<title>x86/insn: Use get_unaligned() instead of memcpy()</title>

[ Upstream commit f96b4675839b66168f5a07bf964dde6c2f1c4885 ]

Use get_unaligned() instead of memcpy() to access potentially unaligned
memory, which, when accessed through a pointer, leads to undefined
behavior. get_unaligned() describes much better what is happening there
anyway even if memcpy() does the job.

In addition, since perf tool builds with -Werror, it would fire with:

  util/intel-pt-decoder/../../../arch/x86/lib/insn.c: In function '__insn_get_emulate_prefix':
  tools/include/../include/asm-generic/unaligned.h:10:15: error: packed attribute is unnecessary [-Werror=packed]
     10 |  const struct { type x; } __packed *__pptr = (typeof(__pptr))(ptr); \

because -Werror=packed would complain if the packed attribute would have
no effect on the layout of the structure.

In this case, that is intentional so disable the warning only for that
compilation unit.

That part is Reported-by: Stephen Rothwell &lt;sfr@canb.auug.org.au&gt;

No functional changes.

<title>perf script: Check session-&gt;header.env.arch before using it</title>

commit 29c77550eef31b0d72a45b49eeab03b8963264e8 upstream.

When perf.data is not written cleanly, we would like to process existing
data as much as possible (please see f_header.data.size == 0 condition
in perf_session__read_header). However, perf.data with partial data may
crash perf. Specifically, we see crash in 'perf script' for NULL
session-&gt;header.env.arch.

Fix this by checking session-&gt;header.env.arch before using it to determine
native_arch. Also split the if condition so it is easier to read.

Committer notes:

If it is a pipe, we already assume is a native arch, so no need to check
session-&gt;header.env.arch.

<title>perf script: Fix PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT support</title>

[ Upstream commit 27730c8cd60d1574d8337276e7a9d7d2ca92e0d1 ]

-F weight in perf script is broken.

  # ./perf mem record
  # ./perf script -F weight
  Samples for 'dummy:HG' event do not have WEIGHT attribute set. Cannot
print 'weight' field.

The sample type, PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT, is an alternative of the
PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT sample type. They share the same space, weight. The
lower 32 bits are exactly the same for both sample type. The higher 32
bits may be different for different architecture. For a new kernel on
x86, the PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT is used. For an old kernel or other
ARCHs, the PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT is used.

With -F weight, current perf script will only check the input string
"weight" with the PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT sample type. Because the commit
ea8d0ed6eae3 ("perf tools: Support PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT") didn't
update the PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT sample type for perf script. For a
new kernel on x86, the check fails.

Use PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_TYPE, which supports both sample types, to
replace PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT

<title>perf iostat: Fix Segmentation fault from NULL 'struct perf_counts_values *'</title>

[ Upstream commit 4da8b121884d84476f3d50d46a471471af1aa9df ]

If the 'perf iostat' user specifies two or more iio_root_ports and also
specifies the cpu(s) by -C which is not *connected to all* the above iio
ports, the iostat_print_metric() will run into trouble:

For example:

  $ perf iostat list
  S0-uncore_iio_0&lt;0000:16&gt;
  S1-uncore_iio_0&lt;0000:97&gt; # &lt;--- CPU 1 is located in the socket S0

  $ perf iostat 0000:16,0000:97 -C 1 -- ls
  port 	Inbound Read(MB)	Inbound Write(MB)	Outbound Read(MB)	Outbound
  Write(MB) ../perf-iostat: line 12: 104418 Segmentation fault
  (core dumped) perf stat --iostat$DELIMITER$*

The core-dump stack says, in the above corner case, the returned
(struct perf_counts_values *) count will be NULL, and the caller
iostat_print_metric() apparently doesn't not handle this case.

  433	struct perf_counts_values *count = perf_counts(evsel-&gt;counts, die, 0);
  434
  435	if (count-&gt;run &amp;&amp; count-&gt;ena) {
  (gdb) p count
  $1 = (struct perf_counts_values *) 0x0

The deeper reason is that there are actually no statistics from the user
specified pair "iostat 0000:X, -C (disconnected) Y ", but let's fix it with
minimum cost by adding a NULL check in the user space.

[ Upstream commit e4fe5d7349e0b1c0d3da5b6b3e1efce591e85bd2 ]

An iostate use case like "perf iostat 0000:16,0000:97 -- ls" should be
implemented to work in system-wide mode to ensure that the output from
print_header() is consistent with the user documentation perf-iostat.txt,
rather than incorrectly assuming that the kernel does not support it:

 Error:
 The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 22 (Invalid argument) \
 for event (uncore_iio_0/event=0x83,umask=0x04,ch_mask=0xF,fc_mask=0x07/).
 /bin/dmesg | grep -i perf may provide additional information.

This error is easily fixed by assigning system-wide mode by default
for IOSTAT_RUN only when the target cpu_list is unspecified.

[ Upstream commit 5c34aea341b16e29fde6e6c8d4b18866cd99754d ]

To ensure the stack frames are on the stack tail calls optimizations
need to be inhibited. If your compiler supports an attribute use it,
otherwise use an asm volatile barrier.

The barrier fix was suggested here:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20201028081123.GT2628@hirez.programming.kicks-ass.net/
Tested with an optimized clang build and by forcing the asm barrier
route with an optimized clang build.

A GCC bug tracking a proper disable_tail_calls is:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=97831

Fixes: 9ae1e990f1ab ("perf tools: Remove broken __no_tail_call
       attribute")

v2. is a rebase. The original fix patch generated quite a lot of
    discussion over the right place for the fix:
    https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20201114000803.909530-1-irogers@google.com/
    The patch reflects my preference of it being near the use, so that
    future code cleanups don't break this somewhat special usage.

<title>perf tools: Allow build-id with trailing zeros</title>

commit 4a86d41404005a3c7e7b6065e8169ac6202887a9 upstream.

Currently perf saves a build-id with size but old versions assumes the
size of 20.  In case the build-id is less than 20 (like for MD5), it'd
fill the rest with 0s.

I saw a problem when old version of perf record saved a binary in the
build-id cache and new version of perf reads the data.  The symbols
should be read from the build-id cache (as the path no longer has the
same binary) but it failed due to mismatch in the build-id.

  symsrc__init: build id mismatch for /home/namhyung/.debug/.build-id/53/e4c2f42a4c61a2d632d92a72afa08f00000000/elf.

The build-id event in the data has 20 byte build-ids, but it saw a
different size (16) when it reads the build-id of the elf file in the
build-id cache.

  $ readelf -n ~/.debug/.build-id/53/e4c2f42a4c61a2d632d92a72afa08f00000000/elf

  Displaying notes found in: .note.gnu.build-id

    GNU                  0x00000010	NT_GNU_BUILD_ID (unique build ID bitstring)
      Build ID: 53e4c2f42a4c61a2d632d92a72afa08f

Let's fix this by allowing trailing zeros if the size is different.

<title>perf symbol: Look for ImageBase in PE file to compute .text offset</title>

commit d2930ede5218be28413a00130a6895d14393c325 upstream.

Instead of using the file offset in the debug file.

This fixes a regression from 00a3423492bc90be ("perf symbols: Make
dso__load_bfd_symbols() load PE files from debug cache only"), causing
incorrect symbol resolution when debug file have been stripped from
non-debug sections (in which case its .text section is empty and doesn't
have any file position).

The debug files could also be created with a different file alignment,
and have different file positions from the mmap-ed binary, or have the
section reordered.

This instead looks for the file image base, using the corresponding bfd
*ABS* symbols. As PE symbols only have 4 bytes, it also needs to keep
.text section vma high bits.
