commit 9d49169c5958e429ffa6874fbef734ae7502ad65 upstream.

In pipe mode, session-&gt;header.env.arch is not populated until the events
are processed. Therefore, the following command crashes:

   perf record -o - | perf script

(gdb) bt

It fails when we try to compare env.arch against uts.machine:

        if (!strcmp(uts.machine, session-&gt;header.env.arch) ||
            (!strcmp(uts.machine, "x86_64") &amp;&amp;
             !strcmp(session-&gt;header.env.arch, "i386")))
                native_arch = true;

In pipe mode, it is tricky to find env.arch at this stage. To keep it
simple, let's just assume native_arch is always true for pipe mode.

[ Upstream commit cecaa76b2919aac2aa584ce476e9fcd5b084add5 ]

If mmap() fails it returns MAP_FAILED, which is defined as ((void *) -1).
The current if-statement incorrectly tests if *ring is NULL.

'probe libc's inet_pton &amp; backtrace it with ping' testcase sometimes
fails on powerpc because distro ping binary does not have symbol
information and thus it prints "[unknown]" function name in the
backtrace.

Accept "[unknown]" as valid function name for powerpc as well.

[ Upstream commit aa52bcbe0e72fac36b1862db08b9c09c4caefae3 ]

Michael reported crash with by bpf program in json mode on powerpc:

  # bpftool prog -p dump jited id 14
  [{
        "name": "0xd00000000a9aa760",
        "insns": [{

                ]
            },{

                "pc": "0x8",
                "operation": "mflr",
  Segmentation fault (core dumped)

The code is assuming char pointers in format, which is not always
true at least for powerpc. Fixing this by dumping the whole string
into buffer based on its format.

Please note that libopcodes code does not check return values from
fprintf callback, but as per Jakub suggestion returning -1 on allocation
failure so we do the best effort to propagate the error.

<title>selftests: bpf: fix inlines in test_lwt_seg6local</title>

[ Upstream commit 11aca65ec4db09527d3e9b6b41a0615b7da4386b ]

Selftests are reporting this failure in test_lwt_seg6local.sh:

+ ip netns exec ns2 ip -6 route add fb00::6 encap bpf in obj test_lwt_seg6local.o sec encap_srh dev veth2
Error fetching program/map!
Failed to parse eBPF program: Operation not permitted

The problem is __attribute__((always_inline)) alone is not enough to prevent
clang from inserting those functions in .text. In that case, .text is not
marked as relocateable.

See the output of objdump -h test_lwt_seg6local.o:

Idx Name          Size      VMA               LMA               File off  Algn
  0 .text         00003530  0000000000000000  0000000000000000  00000040  2**3
                  CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, CODE

This causes the iproute bpf loader to fail in bpf_fetch_prog_sec:
bpf_has_call_data returns true but bpf_fetch_prog_relo fails as there's no
relocateable .text section in the file.

To fix this, convert to 'static __always_inline'.

v2: Use 'static __always_inline' instead of 'static inline
    __attribute__((always_inline))'

Error fetching program/map!
Failed to parse eBPF program: Operation not permitted

The problem is __attribute__((always_inline)) alone is not enough to prevent
clang from inserting those functions in .text. In that case, .text is not
marked as relocateable.

See the output of objdump -h test_lwt_seg6local.o:

Idx Name          Size      VMA               LMA               File off  Algn
  0 .text         00003530  0000000000000000  0000000000000000  00000040  2**3
                  CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, CODE

This causes the iproute bpf loader to fail in bpf_fetch_prog_sec:
bpf_has_call_data returns true but bpf_fetch_prog_relo fails as there's no
relocateable .text section in the file.

To fix this, convert to 'static __always_inline'.

v2: Use 'static __always_inline' instead of 'static inline
    __attribute__((always_inline))'

[ Upstream commit 33bae185f74d49a0d7b1bfaafb8e959efce0f243 ]

Based on the following report from Smatch, fix the potential NULL
pointer dereference check:

  tools/lib/bpf/libbpf.c:3493
  bpf_prog_load_xattr() warn: variable dereferenced before check 'attr'
  (see line 3483)

  3479 int bpf_prog_load_xattr(const struct bpf_prog_load_attr *attr,
  3480                         struct bpf_object **pobj, int *prog_fd)
  3481 {
  3482         struct bpf_object_open_attr open_attr = {
  3483                 .file           = attr-&gt;file,
  3484                 .prog_type      = attr-&gt;prog_type,
                                         ^^^^^^
  3485         };

At the head of function, it directly access 'attr' without checking
if it's NULL pointer. This patch moves the values assignment after
validating 'attr' and 'attr-&gt;file'.

[ Upstream commit cdfc7f888c2a355b01308e97c6df108f1c2b64e8 ]

GCC8 started emitting warning about using strncpy with number of bytes
exactly equal destination size, which is generally unsafe, as can lead
to non-zero terminated string being copied. Use IFNAMSIZ - 1 as number
of bytes to ensure name is always zero-terminated.

<title>perf stat: Fix group lookup for metric group</title>

[ Upstream commit 2f87f33f4226523df9c9cc28f9874ea02fcc3d3f ]

The metric group code tries to find a group it added earlier in the
evlist. Fix the lookup to handle groups with partially overlaps
correctly. When a sub string match fails and we reset the match, we have
to compare the first element again.

I also renamed the find_evsel function to find_evsel_group to make its
purpose clearer.

With the earlier changes this fixes:

Before:

  % perf stat -M UPI,IPC sleep 1
  ...
         1,032,922      uops_retired.retire_slots #      1.1 UPI
         1,896,096      inst_retired.any
         1,896,096      inst_retired.any
         1,177,254      cpu_clk_unhalted.thread

After:

  % perf stat -M UPI,IPC sleep 1
  ...
        1,013,193      uops_retired.retire_slots #      1.1 UPI
           932,033      inst_retired.any
           932,033      inst_retired.any          #      0.9 IPC

<title>perf stat: Don't merge events in the same PMU</title>

[ Upstream commit 6c5f4e5cb35b4694dc035d91092d23f596ecd06a ]

Event merging is mainly to collapse similar events in lots of different
duplicated PMUs.

It can break metric displaying. It's possible for two metrics to have
the same event, and when the two events happen in a row the second
wouldn't be displayed.  This would also not show the second metric.

To avoid this don't merge events in the same PMU. This makes sense, if
we have multiple events in the same PMU there is likely some reason for
it (e.g. using multiple groups) and we better not merge them.

While in theory it would be possible to construct metrics that have
events with the same name in different PMU no current metrics have this
problem.

This is the fix for perf stat -M UPI,IPC (needs also another bug fix to
completely work)
