[ Upstream commit 197eecb6ecae0b04bd694432f640ff75597fed9c ]

When peeking an event, it has a short path and a long path.  The short
path uses the session pointer "one_mmap_addr" to directly fetch the
event; and the long path needs to read out the event header and the
following event data from file and fill into the buffer pointer passed
through the argument "buf".

The issue is in the long path that it copies the event header and event
data into the same destination address which pointer "buf", this means
the event header is overwritten.  We are just lucky to run into the
short path in most cases, so we don't hit the issue in the long path.

This patch adds the offset "hdr_sz" to the pointer "buf" when copying
the event data, so that it can reserve the event header which can be
used properly by its caller.

commit 31e95b61e172144bb2b626a291db1bdc0769275b upstream.

mostly revert the previous workaround and make
'dubious pointer arithmetic' test useful again.
Use (ptr - ptr) &lt;&lt; const instead of ptr &lt;&lt; const to generate large scalar.
The rest stays as before commit 2b36047e7889.

since commit 82abbf8d2fc4 the verifier rejects the bit-wise
arithmetic on pointers earlier.
The test 'dubious pointer arithmetic' now has less output to match on.
Adjust it.

commit 82abbf8d2fc46d79611ab58daa7c608df14bb3ee upstream.

Do not allow root to convert valid pointers into unknown scalars.
In particular disallow:
 ptr &amp;= reg
 ptr &lt;&lt;= reg
 ptr += ptr
and explicitly allow:
 ptr -= ptr
since pkt_end - pkt == length

1.
This minimizes amount of address leaks root can do.
In the future may need to further tighten the leaks with kptr_restrict.

2.
If program has such pointer math it's likely a user mistake and
when verifier complains about it right away instead of many instructions
later on invalid memory access it's easier for users to fix their progs.

3.
when register holding a pointer cannot change to scalar it allows JITs to
optimize better. Like 32-bit archs could use single register for pointers
instead of a pair required to hold 64-bit scalars.

4.
reduces architecture dependent behavior. Since code:
r1 = r10;
r1 &amp;= 0xff;
if (r1 ...)
will behave differently arm64 vs x64 and offloaded vs native.

A significant chunk of ptr mangling was allowed by
commit f1174f77b50c ("bpf/verifier: rework value tracking")
yet some of it was allowed even earlier.

commit d7a5091351756d0ae8e63134313c455624e36a13 upstream.

Update various selftest error messages:

 * The 'Rx tried to sub from different maps, paths, or prohibited types'
   is reworked into more specific/differentiated error messages for better
   guidance.

 * The change into 'value -4294967168 makes map_value pointer be out of
   bounds' is due to moving the mixed bounds check into the speculation
   handling and thus occuring slightly later than above mentioned sanity
   check.

 * The change into 'math between map_value pointer and register with
   unbounded min value' is similarly due to register sanity check coming
   before the mixed bounds check.

 * The case of 'map access: known scalar += value_ptr from different maps'
   now loads fine given masks are the same from the different paths (despite
   max map value size being different).

commit 0a13e3537ea67452d549a6a80da3776d6b7dedb3 upstream.

Fix up test_verifier error messages for the case where the original error
message changed, or for the case where pointer alu errors differ between
privileged and unprivileged tests. Also, add alternative tests for keeping
coverage of the original verifier rejection error message (fp alu), and
newly reject map_ptr += rX where rX == 0 given we now forbid alu on these
types for unprivileged. All test_verifier cases pass after the change. The
test case fixups were kept separate to ease backporting of core changes.

commit 75ea44e356b5de8c817f821c9dd68ae329e82add upstream.

On some hosts, rlim.rlim_max can be returned as RLIM_INFINITY.
By casting it to int, it is interpreted as -1, which will cause get_maxfds
to return 0, causing "Invalid argument" errors in nftw() calls.
Fix this by casting the second argument of min() to rlim_t instead.

commit cb7987837c31b217b28089bbc78922d5c9187869 upstream.

When adding support for power events, some handling of FUP packets was
unified. That resulted in breaking reporting of TSX aborts, by not
considering the associated TIP packet. Fix that.

Example:

A machine that supports TSX is required. It will have flag "rtm". Kernel
parameter tsx=on may be required.

 # for w in `cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -m1 flags `;do echo $w | grep rtm ; done
 rtm

Test program:

 #include &lt;stdio.h&gt;
 #include &lt;immintrin.h&gt;

 int main()
 {
        int x = 0;

        if (_xbegin() == _XBEGIN_STARTED) {
                x = 1;
                _xabort(1);
        } else {
                printf("x = %d\n", x);
        }
        return 0;
 }

commit cb7987837c31b217b28089bbc78922d5c9187869 upstream.

When adding support for power events, some handling of FUP packets was
unified. That resulted in breaking reporting of TSX aborts, by not
considering the associated TIP packet. Fix that.

Example:

A machine that supports TSX is required. It will have flag "rtm". Kernel
parameter tsx=on may be required.

 # for w in `cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -m1 flags `;do echo $w | grep rtm ; done
 rtm

Test program:

 #include &lt;stdio.h&gt;
 #include &lt;immintrin.h&gt;

 int main()
 {
        int x = 0;

        if (_xbegin() == _XBEGIN_STARTED) {
                x = 1;
                _xabort(1);
        } else {
                printf("x = %d\n", x);
        }
        return 0;
 }

Compile with -mrtm i.e.

 gcc -Wall -Wextra -mrtm xabort.c -o xabort

Record:

 perf record -e intel_pt/cyc/u --filter 'filter main @ ./xabort' ./xabort

commit c954eb72b31a9dc56c99b450253ec5b121add320 upstream.

The decoder reports the current instruction if it was decoded. In some
cases the current instruction is not decoded, in which case the instruction
bytes length must be set to zero. Ensure that is always done.

Note perf script can anyway get the instruction bytes for any samples where
they are not present.

Also note, that there is a redundant "ptq-&gt;insn_len = 0" statement which is
not removed until a subsequent patch in order to make this patch apply
cleanly to stable branches.

Example:

A machne that supports TSX is required. It will have flag "rtm". Kernel
parameter tsx=on may be required.

 # for w in `cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -m1 flags `;do echo $w | grep rtm ; done
 rtm

Test program:

 #include &lt;stdio.h&gt;
 #include &lt;immintrin.h&gt;

 int main()
 {
        int x = 0;

        if (_xbegin() == _XBEGIN_STARTED) {
                x = 1;
                _xabort(1);
        } else {
                printf("x = %d\n", x);
        }
        return 0;
 }

Compile with -mrtm i.e.

 gcc -Wall -Wextra -mrtm xabort.c -o xabort

Change every shebang which does not need an argument to use /usr/bin/env.
This is needed as not every distro has everything under /usr/bin,
sometimes not even bash.
