commit 242483068b4b9ad02f1653819b6e683577681e0e upstream.

In the absence of a fallback, callchains must encode also the callchain
context. Do that now there is no fallback.

commit 5d4f0edaa3ac4f1844ed7c64cd2bae6f1912bac5 upstream.

In the absence of a fallback, samples must provide a correct cpumode for
the 'ip'. Do that now there is no fallback.

<title>perf callchain: Honour the ordering of PERF_CONTEXT_{USER,KERNEL,etc}</title>

commit e9024d519d892b38176cafd46f68a7cdddd77412 upstream.

When processing using 'perf report -g caller', which is the default, we
ended up reverting the callchain entries received from the kernel, but
simply reverting throws away the information that tells that from a
point onwards the addresses are for userspace, kernel, guest kernel,
guest user, hypervisor.

The idea is that if we are walking backwards, for each cluster of
non-cpumode entries we have to first scan backwards for the next one and
use that for the cluster.

This seems silly and more expensive than it needs to be but it is enough
for a initial fix.

The code here is really complicated because it is intimately intertwined
with the lbr and branch handling, as well as this callchain order,
further fixes will be needed to properly take into account the cpumode
in those cases.

Another problem with ORDER_CALLER is that the NULL "0" IP that is at the
end of most callchains shows up at the top of the histogram because
every callchain contains it and with ORDER_CALLER it is the first entry.

<title>perf stat: Handle different PMU names with common prefix</title>

commit ea1fa48c055f833eb25f0c33188feecb7002ada5 upstream.

On s390 the CPU Measurement Facility for counters now supports
2 PMUs named cpum_cf (CPU Measurement Facility for counters) and
cpum_cf_diag (CPU Measurement Facility for diagnostic counters)
for one and the same CPU.

Running command

 [root@s35lp76 perf]# ./perf stat -e tx_c_tend \
	 -- ~/mytests/cf-tx-events 1

 Measuring transactions
 TX_C_TABORT_NO_SPECIAL: 0 expected:0
 TX_C_TABORT_SPECIAL: 0 expected:0
 TX_C_TEND: 1 expected:1
 TX_NC_TABORT: 11 expected:11
 TX_NC_TEND: 1 expected:1

 Performance counter stats for '/root/mytests/cf-tx-events 1':

  2      tx_c_tend

      0.002120091 seconds time elapsed

      0.000121000 seconds user
      0.002127000 seconds sys

 [root@s35lp76 perf]#

displays output which is unexpected (and wrong):

  2      tx_c_tend

The test program definitely triggers only one transaction, as shown
in line 'TX_C_TEND: 1 expected:1'.

This is caused by the following call sequence:

pmu_lookup() scans and installs a PMU.
+--&gt; pmu_aliases() parses all aliases in directory
		.../&lt;pmu-name&gt;/events/* which are file names.
     +--&gt; pmu_aliases_parse() Read each file in directory and create
                      an new alias entry. This is done with
          +--&gt; perf_pmu__new_alias() and
	       +--&gt; __perf_pmu__new_alias() which also check for
	                   identical alias names.

After pmu_aliases() returns, a complete list of event names
for this pmu has been created. Now function

pmu_add_cpu_aliases()   is called to add the events listed in the json
|                       files to the alias list of the cpu.
+--&gt; perf_pmu__find_map()  Returns a pointer to the json events.

Now function pmu_add_cpu_aliases() scans through all events listed
in the JSON files for this CPU.
Each json event pmu name is compared with the current PMU being
built up and if they mismatch, the json event is added to the
current PMUs alias list.
To avoid duplicate entries the following comparison is done:

	if (!is_arm_pmu_core(name)) {
	     pname = pe-&gt;pmu ? pe-&gt;pmu : "cpu";
	     if (strncmp(pname, name, strlen(pname)))
		     continue;
     }

The culprit is the strncmp() function.

Using current s390 PMU naming, the first PMU is 'cpum_cf'
and a long list of events is added, among them 'tx_c_tend'

When the second PMU named 'cpum_cf_diag' is added, only one event
named 'CF_DIAG' is added by the pmu_aliases()  function.

Now function pmu_add_cpu_aliases() is invoked for PMU 'cpum_cf_diag'.
Since the CPUID string is the same for both PMUs, json file events
for PMU named 'cpum_cf' are added to the PMU 'cpm_cf_diag'

This happens because the strncmp() actually compares:

     strncmp("cpum_cf", "cpum_cf_diag", 6);

The first parameter is the pmu name taken from the event in
the json file. The second parameter is the pmu name of the PMU
currently being built.
They are different, but the length of the compare only tests the
common prefix and this returns 0(true) when it should return false.

Now all events for PMU cpum_cf are added to the alias list for pmu
cpum_cf_diag.

Later on in function parse_events_add_pmu() the event 'tx_c_end' is
searched in all available PMUs and found twice, adding it two
times to the evsel_list global variable which is the root
of all events. This results in a counter value of 2 instead
of 1.

Output with this patch:

<title>perf cs-etm: Correct CPU mode for samples</title>

commit d6c9c05fe1eb4b213b183d8a1e79416256dc833a upstream.

Since commit edeb0c90df35 ("perf tools: Stop fallbacking to kallsyms for
vdso symbols lookup"), the kernel address cannot be properly parsed to
kernel symbol with command 'perf script -k vmlinux'.  The reason is
CoreSight samples is always to set CPU mode as PERF_RECORD_MISC_USER,
thus it fails to find corresponding map/dso in below flows:

  process_sample_event()
    `-&gt; machine__resolve()
	  `-&gt; thread__find_map(thread, sample-&gt;cpumode, sample-&gt;ip, al);

In this flow it needs to pass argument 'sample-&gt;cpumode' to tell what's
the CPU mode, before it always passed PERF_RECORD_MISC_USER but without
any failure until the commit edeb0c90df35 ("perf tools: Stop fallbacking
to kallsyms for vdso symbols lookup") has been merged.  The reason is
even with the wrong CPU mode the function thread__find_map() firstly
fails to find map but it will rollback to find kernel map for vdso
symbols lookup.  In the latest code it has removed the fallback code,
thus if CPU mode is PERF_RECORD_MISC_USER then it cannot find map
anymore with kernel address.

This patch is to correct samples CPU mode setting, it creates a new
helper function cs_etm__cpu_mode() to tell what's the CPU mode based on
the address with the info from machine structure; this patch has a bit
extension to check not only kernel and user mode, but also check for
host/guest and hypervisor mode.  Finally this patch uses the function in
instruction and branch samples and also apply in cs_etm__mem_access()
for a minor polishing.

commit d6c9c05fe1eb4b213b183d8a1e79416256dc833a upstream.

Since commit edeb0c90df35 ("perf tools: Stop fallbacking to kallsyms for
vdso symbols lookup"), the kernel address cannot be properly parsed to
kernel symbol with command 'perf script -k vmlinux'.  The reason is
CoreSight samples is always to set CPU mode as PERF_RECORD_MISC_USER,
thus it fails to find corresponding map/dso in below flows:

  process_sample_event()
    `-&gt; machine__resolve()
	  `-&gt; thread__find_map(thread, sample-&gt;cpumode, sample-&gt;ip, al);

In this flow it needs to pass argument 'sample-&gt;cpumode' to tell what's
the CPU mode, before it always passed PERF_RECORD_MISC_USER but without
any failure until the commit edeb0c90df35 ("perf tools: Stop fallbacking
to kallsyms for vdso symbols lookup") has been merged.  The reason is
even with the wrong CPU mode the function thread__find_map() firstly
fails to find map but it will rollback to find kernel map for vdso
symbols lookup.  In the latest code it has removed the fallback code,
thus if CPU mode is PERF_RECORD_MISC_USER then it cannot find map
anymore with kernel address.

This patch is to correct samples CPU mode setting, it creates a new
helper function cs_etm__cpu_mode() to tell what's the CPU mode based on
the address with the info from machine structure; this patch has a bit
extension to check not only kernel and user mode, but also check for
host/guest and hypervisor mode.  Finally this patch uses the function in
instruction and branch samples and also apply in cs_etm__mem_access()
for a minor polishing.

[ Upstream commit 693b31b2fc1636f0aa7af53136d3b49f6ad9ff39 ]

Test tm-tmspr might exit before all threads stop executing, because it just
waits for the very last thread to join before proceeding/exiting.

This patch makes sure that all threads that were created will join before
proceeding/exiting.

This patch also guarantees that the amount of threads being created is equal
to thread_num.

commit 48dc0ef19044bfb69193302fbe3a834e3331b7ae upstream.

Test ptrace-tm-spd-gpr fails on current kernel (4.19) due to a segmentation
fault that happens on the child process prior to setting cptr[2] = 1. This
causes the parent process to wait forever at 'while (!pptr[2])' and the test to
be killed by the test harness framework by timeout, thus, failing.

The segmentation fault happens because of a inline assembly being
generated as:

	0x10000355c &lt;tm_spd_gpr+492&gt;    lfs    f0, 0(0)

This is reading memory position 0x0 and causing the segmentation fault.

This code is being generated by ASM_LOAD_FPR_SINGLE_PRECISION(flt_4), where
flt_4 is passed to the inline assembly block as:

	[flt_4] "r" (&amp;d)

Since the inline assembly 'r' constraint means any GPR, gpr0 is being
chosen, thus causing this issue when issuing a Load Floating-Point Single
instruction.

This patch simply changes the constraint to 'b', which specify that this
register will be used as base, and r0 is not allowed to be used, avoiding
this issue.

Other than that, removing flt_2 register from the input operands, since it
is not used by the inline assembly code at all.

<title>selftests/ftrace: Fix synthetic event test to delete event correctly</title>

commit 0d0352d8b3d6d7ca9a710b40e194cbbaeb841c88 upstream.

Fix the synthetic event test case to remove event correctly.
If redirecting command to synthetic_event file without append
mode, it cleans up all existing events and execute (parse) the
command. This means "delete event" always fails to find the
target event.

Since previous synthetic event has a bug which doesn't return
-ENOENT even if it fails to find the deleting event, this test
passed. But fixing that bug, this test fails because this test
itself has a bug.

This fixes that bug by trying to delete event right after
adding an event, and use append mode redirection ('&gt;&gt;') instead
of normal redirection ('&gt;').

[ Upstream commit 1632936480a53d85ef3012cd9f290e247251cbb9 ]

When we don't have the iputils-debuginfo package installed, i.e. when we
don't have the DWARF information needed to resolve ping's samples, we
end up failing this 'perf test' entry:

  # perf test ping
  62: probe libc's inet_pton &amp; backtrace it with ping       : Ok
  # rpm -e iputils-debuginfo
  # perf test ping
  62: probe libc's inet_pton &amp; backtrace it with ping       : FAILED!
  #

Fix it to accept "[unknown]" where the symbol + offset, when resolved,
is expected.

I think this will fail in the other arches as well, but since I can't
test now, I'm leaving s390x and ppc cases as-is.
