[ Upstream commit 30c04d796b693e22405c38e9b78e9a364e4c77e6 ]

The run_netsocktests will be marked as passed regardless the actual test
result from the ./socket:

    selftests: net: run_netsocktests
    ========================================
    --------------------
    running socket test
    --------------------
    [FAIL]
    ok 1..6 selftests: net: run_netsocktests [PASS]

This is because the test script itself has been successfully executed.
Fix this by exit 1 when the test failed.

<title>tools lib traceevent: Fix missing equality check for strcmp</title>

[ Upstream commit f32c2877bcb068a718bb70094cd59ccc29d4d082 ]

There was a missing comparison with 0 when checking if type is "s64" or
"u64". Therefore, the body of the if-statement was entered if "type" was
"u64" or not "s64", which made the first strcmp() redundant since if
type is "u64", it's not "s64".

If type is "s64", the body of the if-statement is not entered but since
the remainder of the function consists of if-statements which will not
be entered if type is "s64", we will just return "val", which is
correct, albeit at the cost of a few more calls to strcmp(), i.e., it
will behave just as if the if-statement was entered.

If type is neither "s64" or "u64", the body of the if-statement will be
entered incorrectly and "val" returned. This means that any type that is
checked after "s64" and "u64" is handled the same way as "s64" and
"u64", i.e., the limiting of "val" to fit in for example "s8" is never
reached.

This was introduced in the kernel tree when the sources were copied from
trace-cmd in commit f7d82350e597 ("tools/events: Add files to create
libtraceevent.a"), and in the trace-cmd repo in 1cdbae6035cei
("Implement typecasting in parser") when the function was introduced,
i.e., it has always behaved the wrong way.

[ Upstream commit 7c5b019e3a638a5a290b0ec020f6ca83d2ec2aaa ]

Fix buffer overflow observed when running perf test.

The overflow is when trying to evaluate "1ULL &lt;&lt; (64 - 1)" which is
resulting in -9223372036854775808 which overflows the 20 character
buffer.

If is possible this bug has been reported before but I still don't see
any fix checked in:

[ Upstream commit 59a17706915fe5ea6f711e1f92d4fb706bce07fe ]

When perf is built with the annobin plugin (RHEL8 build) extra symbols
are added to its binary:

  # nm perf | grep annobin | head -10
  0000000000241100 t .annobin_annotate.c
  0000000000326490 t .annobin_annotate.c
  0000000000249255 t .annobin_annotate.c_end
  00000000003283a8 t .annobin_annotate.c_end

  00000000001bce18 t .annobin_annotate.c.hot
  ...

Those symbols have no use for report or annotation and should be
skipped.  Moreover they interfere with the DWARF unwind test on the PPC
arch, where they are mixed with checked symbols and then the test fails:

  # perf test dwarf -v
  59: Test dwarf unwind                                     :
  --- start ---
  test child forked, pid 8515
  unwind: .annobin_dwarf_unwind.c:ip = 0x10dba40dc (0x2740dc)
  ...
  got: .annobin_dwarf_unwind.c 0x10dba40dc, expecting test__arch_unwind_sample
  unwind: failed with 'no error'

The annobin symbols are defined as NOTYPE/LOCAL/HIDDEN:

  # readelf -s ./perf | grep annobin | head -1
    40: 00000000001bce4f     0 NOTYPE  LOCAL  HIDDEN    13 .annobin_init.c

They can still pass the check for the label symbol. Adding check for
HIDDEN and INTERNAL (as suggested by Nick below) visibility and filter
out such symbols.

&gt;   Just to be awkward, if you are going to ignore STV_HIDDEN
&gt;   symbols then you should probably also ignore STV_INTERNAL ones
&gt;   as well...  Annobin does not generate them, but you never know,
&gt;   one day some other tool might create some.

[ Upstream commit 59a17706915fe5ea6f711e1f92d4fb706bce07fe ]

When perf is built with the annobin plugin (RHEL8 build) extra symbols
are added to its binary:

  # nm perf | grep annobin | head -10
  0000000000241100 t .annobin_annotate.c
  0000000000326490 t .annobin_annotate.c

<title>perf tools: Handle TOPOLOGY headers with no CPU</title>

[ Upstream commit 1497e804d1a6e2bd9107ddf64b0310449f4673eb ]

This patch fixes an issue in cpumap.c when used with the TOPOLOGY
header. In some configurations, some NUMA nodes may have no CPU (empty
cpulist). Yet a cpumap map must be created otherwise perf abort with an
error. This patch handles this case by creating a dummy map.

  Before:

  $ perf record -o - -e cycles noploop 2 | perf script -i -
  0x6e8 [0x6c]: failed to process type: 80

  After:

  $ perf record -o - -e cycles noploop 2 | perf script -i -
  noploop for 2 seconds

<title>perf tests evsel-tp-sched: Fix bitwise operator</title>

commit 489338a717a0dfbbd5a3fabccf172b78f0ac9015 upstream.

Notice that the use of the bitwise OR operator '|' always leads to true
in this particular case, which seems a bit suspicious due to the context
in which this expression is being used.

Fix this by using bitwise AND operator '&amp;' instead.

This bug was detected with the help of Coccinelle.

[ Upstream commit 4787eff3fa88f62fede6ed7afa06477ae6bf984d ]

The tool perf is useful for the performance analysis on the Hygon Dhyana
platform. But right now there is no Hygon support for it to analyze the
KVM guest os data. So add Hygon Dhyana support to it by checking vendor
string to share the code path of AMD.
