[ Upstream commit e9229d5b6254a75291536f582652c599957344d2 ]

Commit 0cc177cfc95d565e ("perf vendor events arm64: Add Hisi hip08 L3
metrics") add L3 metrics of hip08, but some metrics (IF_BP_MISP_BR_RET,
IF_BP_MISP_BR_RET, IF_BP_MISP_BR_BL) have incorrect event number due to
the mistakes in document, which caused incorrect result. Fix the
incorrect metrics.

[ Upstream commit b92dd11725a7c57f55e148c7d3ce58a86f480575 ]

Testcase stat_all_metrics.sh fails in powerpc:

  90: perf all metrics test : FAILED!

The testcase "stat_all_metrics.sh" verifies perf stat result for all the
metric events present in perf list.  It runs perf metric events with
various commands and expects non-empty metric result.

Incase of powerpc:hv-24x7 events, some of the event count can be 0 based
on system configuration. And if that event used as denominator in divide
equation, it can cause divide by 0 error. The current nest_metric.json
file creating divide by 0 issue for some of the metric events, which
results in failure of the "stat_all_metrics.sh" test case.

Most of the metrics events have cycles or an event which expect to have
a larger value as denominator, so adding 1 to the denominator of the
metric expression as a fix.

Result in powerpc box after this patch changes:

  90: perf all metrics test : Ok

commit cba04f3136b658583adb191556f99d087589c1cc upstream.

For modules, names from kallsyms__parse() contain the module name which
meant that module symbols did not match exactly by name.

Fix by matching the name string up to the separating tab character.

<title>perf: Skip and warn on unknown format 'configN' attrs</title>

[ Upstream commit e552b7be12ed62357df84392efa525ecb01910fb ]

If the kernel exposes a new perf_event_attr field in a format attr, perf
will return an error stating the specified PMU can't be found. For
example, a format attr with 'config3:0-63' causes an error as config3 is
unknown to perf. This causes a compatibility issue between a newer
kernel with older perf tool.

Before this change with a kernel adding 'config3' I get:

  $ perf record -e arm_spe// -- true
  event syntax error: 'arm_spe//'
                       \___ Cannot find PMU `arm_spe'. Missing kernel support?
  Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

   Usage: perf record [&lt;options&gt;] [&lt;command&gt;]
      or: perf record [&lt;options&gt;] -- &lt;command&gt; [&lt;options&gt;]

      -e, --event &lt;event&gt;   event selector. use 'perf list' to list
  available events

After this change, I get:

  $ perf record -e arm_spe// -- true
  WARNING: 'arm_spe_0' format 'inv_event_filter' requires 'perf_event_attr::config3' which is not supported by this version of perf!
  [ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.091 MB perf.data ]

To support unknown configN formats, rework the YACC implementation to
pass any config[0-9]+ format to perf_pmu__new_format() to handle with a
warning.

commit 5a3d47071f0ced0431ef82a5fb6bd077ed9493db upstream.

uClibc segfaulted because NULL was passed as the format to fprintf().

That happened because one of the format strings was missing and
intel_pt_print_info() didn't check that before calling fprintf().

Add the missing format string, and check format is not NULL before calling
fprintf().

Previously the broken modifier causes a usage message to printed but
nothing else.

After:

  $ perf stat -e 'cycles:kk' -a sleep 2
  event syntax error: 'cycles:kk'
                              \___ Bad modifier
  Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

   Usage: perf stat [&lt;options&gt;] [&lt;command&gt;]

      -e, --event &lt;event&gt;   event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events

  $ perf stat -e '{instructions,cycles}:kk' -a sleep 2
  event syntax error: '..ns,cycles}:kk'
                                    \___ Bad modifier

[ Upstream commit 5b427df27b94aec1312cace48a746782a0925c53 ]

/proc/kallsyms and /proc/modules are compared before and after the copy
in order to ensure no changes during the copy.

However /proc/modules also might change due to reference counts changing
even though that does not make any difference.

Any modules loaded or unloaded should be visible in changes to kallsyms,
so it is not necessary to check /proc/modules also anyway.

Remove the comparison checking that /proc/modules is unchanged.

<title>perf stat: Fix BPF program section name</title>

[ Upstream commit 0d77326c3369e255715ed2440a78894ccc98dd69 ]

It seems the recent libbpf got more strict about the section name.
I'm seeing a failure like this:

  $ sudo ./perf stat -a --bpf-counters --for-each-cgroup ^. sleep 1
  libbpf: prog 'on_cgrp_switch': missing BPF prog type, check ELF section name 'perf_events'
  libbpf: prog 'on_cgrp_switch': failed to load: -22
  libbpf: failed to load object 'bperf_cgroup_bpf'
  libbpf: failed to load BPF skeleton 'bperf_cgroup_bpf': -22
  Failed to load cgroup skeleton

The section name should be 'perf_event' (without the trailing 's').
Although it's related to the libbpf change, it'd be better fix the
section name in the first place.
