[ Upstream commit c1149037f65bcf0334886180ebe3d5efcf214912 ]

Caught using reference count checking on perf top with
"--call-graph=lbr". After this no memory leaks were detected.

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 trace: Use the right bpf_probe_read(_str) variant for reading user data</title>

[ Upstream commit 5069211e2f0b47e75119805e23ae6352d871e263 ]

Perf test case 111 Check open filename arg using perf trace + vfs_getname
fails on s390. This is caused by a failing function
bpf_probe_read() in file util/bpf_skel/augmented_raw_syscalls.bpf.c.

The root cause is the lookup by address. Function bpf_probe_read()
is used. This function works only for architectures
with ARCH_HAS_NON_OVERLAPPING_ADDRESS_SPACE.

On s390 is not possible to determine from the address to which
address space the address belongs to (user or kernel space).

Replace bpf_probe_read() by bpf_probe_read_kernel()
and bpf_probe_read_str() by bpf_probe_read_user_str() to
explicity specify the address space the address refers to.

[ Upstream commit 1f36b190ad2dea68e3a7e84b7b2f24ce8c4063ea ]

The recent change made it possible to generate vmlinux.h from BTF and
to ignore the file.  But we also have a minimal vmlinux.h that will be
used by default.  It should not be ignored by GIT.

pmu should be initialized to NULL before perf_pmus__scan loop. Fix and
shrink the scope of pmu at the same time. Issue detected by clang-tidy.

<title>perf parse-events: Fix for term values that are raw events</title>

[ Upstream commit b20576fd7fe39554b212095c3c0d7a3dff512515 ]

Raw events can be strings like 'r0xead' but the 0x is optional so they
can also be 'read'. On IcelakeX uncore_imc_free_running has an event
called 'read' which may be programmed as:
```
$ perf stat -e 'uncore_imc_free_running/event=read/' -a sleep 1
```
However, the PE_RAW type isn't allowed on the right of a term, even
though in this case we just want to interpret it as a string. This
leads to the following error on IcelakeX:
```
$ perf stat -e 'uncore_imc_free_running/event=read/' -a sleep 1
event syntax error: '..nning/event=read/'
                                  \___ parser error
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

 Usage: perf stat [&lt;options&gt;] [&lt;command&gt;]

    -e, --event &lt;event&gt; event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events
```
Fix this by allowing raw types on the right of terms and treat them as
strings, just as is already done for PE_LEGACY_CACHE. Make this
consistent by just entirely removing name_or_legacy and always using
name_or_raw that covers all three cases.

[ 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.
