commit af8490eb2b33684e26a0a927a9d93ae43cd08890 upstream.

The test case 'Read backward ring buffer' failed on 32-bit architectures
which were found by LKFT perf testing.  The test failed on arm32 x15
device, qemu_arm32, qemu_i386, and found intermittent failure on i386;
the failure log is as below:

  50: Read backward ring buffer                  :
  --- start ---
  test child forked, pid 510
  Using CPUID GenuineIntel-6-9E-9
  mmap size 1052672B
  mmap size 8192B
  Finished reading overwrite ring buffer: rewind
  free(): invalid next size (fast)
  test child interrupted
  ---- end ----
  Read backward ring buffer: FAILED!

The log hints there have issue for memory usage, thus free() reports
error 'invalid next size' and directly exit for the case.  Finally, this
issue is root caused as out of bounds memory access for the data array
'evsel-&gt;id'.

The backward ring buffer test invokes do_test() twice.  'evsel-&gt;id' is
allocated at the first call with the flow:

  test__backward_ring_buffer()
    `-&gt; do_test()
	  `-&gt; evlist__mmap()
	        `-&gt; evlist__mmap_ex()
	              `-&gt; perf_evsel__alloc_id()

So 'evsel-&gt;id' is allocated with one item, and it will be used in
function perf_evlist__id_add():

   evsel-&gt;id[0] = id
   evsel-&gt;ids   = 1

At the second call for do_test(), it skips to initialize 'evsel-&gt;id'
and reuses the array which is allocated in the first call.  But
'evsel-&gt;ids' contains the stale value.  Thus:

   evsel-&gt;id[1] = id    -&gt; out of bound access
   evsel-&gt;ids   = 2

To fix this issue, we will use evlist__open() and evlist__close() pair
functions to prepare and cleanup context for evlist; so 'evsel-&gt;id' and
'evsel-&gt;ids' can be initialized properly when invoke do_test() and avoid
the out of bounds memory access.

[ Upstream commit 5172672da02e483d9b3c4d814c3482d0c8ffb1a6 ]

The 'len' returned by grab_bb() includes an extra MAXINSN bytes to allow
for the last instruction, so the the final 'offs' will not be 'len'.
Fix the error condition logic accordingly.

Prior to version 3.23 SQLite does not support TRUE or FALSE, so always

====================
pull-request: bpf 2019-11-02

The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net* tree.

We've added 6 non-merge commits during the last 6 day(s) which contain
a total of 8 files changed, 35 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-).

The main changes are:

1) Fix ppc BPF JIT's tail call implementation by performing a second pass
   to gather a stable JIT context before opcode emission, from Eric Dumazet.

2) Fix build of BPF samples sys_perf_event_open() usage to compiled out
   unavailable test_attr__{enabled,open} checks. Also fix potential overflows
   in bpf_map_{area_alloc,charge_init} on 32 bit archs, from Björn Töpel.

3) Fix narrow loads of bpf_sysctl context fields with offset &gt; 0 on big endian

a total of 8 files changed, 35 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-).

The main changes are:

1) Fix ppc BPF JIT's tail call implementation by performing a second pass
   to gather a stable JIT context before opcode emission, from Eric Dumazet.

2) Fix build of BPF samples sys_perf_event_open() usage to compiled out
   unavailable test_attr__{enabled,open} checks. Also fix potential overflows
   in bpf_map_{area_alloc,charge_init} on 32 bit archs, from Björn Töpel.

3) Fix narrow loads of bpf_sysctl context fields with offset &gt; 0 on big endian
   archs like s390x and also improve the test coverage, from Ilya Leoshkevich.

The final sort might get confused when the comparison is done over
bigger numbers than int like for -s time.

Check the following report for longer workloads:

  $ perf report -s time -F time,overhead --stdio

Fix hist_entry__sort() to properly return int64_t and not possible cut
int.

trace_find_next_event() was buggy and pretty much a useless helper. As
there are no more users, just remove it.

<title>perf scripting engines: Iterate on tep event arrays directly</title>
<updated>2019-11-05T11:39:26+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux-stable.git/commit/?id=443b0636ea7386d01dc460b4a4264e125f710b53'/>
<id>443b0636ea7386d01dc460b4a4264e125f710b53</id>
<content type='text'>
Instead of calling a useless (and broken) helper function to get the
next event of a tep event array, just get the array directly and iterate
over it.

Note, the broken part was from trace_find_next_event() which after this
will no longer be used, and can be removed.

Committer notes:

This fixes a segfault when generating python scripts from perf.data
files with multiple tracepoint events, i.e. the following use case is
fixed by this patch:

  # perf record -e sched:* sleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 31 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.031 MB perf.data (9 samples) ]
  # perf script -g python
  Segmentation fault (core dumped)
  #

<title>perf tools: Make usage of test_attr__* optional for perf-sys.h</title>

<id>6bd7cf66578fae18c26d92115058482cc74ca71b</id>
<content type='text'>
For users of perf-sys.h outside perf, e.g. samples/bpf/bpf_load.c, it's
convenient not to depend on test_attr__*.

After commit 91854f9a077e ("perf tools: Move everything related to
sys_perf_event_open() to perf-sys.h"), all users of perf-sys.h will
depend on test_attr__enabled and test_attr__open.

This commit enables a user to define HAVE_ATTR_TEST to zero in order
to omit the test dependency.

The memory @orig_flags is allocated by strdup(), it is freed on the
normal path, but leak to free on the error path.

Fix this by adding free(orig_flags) on the error path.
