[ Upstream commit 7a92453620d42c3a5fea94a864dc6aa04c262b93 ]

On Intel test case trace+probe_libc_inet_pton.sh succeeds and the
output is:

[root@f27 perf]# ./perf trace --no-syscalls
                  -e probe_libc:inet_pton/max-stack=3/ ping -6 -c 1 ::1

              main (/usr/bin/ping)

The kernel stack unwinder is used, it is specified implicitly
as call-graph=fp (frame pointer).

On s390x only dwarf is available for stack unwinding. It is also
done in user space. This requires different parameter setup
and result checking for s390x and Intel.

This patch adds separate perf trace setup and result checking
for Intel and s390x. On s390x specify this command line to
get a call-graph and handle the different call graph result
checking:

[ Upstream commit 941ff6f11c020913f5cddf543a9ec63475d7c082 ]

Fix two issues in the reuseport_bpf selftests that were
reported by Linaro CI:

  [...]
  + ./reuseport_bpf
  ---- IPv4 UDP ----
  Testing EBPF mod 10...
  Reprograming, testing mod 5...
  ./reuseport_bpf: ebpf error. log:
  0: (bf) r6 = r1
  1: (20) r0 = *(u32 *)skb[0]
  2: (97) r0 %= 10
  3: (95) exit
  processed 4 insns
  : Operation not permitted
  + echo FAIL
  [...]
  ---- IPv4 TCP ----
  Testing EBPF mod 10...
  ./reuseport_bpf: failed to bind send socket: Address already in use
  + echo FAIL
  [...]

For the former adjust rlimit since this was the cause of
failure for loading the BPF prog, and for the latter add
SO_REUSEADDR.

<title>tools/libbpf: handle issues with bpf ELF objects containing .eh_frames</title>

[ Upstream commit e3d91b0ca523d53158f435a3e13df7f0cb360ea2 ]

V3: More generic skipping of relo-section (suggested by Daniel)

If clang &gt;= 4.0.1 is missing the option '-target bpf', it will cause
llc/llvm to create two ELF sections for "Exception Frames", with
section names '.eh_frame' and '.rel.eh_frame'.

The BPF ELF loader library libbpf fails when loading files with these
sections.  The other in-kernel BPF ELF loader in samples/bpf/bpf_load.c,
handle this gracefully. And iproute2 loader also seems to work with these
"eh" sections.

The issue in libbpf is caused by bpf_object__elf_collect() skipping
some sections, and later when performing relocation it will be
pointing to a skipped section, as these sections cannot be found by
bpf_object__find_prog_by_idx() in bpf_object__collect_reloc().

This is a general issue that also occurs for other sections, like
debug sections which are also skipped and can have relo section.

As suggested by Daniel.  To avoid keeping state about all skipped
sections, instead perform a direct qlookup in the ELF object.  Lookup
the section that the relo-section points to and check if it contains
executable machine instructions (denoted by the sh_flags
SHF_EXECINSTR).  Use this check to also skip irrelevant relo-sections.

Note, for samples/bpf/ the '-target bpf' parameter to clang cannot be used
due to incompatibility with asm embedded headers, that some of the samples
include. This is explained in more details by Yonghong Song in bpf_devel_QA.

Al Viro discovered a bug in the glob ftrace filtering code where "*a*b" is
treated the same as "a*b", and functions that would be selected by "*a*b"
but not "a*b" are not selected with "*a*b".

Add tests for patterns "*a*b" and "a*b*" to the glob selftest.

<title>perf evsel: Fix period/freq terms setup</title>

[ Upstream commit 49c0ae80eb32426fa133246200628e529067c595 ]

Stephane reported that we don't set properly PERIOD sample type for
events with period term defined.

Before:
  $ perf record -e cpu/cpu-cycles,period=1000/u ls
  $ perf evlist -v
  cpu/cpu-cycles,period=1000/u: ... sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|PERIOD, ...

After:
  $ perf record -e cpu/cpu-cycles,period=1000/u ls
  $ perf evlist -v
  cpu/cpu-cycles,period=1000/u: ... sample_type: IP|TID|TIME, ...

Setting PERIOD sample type based on period term setup.

Committer note:

When we use -c or a period=N term in the event definition, then we don't
need to ask the kernel, for this event, via perf_event_attr.sample_type
|= PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD, to put the event period in each sample for this
event, as we know it already, it is in perf_event_attr.sample_period.

[ Upstream commit 49c0ae80eb32426fa133246200628e529067c595 ]

Stephane reported that we don't set properly PERIOD sample type for
events with period term defined.

Before:
  $ perf record -e cpu/cpu-cycles,period=1000/u ls
  $ perf evlist -v
  cpu/cpu-cycles,period=1000/u: ... sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|PERIOD, ...

After:
  $ perf record -e cpu/cpu-cycles,period=1000/u ls
  $ perf evlist -v
  cpu/cpu-cycles,period=1000/u: ... sample_type: IP|TID|TIME, ...

Setting PERIOD sample type based on period term setup.

Committer note:

When we use -c or a period=N term in the event definition, then we don't
need to ask the kernel, for this event, via perf_event_attr.sample_type
|= PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD, to put the event period in each sample for this
event, as we know it already, it is in perf_event_attr.sample_period.

[ Upstream commit f290aa1ffa45ed7e37599840878b4dae68269ee1 ]

Stephan reported we don't unset PERIOD sample type when --no-period is
specified. Adding the unset check and reset PERIOD if --no-period is
specified.

Committer notes:

Check the sample_type, it shouldn't have PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD there when
--no-period is used.

Before:

  # perf record --no-period sleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.018 MB perf.data (7 samples) ]
  # perf evlist -v
  cycles:ppp: size: 112, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|PERIOD, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, enable_on_exec: 1, task: 1, precise_ip: 3, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1
  #

After:

[root@jouet ~]# perf record --no-period sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.019 MB perf.data (17 samples) ]
[root@jouet ~]# perf evlist -v

[ Upstream commit 783687810e986a15ffbf86c516a1a48ff37f38f7 ]

Bug: BPF programs and maps related to sockmaps test exist
in memory even after test_maps ends.

This patch fixes it as a short term workaround (sockmap
kernel side needs real fixing) by empyting sockmaps when
test ends.

[ Upstream commit 81fccd6ca507d3b2012eaf1edeb9b1dbf4bd22db ]

In x86 architecture dependend part function get_cpuid_str() mallocs a
128 byte buffer, but does not check if the memory allocation succeeded
or not.

When the memory allocation fails, function __get_cpuid() is called with
first parameter being a NULL pointer.  However this function references
its first parameter and operates on a NULL pointer which might cause
core dumps.

If a field is a dynamic string, get_field_str() returned just the
offset/size value and not the string. Have it parse the offset/size
correctly to return the actual string. Otherwise filtering fails when
trying to filter fields that are dynamic strings.

[ Upstream commit 249d98e567e25dd03e015e2d31e1b7b9648f34df ]

When setting the "dwarf" unwinder for a specific event and not
specifying the max-stack, the attr.sample_max_stack ended up using an
uninitialized callchain_param.max_stack, fix it by using designated
initializers for that callchain_param variable, zeroing all non
explicitely initialized struct members.

Here is what happened:

  # perf trace -vv --no-syscalls --max-stack 4 -e probe_libc:inet_pton/call-graph=dwarf/ ping -6 -c 1 ::1
  callchain: type DWARF
  callchain: stack dump size 8192

    sample_stack_user                8192
    sample_max_stack                 50656
  sys_perf_event_open failed, error -75
  Value too large for defined data type
  # perf trace -vv --no-syscalls --max-stack 4 -e probe_libc:inet_pton/call-graph=dwarf/ ping -6 -c 1 ::1
  callchain: type DWARF
  callchain: stack dump size 8192
  perf_event_attr:
    type                             2
    size                             112
    config                           0x730
    sample_type                      IP|TID|TIME|ADDR|CALLCHAIN|CPU|PERIOD|RAW|REGS_USER|STACK_USER|DATA_SRC

    sample_max_stack                 30448
  sys_perf_event_open failed, error -75
  Value too large for defined data type
  #

Now the attr.sample_max_stack is set to zero and the above works as
expected:

  # perf trace --no-syscalls --max-stack 4 -e probe_libc:inet_pton/call-graph=dwarf/ ping -6 -c 1 ::1
