commit 80cc7bb6c104d733bff60ddda09f19139c61507c upstream.

For data collected on machines with front end stalled cycles supported,
such as found on modern AMD CPU families, commit 146540fb545b ("perf
stat: Always separate stalled cycles per insn") introduces a new line in
CSV output with a leading comma that upsets some automated scripts.
Scripts have to use "-e ex_ret_instr" to work around this issue, after
upgrading to a version of perf with that commit.

We could add "if (have_frontend_stalled &amp;&amp; !config-&gt;csv_sep)" to the not
(total &amp;&amp; avg) else clause, to emphasize that CSV users are usually
scripts, and are written to do only what is needed, i.e., they wouldn't
typically invoke "perf stat" without specifying an explicit event list.

But - let alone CSV output - why should users now tolerate a constant
0-reporting extra line in regular terminal output?:

BEFORE:

$ sudo perf stat --all-cpus -einstructions,cycles -- sleep 1

 Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

       181,110,981      instructions              #    0.58  insn per cycle
                                                  #    0.00  stalled cycles per insn
       309,876,469      cycles

       1.002202582 seconds time elapsed

The user would not like to see the now permanent:

  "0.00  stalled cycles per insn"

line fixture, as it gives no useful information.

So this patch removes the printing of the zeroed stalled cycles line
altogether, almost reverting the very original commit fb4605ba47e7
("perf stat: Check for frontend stalled for metrics"), which seems like
it was written to normalize --metric-only column output of common Intel
machines at the time: modern Intel machines have ceased to support the
genericised frontend stalled metrics AFAICT.

AFTER:

$ sudo perf stat --all-cpus -einstructions,cycles -- sleep 1

 Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

       244,071,432      instructions              #    0.69  insn per cycle
       355,353,490      cycles

       1.001862516 seconds time elapsed

Output behaviour when stalled cycles is indeed measured is not affected
(BEFORE == AFTER):

$ sudo perf stat --all-cpus -einstructions,cycles,stalled-cycles-frontend -- sleep 1

 Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

       247,227,799      instructions              #    0.63  insn per cycle

[ Upstream commit c3314a74f86dc00827e0945c8e5039fc3aebaa3c ]

Commit 800d3f561659 ("perf report: Add warning when libunwind not
compiled in") breaks the s390 platform. S390 uses libdw-dwarf-unwind for
call chain unwinding and had no support for libunwind.

So the warning "Please install libunwind development packages during the
perf build." caused the confusion even if the call-graph is displayed
correctly.

This patch adds checking for HAVE_DWARF_SUPPORT, which is set when
libdw-dwarf-unwind is compiled in.

commit c1c8013ec34d7163431d18367808ea40b2e305f8 upstream.

Commit 722ddfde366f ("perf tools: Fix time sorting") changed - correctly
so - hist_entry__sort to return int64. Unfortunately several of the
builtin-c2c.c comparison routines only happened to work due the cast
caused by the wrong return type.

This causes meaningless ordering of both the cacheline list, and the
cacheline details page. E.g a simple:

  perf c2c record -a sleep 3
  perf c2c report

will result in cacheline table like

commit f068435d9bb2d825d59e3c101bc579f09315ee01 upstream.

At some point in the past we needed to make sure we would get the long
name of modules and not just what we get from /proc/modules, but that
need, as described in the cset that introduced the adjustment function:

Fixes: c03d5184f0e9 ("perf machine: Adjust dso-&gt;long_name for offline module")

Without using the buildid-cache:

  # lsmod | grep trusted
  # insmod trusted.ko
  # lsmod | grep trusted
  trusted                24576  0

Its not being used at all.

To further test this I used kvm.ko as the offline module, i.e. removed
if from the buildid-cache by nuking it completely (rm -rf ~/.debug) and
moved it from the normal kernel distro path, removed the modules, stoped
the kvm guest, and then installed it manually, etc.

The filename doesn't come with the path, no point in trying to set the dso-&gt;long_name.

commit f068435d9bb2d825d59e3c101bc579f09315ee01 upstream.

At some point in the past we needed to make sure we would get the long
name of modules and not just what we get from /proc/modules, but that
need, as described in the cset that introduced the adjustment function:

Fixes: c03d5184f0e9 ("perf machine: Adjust dso-&gt;long_name for offline module")

Without using the buildid-cache:

  # lsmod | grep trusted
  # insmod trusted.ko
  # lsmod | grep trusted
  trusted                24576  0
  # strace -e open,openat perf probe -m ./trusted.ko key_seal |&amp; grep trusted

Its not being used at all.

To further test this I used kvm.ko as the offline module, i.e. removed
if from the buildid-cache by nuking it completely (rm -rf ~/.debug) and
moved it from the normal kernel distro path, removed the modules, stoped
the kvm guest, and then installed it manually, etc.

[ Upstream commit b3509b6ed7a79ec49f6b64e4f3b780f259a2a468 ]

My earlier patch to just enable --reltime with --time was a little too
optimistic.  The --time parsing would accept absolute time, which is
very confusing to the user.

Support relative time in --time parsing too. This only works with recent
perf record that records the first sample time. Otherwise we error out.

commit 3714437d3fcc7956cabcb0077f2a506b61160a56 upstream.

The original --reltime patch forbid --time with --reltime.

But it turns out --time doesn't really care about --reltime, because the
relative time is only used at final output, while the time filtering
always works earlier on absolute time.

So just remove the check and allow combining the two options.

commit 07d369857808b7e8e471bbbbb0074a6718f89b31 upstream.

Since there are some DIE which has only ranges instead of the
combination of entrypc/highpc, address verification must use
dwarf_haspc() instead of dwarf_entrypc/dwarf_highpc.

Also, the ranges only DIE will have a partial code in different section
(e.g. unlikely code will be in text.unlikely as "FUNC.cold" symbol). In
that case, we can not use dwarf_entrypc() or die_entrypc(), because the
offset from original DIE can be a minus value.

Instead, this simply gets the symbol and offset from symtab.

Without this patch;

  # perf probe -D clear_tasks_mm_cpumask:1
  Failed to get entry address of clear_tasks_mm_cpumask
    Error: Failed to add events.

And with this patch:

  # perf probe -D clear_tasks_mm_cpumask:1
  p:probe/clear_tasks_mm_cpumask clear_tasks_mm_cpumask+0
  p:probe/clear_tasks_mm_cpumask_1 clear_tasks_mm_cpumask+5
  p:probe/clear_tasks_mm_cpumask_2 clear_tasks_mm_cpumask+8
  p:probe/clear_tasks_mm_cpumask_3 clear_tasks_mm_cpumask+16
  p:probe/clear_tasks_mm_cpumask_4 clear_tasks_mm_cpumask+82

Committer testing:

I managed to reproduce the above:

  [root@quaco ~]# perf probe -D clear_tasks_mm_cpumask:1
  p:probe/clear_tasks_mm_cpumask _text+919968
  p:probe/clear_tasks_mm_cpumask_1 _text+919973
  p:probe/clear_tasks_mm_cpumask_2 _text+919976
  [root@quaco ~]#

But then when trying to actually put the probe in place, it fails if I
use :0 as the offset:

  [root@quaco ~]# perf probe -L clear_tasks_mm_cpumask | head -5
  &lt;clear_tasks_mm_cpumask@/usr/src/debug/kernel-5.2.fc30/linux-5.2.18-200.fc30.x86_64/kernel/cpu.c:0&gt;
        0  void clear_tasks_mm_cpumask(int cpu)
        1  {
        2  	struct task_struct *p;

  [root@quaco ~]# perf probe clear_tasks_mm_cpumask:0
  Probe point 'clear_tasks_mm_cpumask' not found.
    Error: Failed to add events.
  [root@quaco

The next patch is needed to fix this case.

commit 0feba17bd7ee3b7e03d141f119049dcc23efa94e upstream.

We observed an issue that was some extra columns displayed after switching
perf data file in browser. The steps to reproduce:

1. perf record -a -e cycles,instructions -- sleep 3
2. perf report --group
3. In browser, we use hotkey 's' to switch to another perf.data
4. Now in browser, the extra columns 'Self' and 'Children' are displayed.

The issue is setup_sorting() executed again after repeat path, so dimensions
are added again.

This patch checks the last key returned from __cmd_report(). If it's
K_SWITCH_INPUT_DATA, skips the setup_sorting().

commit 55347ec340af401437680fd0e88df6739a967f9f upstream.

Variable names are inconsistent in hists__for_each macro().

Due to this inconsistency, the macro replaces its second argument with
"fmt" regardless of its original name.

So far it works because only "fmt" is passed to the second argument.
However, this behavior is not expected and should be fixed.

commit 58b3bafff8257c6946df5d6aeb215b8ac839ed2a upstream.

In 7fcfa9a2d9 an unintended prefix "Counter:18 Name:" was removed from
the description for L1D_RO_EXCL_WRITES, but the extra name remained in
the description.  Remove it too.
