[ Upstream commit 59a17706915fe5ea6f711e1f92d4fb706bce07fe ]

When perf is built with the annobin plugin (RHEL8 build) extra symbols
are added to its binary:

  # nm perf | grep annobin | head -10
  0000000000241100 t .annobin_annotate.c
  0000000000326490 t .annobin_annotate.c
  0000000000249255 t .annobin_annotate.c_end
  00000000003283a8 t .annobin_annotate.c_end
  00000000001bce18 t .annobin_annotate.c_end.hot
  00000000001bce18 t .annobin_annotate.c_end.hot
  00000000001bc3e2 t .annobin_annotate.c_end.unlikely
  00000000001bc400 t .annobin_annotate.c_end.unlikely
  00000000001bce18 t .annobin_annotate.c.hot
  00000000001bce18 t .annobin_annotate.c.hot
  ...

Those symbols have no use for report or annotation and should be
skipped.  Moreover they interfere with the DWARF unwind test on the PPC
arch, where they are mixed with checked symbols and then the test fails:

  # perf test dwarf -v
  59: Test dwarf unwind                                     :
  --- start ---
  test child forked, pid 8515
  unwind: .annobin_dwarf_unwind.c:ip = 0x10dba40dc (0x2740dc)
  ...
  got: .annobin_dwarf_unwind.c 0x10dba40dc, expecting test__arch_unwind_sample
  unwind: failed with 'no error'

The annobin symbols are defined as NOTYPE/LOCAL/HIDDEN:

  # readelf -s ./perf | grep annobin | head -1
    40: 00000000001bce4f     0 NOTYPE  LOCAL  HIDDEN    13 .annobin_init.c

They can still pass the check for the label symbol. Adding check for
HIDDEN and INTERNAL (as suggested by Nick below) visibility and filter
out such symbols.

&gt;   Just to be awkward, if you are going to ignore STV_HIDDEN
&gt;   symbols then you should probably also ignore STV_INTERNAL ones
&gt;   as well...  Annobin does not generate them, but you never know,
&gt;   one day some other tool might create some.

[ Upstream commit 1497e804d1a6e2bd9107ddf64b0310449f4673eb ]

This patch fixes an issue in cpumap.c when used with the TOPOLOGY
header. In some configurations, some NUMA nodes may have no CPU (empty
cpulist). Yet a cpumap map must be created otherwise perf abort with an
error. This patch handles this case by creating a dummy map.

  Before:

  $ perf record -o - -e cycles noploop 2 | perf script -i -
  0x6e8 [0x6c]: failed to process type: 80

  After:

  $ perf record -o - -e cycles noploop 2 | perf script -i -
  noploop for 2 seconds

[ Upstream commit 99d86c8b88393e29cf07c020585f2c8afbcdd97d ]

Song Liu reported crash in 'perf record':

  &gt; #0  0x0000000000500055 in ordered_events(float, long double,...)(...) ()
  &gt; #1  0x0000000000500196 in ordered_events.reinit ()

  &gt; #4  0x00000000004a439f in run_builtin ()
  &gt; #5  0x000000000042b3e5 in main ()"

This can happen when we get out of buffers during event processing.

The subsequent ordered_events__free() call assumes oe-&gt;buffer != NULL
and crashes. Add a check to prevent that.

<title>perf report: Fix wrong iteration count in --branch-history</title>

[ Upstream commit a3366db06bb656cef2e03f30f780d93059bcc594 ]

By calculating the removed loops, we can get the iteration count.

But the iteration count could be reported incorrectly, reporting
impossibly high counts.

That's because previous code uses the number of removed LBR entries for
the iteration count. That's not good. Fix this by increasing the
iteration count when a loop is detected.

When matching the chain, the iteration count would be added up, finally we need
to compute the average value when printing out.

For example,

  $ perf report --branch-history --stdio --no-children

Before:

  ---f2 +0
     |
     |--33.62%--f1 +9 (cycles:1)
     |          f1 +0
     |          main +22 (cycles:1)
     |          main +17
     |          main +38 (cycles:1)
     |          main +27
     |          f1 +26 (cycles:1)
     |          f1 +24
     |          f2 +27 (cycles:7)
     |          f2 +0
     |          f1 +19 (cycles:1)
     |          f1 +14
     |          f2 +27 (cycles:11)
     |          f2 +0
     |          f1 +9 (cycles:1 iter:2968 avg_cycles:3)
     |          f1 +0
     |          main +22 (cycles:1 iter:2968 avg_cycles:3)
     |          main +17
     |          main +38 (cycles:1 iter:2968 avg_cycles:3)

2968 is an impossible high iteration count and avg_cycles is too small.

After:

  ---f2 +0
     |
     |--33.62%--f1 +9 (cycles:1)
     |          f1 +0
     |          main +22 (cycles:1)
     |          main +17
     |          main +38 (cycles:1)
     |          main +27
     |          f1 +26 (cycles:1)
     |          f1 +24
     |          f2 +27 (cycles:7)
     |          f2 +0
     |          f1 +19 (cycles:1)
     |          f1 +14
     |          f2 +27 (cycles:11)
     |          f2 +0
     |          f1 +9 (cycles:1 iter:1 avg_cycles:23)
     |          f1 +0
     |          main +22 (cycles:1 iter:1 avg_cycles:23)
     |          main +17
     |          main +38 (cycles:1 iter:1 avg_cycles:23)

avg_cycles:23 is the average cycles of this iteration.

avg_cycles:23 is the average cycles of this iteration.

<title>perf python: Do not force closing original perf descriptor in evlist.get_pollfd()</title>

[ Upstream commit a389aece97938966616ce0336466b98b0351ef10 ]

Ondřej reported that when compiled with python3, the python extension
regresses in evlist.get_pollfd function behaviour.

The evlist.get_pollfd function creates file objects from evlist's fds
and returns them in a list. The python3 version also sets them to 'close
the original descriptor' when the object dies (is closed), by passing
True via the 'closefd' arg in the PyFile_FromFd call.

The python's closefd doc says:

  If closefd is False, the underlying file descriptor will be kept open
  when the file is closed.

That's why the following line in python3 closes all evlist fds:

  evlist.get_pollfd()

the returned list is immediately destroyed and that takes down the
original events fds.

Passing closefd as False to PyFile_FromFd to fix this.

[ Upstream commit bef0b8970f27da5ca223e522a174d03e2587761d ]

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

In this case the 'target' buffer is coming from a list of build-ids that
are expected to have a len of at most (SBUILD_ID_SIZE - 1) chars, so
probably we're safe, but since we're using strncpy() here, use strlcpy()
instead to provide the intended safety checking without the using the
problematic strncpy() function.

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

  util/probe-file.c: In function 'probe_cache__open.isra.5':
  util/probe-file.c:427:3: error: 'strncpy' specified bound 41 equals destination size [-Werror=stringop-truncation]
     strncpy(sbuildid, target, SBUILD_ID_SIZE);
