[ 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.

[ Upstream commit c5c97cadd7ed13381cb6b4bef5c841a66938d350 ]

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.

  runtime error: store to misaligned address 0x62100006b9bc for type
  '__u64' (aka 'unsigned long long'), which requires 8 byte alignment

[ 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 8a39e8c4d9baf65d88f66d49ac684df381e30055 ]

When compiling with DEBUG=1 on Fedora 32 I'm getting crash for 'perf
test signal':

  Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
  0x0000000000c68548 in __test_function ()

It's caused by the symbol __test_function being in the ".bss" section:

  $ readelf -a ./perf | less
    [Nr] Name              Type             Address           Offset

  $ nm perf | grep __test_function
  0000000000c68548 B __test_function

I guess most of the time we're just lucky the inline asm ended up in the
".text" section, so making it specific explicit with push and pop
section clauses.

[ Upstream commit 6a5f3d94cb69a185b921cb92c39888dc31009acb ]

As there are several discussions for enabling perf breakpoint signal
testing on arm64 platform: arm64 needs to rely on single-step to execute
the breakpointed instruction and then reinstall the breakpoint exception
handler.  But if we hook the breakpoint with a signal, the signal
handler will do the stepping rather than the breakpointed instruction,
this causes infinite loops as below:

         Kernel space              |            Userspace
  ---------------------------------|--------------------------------
                                   |  __test_function() -&gt; hit
				   |                       breakpoint
  breakpoint_handler()             |
    `-&gt; user_enable_single_step()  |
  do_signal()                      |
                                   |  sig_handler() -&gt; Step one
				   |                instruction and
				   |                trap to kernel
  single_step_handler()            |
    `-&gt; reinstall_suspended_bps()  |
                                   |  __test_function() -&gt; hit
				   |     breakpoint again and
				   |     repeat up flow infinitely

As Will Deacon mentioned [1]: "that we require the overflow handler to
do the stepping on arm/arm64, which is relied upon by GDB/ptrace. The
hw_breakpoint code is a complete disaster so my preference would be to
rip out the perf part and just implement something directly in ptrace,
but it's a pretty horrible job".  Though Will commented this on arm
architecture, but the comment also can apply on arm64 architecture.

For complete information, I searched online and found a few years back,
Wang Nan sent one patch 'arm64: Store breakpoint single step state into
pstate' [2]; the patch tried to resolve this issue by avoiding single
stepping in signal handler and defer to enable the signal stepping when
return to __test_function().  The fixing was not merged due to the
concern for missing to handle different usage cases.

Based on the info, the most feasible way is to skip Perf breakpoint
signal testing for arm64 and this could avoid the duplicate
investigation efforts when people see the failure.  This patch skips
this case on arm64 platform, which is same with arm architecture.
