[ Upstream commit 600c787dbf6521d8d07ee717ab7606d5070103ea ]

Based on the following report from Smatch, fix the potential
dereferencing freed memory check.

  tools/perf/util/annotate.c:1125
  disasm_line__parse() error: dereferencing freed memory 'namep'

  tools/perf/util/annotate.c
  1100 static int disasm_line__parse(char *line, const char **namep, char **rawp)
  1101 {
  1102         char tmp, *name = ltrim(line);

  [...]

  1114         *namep = strdup(name);
  1115
  1116         if (*namep == NULL)
  1117                 goto out_free_name;

  [...]

  1124 out_free_name:
  1125         free((void *)namep);
                            ^^^^^
  1126         *namep = NULL;
               ^^^^^^
  1127         return -1;
  1128 }

If strdup() fails to allocate memory space for *namep, we don't need to
free memory with pointer 'namep', which is resident in data structure
disasm_line::ins::name; and *namep is NULL pointer for this failure, so
it's pointless to assign NULL to *namep again.

Committer note:

Freeing namep, which is the address of the first entry of the 'struct
ins' that is the first member of struct disasm_line would in fact free
that disasm_line instance, if it was allocated via malloc/calloc, which,
later, would a dereference of freed memory.

<title>perf report: Fix OOM error in TUI mode on s390</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 8a07aa4e9b7b0222129c07afff81634a884b2866 ]

Debugging a OOM error using the TUI interface revealed this issue
on s390:

[tmricht@m83lp54 perf]$ cat /proc/kallsyms |sort
....
00000001119b7158 B radix_tree_node_cachep
00000001119b8000 B __bss_stop
00000001119b8000 B _end
000003ff80002850 t autofs_mount	[autofs4]
000003ff80002868 t autofs_show_options	[autofs4]
000003ff80002a98 t autofs_evict_inode	[autofs4]
....

There is a huge gap between the last kernel symbol
__bss_stop/_end and the first kernel module symbol
autofs_mount (from autofs4 module).

After reading the kernel symbol table via functions:

 dso__load()
 +--&gt; dso__load_kernel_sym()
      +--&gt; dso__load_kallsyms()
	   +--&gt; __dso_load_kallsyms()
	        +--&gt; symbols__fixup_end()

the symbol __bss_stop has a start address of 1119b8000 and
an end address of 3ff80002850, as can be seen by this debug statement:

  symbols__fixup_end __bss_stop start:0x1119b8000 end:0x3ff80002850

The size of symbol __bss_stop is 0x3fe6e64a850 bytes!
It is the last kernel symbol and fills up the space until
the first kernel module symbol.

This size kills the TUI interface when executing the following
code:

  process_sample_event()
    hist_entry_iter__add()
      hist_iter__report_callback()
        hist_entry__inc_addr_samples()
          symbol__inc_addr_samples(symbol = __bss_stop)
            symbol__cycles_hist()
               annotated_source__alloc_histograms(...,
				                symbol__size(sym),
		                                ...)

This function allocates memory to save sample histograms.
The symbol_size() marco is defined as sym-&gt;end - sym-&gt;start, which
results in above value of 0x3fe6e64a850 bytes and
the call to calloc() in annotated_source__alloc_histograms() fails.

The histgram memory allocation might fail, make this failure
no-fatal and continue processing.

   	=&gt; nr_samples: 1, period: 526008
[tmricht@m83lp54 perf]$

There is no error about failed memory allocation and the TUI interface
shows all entries.

There is a huge gap between the last kernel symbol
__bss_stop/_end and the first kernel module symbol
autofs_mount (from autofs4 module).

After reading the kernel symbol table via functions:

	        +--&gt; symbols__fixup_end()

the symbol __bss_stop has a start address of 1119b8000 and
an end address of 3ff80002850, as can be seen by this debug statement:

  symbols__fixup_end __bss_stop start:0x1119b8000 end:0x3ff80002850

The size of symbol __bss_stop is 0x3fe6e64a850 bytes!
It is the last kernel symbol and fills up the space until
the first kernel module symbol.

This size kills the TUI interface when executing the following
code:

  process_sample_event()
    hist_entry_iter__add()
      hist_iter__report_callback()
        hist_entry__inc_addr_samples()
          symbol__inc_addr_samples(symbol = __bss_stop)
            symbol__cycles_hist()
               annotated_source__alloc_histograms(...,
				                symbol__size(sym),
		                                ...)

This function allocates memory to save sample histograms.
The symbol_size() marco is defined as sym-&gt;end - sym-&gt;start, which

[ Upstream commit 11db1ad4513d6205d2519e1a30ff4cef746e3243 ]

The output of "perf annotate -l --stdio xxx" changed since commit 425859ff0de33
("perf annotate: No need to calculate notes-&gt;start twice") removed notes-&gt;start
assignment in symbol__calc_lines(). It will get failed in
find_address_in_section() from symbol__tty_annotate() subroutine as the
a2l-&gt;addr is wrong. So the annotate summary doesn't report the line number of
source code correctly.

Before fix:

  liwei@euler:~/main_code/hulk_work/hulk/tools/perf$ cat common_while_1.c
  void hotspot_1(void)
  {
	volatile int i;

	for (i = 0; i &lt; 0x10000000; i++);
	for (i = 0; i &lt; 0x10000000; i++);
	for (i = 0; i &lt; 0x10000000; i++);
  }

  int main(void)

	hotspot_1();

	return 0;

[ Upstream commit 11db1ad4513d6205d2519e1a30ff4cef746e3243 ]

The output of "perf annotate -l --stdio xxx" changed since commit 425859ff0de33
("perf annotate: No need to calculate notes-&gt;start twice") removed notes-&gt;start
assignment in symbol__calc_lines(). It will get failed in
find_address_in_section() from symbol__tty_annotate() subroutine as the
a2l-&gt;addr is wrong. So the annotate summary doesn't report the line number of
source code correctly.

Before fix:

  liwei@euler:~/main_code/hulk_work/hulk/tools/perf$ cat common_while_1.c
  void hotspot_1(void)
  {
	volatile int i;

	for (i = 0; i &lt; 0x10000000; i++);
	for (i = 0; i &lt; 0x10000000; i++);
	for (i = 0; i &lt; 0x10000000; i++);
  }

  int main(void)
  {
	hotspot_1();

	return 0;
  }

<title>perf annotate: Fix parsing aarch64 branch instructions after objdump update</title>
<updated>2018-08-30T18:51:54+00:00</updated>
<author>
<name>Kim Phillips</name>
<email>kim.phillips@arm.com</email>

<published>2018-08-27T17:53:40+00:00</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux-stable.git/commit/?id=4e67b2a5df5d3f341776d12ee575e00ca3ef92de'/>
<id>4e67b2a5df5d3f341776d12ee575e00ca3ef92de</id>
<content type='text'>
Starting with binutils 2.28, aarch64 objdump adds comments to the
disassembly output to show the alternative names of a condition code
[1].

It is assumed that commas in objdump comments could occur in other
arches now or in the future, so this fix is arch-independent.

The fix could have been done with arm64 specific jump__parse and
jump__scnprintf functions, but the jump__scnprintf instruction would
have to have its comment character be a literal, since the scnprintf
functions cannot receive a struct arch easily.

This inconvenience also applies to the generic jump__scnprintf, which is
why we add a raw_comment pointer to struct ins_operands, so the __parse
function assigns it to be re-used by its corresponding __scnprintf
function.

Example differences in 'perf annotate --stdio2' output on an aarch64
perf.data file:

BEFORE: → b.cs   ffff200008133d1c &lt;unwind_frame+0x18c&gt;  // b.hs, dffff7ecc47b
AFTER : ↓ b.cs   18c

BEFORE: → b.cc   ffff200008d8d9cc &lt;get_alloc_profile+0x31c&gt;  // b.lo, b.ul, dffff727295b
AFTER : ↓ b.cc   31c

The branch target labels 18c and 31c also now appear in the output:

BEFORE:        add    x26, x29, #0x80
AFTER : 18c:   add    x26, x29, #0x80

BEFORE:        add    x21, x21, #0x8
AFTER : 31c:   add    x21, x21, #0x8

The Fixes: tag below is added so stable branches will get the update; it
doesn't necessarily mean that commit was broken at the time, rather it
didn't withstand the aarch64 objdump update.

Tested no difference in output for sample x86_64, power arch perf.data files.

The patch changes the parsing of:

	callq  *0x8(%rbx)

from:

  0.26 │     → callq  *8

to:

  0.26 │     → callq  *0x8(%rbx)

in this case an address is followed by a register, thus one can't parse
only the address.

Committer testing:

1) run 'perf record sleep 10'
2) before applying the patch, run:

     perf annotate --stdio2 &gt; /tmp/before

3) after applying the patch, run:

     perf annotate --stdio2 &gt; /tmp/after

The patch changes the parsing of:

	callq  *0x8(%rbx)

from:

  0.26 │     → callq  *8

to:

  0.26 │     → callq  *0x8(%rbx)

in this case an address is followed by a register, thus one can't parse
only the address.

Committer testing:

1) run 'perf record sleep 10'
2) before applying the patch, run:

     perf annotate --stdio2 &gt; /tmp/before

3) after applying the patch, run:

     perf annotate --stdio2 &gt; /tmp/after

There's no need to call dso__needs_decompress() twice in the function.

<id>88c211907720f9eb23308401305aefa25392417f</id>
<content type='text'>
Add --percent-type option to set annotation percent type from following
choices:

  global-period, local-period, global-hits, local-hits

Examples:

  $ perf annotate --percent-type period-local --stdio | head -1
   Percent         |      Source code ... es, percent: local period)
  $ perf annotate --percent-type hits-local --stdio | head -1
   Percent         |      Source code ... es, percent: local hits)
  $ perf annotate --percent-type hits-global --stdio | head -1
   Percent         |      Source code ... es, percent: global hits)
  $ perf annotate --percent-type period-global --stdio | head -1
   Percent         |      Source code ... es, percent: global period)

The local/global keywords set if the percentage is computed in the scope
of the function (local) or the whole data (global).

The period/hits keywords set the base the percentage is computed on -
the samples period or the number of samples (hits).

Currently we display the percentages in annotation output based on
number of samples hits. Switching it to period based percentage by
default, because it corresponds more to the time spent on the line.
