[ Upstream commit b92675f4a9c02dd78052645597dac9e270679ddf ]

While tracing a program that calls isatty(3), I noticed that strace
reported TCGETS for the request argument of the underlying ioctl(2)
syscall while perf trace reported TCSETS. strace is corrrect. The bug in
perf was due to the tty ioctl beauty table starting at 0x5400 rather
than 0x5401.

Committer testing:

  Using augmented_raw_syscalls.o and settings to make 'perf trace'
  use strace formatting, i.e. with this in ~/.perfconfig

  # cat ~/.perfconfig
  [trace]
	add_events = /home/acme/git/linux/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.c
	show_zeros = yes
	show_duration = no
	no_inherit = yes
	show_timestamp = no
	show_arg_names = no
	args_alignment = 40
	show_prefix = yes

  # strace -e ioctl stty &gt; /dev/null
  ioctl(0, TCGETS, {B38400 opost isig icanon echo ...}) = 0
  ioctl(1, TIOCGWINSZ, 0x7fff8a9b0860)    = -1 ENOTTY (Inappropriate ioctl for device)
  ioctl(1, TCGETS, 0x7fff8a9b0540)        = -1 ENOTTY (Inappropriate ioctl for device)
  +++ exited with 0 +++
  #

Before:

  # perf trace -e ioctl stty &gt; /dev/null
  ioctl(0, TCSETS, 0x7fff2cf79f20)        = 0
  ioctl(1, TIOCSWINSZ, 0x7fff2cf79f40)    = -1 ENOTTY (Inappropriate ioctl for device)
  ioctl(1, TCSETS, 0x7fff2cf79c20)        = -1 ENOTTY (Inappropriate ioctl for device)
  #

After:

  # perf trace -e ioctl stty &gt; /dev/null
  ioctl(0, TCGETS, 0x7ffed0763920)        = 0
  ioctl(1, TIOCGWINSZ, 0x7ffed0763940)    = -1 ENOTTY (Inappropriate ioctl for device)

<title>libperf: Fix alignment trap with xyarray contents in 'perf stat'</title>

[ Upstream commit d9c5c083416500e95da098c01be092b937def7fa ]

Following the patch 'perf stat: Fix --no-scale', an alignment trap
happens in process_counter_values() on ARMv7 platforms due to the
attempt to copy non 64 bits aligned double words (pointed by 'count')
via a NEON vectored instruction ('vld1' with 64 bits alignment
constraint).

This patch sets a 64 bits alignment constraint on 'contents[]' field in
'struct xyarray' since the 'count' pointer used above points to such a
structure.

[ Upstream commit 4fe94ce1c6ba678b5f12b94bb9996eea4fc99e85 ]

To get the expected output we have to ignore whatever changes the user
has in its ~/.perfconfig file, so set PERF_CONFIG to /dev/null to
achieve that.

Before:

  # egrep 'trace|show_' ~/.perfconfig
  [trace]
  	show_zeros = yes
  	show_duration = no
  	show_timestamp = no
  	show_arg_names = no
  	show_prefix = yes
  # echo $PERF_CONFIG

  # perf test "trace + vfs_getname"
  70: Check open filename arg using perf trace + vfs_getname: FAILED!
  # export PERF_CONFIG=/dev/null
  # perf test "trace + vfs_getname"
  70: Check open filename arg using perf trace + vfs_getname: Ok
  #

After:

  # egrep 'trace|show_' ~/.perfconfig
  [trace]
  	show_zeros = yes
  	show_duration = no
  	show_timestamp = no
  	show_arg_names = no

We had this comment in Documentation/perf_counter/config.c, i.e. since
when we got this from the git sources, but never really did that
getenv("PERF_CONFIG"), do it now as I need to disable whatever
~/.perfconfig root has so that tests parsing tool output are done for
the expected default output or that we specify an alternate config file
that when read will make the tools produce expected output.

[ Upstream commit 8e6e5bea2e34c61291d00cb3f47560341aa84bc3 ]

The events defined in pmu-events JSON are parsed and added into perf
tool. For fixed counters, we handle the encodings between JSON and perf
by using a static array fixed[].

But the fixed[] has missed an important event "cpu_clk_unhalted.core".

For example, on the Tremont platform,

  [root@localhost ~]# perf stat -e cpu_clk_unhalted.core -a
  event syntax error: 'cpu_clk_unhalted.core'
                       \___ parser error

With this patch, the event cpu_clk_unhalted.core can be parsed.

  [root@localhost perf]# ./perf stat -e cpu_clk_unhalted.core -a -vvv

[ Upstream commit 5f5e25f1c7933a6e1673515c0b1d5acd82fea1ed ]

cpu_map__snprint_mask() would write to illegal memory pointed by
zalloc(0) when there is only one cpu.

This patch fixes the calculation and adds sanity check against the input
parameters.

<title>perf ftrace: Fix failure to set cpumask when only one cpu is present</title>

[ Upstream commit cf30ae726c011e0372fd4c2d588466c8b50a8907 ]

The buffer containing the string used to set cpumask is overwritten at
the end of the string later in cpu_map__snprint_mask due to not enough
memory space, when there is only one cpu.

And thus causes the following failure:

  $ perf ftrace ls
  failed to reset ftrace
  $

This patch fixes the calculation of the cpumask string size.

<title>perf bench numa: Fix cpu0 binding</title>

[ Upstream commit 6bbfe4e602691b90ac866712bd4c43c51e546a60 ]

Michael reported an issue with perf bench numa failing with binding to
cpu0 with '-0' option.

  # perf bench numa mem -p 3 -t 1 -P 512 -s 100 -zZcm0 --thp 1 -M 1 -ddd
  # Running 'numa/mem' benchmark:

   # Running main, "perf bench numa numa-mem -p 3 -t 1 -P 512 -s 100 -zZcm0 --thp 1 -M 1 -ddd"
  binding to node 0, mask: 0000000000000001 =&gt; -1
  perf: bench/numa.c:356: bind_to_memnode: Assertion `!(ret)' failed.
  Aborted (core dumped)

This happens when the cpu0 is not part of node0, which is the benchmark
assumption and we can see that's not the case for some powerpc servers.

Using correct node for cpu0 binding.

<title>perf header: Fix use of unitialized value warning</title>

[ Upstream commit 20f9781f491360e7459c589705a2e4b1f136bee9 ]

When building our local version of perf with MSAN (Memory Sanitizer) and
running the perf record command, MSAN throws a use of uninitialized
value warning in "tools/perf/util/util.c:333:6".

This warning stems from the "buf" variable being passed into "write".
It originated as the variable "ev" with the type union perf_event*
defined in the "perf_event__synthesize_attr" function in
"tools/perf/util/header.c".

In the "perf_event__synthesize_attr" function they allocate space with a malloc
call using ev, then go on to only assign some of the member variables before
passing "ev" on as a parameter to the "process" function therefore "ev"
contains uninitialized memory. Changing the malloc call to zalloc to initialize
all the members of "ev" which gets rid of the warning.

To reproduce this warning, build perf by running:
make -C tools/perf CLANG=1 CC=clang EXTRA_CFLAGS="-fsanitize=memory\
 -fsanitize-memory-track-origins"

(Additionally, llvm might have to be installed and clang might have to
be specified as the compiler - export CC=/usr/bin/clang)

then running:
tools/perf/perf record -o - ls / | tools/perf/perf --no-pager annotate\
 -i - --stdio

Please see the cover letter for why false positive warnings may be
generated.
