<title>perf header: Fix use of unitialized value warning</title>

[ Upstream commit 20f9781f491360e7459c589705a2e4b1f136bee9 ]

When building our local version of perf with MSAN (Memory Sanitizer) and
running the perf record command, MSAN throws a use of uninitialized
value warning in "tools/perf/util/util.c:333:6".

This warning stems from the "buf" variable being passed into "write".
It originated as the variable "ev" with the type union perf_event*
defined in the "perf_event__synthesize_attr" function in
"tools/perf/util/header.c".

In the "perf_event__synthesize_attr" function they allocate space with a malloc
call using ev, then go on to only assign some of the member variables before
passing "ev" on as a parameter to the "process" function therefore "ev"
contains uninitialized memory. Changing the malloc call to zalloc to initialize
all the members of "ev" which gets rid of the warning.

To reproduce this warning, build perf by running:
make -C tools/perf CLANG=1 CC=clang EXTRA_CFLAGS="-fsanitize=memory\
 -fsanitize-memory-track-origins"

(Additionally, llvm might have to be installed and clang might have to
be specified as the compiler - export CC=/usr/bin/clang)

then running:
tools/perf/perf record -o - ls / | tools/perf/perf --no-pager annotate\
 -i - --stdio

Please see the cover letter for why false positive warnings may be
generated.

<title>perf header: Fix divide by zero error if f_header.attr_size==0</title>

[ Upstream commit 7622236ceb167aa3857395f9bdaf871442aa467e ]

So I have been having lots of trouble with hand-crafted perf.data files
causing segfaults and the like, so I have started fuzzing the perf tool.

First issue found:

If f_header.attr_size is 0 in the perf.data file, then perf will crash
with a divide-by-zero error.

Committer note:

Added a pr_err() to tell the user why the command failed.

[ Upstream commit 9f94c7f947e919c343b30f080285af53d0fa9902 ]

Attempting to profile 1024 or more CPUs with perf causes two errors:

  perf record -a
  [ perf record: Woken up X times to write data ]
  way too many cpu caches..
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote X MB perf.data (X samples) ]

  perf report -C 1024
  Error: failed to set  cpu bitmap
  Requested CPU 1024 too large. Consider raising MAX_NR_CPUS

  Increasing MAX_NR_CPUS from 1024 to 2048 and redefining MAX_CACHES as
  MAX_NR_CPUS * 4 returns normal functionality to perf:

  perf record -a
  [ perf record: Woken up X times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote X MB perf.data (X samples) ]

  perf report -C 1024

commit 5192bde7d98c99f2cd80225649e3c2e7493722f7 upstream.

The strncpy() function may leave the destination string buffer
unterminated, better use strlcpy() that we have a __weak fallback
implementation for systems without it.

This fixes this warning on an Alpine Linux Edge system with gcc 8.2:

  util/header.c: In function 'perf_event__synthesize_event_update_name':
  util/header.c:3625:2: error: 'strncpy' output truncated before terminating nul copying as many bytes from a string as its length [-Werror=stringop-truncation]

[ Upstream commit 1deec1bd96ccd8beb04d2112a6d12fe20505c3a6 ]

When perf processes build-id event, it creates DSOs with the build-id.
But it didn't set the module short name (like '[module-name]') so when
processing a kernel mmap event of the module, it cannot found the DSO as
it only checks the short names.

That leads for perf to create a same DSO without the build-id info and
it'll lookup the system path even if the DSO is already in the build-id
cache.  After kernel was updated, perf cannot find the DSO  and cannot
show symbols in it anymore.

You can see this if you have an old data file (w/ old kernel version):

  $ perf report -i perf.data.old -v |&amp; grep scsi_mod
  build id event received for /lib/modules/3.19.2-1-ARCH/kernel/drivers/scsi/scsi_mod.ko.gz : cafe1ce6ca13a98a5d9ed3425cde249e57a27fc1
  Failed to open /lib/modules/3.19.2-1-ARCH/kernel/drivers/scsi/scsi_mod.ko.gz, continuing without symbols
  ...

The second message didn't show the build-id.  With this patch:

  $ perf report -i perf.data.old -v |&amp; grep scsi_mod
  build id event received for /lib/modules/3.19.2-1-ARCH/kernel/drivers/scsi/scsi_mod.ko.gz: cafe1ce6ca13a98a5d9ed3425cde249e57a27fc1
  /lib/modules/3.19.2-1-ARCH/kernel/drivers/scsi/scsi_mod.ko.gz with build id cafe1ce6ca13a98a5d9ed3425cde249e57a27fc1 not found, continuing without symbols
  ...

Now it shows the build-id but still cannot load the symbol table.  This
is a different problem which will be fixed in the next patch.

commit 7a759cd8e8272ee18922838ee711219c7c796a31 upstream.

With commit: 0a943cb10ce78 (tools build: Add HOSTARCH Makefile variable)
when building for ARCH=x86_64, ARCH=x86_64 is passed to perf instead of
ARCH=x86, so the perf build process searchs header files from
tools/arch/x86_64/include, which doesn't exist.

The following build failure is seen:

  In file included from util/event.c:2:0:
    tools/include/uapi/linux/mman.h:4:27: fatal error: uapi/asm/mman.h: No such file or directory
    compilation terminated.

Fix this issue by using SRCARCH instead of ARCH in perf, just like the
main kernel Makefile and tools/objtool's.

<title>perf header: Fix handling of PERF_EVENT_UPDATE__SCALE</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 8434a2ec13d5c8cb25716950bfbf7c9d7b64628a upstream.

In commit daeecbc0c431 ("perf tools: Add event_update event scale type"), the
handling of PERF_EVENT_UPDATE__SCALE cast struct event_update_event-&gt;data to a
pointer to event_update_event_scale, uses some field from this casted struct
and then ends up falling through to the handling of another event type,
PERF_EVENT_UPDATE__CPUS were it casts that ev-&gt;data to yet another type, oops,
fix it by inserting the missing break.

Noticed when building perf using gcc 7 on Fedora Rawhide:

  util/header.c: In function 'perf_event__process_event_update':
  util/header.c:3207:16: error: this statement may fall through [-Werror=implicit-fallthrough=]
     evsel-&gt;scale = ev_scale-&gt;scale;
     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  util/header.c:3208:2: note: here
    case PERF_EVENT_UPDATE__CPUS:
    ^~~~

This wasn't noticed because probably PERF_EVENT_UPDATE__CPUS comes after
PERF_EVENT_UPDATE__SCALE, so we would just create a bogus evsel-&gt;own_cpus when
processing a PERF_EVENT_UPDATE__SCALE to then leak it and create a new cpu map
with the correct data.

Sukadev reported segfault on releasing perf env's numa data.  It's due
to nr_numa_nodes being set no matter if the numa data gets parsed
properly. The perf_env__exit crash the on releasing non existed data.
