[ Upstream commit 9c51f8788b5d4e9f46afbcf563255cfd355690b3 ]

Add variants of perf_env__insert_bpf_prog_info(), perf_env__insert_btf()
and perf_env__find_btf prefixed with __ to indicate the
env-&gt;bpf_progs.lock is assumed held.

Call these variants when the lock is held to avoid recursively taking it
and potentially having a thread deadlock with itself.

[ Upstream commit b38d85ef49cf6af9d1deaaf01daf0986d47e6c7a ]

Renaming bpf_event__add_sb_event() to evlist__add_sb_event() and
requiring that the evlist be allocated beforehand.

This will allow using the same side band thread and evlist to be used
for multiple purposes in addition to react to PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT soon
after they are generated.

<title>perf tools: Handle old data in PERF_RECORD_ATTR</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 9bf63282ea77a531ea58acb42fb3f40d2d1e4497 upstream.

The PERF_RECORD_ATTR is used for a pipe mode to describe an event with
attribute and IDs.  The ID table comes after the attr and it calculate
size of the table using the total record size and the attr size.

  n_ids = (total_record_size - end_of_the_attr_field) / sizeof(u64)

This is fine for most use cases, but sometimes it saves the pipe output
in a file and then process it later.  And it becomes a problem if there
is a change in attr size between the record and report.

  $ perf record -o- &gt; perf-pipe.data  # old version
  $ perf report -i- &lt; perf-pipe.data  # new version

For example, if the attr size is 128 and it has 4 IDs, then it would
save them in 168 byte like below:

   8 byte: perf event header { .type = PERF_RECORD_ATTR, .size = 168 },
 128 byte: perf event attr { .size = 128, ... },
  32 byte: event IDs [] = { 1234, 1235, 1236, 1237 },

But when report later, it thinks the attr size is 136 then it only read
the last 3 entries as ID.

   8 byte: perf event header { .type = PERF_RECORD_ATTR, .size = 168 },
 136 byte: perf event attr { .size = 136, ... },
  24 byte: event IDs [] = { 1235, 1236, 1237 },  // 1234 is missing

So it should use the recorded version of the attr.  The attr has the
size field already then it should honor the size when reading data.

<title>perf annotate bpf: Don't enclose non-debug code with an assert()</title>

[ Upstream commit 979e9c9fc9c2a761303585e07fe2699bdd88182f ]

In 616b14b47a86d880 ("perf build: Conditionally define NDEBUG") we
started using NDEBUG=1 when DEBUG=1 isn't present, so code that is
enclosed with assert() is not called.

In dd317df072071903 ("perf build: Make binutil libraries opt in") we
stopped linking against binutils-devel, for licensing reasons.

Recently people asked me why annotation of BPF programs wasn't working,
i.e. this:

  $ perf annotate bpf_prog_5280546344e3f45c_kfree_skb

was returning:

  case SYMBOL_ANNOTATE_ERRNO__NO_LIBOPCODES_FOR_BPF:
     scnprintf(buf, buflen, "Please link with binutils's libopcode to enable BPF annotation");

This was on a fedora rpm, so its new enough that I had to try to test by
rebuilding using BUILD_NONDISTRO=1, only to get it segfaulting on me.

This combination made this libopcode function not to be called:

        assert(bfd_check_format(bfdf, bfd_object));

Changing it to:

	if (!bfd_check_format(bfdf, bfd_object))
		abort();

Made it work, looking at this "check" function made me realize it
changes the 'bfdf' internal state, i.e. we better call it.

So stop using assert() on it, just call it and abort if it fails.

Probably it is better to propagate the error, etc, but it seems it is
unlikely to fail from the usage done so far and we really need to stop
using libopcodes, so do the quick fix above and move on.

[ Upstream commit 979e9c9fc9c2a761303585e07fe2699bdd88182f ]

In 616b14b47a86d880 ("perf build: Conditionally define NDEBUG") we
started using NDEBUG=1 when DEBUG=1 isn't present, so code that is
enclosed with assert() is not called.

In dd317df072071903 ("perf build: Make binutil libraries opt in") we
stopped linking against binutils-devel, for licensing reasons.

Recently people asked me why annotation of BPF programs wasn't working,
i.e. this:

  $ perf annotate bpf_prog_5280546344e3f45c_kfree_skb

was returning:

  case SYMBOL_ANNOTATE_ERRNO__NO_LIBOPCODES_FOR_BPF:
     scnprintf(buf, buflen, "Please link with binutils's libopcode to enable BPF annotation");

This was on a fedora rpm, so its new enough that I had to try to test by
rebuilding using BUILD_NONDISTRO=1, only to get it segfaulting on me.

This combination made this libopcode function not to be called:

        assert(bfd_check_format(bfdf, bfd_object));

Changing it to:

	if (!bfd_check_format(bfdf, bfd_object))
		abort();

Made it work, looking at this "check" function made me realize it
changes the 'bfdf' internal state, i.e. we better call it.

So stop using assert() on it, just call it and abort if it fails.

Probably it is better to propagate the error, etc, but it seems it is
unlikely to fail from the usage done so far and we really need to stop
using libopcodes, so do the quick fix above and move on.

With it we have BPF annotation back working when built with
BUILD_NONDISTRO=1:

[ 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).

<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.
