commit 755396163148b50fe1afb4bdd3365e47f3ff7a42 upstream.

Commit 7ed1c1901fe5 (tools: fix cross-compile var clobbering) removed
setting of LD to $(CROSS_COMPILE)gcc. This broke build of acpica
(acpidump) in power/acpi:
 ld: unrecognized option '-D_LINUX'

The tools pass CFLAGS to the linker (incl. -D_LINUX), so revert this
particular change and let LD be $(CC) again. Note that the old behaviour
was a bit different, it used $(CROSS_COMPILE)gcc which was eliminated by
the commit 7ed1c1901fe5. We use $(CC) for that reason.

commit 808153e1187fa77ac7d7dad261ff476888dcf398 upstream.

devm_memremap_pages() is a facility that can create struct page entries
for any arbitrary range and give drivers the ability to subvert core
aspects of page management.

Specifically the facility is tightly integrated with the kernel's memory
hotplug functionality.  It injects an altmap argument deep into the
architecture specific vmemmap implementation to allow allocating from
specific reserved pages, and it has Linux specific assumptions about page
structure reference counting relative to get_user_pages() and
get_user_pages_fast().  It was an oversight and a mistake that this was
not marked EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL from the outset.

Again, devm_memremap_pagex() exposes and relies upon core kernel internal
assumptions and will continue to evolve along with 'struct page', memory
hotplug, and support for new memory types / topologies.  Only an in-kernel
GPL-only driver is expected to keep up with this ongoing evolution.  This
interface, and functionality derived from this interface, is not suitable
for kernel-external drivers.

commit 7ed1c1901fe52e6c5828deb155920b44b0adabb1 upstream.

Currently a number of Makefiles break when used with toolchains that
pass extra flags in CC and other cross-compile related variables (such
as --sysroot).

Thus we get this error when we use a toolchain that puts --sysroot in
the CC var:

  ~/src/linux/tools$ make iio
  [snip]
  iio_event_monitor.c:18:10: fatal error: unistd.h: No such file or directory
    #include &lt;unistd.h&gt;
             ^~~~~~~~~~

This occurs because we clobber several env vars related to
cross-compiling with lines like this:

  CC = $(CROSS_COMPILE)gcc

Although this will point to a valid cross-compiler, we lose any extra
flags that might exist in the CC variable, which can break toolchains
that rely on them (for example, those that use --sysroot).

This easily shows up using a Yocto SDK:

  $ . [snip]/sdk/environment-setup-cortexa8hf-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi

  $ echo $CC
  arm-poky-linux-gnueabi-gcc -march=armv7-a -mfpu=neon -mfloat-abi=hard
  -mcpu=cortex-a8
  --sysroot=[snip]/sdk/sysroots/cortexa8hf-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi

  $ echo $CROSS_COMPILE
  arm-poky-linux-gnueabi-

  $ echo ${CROSS_COMPILE}gcc
  krm-poky-linux-gnueabi-gcc

Although arm-poky-linux-gnueabi-gcc is a cross-compiler, we've lost the
--sysroot and other flags that enable us to find the right libraries to
link against, so we can't find unistd.h and other libraries and headers.
Normally with the --sysroot flag we would find unistd.h in the sdk
directory in the sysroot:

  $ find [snip]/sdk/sysroots -path '*/usr/include/unistd.h'
  [snip]/sdk/sysroots/cortexa8hf-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi/usr/include/unistd.h

The perf Makefile adds CC = $(CROSS_COMPILE)gcc if and only if CC is not
already set, and it compiles correctly with the above toolchain.

So, generalize the logic that perf uses in the common Makefile and
remove the manual CC = $(CROSS_COMPILE)gcc lines from each Makefile.

Note that this patch does not fix cross-compile for all the tools (some
have other bugs), but it does fix it for all except usb and acpi, which
still have other unrelated issues.

I tested both with and without the patch on native and cross-build and
there appear to be no regressions.

commit 11a64a05dc649815670b1be9fe63d205cb076401 upstream.

Depending on which functions are inlined in util/pmu.c, the snprintf()
calls in perf_pmu__parse_{scale,unit,per_pkg,snapshot}() might trigger a
warning:

  util/pmu.c: In function 'pmu_aliases':
  util/pmu.c:178:31: error: '%s' directive output may be truncated writing up to 255 bytes into a region of size between 0 and 4095 [-Werror=format-truncation=]
    snprintf(path, PATH_MAX, "%s/%s.unit", dir, name);
                               ^~

I found this when trying to build perf from Linux 3.16 with gcc 8.
However I can reproduce the problem in mainline if I force
__perf_pmu__new_alias() to be inlined.

Suppress this by using scnprintf() as has been done elsewhere in perf.

We need to synthesize events first, because some features works on top
of them (on report side).

[ Upstream commit a2015516c5c0be932a69e1d3405c2fb03b4eacf1 ]

We need to synthesize events first, because some features works on top
of them (on report side).

[ Upstream commit 22566c1603030f0a036ad564634b064ad1a55db2 ]

Because find_symbol_by_name() traverses the same lists as
read_symbols(), changing sym-&gt;name in place without copying it affects
the result of find_symbol_by_name().  In the case where a ".cold"
function precedes its parent in sec-&gt;symbol_list, it can result in a
function being considered a parent of itself. This leads to function
length being set to 0 and other consequent side-effects including a
segfault in add_switch_table().  The effects of this bug are only
visible when building with -ffunction-sections in KCFLAGS.

Fix by copying the search string instead of modifying it in place.

[ Upstream commit 0b9301fb632f7111a3293a30cc5b20f1b82ed08d ]

If read_symbols() fails during second list traversal (the one dealing
with ".cold" subfunctions) it frees the symbol, but never deletes it
from the list/hash_table resulting in symbol being freed again in
elf_close(). Fix it by just returning an error, leaving cleanup to
elf_close().

<title>perf tools: Restore proper cwd on return from mnt namespace</title>

[ Upstream commit b01c1f69c8660eaeab7d365cd570103c5c073a02 ]

When reporting on 'record' server we try to retrieve/use the mnt
namespace of the profiled tasks. We use following API with cookie to
hold the return namespace, roughly:

  nsinfo__mountns_enter(struct nsinfo *nsi, struct nscookie *nc)
    setns(newns, 0);
  ...
  new ns related open..
  ...
  nsinfo__mountns_exit(struct nscookie *nc)
    setns(nc-&gt;oldns)

Once finished we setns to old namespace, which also sets the current
working directory (cwd) to "/", trashing the cwd we had.

This is mostly fine, because we use absolute paths almost everywhere,
but it screws up 'perf diff':

  # perf diff
  failed to open perf.data: No such file or directory  (try 'perf record' first)
  ...

Adding the current working directory to be part of the cookie and
restoring it in the nsinfo__mountns_exit call.
