[ Upstream commit cc437642255224e4140fed1f3e3156fc8ad91903 ]

In Python3, the result of PyModule_Create (called from
scripts/python/Perf-Trace-Util/Context.c) is not automatically added to
sys.modules.  See: https://bugs.python.org/issue4592

Below is the observed behavior without the fix:

  # ldd /usr/bin/perf | grep -i python
	libpython3.6m.so.1.0 =&gt; /usr/lib64/libpython3.6m.so.1.0 (0x00007f8e1dfb2000)

  # perf record /bin/false
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.015 MB perf.data (17 samples) ]

  # perf script -g python | cat
  generated Python script: perf-script.py

  # perf script -s ./perf-script.py
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "./perf-script.py", line 18, in &lt;module&gt;
      from perf_trace_context import *
  ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'perf_trace_context'
  Error running python script ./perf-script.py
  #

Committer notes:

To build with python3 use:

  $ make -C tools/perf PYTHON=python3

Use a non-const variable to pass the 'name' arg to
PyImport_AppendInittab(), as python2.6 has that as 'char *', which ends
up trowing this in some environments:

<title>perf report: Add s390 diagnosic sampling descriptor size</title>

[ Upstream commit 2187d87eacd46f6214ce3dc9cfd7a558375a4153 ]

On IBM z13 machine types 2964 and 2965 the descriptor
sizes for sampling and diagnostic sampling entries
might be missing in the trailer entry and are set to zero.

This leads to a perf report failure when processing diagnostic
sampling entries.

This patch adds missing descriptor sizes when the trailer entry
contains zero for these fields.

Output before:
  [root@s38lp82 perf]#  ./perf report --stdio | fgrep Samples
  0xabbf0 [0x8]: failed to process type: 68
  Error:
  failed to process sample
  [root@s38lp82 perf]#

Output after:
  [root@s38lp82 perf]#  ./perf report --stdio | fgrep Samples
  # Total Lost Samples: 0
  # Samples: 3K of event 'SF_CYCLES_BASIC_DIAG'
  # Samples: 162  of event 'CF_DIAG'

<title>perf report: Don't shadow inlined symbol with different addr range</title>

[ Upstream commit 7346195e8643482968f547483e0d823ec1982fab ]

We can't assume inlined symbols with the same name are equal, because
their address range may be different. This will cause the symbols with
different addresses be shadowed when adding to the hist entry, and lead
to ERANGE error when checking the symbol address during sample parse,
the addr should be within the range of [sym.start, sym.end].

The error message is like: "0x36aea60 [0x8]: failed to process type: 68".

The second parameter of symbol__new() is the length of the fake symbol
for the inline frame, which is the subtraction of the end and start
address of base_sym.

[ 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;

commit f3b4e06b3bda759afd042d3d5fa86bea8f1fe278 upstream.

A TSC packet can slip past MTC packets so that the timestamp appears to
go backwards. One estimate is that can be up to about 40 CPU cycles,
which is certainly less than 0x1000 TSC ticks, but accept slippage an
order of magnitude more to be on the safe side.

<title>perf pmu: Fix parser error for uncore event alias</title>

<id>c9418d0addb0ddd91d14f3f86ce826af77945c3b</id>
<content type='text'>
commit e94d6b7f615e6dfbaf9fba7db6011db561461d0c upstream.

Perf fails to parse uncore event alias, for example:

  # perf stat -e unc_m_clockticks -a --no-merge sleep 1
  event syntax error: 'unc_m_clockticks'
                       \___ parser error

Current code assumes that the event alias is from one specific PMU.

To find the PMU, perf strcmps the PMU name of event alias with the real
PMU name on the system.

However, the uncore event alias may be from multiple PMUs with common
prefix. The PMU name of uncore event alias is the common prefix.

For example, UNC_M_CLOCKTICKS is clock event for iMC, which include 6
PMUs with the same prefix "uncore_imc" on a skylake server.

The real PMU names on the system for iMC are uncore_imc_0 ...
uncore_imc_5.

The strncmp is used to only check the common prefix for uncore event
alias.

With the patch:

  # perf stat -e unc_m_clockticks -a --no-merge sleep 1
  Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

       723,594,722      unc_m_clockticks [uncore_imc_5]
       724,001,954      unc_m_clockticks [uncore_imc_3]
       724,042,655      unc_m_clockticks [uncore_imc_1]
       724,161,001      unc_m_clockticks [uncore_imc_4]
       724,293,713      unc_m_clockticks [uncore_imc_2]

commit eaeffeb9838a7c0dec981d258666bfcc0fa6a947 upstream.

Since commit 4d99e4136580 ("perf machine: Workaround missing maps for
x86 PTI entry trampolines"), perf tools has been creating more than one
kernel map, however 'perf probe' assumed there could be only one.

Fix by using machine__kernel_map() to get the main kernel map.

commit eaeffeb9838a7c0dec981d258666bfcc0fa6a947 upstream.

Since commit 4d99e4136580 ("perf machine: Workaround missing maps for
x86 PTI entry trampolines"), perf tools has been creating more than one
kernel map, however 'perf probe' assumed there could be only one.

Fix by using machine__kernel_map() to get the main kernel map.

<title>perf intel-pt: Fix divide by zero when TSC is not available</title>

commit 076333870c2f5bdd9b6d31e7ca1909cf0c84cbfa upstream.

When TSC is not available, "timeless" decoding is used but a divide by
zero occurs if perf_time_to_tsc() is called.

Ensure the divisor is not zero.

commit 5a99d99e3310a565b0cf63f785b347be9ee0da45 upstream.

Auxtrace records might have up to 7 bytes of padding appended. Adjust
the overlap accordingly.
