During execution of command 'perf top' the error message:

   Not enough memory for annotating '__irf_end' symbol!)

is emitted from this call sequence:
  __cmd_top
    perf_top__mmap_read
      perf_top__mmap_read_idx
        perf_event__process_sample
          hist_entry_iter__add
            hist_iter__top_callback
              perf_top__record_precise_ip
                hist_entry__inc_addr_samples
                  symbol__inc_addr_samples
                    symbol__get_annotation
                      symbol__alloc_hist

In this function the size of symbol __irf_end is calculated. The size of
a symbol is the difference between its start and end address.

When the symbol was read the first time, its start and end was set to:

   symbol__new: __irf_end 0xe954d0-0xe954d0

which is correct and maps with /proc/kallsyms:

   root@s8360046:~/linux-4.15.0/tools/perf# fgrep _irf_end /proc/kallsyms
   0000000000e954d0 t __irf_end
   root@s8360046:~/linux-4.15.0/tools/perf#

In function symbol__alloc_hist() the end of symbol __irf_end is

  symbol__alloc_hist sym:__irf_end start:0xe954d0 end:0x3ff80045a8

which is identical with the first module entry in /proc/kallsyms

This results in a symbol size of __irf_req for histogram analyses of
70334140059072 bytes and a malloc() for this requested size fails.

The root cause of this is function
  __dso__load_kallsyms()
  +-&gt; symbols__fixup_end()

Function symbols__fixup_end() enlarges the last symbol in the kallsyms
map:

   # fgrep __irf_end /proc/kallsyms
   0000000000e954d0 t __irf_end
   #

to the start address of the first module:
   # cat /proc/kallsyms | sort  | egrep ' [tT] '
   ....
   0000000000e952d0 T __security_initcall_end
   0000000000e954d0 T __initramfs_size
   0000000000e954d0 t __irf_end
   000003ff800045a8 T fc_get_event_number       [scsi_transport_fc]
   000003ff800045d0 t store_fc_vport_disable    [scsi_transport_fc]
   000003ff800046a8 T scsi_is_fc_rport  [scsi_transport_fc]
   000003ff800046d0 t fc_target_setup   [scsi_transport_fc]

On s390 the kernel is located around memory address 0x200, 0x10000 or
0x100000, depending on linux version. Modules however start some- where
around 0x3ff xxxx xxxx.

This is different than x86 and produces a large gap for which histogram
allocation fails.

Fix this by detecting the kernel's last symbol and do no adjustment for
it. Introduce a weak function and handle s390 specifics.

<title>perf record: Fix module size on s390</title>

<id>12a6d2940b5f02b4b9f71ce098e3bb02bc24a9ea</id>
<content type='text'>
On s390 the modules loaded in memory have the text segment located after
the GOT and Relocation table. This can be seen with this output:

  [root@m35lp76 perf]# fgrep qeth /proc/modules
  qeth 151552 1 qeth_l2, Live 0x000003ff800b2000
  ...
  [root@m35lp76 perf]# cat /sys/module/qeth/sections/.text
  0x000003ff800b3990
  [root@m35lp76 perf]#

There is an offset of 0x1990 bytes. The size of the qeth module is
151552 bytes (0x25000 in hex).

The location of the GOT/relocation table at the beginning of a module is
unique to s390.

commit 203d8a4aa6ed ("perf s390: Fix 'start' address of module's map")
adjusts the start address of a module in the map structures, but does
not adjust the size of the modules. This leads to overlapping of module
maps as this example shows:

[root@m35lp76 perf] # ./perf report -D
     0 0 0xfb0 [0xa0]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP -1/0: [0x3ff800b3990(0x25000)
          @ 0]:  x /lib/modules/.../qeth.ko.xz
     0 0 0x1050 [0xb0]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP -1/0: [0x3ff800d85a0(0x8000)
          @ 0]:  x /lib/modules/.../ip6_tables.ko.xz

The module qeth.ko has an adjusted start address modified to b3990, but
its size is unchanged and the module ends at 0x3ff800d8990.  This end
address overlaps with the next modules start address of 0x3ff800d85a0.

When the size of the leading GOT/Relocation table stored in the
beginning of the text segment (0x1990 bytes) is subtracted from module
qeth end address, there are no overlaps anymore:

   0x3ff800d8990 - 0x1990 = 0x0x3ff800d7000

which is the same as

   0x3ff800b2000 + 0x25000 = 0x0x3ff800d7000.

To fix this issue, also adjust the modules size in function
arch__fix_module_text_start(). Add another function parameter named size
and reduce the size of the module when the text segment start address is
changed.

Output after:
     0 0 0xfb0 [0xa0]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP -1/0: [0x3ff800b3990(0x23670)
          @ 0]:  x /lib/modules/.../qeth.ko.xz

<title>perf db-export: Fix thread__exec_comm()</title>

<id>3de7ae0b2a1d86dbb23d0cb135150534fdb2e836</id>
<content type='text'>
Threads synthesized from /proc have comms with a start time of zero, and
not marked as "exec". Currently, there can be 2 such comms. The first is
created by processing a synthesized fork event and is set to the
parent's comm string, and the second by processing a synthesized comm
event set to the thread's current comm string.

In the absence of an "exec" comm, thread__exec_comm() picks the last
(oldest) comm, which, in the case above, is the parent's comm string.
For a main thread, that is very probably wrong. Use the second-to-last
in that case.

This affects only db-export because it is the only user of
thread__exec_comm().

Example:

  $ sudo perf record -a -o pt-a-sleep-1 -e intel_pt//u -- sleep 1
  $ sudo chown ahunter pt-a-sleep-1

Before:

  $ perf script -i pt-a-sleep-1 --itrace=bep -s tools/perf/scripts/python/export-to-sqlite.py pt-a-sleep-1.db branches calls
  $ sqlite3 -header -column pt-a-sleep-1.db 'select * from comm_threads_view'

<pre>
Threads synthesized from /proc have comms with a start time of zero, and
not marked as "exec". Currently, there can be 2 such comms. The first is
created by processing a synthesized fork event and is set to the
parent's comm string, and the second by processing a synthesized comm
event set to the thread's current comm string.

In the absence of an "exec" comm, thread__exec_comm() picks the last
(oldest) comm, which, in the case above, is the parent's comm string.
For a main thread, that is very probably wrong. Use the second-to-last
in that case.

This affects only db-export because it is the only user of
thread__exec_comm().

Example:

  $ sudo perf record -a -o pt-a-sleep-1 -e intel_pt//u -- sleep 1
  $ sudo chown ahunter pt-a-sleep-1

Before:

  $ perf script -i pt-a-sleep-1 --itrace=bep -s tools/perf/scripts/python/export-to-sqlite.py pt-a-sleep-1.db branches calls
  $ sqlite3 -header -column pt-a-sleep-1.db 'select * from comm_threads_view'

<title>perf annotate: Fix printing of unaugmented disassembled instructions from BPF</title>

<id>85127775a65fc58e69af0c44513937d471ccbe7b</id>
<content type='text'>
The code to disassemble BPF programs uses binutil's disassembling
routines, and those use in turn fprintf to print to a memstream FILE,
adding a newline at the end of each line, which ends up confusing the
TUI routines called from:

  annotate_browser__write()
    annotate_line__write()
      annotate_browser__printf()
        ui_browser__vprintf()
          SLsmg_vprintf()

The SLsmg_vprintf() function in the slang library gets confused with the
terminating newline, so make the disasm_line__parse() function that
parses the lines produced by the BPF specific disassembler (that uses
binutil's libopcodes) and the lines produced by the objdump based
disassembler used for everything else (and that doesn't adds this
terminating newline) trim the end of the line in addition of the
beginning.

This way when disasm_line-&gt;ops.raw, i.e. for instructions without a
special scnprintf() method, we'll not have that \n getting in the way of
filling the screen right after the instruction with spaces to avoid
leaving what was on the screen before and thus garbling the annotation
screen, breaking scrolling, etc.

<title>perf header: Fix use of unitialized value warning</title>

<id>20f9781f491360e7459c589705a2e4b1f136bee9</id>
<content type='text'>
When building our local version of perf with MSAN (Memory Sanitizer) and
running the perf record command, MSAN throws a use of uninitialized
value warning in "tools/perf/util/util.c:333:6".

This warning stems from the "buf" variable being passed into "write".
It originated as the variable "ev" with the type union perf_event*
defined in the "perf_event__synthesize_attr" function in
"tools/perf/util/header.c".

In the "perf_event__synthesize_attr" function they allocate space with a malloc
call using ev, then go on to only assign some of the member variables before
passing "ev" on as a parameter to the "process" function therefore "ev"
contains uninitialized memory. Changing the malloc call to zalloc to initialize
all the members of "ev" which gets rid of the warning.

To reproduce this warning, build perf by running:
make -C tools/perf CLANG=1 CC=clang EXTRA_CFLAGS="-fsanitize=memory\
 -fsanitize-memory-track-origins"

(Additionally, llvm might have to be installed and clang might have to
be specified as the compiler - export CC=/usr/bin/clang)

then running:
tools/perf/perf record -o - ls / | tools/perf/perf --no-pager annotate\
 -i - --stdio

Please see the cover letter for why false positive warnings may be
generated.

<title>perf header: Fix divide by zero error if f_header.attr_size==0</title>

<content type='text'>
So I have been having lots of trouble with hand-crafted perf.data files
causing segfaults and the like, so I have started fuzzing the perf tool.

First issue found:

If f_header.attr_size is 0 in the perf.data file, then perf will crash
with a divide-by-zero error.

Committer note:

Added a pr_err() to tell the user why the command failed.

Pull perf/urgent fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

perf.data:

  Alexey Budankov:

  - Fix loading of compressed data split across adjacent records

  Jiri Olsa:

  - Fix buffer size setting for processing CPU topology perf.data header.

perf stat:

  Jiri Olsa:

  - Fix segfault for event group in repeat mode

  Cong Wang:

  - Always separate "stalled cycles per insn" line, it was being appended to
    the "instructions" line.

  Andi Kleen:

  - Fix --max-blocks man page description.

  - Improve man page description of metrics.

  - Fix off by one in brstackinsn IPC computation.

perf probe:

  Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

  - Avoid calling freeing routine multiple times for same pointer.

perf build:

  - Do not use -Wshadow on gcc &lt; 4.8, avoiding too strict warnings
    treated as errors, breaking the build.

<title>perf probe: Set pev-&gt;nargs to zero after freeing pev-&gt;args entries</title>

So that, when perf_add_probe_events() fails, like in:

  # perf probe icmp_rcv:64 "type=icmph-&gt;type"
  Failed to find 'icmph' in this function.
    Error: Failed to add events.
  Segmentation fault (core dumped)
  #

We don't segfault.

clear_perf_probe_event() was zeroing the whole pev, and since the switch
to zfree() for the members in the pev, that memset() was removed, which
left nargs with its original value, in the above case 1.

With the memset the same pev could be passed to clear_perf_probe_event()
multiple times, since all it would have would be zeroes, and free()
accepts zero, the loop would not happen and we would just memset it
again to zeroes.

Without it we got that segfault, so zero nargs to keep it like it was,
next cset will avoid calling clear_perf_probe_event() for the same pevs
in case of failure.

Fix decompression failure found during the loading of compressed trace
collected on larger scale systems (&gt;48 cores).

The error happened due to lack of decompression space for a mmaped
buffer data chunk split across adjacent PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED records.

  $ perf report -i bt.16384.data --stats
  failed to decompress (B): 63869 -&gt; 0 : Destination buffer is too small
  user stack dump failure
  Can't parse sample, err = -14
  0x2637e436 [0x4080]: failed to process type: 9
  Error:
  failed to process sample

  $ perf test 71
  71: Zstd perf.data compression/decompression              : Ok
