commit d3e2bb4359f70c8b1d09a6f8e2f57240aab0da3f upstream.

Multiple events may have a metric_leader to aggregate into.

This happens for uncore events where, for example, uncore_imc is
expanded into uncore_imc_0, uncore_imc_1, etc.

Such events all have the same metric_id and should aggregate into the
first event.

The change introducing metric_ids had a bug where the metric_id was
compared to itself, creating an always true condition.

Correct this by comparing the event in the metric_evlist and the
metric_leader.

Fixes: ec5c5b3d2c21b3f3 ("perf metric: Encode and use metric-id as qualifier")

<title>perf probe: Fix ppc64 'perf probe add events failed' case</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 4624f199327a704dd1069aca1c3cadb8f2a28c6f upstream.

Because of commit bf794bf52a80c627 ("powerpc/kprobes: Fix kallsyms
lookup across powerpc ABIv1 and ABIv2"), in ppc64 ABIv1, our perf
command eliminates the need to use the prefix "." at the symbol name.

But when the command "perf probe -a schedule" is executed on ppc64
ABIv1, it obtains two symbol address information through /proc/kallsyms,
for example:

  cat /proc/kallsyms | grep -w schedule
  c000000000657020 T .schedule
  c000000000d4fdb8 D schedule

The symbol "D schedule" is not a function symbol, and perf will print:
"p:probe/schedule _text+13958584"Failed to write event: Invalid argument

Therefore, when searching symbols from map and adding probe point for
them, a symbol type check is added. If the type of symbol is not a
function, skip it.

commit 0046686da0ef692a6381260c3aa44291187eafc9 upstream.

Uncore events as group leaders fail in per-thread mode causing exit
errors. Enable system-wide for metricgroup testing. This fixes the HPC
metric group when tested on skylakex.

commit ed17b1914978eddb2b01f2d34577f1c82518c650 upstream.

It's possible to link against libopencsd_c_api without having
libstdc++.so available, only libstdc++.so.6.0.28 (or whatever version is
in use) needs to be available. The same holds true for libopencsd.so.
When -lstdc++ (or -lopencsd) is explicitly passed to the linker however
the .so file must be available.

So wrap adding the dependencies into a check for static linking that
actually requires adding them all. The same construct is already used
for some other tests in the same file to reduce dependencies in the
dynamic linking case.

commit a6e62743621ea29bea461774c0bcc68e5de59068 upstream.

Commit fdf1e29b6118c18f ("perf expr: Add metric literals for topology.")
fails on s390:

 # ./perf test -Fv 7
   ...
 # FAILED tests/expr.c:173 #num_dies &gt;= #num_packages
   ---- end ----
   Simple expression parser: FAILED!
 #

Investigating this issue leads to these functions:
 build_cpu_topology()
   +--&gt; has_die_topology(void)
        {
           struct utsname uts;

           if (uname(&amp;uts) &lt; 0)
                  return false;
           if (strncmp(uts.machine, "x86_64", 6))
                  return false;
           ....
        }

which always returns false on s390. The caller build_cpu_topology()
checks has_die_topology() return value. On false the
the struct cpu_topology::die_cpu_list is not contructed and has zero
entries. This leads to the failing comparison: #num_dies &gt;= #num_packages.
s390 of course has a positive number of packages.

Fix this by adding s390 architecture to support CPU die list.

Output after:
 # ./perf test -Fv 7
  7: Simple expression parser                                        :

                  return false;
           ....
        }

which always returns false on s390. The caller build_cpu_topology()
checks has_die_topology() return value. On false the
the struct cpu_topology::die_cpu_list is not contructed and has zero
entries. This leads to the failing comparison: #num_dies &gt;= #num_packages.
s390 of course has a positive number of packages.

Fix this by adding s390 architecture to support CPU die list.

Output after:
 # ./perf test -Fv 7

commit 62942e9fda9fd1def10ffcbd5e1c025b3c9eec17 upstream.

Using grep -C with perf script -D can give erroneous results as grep loses
lines due to non-printable characters, for example, below the 0020, 0060
and 0070 lines are missing:

 $ perf script -D | grep -C10 AUX | head

perf's isprint() is a custom implementation from the kernel, but the
kernel's _ctype appears to include characters from Latin-1 Supplement which
is not compatible with, for example, UTF-8. Fix by checking also isascii().

commit 3606c0e1a1050d397ad759a62607e419fd8b0ccb upstream.

A previous patch preventing "attr-&gt;sample_period" values from being
overridden in pfm events changed a related behaviour in arm-spe.

Before said patch:

  perf record -c 10000 -e arm_spe_0// -- sleep 1

Would yield an SPE event with period=10000. After the patch, the period
in "-c 10000" was being ignored because the arm-spe code initializes
sample_period to a non-zero value.

This patch restores the previous behaviour for non-libpfm4 events.

<title>perf annotate: Avoid TUI crash when navigating in the annotation of recursive functions</title>

commit d5962fb7d69073bf68fb647531cfd4f0adf84be3 upstream.

In 'perf report', entering a recursive function from inside of itself
(either directly of indirectly through some other function) results in
calling symbol__annotate2 multiple() times, and freeing the whole
disassembly when exiting from the innermost instance.

The first issue causes the function's disassembly to be duplicated, and
the latter a heap use-after-free (and crash) when trying to access the
disassembly again.

I reproduced the bug on perf 5.11.22 (Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS) and 5.16.rc8
with the following testcase (compile with gcc recursive.c -o recursive).
To reproduce:

- perf record ./recursive
- perf report
- enter fibonacci and annotate it
- move the cursor on one of the "callq fibonacci" instructions and press enter
  - at this point there will be two copies of the function in the disassembly
- go back by pressing q, and perf will crash

  #include &lt;stdio.h&gt;

  int fibonacci(int n)
  {
      if(n &lt;= 2) return 1;
      return fibonacci(n-1) + fibonacci(n-2);
  }

  int main()
  {
      printf("%d\n", fibonacci(40));
  }

This patch addresses the issue by annotating a function and freeing the
associated memory on exit only if no annotation is already present, so
that a recursive function is only annotated on entry.

This reverts commit 08efcb4a638d260ef7fcbae64ecf7ceceb3f1841.

This breaks the build as it will prefer using libbpf-devel header files,
even when not using LIBBPF_DYNAMIC=1, breaking the build.

This was detected on OpenSuSE Tumbleweed with libtraceevent-devel 1.3.0,
as described by Jiri Slaby:

=======================================================================
It breaks build with LIBTRACEEVENT_DYNAMIC and version 1.3.0:
&gt; util/debug.c: In function ‘perf_debug_option’:
&gt; util/debug.c:243:17: error: implicit declaration of function
‘tep_set_loglevel’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
&gt;   243 |                 tep_set_loglevel(TEP_LOG_INFO);
&gt;       |                 ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
&gt; util/debug.c:243:34: error: ‘TEP_LOG_INFO’ undeclared (first use in this

&gt; util/debug.c:243:34: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once
for each function it appears in
&gt; util/debug.c:245:34: error: ‘TEP_LOG_DEBUG’ undeclared (first use in this
function)
&gt;   245 |                 tep_set_loglevel(TEP_LOG_DEBUG);
&gt;       |                                  ^~~~~~~~~~~~~
&gt; util/debug.c:247:34: error: ‘TEP_LOG_ALL’ undeclared (first use in this
function)
&gt;   247 |                 tep_set_loglevel(TEP_LOG_ALL);
&gt;       |                                  ^~~~~~~~~~~

It is because the gcc's command line looks like:
gcc
...
-I/home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILD/tools/lib/
...
-DLIBTRACEEVENT_VERSION=65790
...
=======================================================================

The proper way to fix this is more involved and so not suitable for this
late in the 5.16-rc stage.

This reverts commit 08efcb4a638d260ef7fcbae64ecf7ceceb3f1841.

This breaks the build as it will prefer using libbpf-devel header files,
even when not using LIBBPF_DYNAMIC=1, breaking the build.

This was detected on OpenSuSE Tumbleweed with libtraceevent-devel 1.3.0,
as described by Jiri Slaby:

=======================================================================
It breaks build with LIBTRACEEVENT_DYNAMIC and version 1.3.0:
&gt; util/debug.c: In function ‘perf_debug_option’:
&gt; util/debug.c:243:17: error: implicit declaration of function
‘tep_set_loglevel’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
&gt;   243 |                 tep_set_loglevel(TEP_LOG_INFO);
&gt;       |                 ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
&gt; util/debug.c:243:34: error: ‘TEP_LOG_INFO’ undeclared (first use in this
function); did you mean ‘TEP_PRINT_INFO’?
&gt;   243 |                 tep_set_loglevel(TEP_LOG_INFO);
&gt;       |                                  ^~~~~~~~~~~~
&gt;       |                                  TEP_PRINT_INFO
&gt; util/debug.c:243:34: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once
for each function it appears in
&gt; util/debug.c:245:34: error: ‘TEP_LOG_DEBUG’ undeclared (first use in this
function)
&gt;   245 |                 tep_set_loglevel(TEP_LOG_DEBUG);
&gt;       |                                  ^~~~~~~~~~~~~
&gt; util/debug.c:247:34: error: ‘TEP_LOG_ALL’ undeclared (first use in this
function)
&gt;   247 |                 tep_set_loglevel(TEP_LOG_ALL);
&gt;       |                                  ^~~~~~~~~~~

It is because the gcc's command line looks like:
gcc
...
-I/home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILD/tools/lib/
...
-DLIBTRACEEVENT_VERSION=65790
...
=======================================================================

The proper way to fix this is more involved and so not suitable for this
late in the 5.16-rc stage.
