commit 91d29b288aed3406caf7c454bf2b898c96cfd177 upstream.

timestamp_insn_cnt is used to estimate the timestamp based on the number of
instructions since the last known timestamp.

If the estimate is not accurate enough decoding might not be correctly
synchronized with side-band events causing more trace errors.

However there are always timestamps following an overflow, so the
estimate is not needed and can indeed result in more errors.

Suppress the estimate by setting timestamp_insn_cnt to zero.

commit 1c196a6c771c47a2faa63d38d913e03284f73a16 upstream.

When a TIP packet is expected but there is a different packet, it is an
error. However the unexpected packet might be something important like a
TSC packet, so after the error, it is necessary to continue from there,
rather than the next packet. That is achieved by setting pkt_step to
zero.

commit 63d8e38f6ae6c36dd5b5ba0e8c112e8861532ea2 upstream.

sync_switch is a facility to synchronize decoding more closely with the
point in the kernel when the context actually switched.

The flag when sync_switch is enabled was global to the decoding, whereas
it is really specific to the CPU.

The trace data for different CPUs is put on different queues, so add
sync_switch to the intel_pt_queue structure and use that in preference
to the global setting in the intel_pt structure.

That fixes problems decoding one CPU's trace because sync_switch was
disabled on a different CPU's queue.

commit 117db4b27bf08dba412faf3924ba55fe970c57b8 upstream.

Overlap detection was not not updating the buffer's 'consecutive' flag.
Marking buffers consecutive has the advantage that decoding begins from
the start of the buffer instead of the first PSB. Fix overlap detection
to identify consecutive buffers correctly.

<title>objtool: Add Clang support</title>

commit 3c1f05835cbf9fdfe60b81c718d82ceb94b6c55e upstream.

Since the ORC unwinder was made the default on x86_64, Clang-built
defconfig kernels have triggered some new objtool warnings:

  drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gpu_error.o: warning: objtool: i915_error_printf()+0x6c: return with modified stack frame
  drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_display.o: warning: objtool: pipe_config_err()+0xa6: return with modified stack frame

The problem is that objtool has never seen clang-built binaries before.

Shockingly enough, objtool is apparently able to follow the code flow
mostly fine, except for one instruction sequence.  Instead of a LEAVE
instruction, clang restores RSP and RBP the long way:

   67c:   48 89 ec                mov    %rbp,%rsp
   67f:   5d                      pop    %rbp

Teach objtool about this new code sequence.

[ Upstream commit fa1195ccc0af2d121abe0fe266a1caee8c265eea ]

We need to increase output offset in each iteration, not decrease it as
we currently do.

I guess we were lucky to finish in most cases in first iteration, so the
bug never showed. However it shows a lot when working with big (~4GB)
size data.

<title>perf report: Fix a no annotate browser displayed issue</title>

[ Upstream commit 40c39e3046411f84bab82f66783ff3593e2bcd9b ]

When enabling '-b' option in perf record, for example,

  perf record -b ...
  perf report

and then browsing the annotate browser from perf report (press 'A'), it
would fail (annotate browser can't be displayed).

It's because the '.add_entry_cb' op of struct report is overwritten by
hist_iter__branch_callback() in builtin-report.c. But this function doesn't do
something like mapping symbols and sources. So next, do_annotate() will return
directly.

        notes = symbol__annotation(act-&gt;ms.sym);
        if (!notes-&gt;src)
                return 0;

This patch adds the lost code to hist_iter__branch_callback (refer to
hist_iter__report_callback).

v2:

Fix a crash bug when perform 'perf report --stdio'.

The reason is that we init the symbol annotation only in browser mode, it
doesn't allocate/init resources for stdio mode.

So now in hist_iter__branch_callback(), it will return directly if it's not in
browser mode.

[ Upstream commit d36f45e5b46723cf2d4147173e18c52d4143176d ]

Address/port initialization should work correctly regardless
of the order in which command line arguments are supplied,
E.g, cfg_port should be used to connect to the remote host
even if it is processed after -D, src/dst address initialization
should not require that [-4|-6] be specified before
the -S or -D args, receiver should be able to bind to *.&lt;cfg_port&gt;

Achieve this by making sure that the address/port structures
are initialized after all command line options are parsed.

Store cfg_port in host-byte order, and use htons()
to set up the sin_port/sin6_port before bind/connect,
so that the network system calls get the correct values
in network-byte order.

[ Upstream commit d36f45e5b46723cf2d4147173e18c52d4143176d ]

Address/port initialization should work correctly regardless
of the order in which command line arguments are supplied,
E.g, cfg_port should be used to connect to the remote host
even if it is processed after -D, src/dst address initialization
should not require that [-4|-6] be specified before
the -S or -D args, receiver should be able to bind to *.&lt;cfg_port&gt;

Achieve this by making sure that the address/port structures
are initialized after all command line options are parsed.

Store cfg_port in host-byte order, and use htons()
to set up the sin_port/sin6_port before bind/connect,
so that the network system calls get the correct values
in network-byte order.

[ Upstream commit ca8000684ec4e66f965e1f9547a3c6cb834154ca ]

While monitoring a multithread process with pid option, perf sometimes
may return sys_perf_event_open failure with 3(No such process) if any of
the process's threads die before we open the event. However, we want
perf continue monitoring the remaining threads and do not exit with
error.

Here, the patch enables perf_evsel::ignore_missing_thread for -p option
to ignore complete failure if any of threads die before we open the event.
But it may still return sys_perf_event_open failure with 22(Invalid) if we
monitors several event groups.

        sys_perf_event_open: pid 28960  cpu 40  group_fd 118202  flags 0x8
        sys_perf_event_open: pid 28961  cpu 40  group_fd 118203  flags 0x8
        WARNING: Ignored open failure for pid 28962
        sys_perf_event_open: pid 28962  cpu 40  group_fd [118203]  flags 0x8
        sys_perf_event_open failed, error -22

That is because when we ignore a missing thread, we change the thread_idx
without dealing with its fds, FD(evsel, cpu, thread). Then get_group_fd()
may return a wrong group_fd for the next thread and sys_perf_event_open()
return with 22.

        sys_perf_event_open(){
           ...
           if (group_fd != -1)
               perf_fget_light()//to get corresponding group_leader by group_fd
           ...
           if (group_leader)
              if (group_leader-&gt;ctx-&gt;task != ctx-&gt;task)//should on the same task
                   goto err_context
           ...
        }

This patch also fixes this bug by introducing perf_evsel__remove_fd() and
update_fds to allow removing fds for the missing thread.

Changes since v1:
- Change group_fd__remove() into a more genetic way without changing code logic
- Remove redundant condition

Changes since v2:
- Use a proper function name and add some comment.
- Multiline comment style fixes.

Committer testing:

Before this patch the recently added 'perf stat --per-thread' for system
wide counting would race while enumerating all threads using /proc:

  [root@jouet ~]# perf stat --per-thread
  failed to parse CPUs map: No such file or directory

   Usage: perf stat [&lt;options&gt;] [&lt;command&gt;]

      -C, --cpu &lt;cpu&gt;       list of cpus to monitor in system-wide
      -a, --all-cpus        system-wide collection from all CPUs
  [root@jouet ~]# perf stat --per-thread
  failed to parse CPUs map: No such file or directory

   Usage: perf stat [&lt;options&gt;] [&lt;command&gt;]

      -C, --cpu &lt;cpu&gt;       list of cpus to monitor in system-wide
      -a, --all-cpus        system-wide collection from all CPUs
  [root@jouet ~]#

When, say, the kernel was being built, so lots of shortlived threads,
after this patch this doesn't happen.

[ Upstream commit 9f5c6d8777a2d962b0eeacb2a16f37da6bea545b ]

This improve the error message so that user can know event-name error
before writing new events to kprobe-events interface.

E.g.
   ======
   #./perf probe -x /lib64/libc-2.25.so malloc_get_state*
   Internal error: "malloc_get_state@GLIBC_2" is an invalid event name.
     Error: Failed to add events.
