commit 6cef7dab3e2e5cb23a13569c3880c0532326748c upstream.

User space tasks can migrate between CPUs, so when tracing selected CPUs,
system-wide sideband is still needed, however evlist-&gt;core.has_user_cpus
is not set in the hybrid case, so check the target cpu_list instead.

<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().

<title>perf: Skip and warn on unknown format 'configN' attrs</title>

commit e552b7be12ed62357df84392efa525ecb01910fb upstream.

If the kernel exposes a new perf_event_attr field in a format attr, perf
will return an error stating the specified PMU can't be found. For
example, a format attr with 'config3:0-63' causes an error as config3 is
unknown to perf. This causes a compatibility issue between a newer
kernel with older perf tool.

Before this change with a kernel adding 'config3' I get:

  $ perf record -e arm_spe// -- true
  event syntax error: 'arm_spe//'
                       \___ Cannot find PMU `arm_spe'. Missing kernel support?
  Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

   Usage: perf record [&lt;options&gt;] [&lt;command&gt;]
      or: perf record [&lt;options&gt;] -- &lt;command&gt; [&lt;options&gt;]

      -e, --event &lt;event&gt;   event selector. use 'perf list' to list
  available events

After this change, I get:

  $ perf record -e arm_spe// -- true
  WARNING: 'arm_spe_0' format 'inv_event_filter' requires 'perf_event_attr::config3' which is not supported by this version of perf!
  [ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.091 MB perf.data ]

To support unknown configN formats, rework the YACC implementation to
pass any config[0-9]+ format to perf_pmu__new_format() to handle with a
warning.

Older clangs don't know about -Wunused-but-set-variable, so we need to
add -Wno-unknown-warning-option to avoid this:

<title>perf tests record: Fail the test if the 'errs' counter is not zero</title>

<id>25c5e67cdf744cbb93fd06647611d3036218debe</id>
<content type='text'>
We were just checking for the 'err' variable, when we should really see
if there was some of the many checked errors that don't stop the test
right away.

Detected with clang 15.0.0:

  44    75.23 fedora:37       : FAIL clang version 15.0.0 (Fedora 15.0.0-2.fc37)

    tests/perf-record.c:68:16: error: variable 'errs' set but not used [-Werror,-Wunused-but-set-variable]
            int err = -1, errs = 0, i, wakeups = 0;
                          ^
    1 error generated.

The patch introducing this 'perf test' entry had that check:

  +       return (err &lt; 0 || errs &gt; 0) ? -1 : 0;

But at some point we lost that:

  -	  return (err &lt; 0 || errs &gt; 0) ? -1 : 0;
  +	  if (err == -EACCES)
  +               return TEST_SKIP;
  +	  if (err &lt; 0)
  +               return TEST_FAIL;
  +	  return TEST_OK

Put it back.

  +       return (err &lt; 0 || errs &gt; 0) ? -1 : 0;

But at some point we lost that:

  -	  return (err &lt; 0 || errs &gt; 0) ? -1 : 0;
  +	  if (err == -EACCES)
  +               return TEST_SKIP;
  +	  if (err &lt; 0)
  +               return TEST_FAIL;
  +	  return TEST_OK

Put it back.

The test case 87 ("perf record tests") failed on hybrid systems,the event
"cpu/br_inst_retired.near_call/p" is only for non-hybrid system. Correct
the test event to support both non-hybrid and hybrid systems.

Before:

  # ./perf test 87
  87: perf record tests                                   : FAILED!

After:

  # ./perf test 87
  87: perf record tests                                   : Ok

<title>perf arm-spe: augment the data source type with neoverse_spe list</title>

<content type='text'>
When synthesizing event with SPE data source, commit 4e6430cbb1a9("perf
arm-spe: Use SPE data source for neoverse cores") augment the type with
source information by MIDR. However, is_midr_in_range only compares the
first entry in neoverse_spe.

Change is_midr_in_range to is_midr_in_range_list to traverse the
neoverse_spe array so that all neoverse cores synthesize event with data
source packet.

<title>perf tests vmlinux-kallsyms: Update is_ignored_symbol function to match the kernel ignored list</title>

The testcase “vmlinux-kallsyms.c” fails in powerpc.

	vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms: FAILED!

This test look at the symbols in the vmlinux DSO and check if we find
all of them in the kallsyms dso.

But from the powerpc logs , observed that the failure happens for:

	ERR : 0xc0000000000fe9c8: .Lmfspr_table not on kallsyms
	ERR : 0xc0000000001009c8: .Lmtspr_table not on kallsyms

These are labels ( with .L) in the source code and has to be ignored.
Reference code with .Lmtspr_table: arch/powerpc/xmon/spr_access.S

The testcases invokes is_ignored_symbol() function to ignore hidden
symbols in the dso like local symbols. This function is adapted from
is_ignored_symbol() kernel function in code: scripts/kallsyms.c . The
kernel function got some updates which is not reflected in the testcase
function and the new updates also handles ignoring "labels".

Below is the changes that went in the kernel function.

	 /* Symbol names that begin with the following are ignored.*/
	 static const char * const ignored_prefixes[] = {
	 		"$",			/* local symbols for ARM, MIPS, etc. */
	-		".LASANPC",		/* s390 kasan local symbols */
	+		".L",			/* local labels, .LBB,.Ltmpxxx,.L__unnamed_xx,.LASANPC, etc. */
	 		"__crc_",		/* modversions */
	 		"__efistub_",		/* arm64 EFI stub namespace */
	-		"__kvm_nvhe_",		/* arm64 non-VHE KVM namespace */
	+		"__kvm_nvhe_$",		/* arm64 local symbols in non-VHE KVM namespace */
	+		"__kvm_nvhe_.L",	/* arm64 local symbols in non-VHE KVM namespace */
	 		"__AArch64ADRPThunk_",	/* arm64 lld */
	 		"__ARMV5PILongThunk_",	/* arm lld */
	 		"__ARMV7PILongThunk_",

This change is part of below commits and will handle the
symbols with “.L”

commit d4c858643263 ("kallsyms: ignore all local labels prefixed by '.L'")
commit 6ccf9cb557bd ("KVM: arm64: Symbolize the nVHE HYP addresses")

Update the testcase function to include the new changes.
