commit c0b067588a4836b762cfc6a4c83f122ca1dbb93a upstream.

This reverts commit 46d21ec067490ab9cdcc89b9de5aae28786a8b8e.

The tests were made with a specific workload, further tests on a
recently updated fedora 38 system with a system wide perf.data file
shows 'perf report' taking excessive time resolving inlines in vmlinux,
so lets revert this until a full investigation and improvement on the
addr2line support code is made.

commit 833fd800bf56b74d39d71d3f5936dffb3e0409c6 upstream.

The kprobes optimization check can_optimize() calls
insn_is_indirect_jump() to detect indirect jump instructions in
a target function. If any is found, creating an optprobe is disallowed
in the function because the jump could be from a jump table and could
potentially land in the middle of the target optprobe.

With retpolines, insn_is_indirect_jump() additionally looks for calls to
indirect thunks which the compiler potentially used to replace original
jumps. This extra check is however unnecessary because jump tables are
disabled when the kernel is built with retpolines. The same is currently
the case with IBT.

Based on this observation, remove the logic to look for calls to
indirect thunks and skip the check for indirect jumps altogether if the
kernel is built with retpolines or IBT. Remove subsequently the symbols
__indirect_thunk_start and __indirect_thunk_end which are no longer
needed.

Dropping this logic indirectly fixes a problem where the range
[__indirect_thunk_start, __indirect_thunk_end] wrongly included also the
return thunk. It caused that machines which used the return thunk as
a mitigation and didn't have it patched by any alternative ended up not
being able to use optprobes in any regular function.

<title>perf build: Fix library not found error when using CSLIBS</title>

[ Upstream commit 1feece2780ac2f8de45177fe53979726cee4b3d1 ]

-L only specifies the search path for libraries directly provided in the
link line with -l. Because -lopencsd isn't specified, it's only linked
because it's a dependency of -lopencsd_c_api. Dependencies like this are
resolved using the default system search paths or -rpath-link=... rather
than -L. This means that compilation only works if OpenCSD is installed
to the system rather than provided with the CSLIBS (-L) option.

This could be fixed by adding -Wl,-rpath-link=$(CSLIBS) but that is less
conventional than just adding -lopencsd to the link line so that it uses
-L. -lopencsd seems to have been removed in commit ed17b1914978eddb
("perf tools: Drop requirement for libstdc++.so for libopencsd check")
because it was thought that there was a chance compilation would work
even if it didn't exist, but I think that only applies to libstdc++ so
there is no harm to add it back. libopencsd.so and libopencsd_c_api.so
would always exist together.

Testing
=======

The following scenarios now all work:

 * Cross build with OpenCSD installed
 * Cross build using CSLIBS=...
 * Native build with OpenCSD installed
 * Native build using CSLIBS=...
 * Static cross build with OpenCSD installed
 * Static cross build with CSLIBS=...

<title>perf probe: Read DWARF files from the correct CU</title>

commit c66e1c68c13b872505f25ab641c44b77313ee7fe upstream.

After switching from dwarf_decl_file() to die_get_decl_file(), it is not
possible to add probes for certain functions:

  $ perf probe -x /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-logind match_unit_removed
  A function DIE doesn't have decl_line. Maybe broken DWARF?
  A function DIE doesn't have decl_line. Maybe broken DWARF?
  Probe point 'match_unit_removed' not found.
     Error: Failed to add events.

The problem is that die_get_decl_file() uses the wrong CU to search for
the file. elfutils commit e1db5cdc9f has some good explanation for this:

    dwarf_decl_file uses dwarf_attr_integrate to get the DW_AT_decl_file
    attribute. This means the attribute might come from a different DIE
    in a different CU. If so, we need to use the CU associated with the
    attribute, not the original DIE, to resolve the file name.

This patch uses the same source of information as elfutils: use attribute
DW_AT_decl_file and use this CU to search for the file.

commit 56cbeacf143530576905623ac72ae0964f3293a6 upstream.

This patch adds a test to validate that 'perf probe' works for binaries
where DWARF info is split into multiple CUs

[ Upstream commit 5c45b210479bffe068d38902fcdcb52c4c60a264 ]

struct rq is defined in vmlinux.h when the vmlinux.h is generated,
this causes a redefinition failure if it is declared in
lock_contention.bpf.c. Move the definition to vmlinux.h for
consistency with the generated version.

[ Upstream commit e4ef3ef1bc0a3d2535427da78b8095ef657eb474 ]

The task-analyzer.py script (actually every other scripts too) requires
PERF_EXEC_PATH env to find dependent libraries and scripts. For scripts
test to run correctly, it needs to set PERF_EXEC_PATH to the perf tool
source directory.

Instead of blindly update the env, let's check the directory structure
to make sure it points to the correct location.

[ Upstream commit ed4090a22c123b9b33368741253edddc6ff8d18f ]

When it runs multiple times with -r option, it missed to reset the
aggregation counters and the values were added up.  The aggregation
count has the values to be printed in the end.  It should reset the
counters at the beginning of each run.  But the current code does that
only when -I/--interval-print option is given.
