[ Upstream commit 1d481458816d9424c8a05833ce0ebe72194a350e ]

Based on the following report from Smatch, fix the potential NULL
pointer dereference check.

  tools/perf/util/intel-bts.c:898
  intel_bts_process_auxtrace_info() error: we previously assumed
  'session-&gt;itrace_synth_opts' could be null (see line 894)

  tools/perf/util/intel-bts.c:899
  intel_bts_process_auxtrace_info() warn: variable dereferenced before
  check 'session-&gt;itrace_synth_opts' (see line 898)

  tools/perf/util/intel-bts.c
  894         if (session-&gt;itrace_synth_opts &amp;&amp; session-&gt;itrace_synth_opts-&gt;set) {
  895                 bts-&gt;synth_opts = *session-&gt;itrace_synth_opts;
  896         } else {
  897                 itrace_synth_opts__set_default(&amp;bts-&gt;synth_opts,
  898                                 session-&gt;itrace_synth_opts-&gt;default_no_sample);
                                      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  899                 if (session-&gt;itrace_synth_opts)
                          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  900                         bts-&gt;synth_opts.thread_stack =
  901                                 session-&gt;itrace_synth_opts-&gt;thread_stack;
  902         }

'session-&gt;itrace_synth_opts' is impossible to be a NULL pointer in
intel_bts_process_auxtrace_info(), thus this patch removes the NULL test
for 'session-&gt;itrace_synth_opts'.

[ Upstream commit 600c787dbf6521d8d07ee717ab7606d5070103ea ]

Based on the following report from Smatch, fix the potential
dereferencing freed memory check.

  tools/perf/util/annotate.c:1125
  disasm_line__parse() error: dereferencing freed memory 'namep'

  tools/perf/util/annotate.c
  1100 static int disasm_line__parse(char *line, const char **namep, char **rawp)
  1101 {
  1102         char tmp, *name = ltrim(line);

  [...]

  1114         *namep = strdup(name);
  1115
  1116         if (*namep == NULL)
  1117                 goto out_free_name;

  [...]

  1124 out_free_name:
  1125         free((void *)namep);
                            ^^^^^
  1126         *namep = NULL;
               ^^^^^^
  1127         return -1;
  1128 }

If strdup() fails to allocate memory space for *namep, we don't need to
free memory with pointer 'namep', which is resident in data structure
disasm_line::ins::name; and *namep is NULL pointer for this failure, so
it's pointless to assign NULL to *namep again.

Committer note:

Freeing namep, which is the address of the first entry of the 'struct
ins' that is the first member of struct disasm_line would in fact free
that disasm_line instance, if it was allocated via malloc/calloc, which,
later, would a dereference of freed memory.

                             ^^^^^^^

'evsel' could be NULL pointer, for this case this patch directly bails
out without dumping read_event.

<title>perf stat: Fix group lookup for metric group</title>

[ Upstream commit 2f87f33f4226523df9c9cc28f9874ea02fcc3d3f ]

The metric group code tries to find a group it added earlier in the
evlist. Fix the lookup to handle groups with partially overlaps
correctly. When a sub string match fails and we reset the match, we have
to compare the first element again.

I also renamed the find_evsel function to find_evsel_group to make its
purpose clearer.

With the earlier changes this fixes:

Before:

  % perf stat -M UPI,IPC sleep 1
  ...
         1,032,922      uops_retired.retire_slots #      1.1 UPI
         1,896,096      inst_retired.any
         1,896,096      inst_retired.any
         1,177,254      cpu_clk_unhalted.thread

After:

  % perf stat -M UPI,IPC sleep 1
  ...
        1,013,193      uops_retired.retire_slots #      1.1 UPI
           932,033      inst_retired.any
           932,033      inst_retired.any          #      0.9 IPC

<title>perf stat: Don't merge events in the same PMU</title>

[ Upstream commit 6c5f4e5cb35b4694dc035d91092d23f596ecd06a ]

Event merging is mainly to collapse similar events in lots of different
duplicated PMUs.

It can break metric displaying. It's possible for two metrics to have
the same event, and when the two events happen in a row the second
wouldn't be displayed.  This would also not show the second metric.

To avoid this don't merge events in the same PMU. This makes sense, if
we have multiple events in the same PMU there is likely some reason for
it (e.g. using multiple groups) and we better not merge them.

While in theory it would be possible to construct metrics that have
events with the same name in different PMU no current metrics have this
problem.

This is the fix for perf stat -M UPI,IPC (needs also another bug fix to
completely work)

Since Fixes: 8c5421c016a4 ("perf pmu: Display pmu name when printing
unmerged events in stat") using --no-merge adds the PMU name to the
evsel name.

This breaks the metric value lookup because the parser doesn't know
about this.

Remove the extra postfixes for the metric evaluation.

[ Upstream commit 145c407c808352acd625be793396fd4f33c794f8 ]

After setting up metric groups through the event parser, the metricgroup
code looks them up again in the event list.

Make sure we only look up events that haven't been used by some other
metric. The data structures currently cannot handle more than one metric
per event. This avoids problems with multiple events partially
overlapping.

[ 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

  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

[ Upstream commit fdbdd7e8580eac9bdafa532746c865644d125e34 ]

In which case it simply returns "unknown", like when it can't figure out
the evsel-&gt;name value.

This makes this code more robust and fixes a problem in 'perf trace'
where a NULL evsel was being passed to a routine that only used the
evsel for printing its name when a invalid syscall id was passed.
