[ Upstream commit 91cea6be90e436c55cde8770a15e4dac9d3032d0 ]

When genelf was introduced it tested for HAVE_LIBCRYPTO not
HAVE_LIBCRYPTO_SUPPORT, which is the define the feature test for openssl
defines, fix it.

This also adds disables the deprecation warning, someone has to fix this
to build with openssl 3.0 before the warning becomes a hard error.

[ Upstream commit 6d518ac7be6223811ab947897273b1bbef846180 ]

The perf jvmti agent doesn't create program headers, in this case
fallback on section headers as happened previously.

Committer notes:

To test this, from a public post by Ian:

1) download a Java workload dacapo-9.12-MR1-bach.jar from
https://sourceforge.net/projects/dacapobench/

2) build perf such as "make -C tools/perf O=/tmp/perf NO_LIBBFD=1" it
should detect Java and create /tmp/perf/libperf-jvmti.so

3) run perf with the jvmti agent:

  perf record -k 1 java -agentpath:/tmp/perf/libperf-jvmti.so -jar dacapo-9.12-MR1-bach.jar -n 10 fop

4) run perf inject:

  perf inject -i perf.data -o perf-injected.data -j

5) run perf report

  perf report -i perf-injected.data | grep org.apache.fop

With this patch reverted I see lots of symbols like:

     0.00%  java             jitted-388040-4656.so  [.] org.apache.fop.fo.FObj.bind(org.apache.fop.fo.PropertyList)

With the patch (2d86612aacb7805f ("perf symbol: Correct address for bss
symbols")) I see lots of:

  dso__load_sym_internal: failed to find program header for symbol:
  Lorg/apache/fop/fo/FObj;bind(Lorg/apache/fop/fo/PropertyList;)V
  st_value: 0x40

[ Upstream commit ace3e31e653e79cae9b047e85f567e6b44c98532 ]

This reverts commit Fixes: ac2dc29edd21f9ec ("perf stat: Add default
hybrid events")

Between this patch and the reverted patch, the commit 6c1912898ed21bef
("perf parse-events: Rename parse_events_error functions") and the
commit 07eafd4e053a41d7 ("perf parse-event: Add init and exit to
parse_event_error") clean up the parse_events_error_*() codes. The
related change is also reverted.

The reverted patch is hard to be extended to support new default events,
e.g., Topdown events, and the existing "--detailed" option on a hybrid
platform.

A new solution will be proposed in the following patch to enable the
perf stat default on a hybrid platform.

[ Upstream commit 87abe344cd280802f431998fabfd35d2d340ca90 ]

Perf test case 83: perf stat CSV output linter might fail
on s390.
The reason for this is the output of the command

 ./perf stat -x, -A -a --no-merge true

which depends on a .config file setting. When CONFIG_SCHED_TOPOLOGY
is set, the output of above perf command is

   CPU0,1.50,msec,cpu-clock,1502781,100.00,1.052,CPUs utilized

When CONFIG_SCHED_TOPOLOGY is *NOT* set the output of above perf
command is

   0.95,msec,cpu-clock,949800,100.00,1.060,CPUs utilized

Fix the test case to accept both output formats.

Output before:
 # perf test 83
 83: perf stat CSV output linter       : FAILED!
 #

Output after:
 # ./perf test 83
 83: perf stat CSV output linter       : Ok

<title>perf bpf: Remove undefined behavior from bpf_perf_object__next()</title>

<id>9a241805673ec0a826b7ddf84b00f4e03adb0a5e</id>
<content type='text'>
bpf_perf_object__next() folded the last element in the list test with the
empty list test. However, this meant that offsets were computed against
null and that a struct list_head was compared against a 'struct
bpf_perf_object'.

Working around this with clang's undefined behavior sanitizer required
-fno-sanitize=null and -fno-sanitize=object-size.

Remove the undefined behavior by using the regular Linux list APIs and
handling the starting case separately from the end testing case.

Looking at uses like bpf_perf_object__for_each(), as the constant NULL
or non-NULL argument can be constant propagated, the code is no less
efficient.

<title>perf symbol: Skip symbols if SHF_ALLOC flag is not set</title>

Some symbols are observed with the 'st_value' field zeroed.  E.g.
libc.so.6 in Ubuntu contains a symbol '__evoke_link_warning_getwd' which
resides in the '.gnu.warning.getwd' section.

Unlike normal sections, such kind of sections are used for linker
warning when a file calls deprecated functions, but they are not part of
memory images, the symbols in these sections should be dropped.

This patch checks the section attribute SHF_ALLOC bit, if the bit is not
set, it skips symbols to avoid spurious ones.

<title>perf symbol: Correct address for bss symbols</title>

<id>2d86612aacb7805f72873691a2644d7279ed0630</id>
<content type='text'>
When using 'perf mem' and 'perf c2c', an issue is observed that tool
reports the wrong offset for global data symbols.  This is a common
issue on both x86 and Arm64 platforms.

Let's see an example, for a test program, below is the disassembly for
its .bss section which is dumped with objdump:

  ...

  Disassembly of section .bss:

  0000000000004040 &lt;completed.0&gt;:
  	...

  0000000000004080 &lt;buf1&gt;:
  	...

  00000000000040c0 &lt;buf2&gt;:
  	...

  0000000000004100 &lt;thread&gt;:
  	...

First we used 'perf mem record' to run the test program and then used
'perf --debug verbose=4 mem report' to observe what's the symbol info
for 'buf1' and 'buf2' structures.

  # ./perf mem record -e ldlat-loads,ldlat-stores -- false_sharing.exe 8
  # ./perf --debug verbose=4 mem report
    ...
    dso__load_sym_internal: adjusting symbol: st_value: 0x40c0 sh_addr: 0x4040 sh_offset: 0x3028
    symbol__new: buf2 0x30a8-0x30e8
    ...
    dso__load_sym_internal: adjusting symbol: st_value: 0x4080 sh_addr: 0x4040 sh_offset: 0x3028
    symbol__new: buf1 0x3068-0x30a8
    ...

The perf tool relies on libelf to parse symbols, in executable and
shared object files, 'st_value' holds a virtual address; 'sh_addr' is
the address at which section's first byte should reside in memory, and
'sh_offset' is the byte offset from the beginning of the file to the
first byte in the section.  The perf tool uses below formula to convert
a symbol's memory address to a file address:

  file_address = st_value - sh_addr + sh_offset
                    ^
                    ` Memory address

We can see the final adjusted address ranges for buf1 and buf2 are
[0x30a8-0x30e8) and [0x3068-0x30a8) respectively, apparently this is
incorrect, in the code, the structure for 'buf1' and 'buf2' specifies
compiler attribute with 64-byte alignment.

The problem happens for 'sh_offset', libelf returns it as 0x3028 which
is not 64-byte aligned, combining with disassembly, it's likely libelf
doesn't respect the alignment for .bss section, therefore, it doesn't
return the aligned value for 'sh_offset'.

Suggested by Fangrui Song, ELF file contains program header which
contains PT_LOAD segments, the fields p_vaddr and p_offset in PT_LOAD
segments contain the execution info.  A better choice for converting
memory address to file address is using the formula:

  file_address = st_value - p_vaddr + p_offset

This patch introduces elf_read_program_header() which returns the
program header based on the passed 'st_value', then it uses the formula
above to calculate the symbol file address; and the debugging log is
updated respectively.

After applying the change:

  # ./perf --debug verbose=4 mem report
    ...
    dso__load_sym_internal: adjusting symbol: st_value: 0x40c0 p_vaddr: 0x3d28 p_offset: 0x2d28
    symbol__new: buf2 0x30c0-0x3100
    ...
    dso__load_sym_internal: adjusting symbol: st_value: 0x4080 p_vaddr: 0x3d28 p_offset: 0x2d28
    symbol__new: buf1 0x3080-0x30c0
    ...

The mainline kernel can be used for relative old distros, e.g. RHEL 7.
The distro doesn't upgrade from python2 to python3, this causes the
building error that the python script is not python2 compliant.

To fix the building failure, this patch changes from the python f-string
format to traditional string format.

On powerpc, 'perf trace' is crashing with a SIGSEGV when trying to
process a perf.data file created with 'perf trace record -p':

  #0  0x00000001225b8988 in syscall_arg__scnprintf_augmented_string &lt;snip&gt; at builtin-trace.c:1492
  #1  syscall_arg__scnprintf_filename &lt;snip&gt; at builtin-trace.c:1492
  #2  syscall_arg__scnprintf_filename &lt;snip&gt; at builtin-trace.c:1486
  #3  0x00000001225bdd9c in syscall_arg_fmt__scnprintf_val &lt;snip&gt; at builtin-trace.c:1973
  #4  syscall__scnprintf_args &lt;snip&gt; at builtin-trace.c:2041
  #5  0x00000001225bff04 in trace__sys_enter &lt;snip&gt; at builtin-trace.c:2319

That points to the below code in tools/perf/builtin-trace.c:
	/*
	 * If this is raw_syscalls.sys_enter, then it always comes with the 6 possible
	 * arguments, even if the syscall being handled, say "openat", uses only 4 arguments
	 * this breaks syscall__augmented_args() check for augmented args, as we calculate
	 * syscall-&gt;args_size using each syscalls:sys_enter_NAME tracefs format file,
	 * so when handling, say the openat syscall, we end up getting 6 args for the
	 * raw_syscalls:sys_enter event, when we expected just 4, we end up mistakenly
	 * thinking that the extra 2 u64 args are the augmented filename, so just check
	 * here and avoid using augmented syscalls when the evsel is the raw_syscalls one.
	 */
	if (evsel != trace-&gt;syscalls.events.sys_enter)
		augmented_args = syscall__augmented_args(sc, sample, &amp;augmented_args_size, trace-&gt;raw_augmented_syscalls_args_size);

As the comment points out, we should not be trying to augment the args
for raw_syscalls. However, when processing a perf.data file, we are not
initializing those properly. Fix the same.
