[ Upstream commit c4735d990268399da9133b0ad445e488ece009ad ]

Since commit 0a892c1c9472 ("perf record: Add dummy event during system wide synthesis"),
a dummy event is added to capture mmaps.

But if we run perf-record as,

 # perf record -e cycles:p -IXMM0 -a -- sleep 1
 Error:
 dummy:HG: PMU Hardware doesn't support sampling/overflow-interrupts. Try 'perf stat'

The issue is, if we enable the extended regs (-IXMM0), but the
pmu-&gt;capabilities is not set with PERF_PMU_CAP_EXTENDED_REGS, the kernel
will return -EOPNOTSUPP error.

See following code:

/* in kernel/events/core.c */
static int perf_try_init_event(struct pmu *pmu, struct perf_event *event)

{
        ....
        if (!(pmu-&gt;capabilities &amp; PERF_PMU_CAP_EXTENDED_REGS) &amp;&amp;
            has_extended_regs(event))
                ret = -EOPNOTSUPP;
        ....
}

For software dummy event, the PMU should not be set with
PERF_PMU_CAP_EXTENDED_REGS. But unfortunately now, the dummy
event has possibility to be set with PERF_REG_EXTENDED_MASK bit.

In evsel__config, /* tools/perf/util/evsel.c */

if (opts-&gt;sample_intr_regs) {
        attr-&gt;sample_regs_intr = opts-&gt;sample_intr_regs;
}

If we use -IXMM0, the attr&gt;sample_regs_intr will be set with
PERF_REG_EXTENDED_MASK bit.

It doesn't make sense to set attr-&gt;sample_regs_intr for a
software dummy event.

This patch adds dummy event checking before setting
attr-&gt;sample_regs_intr and attr-&gt;sample_regs_user.

After:
  # ./perf record -e cycles:p -IXMM0 -a -- sleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.413 MB perf.data (45 samples) ]

Committer notes:

Adrian said this when providing his Acked-by:

"
This is fine.  It will not break PT.

no_aux_samples is useful for evsels that have been added by the code rather
than requested by the user.  For old kernels PT adds sched_switch tracepoint
to track context switches (before the current context switch event was
added) and having auxiliary sample information unnecessarily uses up space
in the perf buffer.

<title>perf tools: Fix term parsing for raw syntax</title>

[ Upstream commit 4929e95a1400e45b4b5a87fd3ce10273444187d4 ]

Jin Yao reported issue with possible conflict between raw events and
term values in pmu event syntax.

Currently following syntax is resolved as raw event with 0xead value:

  uncore_imc_free_running/read/

instead of using 'read' term from uncore_imc_free_running pmu, because
'read' is correct raw event syntax with 0xead value.

To solve this issue we do following:

  - check existing terms during rXXXX syntax processing
    and make them priority in case of conflict

  - allow pmu/r0x1234/ syntax to be able to specify conflicting
    raw event (implemented in previous patch)

Also add automated tests for this and perf_pmu__parse_cleanup call to
parse_events_terms, so the test gets properly cleaned up.

<title>perf intel-pt: Fix duplicate branch after CBR</title>

commit a58a057ce65b52125dd355b7d8b0d540ea267a5f upstream.

CBR events can result in a duplicate branch event, because the state
type defaults to a branch. Fix by clearing the state type.

Example: trace 'sleep' and hope for a frequency change

<title>perf intel-pt: Fix FUP packet state</title>

commit 401136bb084fd021acd9f8c51b52fe0a25e326b2 upstream.

While walking code towards a FUP ip, the packet state is
INTEL_PT_STATE_FUP or INTEL_PT_STATE_FUP_NO_TIP. That was mishandled
resulting in the state becoming INTEL_PT_STATE_IN_SYNC prematurely.  The
result was an occasional lost EXSTOP event.

commit 401136bb084fd021acd9f8c51b52fe0a25e326b2 upstream.

While walking code towards a FUP ip, the packet state is
INTEL_PT_STATE_FUP or INTEL_PT_STATE_FUP_NO_TIP. That was mishandled
resulting in the state becoming INTEL_PT_STATE_IN_SYNC prematurely.  The
result was an occasional lost EXSTOP event.

commit 12d572e785b15bc764e956caaa8a4c846fd15694 upstream.

Fix the memory leakage in debuginfo__find_trace_events() when the probe
point is not found in the debuginfo. If there is no probe point found in
the debuginfo, debuginfo__find_probes() will NOT return -ENOENT, but 0.

Thus the caller of debuginfo__find_probes() must check the tf.ntevs and
release the allocated memory for the array of struct probe_trace_event.

The current code releases the memory only if the debuginfo__find_probes()
hits an error but not checks tf.ntevs. In the result, the memory allocated
on *tevs are not released if tf.ntevs == 0.

This fixes the memory leakage by checking tf.ntevs == 0 in addition to
ret &lt; 0.

commit 11fd3eb874e73ee8069bcfd54e3c16fa7ce56fe6 upstream.

Fix a wrong "variable not found" warning when the probe point is not
found in the debuginfo.

Since the debuginfo__find_probes() can return 0 even if it does not find
given probe point in the debuginfo, fill_empty_trace_arg() can be called
with tf.ntevs == 0 and it can emit a wrong warning.  To fix this, reject
ntevs == 0 in fill_empty_trace_arg().

E.g. without this patch;

  # perf probe -x /lib64/libc-2.30.so -a "memcpy arg1=%di"
  Failed to find the location of the '%di' variable at this address.
   Perhaps it has been optimized out.
   Use -V with the --range option to show '%di' location range.
  Added new events:
    probe_libc:memcpy    (on memcpy in /usr/lib64/libc-2.30.so with arg1=%di)
    probe_libc:memcpy    (on memcpy in /usr/lib64/libc-2.30.so with arg1=%di)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

  	perf record -e probe_libc:memcpy -aR sleep 1

With this;

  # perf probe -x /lib64/libc-2.30.so -a "memcpy arg1=%di"
  Added new events:
    probe_libc:memcpy    (on memcpy in /usr/lib64/libc-2.30.so with arg1=%di)
    probe_libc:memcpy    (on memcpy in /usr/lib64/libc-2.30.so with arg1=%di)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

  	perf record -e probe_libc:memcpy -aR sleep 1

<title>perf intel-pt: Fix recording PEBS-via-PT with registers</title>

When recording PEBS-via-PT, the kernel will not accept the intel_pt
event with register sampling e.g.

 # perf record --kcore -c 10000 -e '{intel_pt/branch=0/,branch-loads/aux-output/ppp}' -I -- ls -l
 Error:
 intel_pt/branch=0/: PMU Hardware doesn't support sampling/overflow-interrupts. Try 'perf stat'

Fix by suppressing register sampling on the intel_pt evsel.

Committer notes:

Adrian informed that this is only available from Tremont onwards, so on
older processors the error continues the same as before.

<content type='text'>
Commit 0a892c1c9472 ("perf record: Add dummy event during system wide
synthesis") reveals an issue with Intel PT system wide tracing.
Specifically that Intel PT already adds a dummy tracking event, and it
is not the first event.  Adding another dummy tracking event causes
duplicated sideband events.  Fix by checking for an existing dummy
tracking event first.

Example showing duplicated switch events:

 Before:

   # perf record -a -e intel_pt//u uname
   Linux
   [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
   [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.895 MB perf.data ]
   # perf script --no-itrace --show-switch-events | head
            swapper     0 [007]  6390.516222: PERF_RECORD_SWITCH_CPU_WIDE OUT preempt  next pid/tid:    11/11
            swapper     0 [007]  6390.516222: PERF_RECORD_SWITCH_CPU_WIDE OUT preempt  next pid/tid:    11/11

 After:

   # perf record -a -e intel_pt//u uname
   Linux

   [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.868 MB perf.data ]

Commit 0a892c1c9472 ("perf record: Add dummy event during system wide
synthesis") reveals an issue with Intel PT system wide tracing.
Specifically that Intel PT already adds a dummy tracking event, and it
is not the first event.  Adding another dummy tracking event causes
duplicated sideband events.  Fix by checking for an existing dummy
tracking event first.

Example showing duplicated switch events:

 Before:

   # perf record -a -e intel_pt//u uname
   Linux
   [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
   [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.895 MB perf.data ]
   # perf script --no-itrace --show-switch-events | head

            swapper     0 [007]  6390.516222: PERF_RECORD_SWITCH_CPU_WIDE OUT preempt  next pid/tid:    11/11
