[ Upstream commit ab4200c17ba6fe71d2da64317aae8a8aa684624c ]

Fix die_entrypc() to return error correctly if the DIE has no
DW_AT_ranges attribute. Since dwarf_ranges() will treat the case as an
empty ranges and return 0, we have to check it by ourselves.

commit e9a6882f267a8105461066e3ea6b4b6b9be1b807 upstream.

Check for ref_reloc_sym before using it instead of checking
symbol_conf.kptr_restrict and relying solely on that check.

<title>perf lock: Don't free "lock_seq_stat" if read_count isn't zero</title>

[ Upstream commit b0e5a05cc9e37763c7f19366d94b1a6160c755bc ]

When execute command "perf lock report", it hits failure and outputs log
as follows:

  perf: builtin-lock.c:623: report_lock_release_event: Assertion `!(seq-&gt;read_count &lt; 0)' failed.
  Aborted

This is an imbalance issue.  The locking sequence structure
"lock_seq_stat" contains the reader counter and it is used to check if
the locking sequence is balance or not between acquiring and releasing.

If the tool wrongly frees "lock_seq_stat" when "read_count" isn't zero,
the "read_count" will be reset to zero when allocate a new structure at
the next time; thus it causes the wrong counting for reader and finally
results in imbalance issue.

To fix this issue, if detects "read_count" is not zero (means still have
read user in the locking sequence), goto the "end" tag to skip freeing
structure "lock_seq_stat".

[ Upstream commit df11f7dd5834146defa448acba097e8d7703cc42 ]

Fix the layout of 'struct desc64' to match the layout described in the
SDM Vol 3, Chapter 3 "Protected-Mode Memory Management", section 3.4.5
"Segment Descriptors", Figure 3-8 "Segment Descriptor".  The test added
later in this series relies on this and crashes if this layout is not
correct.

<title>perf scripting python: Avoid declaring function pointers with a visibility attribute</title>

commit d0e7b0c71fbb653de90a7163ef46912a96f0bdaf upstream.

To avoid this:

  util/scripting-engines/trace-event-python.c: In function 'python_start_script':
  util/scripting-engines/trace-event-python.c:1595:2: error: 'visibility' attribute ignored [-Werror=attributes]
   1595 |  PyMODINIT_FUNC (*initfunc)(void);
        |  ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That started breaking when building with PYTHON=python3 and these gcc
versions (I haven't checked with the clang ones, maybe it breaks there
as well):

  # export PERF_TARBALL=http://192.168.86.5/perf/perf-5.9.0.tar.xz
  # dm  fedora:33 fedora:rawhide
     1   107.80 fedora:33         : Ok   gcc (GCC) 10.2.1 20201005 (Red Hat 10.2.1-5), clang version 11.0.0 (Fedora 11.0.0-1.fc33)
     2    92.47 fedora:rawhide    : Ok   gcc (GCC) 10.2.1 20201016 (Red Hat 10.2.1-6), clang version 11.0.0 (Fedora 11.0.0-1.fc34)
  #

Avoid that by ditching that 'initfunc' function pointer with its:

    #define Py_EXPORTED_SYMBOL _attribute_ ((visibility ("default")))
    #define PyMODINIT_FUNC Py_EXPORTED_SYMBOL PyObject*

And just call PyImport_AppendInittab() at the end of the ifdef python3
block with the functions that were being attributed to that initfunc.

<title>tools: perf: Fix build error in v4.19.y</title>

perf may fail to build in v4.19.y with the following error.

util/evsel.c: In function ‘perf_evsel__exit’:
util/util.h:25:28: error:
	passing argument 1 of ‘free’ discards ‘const’ qualifier from pointer target type

This is observed (at least) with gcc v6.5.0. The underlying problem is
the following statement.
	zfree(&amp;evsel-&gt;pmu_name);
evsel-&gt;pmu_name is decared 'const *'. zfree in turn is defined as
	#define zfree(ptr) ({ free(*ptr); *ptr = NULL; })
and thus passes the const * to free(). The problem is not seen
in the upstream kernel since zfree() has been rewritten there.

The problem has been introduced into v4.19.y with the backport of upstream
commit d4953f7ef1a2 (perf parse-events: Fix 3 use after frees found with
clang ASAN).

One possible fix of this problem would be to not declare pmu_name
as const. This patch chooses to typecast the parameter of zfree()
to void *, following the guidance from the upstream kernel which
does the same since commit 7f7c536f23e6a ("tools lib: Adopt
zalloc()/zfree() from tools/perf")

<title>perf python scripting: Fix printable strings in python3 scripts</title>

commit 6fcd5ddc3b1467b3586972ef785d0d926ae4cdf4 upstream.

Hagen reported broken strings in python3 tracepoint scripts:

  make PYTHON=python3
  perf record -e sched:sched_switch -a -- sleep 5
  perf script --gen-script py
  perf script -s ./perf-script.py

  [..]
  sched__sched_switch      7 563231.759525792        0 swapper   prev_comm=bytearray(b'swapper/7\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00'), prev_pid=0, prev_prio=120, prev_state=, next_comm=bytearray(b'mutex-thread-co\x00'),

The problem is in the is_printable_array function that does not take the
zero byte into account and claim such string as not printable, so the
code will create byte array instead of string.

Committer testing:
