commit 6fcd5ddc3b1467b3586972ef785d0d926ae4cdf4 upstream.

Hagen reported broken strings in python3 tracepoint scripts:

  make PYTHON=python3
  perf record -e sched:sched_switch -a -- sleep 5
  perf script --gen-script py
  perf script -s ./perf-script.py

  [..]
  sched__sched_switch      7 563231.759525792        0 swapper   prev_comm=bytearray(b'swapper/7\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00'), prev_pid=0, prev_prio=120, prev_state=, next_comm=bytearray(b'mutex-thread-co\x00'),

The problem is in the is_printable_array function that does not take the
zero byte into account and claim such string as not printable, so the
code will create byte array instead of string.

Committer testing:

[ Upstream commit 002a3d690f95804bdef6b70b26154103518e13d9 ]

Some metrics (such as DRAM_BW_Use) consists of uncore events and
duration_time. For uncore events, counter-&gt;core.system_wide is true. But
for duration_time, counter-&gt;core.system_wide is false so
target.system_wide is set to false.

Then 'enable_on_exec' is set in perf_event_attr of uncore event.  Kernel
will return error when trying to open the uncore event.

This patch skips the duration_time in setup_system_wide then
target.system_wide will be set to true for the evlist of uncore events +
duration_time.

Before (tested on skylake desktop):

  # perf stat -M DRAM_BW_Use -- sleep 1
  Error:
  The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 22 (Invalid argument) for event (arb/event=0x84,umask=0x1/).
  /bin/dmesg | grep -i perf may provide additional information.

After:

  # perf stat -M DRAM_BW_Use -- sleep 1

   Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

                169      arb/event=0x84,umask=0x1/ #     0.00 DRAM_BW_Use
             40,427      arb/event=0x81,umask=0x1/
      1,000,902,197 ns   duration_time

        1.000902197 seconds time elapsed

<title>perf intel-pt: Fix "context_switch event has no tid" error</title>

<id>0ff75bfed10d20d82f11b1ab02a3d6ec54180159</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 7d537a8d2e76bc4fc71e34545ceaa463ac2cd928 ]

A context_switch event can have no tid because pids can be detached from
a task while the task is still running (in do_exit()). Note this won't
happen with per-task contexts because then tracing stops at
perf_event_exit_task()

If a task with no tid gets preempted, or a dying task gets preempted and
its parent releases it, when it subsequently gets switched back in,
Intel PT will not be able to determine what task is running and prints
an error "context_switch event has no tid". However, it is not really an
error because the task is in kernel space and the decoder can continue
to decode successfully. Fix by changing the error to be only a logged
message, and make allowance for tid == -1.

Example:

  Using 5.9-rc4 with Preemptible Kernel (Low-Latency Desktop) e.g.
  $ uname -r
  5.9.0-rc4
  $ grep PREEMPT .config
  # CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE is not set
  # CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY is not set
  CONFIG_PREEMPT=y
  CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT=y
  CONFIG_PREEMPTION=y
  CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU=y
  CONFIG_PREEMPT_NOTIFIERS=y

[ Upstream commit 7d537a8d2e76bc4fc71e34545ceaa463ac2cd928 ]

A context_switch event can have no tid because pids can be detached from
a task while the task is still running (in do_exit()). Note this won't
happen with per-task contexts because then tracing stops at
perf_event_exit_task()

If a task with no tid gets preempted, or a dying task gets preempted and
its parent releases it, when it subsequently gets switched back in,
Intel PT will not be able to determine what task is running and prints
an error "context_switch event has no tid". However, it is not really an
error because the task is in kernel space and the decoder can continue
to decode successfully. Fix by changing the error to be only a logged
message, and make allowance for tid == -1.

Example:

  Using 5.9-rc4 with Preemptible Kernel (Low-Latency Desktop) e.g.
  $ uname -r
  5.9.0-rc4
  $ grep PREEMPT .config
  # CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE is not set
  # CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY is not set
  CONFIG_PREEMPT=y
  CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT=y
  CONFIG_PREEMPTION=y
  CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU=y
  CONFIG_PREEMPT_NOTIFIERS=y

          pid_t child;
          int status = 0;

          child = fork();

                  return 123;

commit 168200b6d6ea0cb5765943ec5da5b8149701f36a upstream.

The variable 'traceid_list' is defined in the header file cs-etm.h,
if multiple C files include cs-etm.h the compiler might complaint for
multiple definition of 'traceid_list'.

To fix multiple definition error, move the definition of 'traceid_list'
into cs-etm.c.

<title>perf top: Fix stdio interface input handling with glibc 2.28+</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 29b4f5f188571c112713c35cc87eefb46efee612 upstream.

Since glibc 2.28 when running 'perf top --stdio', input handling no
longer works, but hitting any key always just prints the "Mapped keys"
help text.

To fix it, call clearerr() in the display_thread() loop to clear any EOF
sticky errors, as instructed in the glibc NEWS file
(https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=blob;f=NEWS):

 * All stdio functions now treat end-of-file as a sticky condition.  If you
   read from a file until EOF, and then the file is enlarged by another
   process, you must call clearerr or another function with the same effect
   (e.g. fseek, rewind) before you can read the additional data.  This
   corrects a longstanding C99 conformance bug.  It is most likely to affect
   programs that use stdio to read interactive input from a terminal.
   (Bug #1190.)

commit dbd660e6b2884b864d2642d930a163d3bcebe4be upstream.

Commit 2d4f27999b88 ("perf data: Add global path holder") missed path
conversion in tests/topology.c, causing the "Session topology" testcase
to "hang" (waits forever for input from stdin) when doing "ssh $VM perf
test".

Can be reproduced by running "cat | perf test topo", and crashed by
replacing cat with true:

  $ true | perf test -v topo
  40: Session topology                                      :
  --- start ---
  test child forked, pid 3638
  templ file: /tmp/perf-test-QPvAch
  incompatible file format
  incompatible file format (rerun with -v to learn more)
  free(): invalid pointer
  test child interrupted
  ---- end ----
  Session topology: FAILED!

Committer testing:

Reproduced the above result before the patch and after it is back
working:

  # true | perf test -v topo

commit dbd660e6b2884b864d2642d930a163d3bcebe4be upstream.

Commit 2d4f27999b88 ("perf data: Add global path holder") missed path
conversion in tests/topology.c, causing the "Session topology" testcase
to "hang" (waits forever for input from stdin) when doing "ssh $VM perf
test".

Can be reproduced by running "cat | perf test topo", and crashed by
replacing cat with true:

  $ true | perf test -v topo
  40: Session topology                                      :
  --- start ---
  test child forked, pid 3638
  templ file: /tmp/perf-test-QPvAch
  incompatible file format
  incompatible file format (rerun with -v to learn more)
  free(): invalid pointer

  ---- end ----

Reproduced the above result before the patch and after it is back
working:

  # true | perf test -v topo

<title>perf parse-events: Use strcmp() to compare the PMU name</title>

<id>1f160738d9a845c46830769f090ae34b8ffd8a41</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 8510895bafdbf7c4dd24c22946d925691135c2b2 ]

A big uncore event group is split into multiple small groups which only
include the uncore events from the same PMU. This has been supported in
the commit 3cdc5c2cb924a ("perf parse-events: Handle uncore event
aliases in small groups properly").

If the event's PMU name starts to repeat, it must be a new event.
That can be used to distinguish the leader from other members.
But now it only compares the pointer of pmu_name
(leader-&gt;pmu_name == evsel-&gt;pmu_name).

If we use "perf stat -M LLC_MISSES.PCIE_WRITE -a" on cascadelakex,
the event list is:

  evsel-&gt;name					evsel-&gt;pmu_name
  ---------------------------------------------------------------
  unc_iio_data_req_of_cpu.mem_write.part0		uncore_iio_4 (as leader)
  unc_iio_data_req_of_cpu.mem_write.part0		uncore_iio_2
  unc_iio_data_req_of_cpu.mem_write.part0		uncore_iio_0
  unc_iio_data_req_of_cpu.mem_write.part0		uncore_iio_5
  unc_iio_data_req_of_cpu.mem_write.part0		uncore_iio_3
  unc_iio_data_req_of_cpu.mem_write.part0		uncore_iio_1
  unc_iio_data_req_of_cpu.mem_write.part1		uncore_iio_4
  ......

For the event "unc_iio_data_req_of_cpu.mem_write.part1" with
"uncore_iio_4", it should be the event from PMU "uncore_iio_4".
It's not a new leader for this PMU.

But if we use "(leader-&gt;pmu_name == evsel-&gt;pmu_name)", the check
would be failed and the event is stored to leaders[] as a new
PMU leader.

So this patch uses strcmp to compare the PMU name between events.

[ Upstream commit 463538a383a27337cb83ae195e432a839a52d639 ]

Commit 5aa98879efe7 ("s390/cpum_sf: prohibit callchain data collection")
prohibits call graph sampling for hardware events on s390. The
information recorded is out of context and does not match.

On s390 this commit now breaks test case 68 Zstd perf.data
compression/decompression.

Therefore omit call graph sampling on s390 in this test.

[ Upstream commit 61f82e3fb697a8e85f22fdec786528af73dc36d1 ]

In the absence of any modules, no "modules" map is created, but there
are other executable pages to map, due to eBPF JIT, kprobe or ftrace.
Map them by recognizing that the first "module" symbol is not
necessarily from a module, and adjust the map accordingly.
