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 intel-pt: Fix segfault in intel_pt_print_info() with uClibc</title>

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().

[ 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.

[ 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 2d86612aacb7805f72873691a2644d7279ed0630 ]

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
    ...

[ Upstream commit b24192a17337abbf3f44aaa75e15df14a2d0016e ]

The function percent_rmt_hitm_cmp() wrongly uses local HITMs for
sorting remote HITMs.

Since this function is to sort cache lines for remote HITMs, this patch
changes to use 'rmt_hitm' field for correct sorting.

<title>perf jevents: Fix event syntax error caused by ExtSel</title>

[ Upstream commit f4df0dbbe62ee8e4405a57b27ccd54393971c773 ]

In the origin code, when "ExtSel" is 1, the eventcode will change to
"eventcode |= 1 &lt;&lt; 21”. For event “UNC_Q_RxL_CREDITS_CONSUMED_VN0.DRS",
its "ExtSel" is "1", its eventcode will change from 0x1E to 0x20001E,
but in fact the eventcode should &lt;=0x1FF, so this will cause the parse
fail:

  # perf stat -e "UNC_Q_RxL_CREDITS_CONSUMED_VN0.DRS" -a sleep 0.1
  event syntax error: '.._RxL_CREDITS_CONSUMED_VN0.DRS'
                                    \___ value too big for format, maximum is 511

On the perf kernel side, the kernel assumes the valid bits are continuous.
It will adjust the 0x100 (bit 8 for perf tool) to bit 21 in HW.

DEFINE_UNCORE_FORMAT_ATTR(event_ext, event, "config:0-7,21");

So the perf tool follows the kernel side and just set bit8 other than bit21.
