377 ]

Without gcc, the test will fail.

On cleanup, ignore probe removal errors. Otherwise, in case of an error
adding the probe, the temporary directory is not removed.

commit 56cbeacf143530576905623ac72ae0964f3293a6 upstream.

This patch adds a test to validate that 'perf probe' works for binaries
where DWARF info is split into multiple CUs

[ Upstream commit a9cdc1c5e3700a5200e5ca1f90b6958b6483845b ]

Commit 463538a383a2 ("perf tests: Fix test 68 zstd compression for
s390") inadvertently removed the -g flag from all platforms rather than
just s390, because the [[ ]] construct fails in sh. Changing to single
brackets restores testing of call graphs and removes the following error
from the output:

  $ ./perf test -v 85
  85: Zstd perf.data compression/decompression                        :

[ Upstream commit 463538a383a27337cb83ae195e432a839a52d639 ]

Commit 5aa98879efe7 ("s390/cpum_sf: prohibit callchain data collection")
prohibits call graph sampling for hardware events on s390. The
information recorded is out of context and does not match.

On s390 this commit now breaks test case 68 Zstd perf.data
compression/decompression.

Therefore omit call graph sampling on s390 in this test.

[ Upstream commit 2bbc83537614517730e9f2811195004b712de207 ]

This test places a kprobe to function getname_flags() in the kernel
which has the following prototype:

  struct filename *getname_flags(const char __user *filename, int flags, int *empty)

The 'filename' argument points to a filename located in user space memory.

Looking at commit 88903c464321c ("tracing/probe: Add ustring type for
user-space string") the kprobe should indicate that user space memory is
accessed.

Output before:

   [root@m35lp76 perf]# ./perf test 66 67
   66: Use vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames   : FAILED!
   67: Check open filename arg using perf trace + vfs_getname: FAILED!
   [root@m35lp76 perf]#

Output after:

   [root@m35lp76 perf]# ./perf test 66 67
   66: Use vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames   : Ok
   67: Check open filename arg using perf trace + vfs_getname: Ok
   [root@m35lp76 perf]#

Comments from Masami Hiramatsu:

This bug doesn't happen on x86 or other archs on which user address
space and kernel address space is the same. On some arches (ppc64 in
this case?) user address space is partially or completely the same as
kernel address space.

(Yes, they switch the world when running into the kernel) In this case,
we need to use different data access functions for each space.

That is why I introduced the "ustring" type for kprobe events.

As far as I can see, Thomas's patch is sane. Thomas, could you show us
your result on your test environment?

Running 'perf test' with zstd compression linked will hang at the test
'Zstd perf.data compression/decompression' because /dev/random blocks
reads until there is enough entropy. This means that the test will
appear to never complete unless the mouse is continually moved while
running it.

<title>perf test vfs_getname: Disable ~/.perfconfig to get default output</title>

To get the expected output we have to ignore whatever changes the user
has in its ~/.perfconfig file, so set PERF_CONFIG to /dev/null to
achieve that.

Before:

  # egrep 'trace|show_' ~/.perfconfig
  [trace]
  	show_zeros = yes
  	show_duration = no
  	show_timestamp = no
  	show_arg_names = no
  	show_prefix = yes
  # echo $PERF_CONFIG

  # perf test "trace + vfs_getname"
  70: Check open filename arg using perf trace + vfs_getname: FAILED!
  # export PERF_CONFIG=/dev/null
  # perf test "trace + vfs_getname"
  70: Check open filename arg using perf trace + vfs_getname: Ok
  #

After:

  # egrep 'trace|show_' ~/.perfconfig
  [trace]
  	show_zeros = yes
  	show_duration = no
  	show_timestamp = no
  	show_arg_names = no
  	show_prefix = yes
  # echo $PERF_CONFIG

  # perf test "trace + vfs_getname"
  70: Check open filename arg using perf trace + vfs_getname: Ok

'probe libc's inet_pton &amp; backtrace it with ping' testcase sometimes
fails on powerpc because distro ping binary does not have symbol
information and thus it prints "[unknown]" function name in the
backtrace.

Accept "[unknown]" as valid function name for powerpc as well.
