[ Upstream commit 7a92453620d42c3a5fea94a864dc6aa04c262b93 ]

On Intel test case trace+probe_libc_inet_pton.sh succeeds and the
output is:

[root@f27 perf]# ./perf trace --no-syscalls
                  -e probe_libc:inet_pton/max-stack=3/ ping -6 -c 1 ::1

              main (/usr/bin/ping)

The kernel stack unwinder is used, it is specified implicitly
as call-graph=fp (frame pointer).

On s390x only dwarf is available for stack unwinding. It is also
done in user space. This requires different parameter setup
and result checking for s390x and Intel.

This patch adds separate perf trace setup and result checking
for Intel and s390x. On s390x specify this command line to
get a call-graph and handle the different call graph result
checking:

[ Upstream commit eabad8c6856f185f876b54c426c2cc69fe0f0a7d ]

When setting up DWARF callchains on specific events, without using
'record' or 'trace' --call-graph, but instead doing it like:

	perf trace -e cycles/call-graph=dwarf/

The unwind__prepare_access() call in thread__insert_map() when we
process PERF_RECORD_MMAP(2) metadata events were not being performed,
precluding us from using per-event DWARF callchains, handling them just
when we asked for all events to be DWARF, using "--call-graph dwarf".

We do it in the PERF_RECORD_MMAP because we have to look at one of the
executable maps to figure out the executable type (64-bit, 32-bit) of
the DSO laid out in that mmap. Also to look at the architecture where
the perf.data file was recorded.

All this probably should be deferred to when we process a sample for
some thread that has callchains, so that we do this processing only for
the threads with samples, not for all of them.

For now, fix using DWARF on specific events.

[ Upstream commit 996548499df61babae5306544c7daf5fd39db31c ]

Test case 21 (Number of exit events of a simple workload) fails on
s390x. The reason is the invalid sample frequency supplied for this
test. On s390x the minimum sample frequency is much higher (see output
of /proc/service_levels).

Supply a save sample frequency value for s390x to fix this.  The value
will be adjusted by the s390x CPUMF frequency convertion function to a
value well below the sysctl kernel.perf_event_max_sample_rate value.

<title>perf test shell: Fix check open filename arg using 'perf trace' on s390x</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit ccafc38f1c778847ab6d53dd7933260426731cf3 ]

This 'perf test' case fails on s390x. The 'touch' command on s390x uses
the 'openat' system call to open the file named on the command line:

[root@s35lp76 perf]# perf probe -l
  probe:vfs_getname    (on getname_flags:72@fs/namei.c with pathname)
[root@s35lp76 perf]# perf trace -e open touch /tmp/abc
     0.400 ( 0.015 ms): touch/27542 open(filename:
		/usr/lib/locale/locale-archive, flags: CLOEXEC) = 3
[root@s35lp76 perf]#

There is no 'open' system call for file '/tmp/abc'. Instead the 'openat'
system call is used:

[root@s35lp76 perf]# strace touch /tmp/abc
    execve("/usr/bin/touch", ["touch", "/tmp/abc"], 0x3ffd547ec98
			/* 30 vars */) = 0
    [...]
    openat(AT_FDCWD, "/tmp/abc", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_NOCTTY|O_NONBLOCK, 0666) = 3
    [...]

On s390x the 'egrep' command does not find a matching pattern and
returns an error.

Fix this for s390x create a platform dependent command line to enable
the 'perf probe' call to listen to the 'openat' system call and get the
expected output.

<title>perf test attr: Fix python error on empty result</title>

[ Upstream commit 3440fe2790aa3d13530260af6033533b18959aee ]

Commit d78ada4a767 ("perf tests attr: Do not store failed events") does
not create an event file in the /tmp directory when the
perf_open_event() system call failed.

This can lead to a situation where not /tmp/event-xx-yy-zz result file
exists at all (for example on a s390x virtual machine environment) where
no CPUMF hardware is available.

The following command then fails with a python call back chain instead
of printing failure:

  [root@s8360046 perf]# /usr/bin/python2 ./tests/attr.py -d ./tests/attr/ \
      -p ./perf -v -ttest-stat-basic
  running './tests/attr//test-stat-basic'
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "./tests/attr.py", line 379, in &lt;module&gt;
      main()
    File "./tests/attr.py", line 370, in main

      exp_event.diff(res_event)
  UnboundLocalError: local variable 'res_event' referenced before assignment

This patch catches this pitfall and prints an error message instead:

[ Upstream commit 22905582f6dd4bbd0c370fe5732c607452010c04 ]

Command perf test -v 16 (Setup struct perf_event_attr test) always
reports success even if the test case fails.  It works correctly if you
also specify -F (for don't fork).

   root@s35lp76 perf]# ./perf test -v 16
   15: Setup struct perf_event_attr               :
   --- start ---
   running './tests/attr/test-record-no-delay'
   [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
   [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.002 MB /tmp/tmp4E1h7R/perf.data
     (1 samples) ]
   expected task=0, got 1
   expected precise_ip=0, got 3
   expected wakeup_events=1, got 0
   FAILED './tests/attr/test-record-no-delay' - match failure
   test child finished with 0
   ---- end ----
   Setup struct perf_event_attr: Ok

The reason for the wrong error reporting is the return value of the
system() library call. It is called in run_dir() file tests/attr.c and
returns the exit status, in above case 0xff00.

This value is given as parameter to the exit() function which can only
handle values 0-0xff.

The child process terminates with exit value of 0 and the parent does
not detect any error.

This patch corrects the error reporting and prints the correct test
result.

[ Upstream commit 22905582f6dd4bbd0c370fe5732c607452010c04 ]

Command perf test -v 16 (Setup struct perf_event_attr test) always
reports success even if the test case fails.  It works correctly if you
also specify -F (for don't fork).

   root@s35lp76 perf]# ./perf test -v 16
   15: Setup struct perf_event_attr               :
   --- start ---
   running './tests/attr/test-record-no-delay'
   [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
   [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.002 MB /tmp/tmp4E1h7R/perf.data
     (1 samples) ]
   expected task=0, got 1
   expected precise_ip=0, got 3
   expected wakeup_events=1, got 0
   FAILED './tests/attr/test-record-no-delay' - match failure
   test child finished with 0
   ---- end ----
   Setup struct perf_event_attr: Ok

The reason for the wrong error reporting is the return value of the
system() library call. It is called in run_dir() file tests/attr.c and
returns the exit status, in above case 0xff00.

This value is given as parameter to the exit() function which can only
handle values 0-0xff.

The child process terminates with exit value of 0 and the parent does
not detect any error.

This patch corrects the error reporting and prints the correct test
result.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode &amp; Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained &gt;5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if &lt;5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

<title>perf tests: Fix compile when libunwind's unwind.h is available</title>

<id>df90cc41d662ad5f700afc042df43e57ce1ed0a4</id>
<content type='text'>
When cross compiling perf and I want to link against a self-compiled
libunwind, I usually make the custom path where the libunwind headers
exist visible by adding the libunwind prefix to the include path when
compiling perf, i.e.:

~~~~~
$ ls $HOME/projects/compiled/other/include/
libunwind-coredump.h  libunwind.h         libunwind-x86_64.h
libunwind-common.h  libunwind-dynamic.h   libunwind-ptrace.h
unwind.h
$ make EXTRA_CFLAGS="-I$HOME/projects/compiled/other/include/
~~~~~~

Note the `unwind.h` header from libunwind which leads to compile
errors when compiling tests/dwarf-unwind.c, since it shadows perf's
util/unwind.h:

~~~~~

Fix this compile error by specificing an explicit include of perf's
unwind.h in the util folder.

When cross compiling perf and I want to link against a self-compiled
libunwind, I usually make the custom path where the libunwind headers
exist visible by adding the libunwind prefix to the include path when
compiling perf, i.e.:

~~~~~
$ ls $HOME/projects/compiled/other/include/
libunwind-coredump.h  libunwind.h         libunwind-x86_64.h
libunwind-common.h  libunwind-dynamic.h   libunwind-ptrace.h
unwind.h
$ make EXTRA_CFLAGS="-I$HOME/projects/compiled/other/include/
~~~~~~

Note the `unwind.h` header from libunwind which leads to compile
errors when compiling tests/dwarf-unwind.c, since it shadows perf's
util/unwind.h:

~~~~~
