[ Upstream commit 5b596e0ff0e1852197d4c82d3314db5e43126bf7 ]

To avoid breaking the build on arches where this is not wired up, at
least all the other features should be made available and when using
this specific routine, the "unknown" should point the user/developer to
the need to wire this up on this particular hardware architecture.

<title>perf script: Fix brstackinsn for AUXTRACE</title>

[ Upstream commit 0cd032d3b5fcebf5454315400ab310746a81ca53 ]

brstackinsn must be allowed to be set by the user when AUX area data has
been captured because, in that case, the branch stack might be
synthesized on the fly. This fixes the following error:

Before:

  $ perf record -e '{intel_pt//,cpu/mem_inst_retired.all_loads,aux-sample-size=8192/pp}:u' grep -rqs jhgjhg /boot
  [ perf record: Woken up 19 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 2.274 MB perf.data ]
  $ perf script -F +brstackinsn --xed --itrace=i1usl100 | head
  Display of branch stack assembler requested, but non all-branch filter set
  Hint: run 'perf record -b ...'

After:

  $ perf record -e '{intel_pt//,cpu/mem_inst_retired.all_loads,aux-sample-size=8192/pp}:u' grep -rqs jhgjhg /boot

commit 91e2f539eeda26ab00bd03fae8dc434c128c85ed upstream.

Fix die_walk_lines() to list the function entry line correctly.  Since
the dwarf_entrypc() does not return the entry pc if the DIE has only
range attribute, __die_walk_funclines() fails to list the declaration
line (entry line) in that case.

To solve this issue, this introduces die_entrypc() which correctly
returns the entry PC (the first address range) even if the DIE has only
range attribute. With this fix die_walk_lines() shows the function entry
line is able to probe correctly.

[ Upstream commit bb1835a3b86c73aa534ef6430ad40223728dfbc0 ]

Avoid termination of trace loading in case the last record in the
decompressed buffer partly resides in the following mmaped
PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED record.

In this case NULL value returned by fetch_mmaped_event() means to
proceed to the next mmaped record then decompress it and load compressed
events.

The issue can be reproduced like this:

  $ perf record -z -- some_long_running_workload
  $ perf report --stdio -vv
  decomp (B): 44519 to 163000
  decomp (B): 48119 to 174800

  fetch_mmaped_event: head=0x1ffe0 event-&gt;header_size=0x28, mmap_size=0x20000: fuzzed perf.data?

[ Upstream commit da6cb952a89efe24bb76c4971370d485737a2d85 ]

Filter out instances except for inlined_subroutine and subprogram DIE in
die_walk_instances() and die_is_func_instance().

This fixes an issue that perf probe sets some probes on calling address
instead of a target function itself.

When perf probe walks on instances of an abstruct origin (a kind of
function prototype of inlined function), die_walk_instances() can also
pass a GNU_call_site (a GNU extension for call site) to callback. Since
it is not an inlined instance of target function, we have to filter out
when searching a probe point.

Without this patch, perf probe sets probes on call site address too.This
can happen on some function which is marked "inlined", but has actual
symbol. (I'm not sure why GCC mark it "inlined"):

  # perf probe -D vfs_read
  p:probe/vfs_read _text+2500017
  p:probe/vfs_read_1 _text+2499468
  p:probe/vfs_read_2 _text+2499563
  p:probe/vfs_read_3 _text+2498876
  p:probe/vfs_read_4 _text+2498512
  p:probe/vfs_read_5 _text+2498627

With this patch:

Slightly different results, similar tho:

  # perf probe -D vfs_read
  p:probe/vfs_read _text+2498512

<title>perf probe: Skip end-of-sequence and non statement lines</title>

[ Upstream commit f4d99bdfd124823a81878b44b5e8750b97f73902 ]

Skip end-of-sequence and non-statement lines while walking through lines
list.

The "end-of-sequence" line information means:

 "the current address is that of the first byte after the
  end of a sequence of target machine instructions."
 (DWARF version 4 spec 6.2.2)

This actually means out of scope and we can not probe on it.

On the other hand, the statement lines (is_stmt) means:

 "the current instruction is a recommended breakpoint location.
  A recommended breakpoint location is intended to “represent”
  a line, a statement and/or a semantically distinct subpart
  of a statement."

 (DWARF version 4 spec 6.2.2)

So, non-statement line info also should be skipped.

These can reduce unneeded probe points and also avoid an error.

E.g. without this patch:

  # perf probe -a "clear_tasks_mm_cpumask:1"
  Added new events:
    probe:clear_tasks_mm_cpumask (on clear_tasks_mm_cpumask:1)
    probe:clear_tasks_mm_cpumask_1 (on clear_tasks_mm_cpumask:1)
    probe:clear_tasks_mm_cpumask_2 (on clear_tasks_mm_cpumask:1)
    probe:clear_tasks_mm_cpumask_3 (on clear_tasks_mm_cpumask:1)
    probe:clear_tasks_mm_cpumask_4 (on clear_tasks_mm_cpumask:1)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

  	perf record -e probe:clear_tasks_mm_cpumask_4 -aR sleep 1

  #

This puts 5 probes on one line, but acutally it's not inlined function.
This is because there are many non statement instructions at the
function prologue.

With this patch:

  # perf probe -a "clear_tasks_mm_cpumask:1"
  Added new event:
    probe:clear_tasks_mm_cpumask (on clear_tasks_mm_cpumask:1)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

  	perf record -e probe:clear_tasks_mm_cpumask -aR sleep 1

  #

Now perf-probe skips unneeded addresses.

Slightly different results, but similar:

[ Upstream commit 86c0bf8539e7f46d91bd105e55eda96e0064caef ]

Fix to show calling lines of inlined functions (where an inline function
is called).

die_walk_lines() filtered out the lines inside inlined functions based
on the address. However this also filtered out the lines which call
those inlined functions from the target function.

To solve this issue, check the call_file and call_line attributes and do
not filter out if it matches to the line information.

Without this fix, perf probe -L doesn't show some lines correctly.
(don't see the lines after 17)

  # perf probe -L vfs_read
  &lt;vfs_read@/home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux/fs/read_write.c:0&gt;
        0  ssize_t vfs_read(struct file *file, char __user *buf, size_t count, loff_t *pos)
        1  {
        2         ssize_t ret;

        4         if (!(file-&gt;f_mode &amp; FMODE_READ))
                          return -EBADF;
        6         if (!(file-&gt;f_mode &amp; FMODE_CAN_READ))
                          return -EINVAL;
        8         if (unlikely(!access_ok(buf, count)))
                          return -EFAULT;

       11         ret = rw_verify_area(READ, file, pos, count);
       12         if (!ret) {
       13                 if (count &gt; MAX_RW_COUNT)
                                  count =  MAX_RW_COUNT;
       15                 ret = __vfs_read(file, buf, count, pos);
       16                 if (ret &gt; 0) {
                                  fsnotify_access(file);
                                  add_rchar(current, ret);
                          }

[ Upstream commit 86c0bf8539e7f46d91bd105e55eda96e0064caef ]

Fix to show calling lines of inlined functions (where an inline function
is called).

die_walk_lines() filtered out the lines inside inlined functions based
on the address. However this also filtered out the lines which call
those inlined functions from the target function.

To solve this issue, check the call_file and call_line attributes and do
not filter out if it matches to the line information.

Without this fix, perf probe -L doesn't show some lines correctly.
(don't see the lines after 17)

  # perf probe -L vfs_read
  &lt;vfs_read@/home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux/fs/read_write.c:0&gt;

<title>perf probe: Return a better scope DIE if there is no best scope</title>

[ Upstream commit c701636aeec4c173208697d68da6e4271125564b ]

Make find_best_scope() returns innermost DIE at given address if there
is no best matched scope DIE. Since Gcc sometimes generates intuitively
strange line info which is out of inlined function address range, we
need this fixup.

Without this, sometimes perf probe failed to probe on a line inside an
inlined function:

  # perf probe -D ksys_open:3
  Failed to find scope of probe point.
    Error: Failed to add events.

With this fix, 'perf probe' can probe it:

  # perf probe -D ksys_open:3
  p:probe/ksys_open _text+25707308
  p:probe/ksys_open_1 _text+25710596

<title>perf probe: Skip overlapped location on searching variables</title>

[ Upstream commit dee36a2abb67c175265d49b9a8c7dfa564463d9a ]

Since debuginfo__find_probes() callback function can be called with  the
location which already passed, the callback function must filter out
such overlapped locations.

add_probe_trace_event() has already done it by commit 1a375ae7659a
("perf probe: Skip same probe address for a given line"), but
add_available_vars() doesn't. Thus perf probe -v shows same address
repeatedly as below:

  # perf probe -V vfs_read:18
  Available variables at vfs_read:18
          @&lt;vfs_read+217&gt;
                  char*   buf
                  loff_t* pos
                  ssize_t ret
                  struct file*    file
          @&lt;vfs_read+217&gt;
                  char*   buf
                  loff_t* pos
                  ssize_t ret
                  struct file*    file
          @&lt;vfs_read+226&gt;
                  char*   buf
                  loff_t* pos
                  ssize_t ret
                  struct file*    file

With this fix, perf probe -V shows it correctly:

  # perf probe -V vfs_read:18
  Available variables at vfs_read:18
          @&lt;vfs_read+217&gt;
                  char*   buf

                  struct file*    file
          @&lt;vfs_read+226&gt;
