commit 06c3f2aa9fc68e7f3fe3d83e7569d2a2801d9f99 upstream.

So that it can be used more widely, like in the next patch, when it will
be used to fix a bug in 'perf test' handling of dirent.d_type ==
DT_UNKNOWN.

<title>perf tools: Fix python extension build for gcc 8</title>

commit b7a313d84e853049062011d78cb04b6decd12f5c upstream.

The gcc 8 compiler won't compile the python extension code with the
following errors (one example):

  python.c:830:15: error: cast between incompatible  function types from              \
  ‘PyObject * (*)(struct pyrf_evsel *, PyObject *, PyObject *)’                       \
  uct _object * (*)(struct pyrf_evsel *, struct _object *, struct _object *)’} to     \
  ‘PyObject * (*)(PyObject *, PyObject *)’ {aka ‘struct _object * (*)(struct _objeuct \
  _object *)’} [-Werror=cast-function-type]
     .ml_meth  = (PyCFunction)pyrf_evsel__open,

The problem with the PyMethodDef::ml_meth callback is that its type is
determined based on the PyMethodDef::ml_flags value, which we set as
METH_VARARGS | METH_KEYWORDS.

That indicates that the callback is expecting an extra PyObject* arg, and is
actually PyCFunctionWithKeywords type, but the base PyMethodDef::ml_meth type
stays PyCFunction.

Previous gccs did not find this, gcc8 now does. Fixing this by silencing this
warning for python.c build.

Commiter notes:

Do not do that for CC=clang, as it breaks the build in some clang
versions, like the ones in fedora up to fedora27:

  fedora:25:error: unknown warning option '-Wno-cast-function-type'; did you mean '-Wno-bad-function-cast'? [-Werror,-Wunknown-warning-option]
  fedora:26:error: unknown warning option '-Wno-cast-function-type'; did you mean '-Wno-bad-function-cast'? [-Werror,-Wunknown-warning-option]
  fedora:27:error: unknown warning option '-Wno-cast-function-type'; did you mean '-Wno-bad-function-cast'? [-Werror,-Wunknown-warning-option]
  #

those have:

  clang version 3.9.1 (tags/RELEASE_391/final)

The one in rawhide accepts that:

  clang version 6.0.0 (tags/RELEASE_600/final)

commit 6810158d526e483868e519befff407b91e76b3db upstream.

We were using a local buffer with an arbitrary size, that would have to
get increased to avoid truncation as warned by gcc 8:

  util/annotate.c: In function 'symbol__disassemble':
  util/annotate.c:1488:4: error: '%s' directive output may be truncated writing up to 4095 bytes into a region of size between 3966 and 8086 [-Werror=format-truncation=]
      "%s %s%s --start-address=0x%016" PRIx64
      ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  util/annotate.c:1498:20:
      symfs_filename, symfs_filename);
                      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  util/annotate.c:1490:50: note: format string is defined here
      " -l -d %s %s -C \"%s\" 2&gt;/dev/null|grep -v \"%s:\"|expand",
                                                  ^~

                   from util/sort.h:8,
                   from util/annotate.c:14:
  /usr/include/bits/stdio2.h:67:10: note: '__builtin___snprintf_chk' output 116 or more bytes (assuming 8331) into a destination of size 8192
     return __builtin___snprintf_chk (__s, __n, __USE_FORTIFY_LEVEL - 1,
            ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
          __bos (__s), __fmt, __va_arg_pack ());
          ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So switch to asprintf, that will make sure enough space is available.

commit 02e425668f5c9deb42787d10001a3b605993ad15 upstream.

When I added the missing memory outputs, I failed to update the
index of the first argument (ebx) on 32-bit builds, which broke the
fallbacks.  Somehow I must have screwed up my testing or gotten
lucky.

Add another test to cover gettimeofday() as well.

commit 7c03e7035ac1cf2a6165754e4f3a49c2f1977838 upstream.

Now that the vDSO implementation of clock_gettime() is getting
reworked, add a selftest for it.  This tests that its output is
consistent with the syscall version.

This is marked for stable to serve as a test for commit

'error' variable is left uninitialized in case we see an unknown operation.
As we don't immediately return and proceed to pwrite() we need to set it
to something, HV_E_FAIL sounds good enough.

This makes sure that the SyS symbols are ignored for any powerpc system,
not just the big endian ones.

[ Upstream commit a72f64261359b7451f8478f2a2bf357b4e6c757f ]

In the write to the output_fd in the error condition of
record_saved_cmdline(), we are writing 8 bytes from a memory location on
the stack that contains a primitive that is only 4 bytes in size.
Change the primitive to 8 bytes in size to match the size of the write
in order to avoid reading unknown memory from the stack.

[ Upstream commit fd8d2702791a970c751f8b526a17d8e725a05b46 ]

If evsel is NULL, we should return NULL to avoid a NULL pointer
dereference a bit later in the code.
