[ 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

<title>perf script python: Remove explicit shebang from tests/attr.c</title>

commit d72eadbc1d2866fc047edd4535ffb0298fe240be upstream.

tests/attr.c invokes attr.py via an explicit invocation of Python
($PYTHON) so there is therefore no need for an explicit shebang.

Also most distros follow pep-0394 which recommends that /usr/bin/python
refer only to v2 and so may not exist on the system (if PYTHON=python3).

[ Upstream commit 937654ce497fb6e977a8c52baee5f7d9616302d9 ]

ASan reports some memory leaks when running:

  # perf test "42: BPF filter"

The first of these leaks is caused by obj_buf never being deallocated in
__test__bpf.

This patch adds the missing free.

commit c25ce589dca10d64dde139ae093abc258a32869c upstream.

Change every shebang which does not need an argument to use /usr/bin/env.
This is needed as not every distro has everything under /usr/bin,
sometimes not even bash.

The ubsan reported the following error.  It was because sample's raw
data missed u32 padding at the end.  So it broke the alignment of the
array after it.

The raw data contains an u32 size prefix so the data size should have
an u32 padding after 8-byte aligned data.

[ 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?

[ Upstream commit 6add129c5d9210ada25217abc130df0b7096ee02 ]

When fail to mmap events in task exit case, it misses to set 'err' to
-1; thus the testing will not report failure for it.

This patch sets 'err' to -1 when fails to mmap events, thus Perf tool
can report correct result.

<title>perf tests: Avoid raising SEGV using an obvious NULL dereference</title>

[ Upstream commit e3e2cf3d5b1fe800b032e14c0fdcd9a6fb20cf3b ]

An optimized build such as:

  make -C tools/perf CLANG=1 CC=clang EXTRA_CFLAGS="-O3

will turn the dereference operation into a ud2 instruction, raising a
SIGILL rather than a SIGSEGV. Use raise(..) for correctness and clarity.

Similar issues were addressed in Numfor Mbiziwo-Tiapo's patch:
