[ Upstream commit 3abfcfd847717d232e36963f31a361747c388fe7 ]

The die_get_varname() returns "(unknown_type)" string if it failed to
find a type for the variable.  But it had a space before the opening
parenthesis and it made the closing parenthesis cut off due to the
off-by-one in the string length (14).

[ Upstream commit 797b9ec8c4bc9ec89f633a9b2c710b7b64753ca4 ]

Address/memory sanitizer was reporting issues in evsel__group_pmu_name
because the for_each_group_evsel loop didn't terminate when the head
was reached, the head would then be cast and accessed as an evsel
leading to invalid memory accesses.

Fix for_each_group_member and for_each_group_evsel to terminate at the
list head. Note, evsel__group_pmu_name no longer iterates the group, but
the problem is present regardless.

<title>perf stat: Separate bperf from bpf_profiler</title>

[ Upstream commit ecc68ee216c6c5b2f84915e1441adf436f1b019b ]

It seems that perf stat -b &lt;prog id&gt; doesn't produce any results:

    $ perf stat -e cycles -b 4 -I 10000 -vvv
    Control descriptor is not initialized
    cycles: 0 0 0
                time        counts unit      events
	10.007641640    &lt;not supported&gt;      cycles

Looks like this happens because fentry/fexit progs are getting loaded, but the
corresponding perf event is not enabled and not added into the events bpf map.
I think there is some mixing up between two type of bpf support, one for bperf
and one for bpf_profiler. Both are identified via evsel__is_bpf, based on which
perf events are enabled, but for the latter (bpf_profiler) a perf event is
required. Using evsel__is_bperf to check only bperf produces expected results:

    $ perf stat -e cycles -b 4 -I 10000 -vvv
    Control descriptor is not initialized
    ------------------------------------------------------------
    perf_event_attr:
      size                             136
      sample_type                      IDENTIFIER
      read_format                      TOTAL_TIME_ENABLED|TOTAL_TIME_RUNNING
      disabled                         1
      exclude_guest                    1

    sys_perf_event_open: pid -1  cpu 0  group_fd -1  flags 0x8 = 3

		time             counts unit events
	10.010091271             309426      cycles

The final numbers correspond (at least in the level of magnitude) to the
same metric obtained via bpftool.

[ Upstream commit 449067f3fc9f340da54e383738286881e6634d0b ]

In this context, timeless refers to the trace data rather than the perf
event data. But when detecting whether there are timestamps in the trace
data or not, the presence of a timestamp flag on any perf event is used.

Since commit f42c0ce573df ("perf record: Always get text_poke events
with --kcore option") timestamps were added to a tracking event when
--kcore is used which breaks this detection mechanism. Fix it by
detecting if trace timestamps exist by looking at the ETM config flags.
This would have always been a more accurate way of doing it anyway.

This fixes the following error message when using --kcore with
Coresight:

  $ perf record --kcore -e cs_etm// --per-thread
  $ perf report
  The perf.data/data data has no samples!

[ Upstream commit 449067f3fc9f340da54e383738286881e6634d0b ]

In this context, timeless refers to the trace data rather than the perf
event data. But when detecting whether there are timestamps in the trace
data or not, the presence of a timestamp flag on any perf event is used.

Since commit f42c0ce573df ("perf record: Always get text_poke events
with --kcore option") timestamps were added to a tracking event when
--kcore is used which breaks this detection mechanism. Fix it by
detecting if trace timestamps exist by looking at the ETM config flags.
This would have always been a more accurate way of doing it anyway.

This fixes the following error message when using --kcore with
Coresight:

  $ perf record --kcore -e cs_etm// --per-thread
  $ perf report
  The perf.data/data data has no samples!

<title>perf map: Delete two variable initialisations before null pointer checks in sort__sym_from_cmp()</title>

[ Upstream commit c160118a90d4acf335993d8d59b02ae2147a524e ]

Addresses of two data structure members were determined before
corresponding null pointer checks in the implementation of the function
“sort__sym_from_cmp”.

Thus avoid the risk for undefined behaviour by removing extra
initialisations for the local variables “from_l” and “from_r” (also
because they were already reassigned with the same value behind this
pointer check).

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
