[ 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 1bc479d665bc25a9a4e8168d5b400a47491511f9 ]

ASan complains a memory leakage in hisi_ptt_process_auxtrace_event()
that the data buffer is not freed. Since currently we only support the
raw dump trace mode, the data buffer is used only within this function.
So fix this by freeing the data buffer before going out.

[ Upstream commit 813900d19b923fc1b241c1ce292472f68066092b ]

When dump the raw trace by `perf report -D` ASan reports a memory
leakage in perf_event__fprintf_event_update().

It shows that we allocated a temporary cpumap for dumping the CPUs but
doesn't release it and it's not used elsewhere. Fix this by free the
cpumap after the dumping.

Running perf top with address sanitizer and "--call-graph=lbr" fails
due to reading sample 0 when no samples exist. Add a guard to prevent
this.

Running perf top with address sanitizer and "--call-graph=lbr" fails
due to reading sample 0 when no samples exist. Add a guard to prevent
this.

<title>perf record: Fix BTF type checks in the off-cpu profiling</title>

[ Upstream commit 0e501a65d35bf72414379fed0e31a0b6b81ab57d ]

The BTF func proto for a tracepoint has one more argument than the
actual tracepoint function since it has a context argument at the
begining.  So it should compare to 5 when the tracepoint has 4
arguments.

  typedef void (*btf_trace_sched_switch)(void *, bool, struct task_struct *, struct task_struct *, unsigned int);

Also, recent change in the perf tool would use a hand-written minimal
vmlinux.h to generate BTF in the skeleton.  So it won't have the info
of the tracepoint.  Anyway it should use the kernel's vmlinux BTF to
check the type in the kernel.

<title>perf evlist: Avoid frequency mode for the dummy event</title>

[ Upstream commit f9cdeb58a9cf46c09b56f5f661ea8da24b6458c3 ]

Dummy events are created with an attribute where the period and freq
are zero. evsel__config will then see the uninitialized values and
initialize them in evsel__default_freq_period. As fequency mode is
used by default the dummy event would be set to use frequency
mode. However, this has no effect on the dummy event but does cause
unnecessary timers/interrupts. Avoid this overhead by setting the
period to 1 for dummy events.

evlist__add_aux_dummy calls evlist__add_dummy then sets freq=0 and
period=1. This isn't necessary after this change and so the setting is
removed.

From Stephane:

The dummy event is not counting anything. It is used to collect mmap
records and avoid a race condition during the synthesize mmap phase of
perf record. As such, it should not cause any overhead during active
profiling. Yet, it did. Because of a bug the dummy event was
programmed as a sampling event in frequency mode. Events in that mode
incur more kernel overheads because on timer tick, the kernel has to
look at the number of samples for each event and potentially adjust
the sampling period to achieve the desired frequency. The dummy event
was therefore adding a frequency event to task and ctx contexts we may
otherwise not have any, e.g.,

  perf record -a -e cpu/event=0x3c,period=10000000/.

On each timer tick the perf_adjust_freq_unthr_context() is invoked and
if ctx-&gt;nr_freq is non-zero, then the kernel will loop over ALL the
events of the context looking for frequency mode ones. In doing, so it
locks the context, and enable/disable the PMU of each hw event. If all
the events of the context are in period mode, the kernel will have to
traverse the list for nothing incurring overhead. The overhead is
multiplied by a very large factor when this happens in a guest kernel.
There is no need for the dummy event to be in frequency mode, it does
not count anything and therefore should not cause extra overhead for
no reason.

YYNOMEM was introduced in bison 3.81, so define it as YYABORT for older
versions, which should provide the previous perf behaviour.
