commit cba04f3136b658583adb191556f99d087589c1cc upstream.

For modules, names from kallsyms__parse() contain the module name which
meant that module symbols did not match exactly by name.

Fix by matching the name string up to the separating tab character.

<title>perf: Skip and warn on unknown format 'configN' attrs</title>

[ Upstream commit e552b7be12ed62357df84392efa525ecb01910fb ]

If the kernel exposes a new perf_event_attr field in a format attr, perf
will return an error stating the specified PMU can't be found. For
example, a format attr with 'config3:0-63' causes an error as config3 is
unknown to perf. This causes a compatibility issue between a newer
kernel with older perf tool.

Before this change with a kernel adding 'config3' I get:

  $ perf record -e arm_spe// -- true
  event syntax error: 'arm_spe//'
                       \___ Cannot find PMU `arm_spe'. Missing kernel support?
  Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

   Usage: perf record [&lt;options&gt;] [&lt;command&gt;]
      or: perf record [&lt;options&gt;] -- &lt;command&gt; [&lt;options&gt;]

      -e, --event &lt;event&gt;   event selector. use 'perf list' to list
  available events

After this change, I get:

  $ perf record -e arm_spe// -- true
  WARNING: 'arm_spe_0' format 'inv_event_filter' requires 'perf_event_attr::config3' which is not supported by this version of perf!
  [ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.091 MB perf.data ]

To support unknown configN formats, rework the YACC implementation to
pass any config[0-9]+ format to perf_pmu__new_format() to handle with a
warning.

<title>perf intel-pt: Fix segfault in intel_pt_print_info() with uClibc</title>

commit 5a3d47071f0ced0431ef82a5fb6bd077ed9493db upstream.

uClibc segfaulted because NULL was passed as the format to fprintf().

That happened because one of the format strings was missing and
intel_pt_print_info() didn't check that before calling fprintf().

Add the missing format string, and check format is not NULL before calling
fprintf().

[ Upstream commit 5b427df27b94aec1312cace48a746782a0925c53 ]

/proc/kallsyms and /proc/modules are compared before and after the copy
in order to ensure no changes during the copy.

However /proc/modules also might change due to reference counts changing
even though that does not make any difference.

Any modules loaded or unloaded should be visible in changes to kallsyms,
so it is not necessary to check /proc/modules also anyway.

Remove the comparison checking that /proc/modules is unchanged.

[ Upstream commit 5b427df27b94aec1312cace48a746782a0925c53 ]

/proc/kallsyms and /proc/modules are compared before and after the copy
in order to ensure no changes during the copy.

However /proc/modules also might change due to reference counts changing
even though that does not make any difference.

Any modules loaded or unloaded should be visible in changes to kallsyms,
so it is not necessary to check /proc/modules also anyway.

Remove the comparison checking that /proc/modules is unchanged.

<title>perf stat: Fix BPF program section name</title>

[ Upstream commit 0d77326c3369e255715ed2440a78894ccc98dd69 ]

It seems the recent libbpf got more strict about the section name.
I'm seeing a failure like this:

  $ sudo ./perf stat -a --bpf-counters --for-each-cgroup ^. sleep 1
  libbpf: prog 'on_cgrp_switch': missing BPF prog type, check ELF section name 'perf_events'
  libbpf: prog 'on_cgrp_switch': failed to load: -22
  libbpf: failed to load object 'bperf_cgroup_bpf'
  libbpf: failed to load BPF skeleton 'bperf_cgroup_bpf': -22
  Failed to load cgroup skeleton

The section name should be 'perf_event' (without the trailing 's').
Although it's related to the libbpf change, it'd be better fix the
section name in the first place.

commit 9d5f0c36438eeae7566ca383b2b673179e3cc613 upstream.

Its more intention revealing, and if we're interested in the odd cases
where this may end up truncating we can do debug checks at one
centralized place.

Motivation, of all the container builds, fedora rawhide started
complaining of:

  util/machine.c: In function ‘machine__create_modules’:
  util/machine.c:1419:50: error: ‘%s’ directive output may be truncated writing up to 255 bytes into a region of size between 0 and 4095 [-Werror=format-truncation=]
   1419 |                 snprintf(path, sizeof(path), "%s/%s", dir_name, dent-&gt;d_name);

  /usr/include/bits/stdio2.h:71:10: note: ‘__builtin___snprintf_chk’ output between 2 and 4352 bytes into a destination of size 4096

There are other places where we should use path__join(), but lets get rid of
this one first.

commit 2e828582b81f5bc76a4fe8e7812df259ab208302 upstream.

parse_events() is often called with parse_events_error set to NULL.
Make parse_events_error__handle() not segfault in that case.

A subsequent patch changes to avoid passing NULL in the first place.
