[ Upstream commit 1da0daf746342dfdc114e4dc8fbf3ece28666d4f ]

Add '+' to optstring when early scanning for --no-msr and --no-perf.
It causes option processing to stop as soon as a nonoption argument is
encountered, effectively skipping child's arguments.

[ Upstream commit fed8511cc8996989178823052dc0200643e1389a ]

parse_cpu_string() parses the string input either from command line or
from /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset.cpus.effective to get a list of CPUs that
turbostat can run with.

The cpu string returned by /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset.cpus.effective contains
a trailing '\n', but strtoul() fails to treat this as an error.

That says, for the code below
	val = ("\n", NULL, 10);
val returns 0, and errno is also not set.

As a result, CPU0 is erroneously considered as allowed CPU and this
causes failures when turbostat tries to run on CPU0.

 get_counters: Could not migrate to CPU 0
 ...
 turbostat: re-initialized with num_cpus 8, allowed_cpus 5
 get_counters: Could not migrate to CPU 0

Add a check to return immediately if '\n' or '\0' is detected.

arch-s390.h uses types from std.h, but does not include it.
Depending on the inclusion order the compilation can fail.
Include std.h explicitly to avoid these errors.

<title>selftests/mount_setattr: Fix failures on 64K PAGE_SIZE kernels</title>

[ Upstream commit f13242a46438e690067a4bf47068fde4d5719947 ]

Currently the mount_setattr_test fails on machines with a 64K PAGE_SIZE,
with errors such as:

  #  RUN           mount_setattr_idmapped.invalid_fd_negative ...
  mkfs.ext4: No space left on device while writing out and closing file system
  # mount_setattr_test.c:1055:invalid_fd_negative:Expected system("mkfs.ext4 -q /mnt/C/ext4.img") (256) == 0 (0)
  # invalid_fd_negative: Test terminated by assertion
  #          FAIL  mount_setattr_idmapped.invalid_fd_negative
  not ok 12 mount_setattr_idmapped.invalid_fd_negative

The code creates a 100,000 byte tmpfs:

	ASSERT_EQ(mount("testing", "/mnt", "tmpfs", MS_NOATIME | MS_NODEV,
			"size=100000,mode=700"), 0);

And then a little later creates a 2MB ext4 filesystem in that tmpfs:

	ASSERT_EQ(ftruncate(img_fd, 1024 * 2048), 0);
	ASSERT_EQ(system("mkfs.ext4 -q /mnt/C/ext4.img"), 0);

At first glance it seems like that should never work, after all 2MB is
larger than 100,000 bytes. However the filesystem image doesn't actually
occupy 2MB on "disk" (actually RAM, due to tmpfs). On 4K kernels the
ext4.img uses ~84KB of actual space (according to du), which just fits.

However on 64K PAGE_SIZE kernels the ext4.img takes at least 256KB,
which is too large to fit in the tmpfs, hence the errors.

It seems fraught to rely on the ext4.img taking less space on disk than
the allocated size, so instead create the tmpfs with a size of 2MB. With
that all 21 tests pass on 64K PAGE_SIZE kernels.

syscall__scnprintf_args may not place anything in the output buffer
(e.g., because the arguments are all zero). If that happened in
trace__fprintf_sys_enter, its fprintf would receive an unitialized
buffer leading to garbage output.

Fix the problem by passing the (possibly zero) bounds of the argument
buffer to the output fprintf.

[ Upstream commit 3fd7c36973a250e17a4ee305a31545a9426021f4 ]

If a perf trace event selector specifies a maximum number of events to output
(i.e., "/nr=N/" syntax), the event printing handler, trace__event_handler,
disables the event selector after the maximum number events are
printed.

Furthermore, trace__event_handler checked if the event selector was
disabled before doing any work. This avoided exceeding the maximum
number of events to print if more events were in the buffer before the
selector was disabled.

However, the event selector can be disabled for reasons other than
exceeding the maximum number of events. In particular, when the traced
subprocess exits, the main loop disables all event selectors. This meant
the last events of a traced subprocess might be lost to the printing
handler's short-circuiting logic.

This nondeterministic problem could be seen by running the following many times:

  $ perf trace -e syscalls:sys_enter_exit_group true

trace__event_handler should simply check for exceeding the maximum number of
events to print rather than the state of the event selector.

  [1]+  Done                    perf trace -e /tmp/augmented_raw_syscalls.o -e write* --max-events=30
  root@x1:/home/acme/git/perf-tools#

No events for the 'perf trace' (pid 180632), i.e. no feedback loop.

If we leave it running:

  root@x1:/home/acme/git/perf-tools# perf trace -e /tmp/augmented_raw_syscalls.o -e landlock_add_rule &amp;
  [1] 181068
  root@x1:/home/acme/git/perf-tools#

  And then look at what maps it sets up:

  root@x1:/home/acme/git/perf-tools# bpftool map | grep pids_filtered -A3
  1190: hash  name pids_filtered  flags 0x0
          key 4B  value 1B  max_entries 64  memlock 7264B
          btf_id 1613
          pids perf(181068)
  root@x1:/home/acme/git/perf-tools#

  And ask for dumping its contents:

  We see that we are _also_ setting it to filter those:

  root@x1:/home/acme/git/perf-tools# bpftool map dump id 1190
  [{
          "key": 181068,
          "value": 1
      },{
          "key": 156801,
          "value": 1
      }
  ]

Now testing the migration commit:

  perf $ git log

       0.162 (         ): perf/1808653 write(fd: 2, buf: 0x7fffc2174e50, count: 11)     ...
       0.174 (         ): perf/1808653 write(fd: 2, buf: 0x74ce21804563, count: 1)      ...
       0.184 (         ): perf/1808653 write(fd: 2, buf: 0x57b936589052, count: 5)

The feedback loop is there.

Keep it running, look into the bpf map:

  perf $ bpftool map | grep pids_filtered
  10675: hash  name pids_filtered  flags 0x0

  perf $ bpftool map dump id 10675
  []

The map is empty.

Now, this commit:

  64917f4df048a064 ("perf trace: Use heuristic when deciding if a syscall tracepoint "const char *" field is really a string")

Temporarily fixed the feedback loop for perf trace -e write, that's
because before using the heuristic, write is hooked to sys_enter_openat:

  perf $ git log
  commit 83a0943b1870944612a8aa0049f910826ebfd4f7 (HEAD)
  Author: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo &lt;acme@redhat.com&gt;
  Date:   Thu Aug 17 12:11:51 2023 -0300

      perf trace: Use the augmented_raw_syscall BPF skel only for tracing syscalls

  perf $ ./perf trace -e write --max-events=10 -v 2&gt;&amp;1 | grep Reusing
  Reusing "openat" BPF sys_enter augmenter for "write"

And after the heuristic fix, it's unaugmented:

  perf $ git log
  commit 64917f4df048a0649ea7901c2321f020e71e6f24 (HEAD)
  Author: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo &lt;acme@redhat.com&gt;
  Date:   Thu Aug 17 15:14:21 2023 -0300

      perf trace: Use heuristic when deciding if a syscall tracepoint "const char *" field is really a string

  perf $ ./perf trace -e write --max-events=10 -v 2&gt;&amp;1 | grep Reusing
  perf $

After using the heuristic, write is hooked to syscall_unaugmented, which
returns 1.

  SEC("tp/raw_syscalls/sys_enter")
  int syscall_unaugmented(struct syscall_enter_args *args)
  {
  	return 1;
  }

If the BPF program returns 1, the tracepoint filter will filter it
(since the tracepoint filter for perf is correctly set), but before the
heuristic, when it was hooked to a sys_enter_openat(), which is a BPF
program that calls bpf_perf_event_output() and writes to the buffer, it
didn't get filtered, thus creating feedback loop. So switching write to
unaugmented accidentally fixed the problem.

But some syscalls are not so lucky, for example newfstatat:
perf $ ./perf trace -e newfstatat --max-events=100 &amp; echo #!
[1] 2166948

   457.718 (         ): perf/2166948 newfstatat(dfd: CWD, filename: "/proc/self/ns/mnt", statbuf: 0x7fff0132a9f0) ...
   457.749 (         ): perf/2166948 newfstatat(dfd: CWD, filename: "/proc/2166950/ns/mnt", statbuf: 0x7fff0132aa80) ...
   457.962 (         ): perf/2166948 newfstatat(dfd: CWD, filename: "/proc/self/ns/mnt", statbuf: 0x7fff0132a9f0) ...

Currently, write is augmented by the new BTF general augmenter (which
calls bpf_perf_event_output()). The problem, which luckily got fixed,
resurfaced, and that’s how it was discovered.

[ Upstream commit fe4f9b4124967ffb75d66994520831231b779550 ]

There exists a pids_filtered map in augmented_raw_syscalls.bpf.c that
ceases to provide functionality after the BPF skeleton migration done
in:

5e6da6be3082f77b ("perf trace: Migrate BPF augmentation to use a skeleton")

Before the migration, pid_filtered map works, courtesy of Arnaldo

  [1]+  Done                    perf trace -e /tmp/augmented_raw_syscalls.o -e write* --max-events=30
  root@x1:/home/acme/git/perf-tools#

No events for the 'perf trace' (pid 180632), i.e. no feedback loop.

If we leave it running:

  root@x1:/home/acme/git/perf-tools# perf trace -e /tmp/augmented_raw_syscalls.o -e landlock_add_rule &amp;
  [1] 181068
  root@x1:/home/acme/git/perf-tools#

  And then look at what maps it sets up:

  root@x1:/home/acme/git/perf-tools# bpftool map | grep pids_filtered -A3
  1190: hash  name pids_filtered  flags 0x0
          key 4B  value 1B  max_entries 64  memlock 7264B
          btf_id 1613
          pids perf(181068)
  root@x1:/home/acme/git/perf-tools#

  And ask for dumping its contents:

  We see that we are _also_ setting it to filter those:

  root@x1:/home/acme/git/perf-tools# bpftool map dump id 1190
  [{
          "key": 181068,
          "value": 1
      },{
          "key": 156801,
          "value": 1
      }
  ]

Now testing the migration commit:

  perf $ git log
  commit 5e6da6be3082f77be06894a1a94d52a90b4007dc (HEAD)
  Author: Ian Rogers &lt;irogers@google.com&gt;
  Date:   Thu Aug 10 11:48:51 2023 -0700

      perf trace: Migrate BPF augmentation to use a skeleton

  perf $ ./perf trace -e write --max-events=10 &amp; echo #!
  [1] 1808653
  perf $
       0.000 ( 0.010 ms): :1808671/1808671 write(fd: 1, buf: 0x6003f5b26fc0, count: 11) = 11
       0.162 (         ): perf/1808653 write(fd: 2, buf: 0x7fffc2174e50, count: 11)     ...
       0.174 (         ): perf/1808653 write(fd: 2, buf: 0x74ce21804563, count: 1)      ...
       0.184 (         ): perf/1808653 write(fd: 2, buf: 0x57b936589052, count: 5)

The feedback loop is there.

Keep it running, look into the bpf map:

  perf $ bpftool map | grep pids_filtered
  10675: hash  name pids_filtered  flags 0x0

  perf $ bpftool map dump id 10675
  []

The map is empty.

Now, this commit:

  64917f4df048a064 ("perf trace: Use heuristic when deciding if a syscall tracepoint "const char *" field is really a string")

Temporarily fixed the feedback loop for perf trace -e write, that's
because before using the heuristic, write is hooked to sys_enter_openat:

  perf $ git log
  commit 83a0943b1870944612a8aa0049f910826ebfd4f7 (HEAD)
  Author: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo &lt;acme@redhat.com&gt;
  Date:   Thu Aug 17 12:11:51 2023 -0300

      perf trace: Use the augmented_raw_syscall BPF skel only for tracing syscalls

  perf $ ./perf trace -e write --max-events=10 -v 2&gt;&amp;1 | grep Reusing
  Reusing "openat" BPF sys_enter augmenter for "write"

And after the heuristic fix, it's unaugmented:

  perf $ git log
  commit 64917f4df048a0649ea7901c2321f020e71e6f24 (HEAD)
  Author: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo &lt;acme@redhat.com&gt;
  Date:   Thu Aug 17 15:14:21 2023 -0300

      perf trace: Use heuristic when deciding if a syscall tracepoint "const char *" field is really a string

  perf $ ./perf trace -e write --max-events=10 -v 2&gt;&amp;1 | grep Reusing
  perf $

After using the heuristic, write is hooked to syscall_unaugmented, which
returns 1.

  SEC("tp/raw_syscalls/sys_enter")
  int syscall_unaugmented(struct syscall_enter_args *args)
  {
  	return 1;
  }

If the BPF program returns 1, the tracepoint filter will filter it
(since the tracepoint filter for perf is correctly set), but before the
heuristic, when it was hooked to a sys_enter_openat(), which is a BPF
program that calls bpf_perf_event_output() and writes to the buffer, it
didn't get filtered, thus creating feedback loop. So switching write to
unaugmented accidentally fixed the problem.

But some syscalls are not so lucky, for example newfstatat:
perf $ ./perf trace -e newfstatat --max-events=100 &amp; echo #!
[1] 2166948

   457.718 (         ): perf/2166948 newfstatat(dfd: CWD, filename: "/proc/self/ns/mnt", statbuf: 0x7fff0132a9f0) ...
   457.749 (         ): perf/2166948 newfstatat(dfd: CWD, filename: "/proc/2166950/ns/mnt", statbuf: 0x7fff0132aa80) ...
   457.962 (         ): perf/2166948 newfstatat(dfd: CWD, filename: "/proc/self/ns/mnt", statbuf: 0x7fff0132a9f0) ...

Currently, write is augmented by the new BTF general augmenter (which
calls bpf_perf_event_output()). The problem, which luckily got fixed,
resurfaced, and that’s how it was discovered.

  &lt;snip similar errors of missing headers&gt;
