<title>perf test: Fix failure of 'evsel-tp-sched' test on s390</title>

commit 03d309711d687460d1345de8a0363f45b1c8cd11 upstream.

Commit 489338a717a0 ("perf tests evsel-tp-sched: Fix bitwise operator")
causes test case 14 "Parse sched tracepoints fields" to fail on s390.

This test succeeds on x86.

In fact this test now fails on all architectures with type char treated
as type unsigned char.

The root cause is the signed-ness of character arrays in the tracepoints
sched_switch for structure members prev_comm and next_comm.

On s390 the output of:

 [root@m35lp76 perf]# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/format
 name: sched_switch
 ID: 287
 format:
   field:unsigned short common_type; offset:0; size:2;	signed:0;
   ...
   field:char prev_comm[16]; offset:8; size:16;	signed:0;
   ...
   field:char next_comm[16]; offset:40; size:16; signed:0;

reveals the character arrays prev_comm and next_comm are per
default unsigned char and have values in the range of 0..255.

On x86 both fields are signed as this output shows:
 [root@f29]# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/format
 name: sched_switch
 ID: 287
 format:
   field:unsigned short common_type; offset:0; size:2;	signed:0;
   ...
   field:char prev_comm[16]; offset:8; size:16;	signed:1;
   ...
   field:char next_comm[16]; offset:40; size:16; signed:1;

and the character arrays prev_comm and next_comm are per default signed
char and have values in the range of -1..127.  The implementation of
type char is architecture specific.

Since the character arrays in both tracepoints sched_switch and
sched_wakeup should contain ascii characters, simply omit the check for
signedness in the test case.

Output before:

  [root@m35lp76 perf]# ./perf test -F 14
  14: Parse sched tracepoints fields                        :
  --- start ---

  ---- end ----

commit 489338a717a0dfbbd5a3fabccf172b78f0ac9015 upstream.

Notice that the use of the bitwise OR operator '|' always leads to true
in this particular case, which seems a bit suspicious due to the context
in which this expression is being used.

Fix this by using bitwise AND operator '&amp;' instead.

This bug was detected with the help of Coccinelle.

<title>perf parse-events: Fix unchecked usage of strncpy()</title>

commit bd8d57fb7e25e9fcf67a9eef5fa13aabe2016e07 upstream.

The strncpy() function may leave the destination string buffer
unterminated, better use strlcpy() that we have a __weak fallback
implementation for systems without it.

This fixes this warning on an Alpine Linux Edge system with gcc 8.2:

  util/parse-events.c: In function 'print_symbol_events':
  util/parse-events.c:2465:4: error: 'strncpy' specified bound 100 equals destination size [-Werror=stringop-truncation]

commit 4d0f16d059ddb91424480d88473f7392f24aebdc upstream.

The strncpy() function may leave the destination string buffer
unterminated, better use strlcpy() that we have a __weak fallback
implementation for systems without it.

In this case we are actually setting the null byte at the right place,
but since we pass the buffer size as the limit to strncpy() and not
it minus one, gcc ends up warning us about that, see below. So, lets
just switch to the shorter form provided by strlcpy().

This fixes this warning on an Alpine Linux Edge system with gcc 8.2:

  ui/tui/helpline.c: In function 'tui_helpline__push':
  ui/tui/helpline.c:27:2: error: 'strncpy' specified bound 512 equals destination size [-Werror=stringop-truncation]

commit 2f5302533f306d5ee87bd375aef9ca35b91762cb upstream.

The strncpy() function may leave the destination string buffer
unterminated, better use strlcpy() that we have a __weak fallback
implementation for systems without it.

In this specific case this would only happen if fgets() was buggy, as
its man page states that it should read one less byte than the size of
the destination buffer, so that it can put the nul byte at the end of
it, so it would never copy 255 non-nul chars, as fgets reads into the
orig buffer at most 254 non-nul chars and terminates it. But lets just
switch to strlcpy to keep the original intent and silence the gcc 8.2
warning.

This fixes this warning on an Alpine Linux Edge system with gcc 8.2:

  In function 'cpu_model',
      inlined from 'svg_cpu_box' at util/svghelper.c:378:2:
  util/svghelper.c:337:5: error: 'strncpy' output may be truncated copying 255 bytes from a string of length 255 [-Werror=stringop-truncation]

<title>perf help: Remove needless use of strncpy()</title>

commit b6313899f4ed2e76b8375cf8069556f5b94fbff0 upstream.

Since we make sure the destination buffer has at least strlen(orig) + 1,
no need to do a strncpy(dest, orig, strlen(orig)), just use strcpy(dest,
orig).

This silences this gcc 8.2 warning on Alpine Linux:

  In function 'add_man_viewer',
      inlined from 'perf_help_config' at builtin-help.c:284:3:
  builtin-help.c:192:2: error: 'strncpy' output truncated before terminating nul copying as many bytes from a string as its length [-Werror=stringop-truncation]

<title>perf pmu: Suppress potential format-truncation warning</title>

commit 11a64a05dc649815670b1be9fe63d205cb076401 upstream.

Depending on which functions are inlined in util/pmu.c, the snprintf()
calls in perf_pmu__parse_{scale,unit,per_pkg,snapshot}() might trigger a
warning:

  util/pmu.c: In function 'pmu_aliases':
  util/pmu.c:178:31: error: '%s' directive output may be truncated writing up to 255 bytes into a region of size between 0 and 4095 [-Werror=format-truncation=]
    snprintf(path, PATH_MAX, "%s/%s.unit", dir, name);
                               ^~

I found this when trying to build perf from Linux 3.16 with gcc 8.
However I can reproduce the problem in mainline if I force
__perf_pmu__new_alias() to be inlined.

Suppress this by using scnprintf() as has been done elsewhere in perf.

<title>perf tools: Fix python extension build for gcc 8</title>

commit b7a313d84e853049062011d78cb04b6decd12f5c upstream.

The gcc 8 compiler won't compile the python extension code with the
following errors (one example):

  python.c:830:15: error: cast between incompatible  function types from              \
  ‘PyObject * (*)(struct pyrf_evsel *, PyObject *, PyObject *)’                       \
  uct _object * (*)(struct pyrf_evsel *, struct _object *, struct _object *)’} to     \
  ‘PyObject * (*)(PyObject *, PyObject *)’ {aka ‘struct _object * (*)(struct _objeuct \
  _object *)’} [-Werror=cast-function-type]
     .ml_meth  = (PyCFunction)pyrf_evsel__open,

The problem with the PyMethodDef::ml_meth callback is that its type is
determined based on the PyMethodDef::ml_flags value, which we set as
METH_VARARGS | METH_KEYWORDS.

That indicates that the callback is expecting an extra PyObject* arg, and is
actually PyCFunctionWithKeywords type, but the base PyMethodDef::ml_meth type
stays PyCFunction.

Previous gccs did not find this, gcc8 now does. Fixing this by silencing this
warning for python.c build.

Commiter notes:

Do not do that for CC=clang, as it breaks the build in some clang
versions, like the ones in fedora up to fedora27:

  fedora:25:error: unknown warning option '-Wno-cast-function-type'; did you mean '-Wno-bad-function-cast'? [-Werror,-Wunknown-warning-option]
  fedora:26:error: unknown warning option '-Wno-cast-function-type'; did you mean '-Wno-bad-function-cast'? [-Werror,-Wunknown-warning-option]
  fedora:27:error: unknown warning option '-Wno-cast-function-type'; did you mean '-Wno-bad-function-cast'? [-Werror,-Wunknown-warning-option]
  #

those have:

  clang version 3.9.1 (tags/RELEASE_391/final)

The one in rawhide accepts that:

  clang version 6.0.0 (tags/RELEASE_600/final)
