commit 4ddc844eb81da59bfb816d8d52089aba4e59e269 upstream.

in current Linux, MTU policing does not take into account that packets at
the TC ingress have the L2 header pulled. Thus, the same TC police action
(with the same value of tcfp_mtu) behaves differently for ingress/egress.
In addition, the full GSO size is compared to tcfp_mtu: as a consequence,
the policer drops GSO packets even when individual segments have the L2 +
L3 + L4 + payload length below the configured valued of tcfp_mtu.

Improve the accuracy of MTU policing as follows:
 - account for mac_len for non-GSO packets at TC ingress.
 - compare MTU threshold with the segmented size for GSO packets.
Also, add a kselftest that verifies the correct behavior.

When no l3 address is given, priv-&gt;family is set to NFPROTO_INET and
the evaluation function isn't called.

Call it too so l4-only rewrite can work.

[ Upstream commit fe4d0d5dde457bb5832b866418b5036f4f0c8d13 ]

Linus had a problem compiling RTLA, saying:

"[...] I wish the tracing tools would do a bit more package
checking and helpful error messages too, rather than just
fail with:

    fatal error: tracefs.h: No such file or directory"

Which is indeed not a helpful message. Update the Makefile, adding
proper checks for the dependencies, with useful information about
how to resolve possible problems.

For example, the previous error is now reported as:

    $ make
    ********************************************
    ** NOTICE: libtracefs version 1.3 or higher not found
    **
    ** Consider installing the latest libtracefs from your
    ** distribution, e.g., 'dnf install libtracefs' on Fedora,
    ** or from source:
    **
    **  https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/libs/libtrace/libtracefs.git/
    **
    ********************************************

These messages are inspired by the ones used on trace-cmd, as suggested
by Stevel Rostedt.

Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/CAHk-=whxmA86E=csNv76DuxX_wYsg8mW15oUs3XTabu2Yc80yw@mail.gmail.com/

Changes from V1:
 - Moved the rst2man check to the install phase (when it is used).
 - Removed the procps-ng lib check [1] as it is being removed.

[ Upstream commit b24192a17337abbf3f44aaa75e15df14a2d0016e ]

The function percent_rmt_hitm_cmp() wrongly uses local HITMs for
sorting remote HITMs.

Since this function is to sort cache lines for remote HITMs, this patch
changes to use 'rmt_hitm' field for correct sorting.

<title>perf record: Support sample-read topdown metric group for hybrid platforms</title>

[ Upstream commit 151e7d75036b4e2ac0f33730bc1a5b3ff424d9a7 ]

With the hardware TopDown metrics feature, the sample-read feature should
be supported for a TopDown group, e.g., sample a non-topdown event and read
a Topdown metric group. But the current perf record code errors are out.

For a TopDown metric group,the slots event must be the leader of the group,
but the leader slots event doesn't support sampling. To support sample-read
the TopDown metric group, uses the 2nd event of the group as the "leader"
for the purposes of sampling.

Only the platform with the TopDown metric feature supports sample-read the
topdown group. In commit acb65150a47c ("perf record: Support sample-read
topdown metric group"), it adds arch_topdown_sample_read() to indicate
whether the TopDown group supports sample-read, it should only work on the
non-hybrid systems, this patch extends the support for hybrid platforms.

Before:

  # ./perf record -e "{cpu_core/slots/,cpu_core/cycles/,cpu_core/topdown-retiring/}:S" -a sleep 1
  Error:
  The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 22 (Invalid argument) for event (cpu_core/topdown-retiring/).
  /bin/dmesg | grep -i perf may provide additional information.

After:

  # ./perf record -e "{cpu_core/slots/,cpu_core/cycles/,cpu_core/topdown-retiring/}:S" -a sleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.238 MB perf.data (369 samples) ]

[ Upstream commit e0e14cdff31d326f81e0edbd5140f788c870756c ]

The commit 94dbfd6781a0e87b ("perf parse-events: Architecture specific
leader override") introduced a feature to reorder the slots event to
fulfill the restriction of the perf metrics topdown group. But the
feature doesn't work on the hybrid machine.

  $ perf stat -e "{cpu_core/instructions/,cpu_core/slots/,cpu_core/topdown-retiring/}" -a sleep 1

   Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

       &lt;not counted&gt;      cpu_core/instructions/
       &lt;not counted&gt;      cpu_core/slots/
     &lt;not supported&gt;      cpu_core/topdown-retiring/

         1.002871801 seconds time elapsed

A hybrid platform has a different PMU name for the core PMUs, while
current perf hard code the PMU name "cpu".

Introduce a new function to check whether the system supports the perf
metrics feature. The result is cached for the future usage.

For X86, the core PMU name always has "cpu" prefix.

With the patch:

  $ perf stat -e "{cpu_core/instructions/,cpu_core/slots/,cpu_core/topdown-retiring/}" -a sleep 1

[ Upstream commit 39d5f412da84784bcc7f39ed49e55376be526fc7 ]

The patch ("perf evlist: Keep topdown counters in weak group") fixes the
perf metrics topdown event issue when the topdown events are in a weak
group on a non-hybrid platform. However, it doesn't work for the hybrid
platform.

A hybrid platform has a different PMU name for the core PMUs, while
the current perf hard code the PMU name "cpu".

The evsel-&gt;pmu_name can be used to replace the "cpu" to fix the issue.
For a hybrid platform, the pmu_name must be non-NULL. Because there are
at least two core PMUs. The PMU has to be specified.
For a non-hybrid platform, the pmu_name may be NULL. Because there is
only one core PMU, "cpu". For a NULL pmu_name, we can safely assume that
it is a "cpu" PMU.

In case other PMUs also define the "slots" event, checking the PMU type
as well.

With the patch,

[ Upstream commit 59ed76fe2f981bccde37bdddb465f260a96a2404 ]

Kernel function urandom_read is replaced with urandom_read_iter.
Therefore, kprobe on urandom_read is not working any more:

[root@eth50-1 bpf]# ./test_progs -n 161
test_stacktrace_build_id:PASS:skel_open_and_load 0 nsec
libbpf: kprobe perf_event_open() failed: No such file or directory
libbpf: prog 'oncpu': failed to create kprobe 'urandom_read+0x0' \
        perf event: No such file or directory
libbpf: prog 'oncpu': failed to auto-attach: -2
test_stacktrace_build_id:FAIL:attach_tp err -2
161     stacktrace_build_id:FAIL

Fix this by replacing urandom_read with urandom_read_iter in the test.

14c174633f34 ("random: remove unused tracepoints") removed all the
tracepoints from drivers/char/random.c, one of which,
random:urandom_read, was used by stacktrace_build_id selftest to trigger
stack trace capture.

Fix breakage by switching to kprobing urandom_read() function.

[ Upstream commit 99dea2c664d7bc7e4f6f6947182d0d365165a998 ]

14c174633f34 ("random: remove unused tracepoints") removed all the
tracepoints from drivers/char/random.c, one of which,
random:urandom_read, was used by stacktrace_build_id selftest to trigger
stack trace capture.

Fix breakage by switching to kprobing urandom_read() function.

commit e69a5c010246ca6a87c4e6f13d0a291954bdece8 upstream.

For the hybrid system, the "slots" event changes to "cpu_core/slots/", need
extend API arch_evsel__must_be_in_group() to support hybrid systems.

In the origin code, for hybrid system event "cpu_core/slots/", the output
of the API arch_evsel__must_be_in_group() is "false" (in fact,it should be
"true"). Currently only one API evsel__remove_from_group() calls it. In
evsel__remove_from_group(), it adds the second condition to check, so the
output of evsel__remove_from_group() still is correct. That's the reason
why there isn't an instant error. I'd like to fix the issue found in API
arch_evsel__must_be_in_group() in case someone else using the function in
the other place.

Fixes: d98079c05b5a ("perf evlist: Keep topdown counters in weak group")
