commit 0e0bf1ea1147fcf74eab19c2d3c853cc3740a72f upstream.

As the code comments in perf_stat_process_counter() say, we calculate
counter's data every interval, and the display code shows ps-&gt;res_stats
avg value. We need to zero the stats for interval mode.

But the current code only zeros the res_stats[0], it doesn't zero the
res_stats[1] and res_stats[2], which are for ena and run of counter.

This patch zeros the whole res_stats[] for interval mode.

Fixes: 51fd2df1e882 ("perf stat: Fix interval output values")

commit 0ada120c883d4f1f6aafd01cf0fbb10d8bbba015 upstream.

libbfd has changed the bfd_section_* macros to inline functions
bfd_section_&lt;field&gt; since 2019-09-18. See below two commits:
  o http://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb-cvs/2019-09/msg00064.html
  o https://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb-cvs/2019-09/msg00072.html

This fix make perf able to build with both old and new libbfd.

[ Upstream commit 11b6e5482e178055ec1f2444b55f2518713809d1 ]

The 'evname' variable can be NULL, as it is checked a few lines back,
check it before using.

commit 85afd35575a3c1a3a905722dde5ee70b49282e70 upstream.

Reportedly, from 19.10 Ubuntu has begun mixing up the location of some
debug symbol files, putting files expected to be in
/usr/lib/debug/usr/lib into /usr/lib/debug/lib instead. Fix by adding
another dso_binary_type.

<title>perf probe: Check address correctness by map instead of _etext</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 2ae5d0d7d8868df7c05c2013c0b9cddd4d40610e upstream.

Since commit 03db8b583d1c ("perf tools: Fix
maps__find_symbol_by_name()") introduced map address range check in
maps__find_symbol_by_name(), we can not get "_etext" from kernel map
because _etext is placed on the edge of the kernel .text section (=
kernel map in perf.)

To fix this issue, this checks the address correctness by map address
range information (map-&gt;start and map-&gt;end) instead of using _etext
address.

This can cause an error if the target inlined function is embedded in
both __init function and normal function.

For exaample, request_resource() is a normal function but also embedded
in __init reserve_setup(). In this case, the probe point in
reserve_setup() must be skipped.

However, without this fix, it failes to setup all probe points:

  # ./perf probe -v request_resource
  probe-definition(0): request_resource
  symbol:request_resource file:(null) line:0 offset:0 return:0 lazy:(null)
  0 arguments

  reserve_setup is out of .text, skip it.
  Added new events:
    (null):(null)        (on request_resource)
    probe:request_resource (on request_resource)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

  	perf record -e probe:request_resource -aR sleep 1

commit 80526491c2ca6abc028c0f0dbb0707a1f35fb18a upstream.

Fix to check kprobe blacklist address correctly with relocated address
by adjusting debuginfo address.

Since the address in the debuginfo is same as objdump, it is different
from relocated kernel address with KASLR.  Thus, 'perf probe' always
misses to catch the blacklisted addresses.

Without this patch, 'perf probe' can not detect the blacklist addresses
on a KASLR enabled kernel.

  # perf probe kprobe_dispatcher
  Failed to write event: Invalid argument
    Error: Failed to add events.
  #

With this patch, it correctly shows the error message.

  # perf probe kprobe_dispatcher
  kprobe_dispatcher is blacklisted function, skip it.
  Probe point 'kprobe_dispatcher' not found.
    Error: Failed to add events.

commit f41ebe9defacddeae96a872a33f0f22ced0bfcef upstream.

When a probe point is expanded to several places (like inlined) and if
some of them are skipped because of blacklisted or __init function,
those trace_events has no event name. It must be skipped while showing
results.

Without this fix, you can see "(null):(null)" on the list,

  # ./perf probe request_resource
  reserve_setup is out of .text, skip it.
  Added new events:
    (null):(null)        (on request_resource)
    probe:request_resource (on request_resource)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

  	perf record -e probe:request_resource -aR sleep 1

  #

With this fix, it is ignored:

  # ./perf probe request_resource
  reserve_setup is out of .text, skip it.
  Added new events:
    probe:request_resource (on request_resource)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

  	perf record -e probe:request_resource -aR sleep 1

[ Upstream commit c6aab66a728b6518772c74bd9dff66e1a1c652fd ]

Since the commit 6a13a0d7b4d1 ("ftrace/kprobe: Show the maxactive number
on kprobe_events") introduced to show the instance number of kretprobe
events, the length of the 1st format of the kprobe event will not 1, but
it can be longer.  This caused a parser error in perf-probe.

Skip the length check the 1st format of the kprobe event to accept this
instance number.

Without this fix:

  # perf probe -a vfs_read%return
  Added new event:
    probe:vfs_read__return (on vfs_read%return)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

  	perf record -e probe:vfs_read__return -aR sleep 1

  # perf probe -l
  Semantic error :Failed to parse event name: r16:probe/vfs_read__return
    Error: Failed to show event list.

And with this fixes:

  # perf probe -a vfs_read%return
  ...
  # perf probe -l
    probe:vfs_read__return (on vfs_read%return)

<title>perf tools: Support Python 3.8+ in Makefile</title>

commit b9c9ce4e598e012ca7c1813fae2f4d02395807de upstream.

Python 3.8 changed the output of 'python-config --ldflags' to no longer
include the '-lpythonX.Y' flag (this apparently fixed an issue loading
modules with a statically linked Python executable).  The libpython
feature check in linux/build/feature fails if the Python library is not
included in FEATURE_CHECK_LDFLAGS-libpython variable.

This adds a check in the Makefile to determine if PYTHON_CONFIG accepts
the '--embed' flag and passes that flag alongside '--ldflags' if so.

tools/perf is the only place the libpython feature check is used.

<title>perf map: Fix off by one in strncpy() size argument</title>

commit db2c549407d4a76563c579e4768f7d6d32afefba upstream.

This patch fixes an off-by-one error in strncpy size argument in
tools/perf/util/map.c. The issue is that in:

        strncmp(filename, "/system/lib/", 11)

the passed string literal: "/system/lib/" has 12 bytes (without the NULL
byte) and the passed size argument is 11. As a result, the logic won't
match the ending "/" byte and will pass filepaths that are stored in
other directories e.g. "/system/libmalicious/bin" or just
"/system/libmalicious".

This functionality seems to be present only on Android. I assume the
/system/ directory is only writable by the root user, so I don't think
this bug has much (or any) security impact.
