commit 80f62589fa52f530cffc50e78c0b5a2ae572d61e upstream.

When the jump instruction is displayed at the row 0 in annotate view,
the arrow is broken. An example:

 16.86 │   ┌──je     82
  0.01 │      movsd  (%rsp),%xmm0
       │      movsd  0x8(%rsp),%xmm4
       │      movsd  0x8(%rsp),%xmm1
       │      movsd  (%rsp),%xmm3
       │      divsd  %xmm4,%xmm0
       │      divsd  %xmm3,%xmm1
       │      movsd  (%rsp),%xmm2
       │      addsd  %xmm1,%xmm0
       │      addsd  %xmm2,%xmm0
       │      movsd  %xmm0,(%rsp)
       │82:   sub    $0x1,%ebx
 83.03 │    ↑ jne    38
       │      add    $0x10,%rsp
       │      xor    %eax,%eax
       │      pop    %rbx
       │    ← retq

The patch increments the row number before checking with 0.

<title>perf trace: Use the syscall raw_syscalls:sys_enter timestamp</title>

<content type='text'>
commit ecf1e2253ea79c6204f4d6a5e756e8fb4aed5a7e upstream.

Instead of the one when another syscall takes place while another is being
processed (in another CPU, but we show it serialized, so need to "interrupt"
the other), and also when finally showing the sys_enter + sys_exit + duration,
where we were showing the sample-&gt;time for the sys_exit, duh.

Before:

  # perf trace sleep 1
  &lt;SNIP&gt;
     0.373 (   0.001 ms): close(fd: 3                   ) = 0
  1000.626 (1000.211 ms): nanosleep(rqtp: 0x7ffd6ddddfb0) = 0
  1000.653 (   0.003 ms): close(fd: 1                   ) = 0
  1000.657 (   0.002 ms): close(fd: 2                   ) = 0
  1000.667 (   0.000 ms): exit_group(                   )
  #

After:

  # perf trace sleep 1
  &lt;SNIP&gt;
     0.336 (   0.001 ms): close(fd: 3                   ) = 0
     0.373 (1000.086 ms): nanosleep(rqtp: 0x7ffe303e9550) = 0
  1000.481 (   0.002 ms): close(fd: 1                   ) = 0
  1000.485 (   0.001 ms): close(fd: 2                   ) = 0

<title>perf symbols: Fixup symbol sizes before picking best ones</title>

commit 432746f8e0b6a82ba832b771afe31abd51af6752 upstream.

When we call symbol__fixup_duplicate() we use algorithms to pick the
"best" symbols for cases where there are various functions/aliases to an
address, and those check zero size symbols, which, before calling
symbol__fixup_end() are _all_ symbols in a just parsed kallsyms file.

So first fixup the end, then fixup the duplicates.

Found while trying to figure out why 'perf test vmlinux' failed, see the
output of 'perf test -v vmlinux' to see cases where the symbols picked
as best for vmlinux don't match the ones picked for kallsyms.

commit f594bae08183fb6b57db55387794ece3e1edf6f6 upstream.

I'm surprised this remained undocumented since at least 2011. And it is
actually a very useful switch, as Steve and I came to realize recently.

Add the text from

  2cba3ffb9a9d ("perf stat: Add -d -d and -d -d -d options to show more CPU events")

which added the incrementing aspect to -d.

commit f594bae08183fb6b57db55387794ece3e1edf6f6 upstream.

I'm surprised this remained undocumented since at least 2011. And it is
actually a very useful switch, as Steve and I came to realize recently.

Add the text from

  2cba3ffb9a9d ("perf stat: Add -d -d and -d -d -d options to show more CPU events")

which added the incrementing aspect to -d.

<title>efi: Make efivarfs entries immutable by default</title>

commit ed8b0de5a33d2a2557dce7f9429dca8cb5bc5879 upstream.

"rm -rf" is bricking some peoples' laptops because of variables being
used to store non-reinitializable firmware driver data that's required
to POST the hardware.

These are 100% bugs, and they need to be fixed, but in the mean time it
shouldn't be easy to *accidentally* brick machines.

We have to have delete working, and picking which variables do and don't
work for deletion is quite intractable, so instead make everything
immutable by default (except for a whitelist), and make tools that
aren't quite so broad-spectrum unset the immutable flag.

<title>tools lib traceevent: Fix output of %llu for 64 bit values read on 32 bit machines</title>

commit 32abc2ede536aae52978d6c0a8944eb1df14f460 upstream.

When a long value is read on 32 bit machines for 64 bit output, the
parsing needs to change "%lu" into "%llu", as the value is read
natively.

Unfortunately, if "%llu" is already there, the code will add another "l"
to it and fail to parse it properly.
