commit ed5f13261cb65b02c611ae9971677f33581d4286 upstream.

Passing EPERM during syscall skipping was confusing since the test wasn't
actually exercising the errno evaluation -- it was just passing a literal
"1" (EPERM). Instead, expand the tests to check both direct value returns
(positive, 45000 in this case), and errno values (negative, -ESRCH in this
case) to check both fake success and fake failure during syscall skipping.

commit e1812933b17be7814f51b6c310c5d1ced7a9a5f5 upstream.

There was a bug where the per-mm pkey state was not being preserved across
fork() in the child.  fork() is performed in the pkey selftests, but all of
the pkey activity is performed in the parent.  The child does not perform
any actions sensitive to pkey state.

To make the test more sensitive to these kinds of bugs, add a fork() where
the parent exits, and execution continues in the child.

To achieve this let the key exhaustion test not terminate at the first
allocation failure and fork after 2*NR_PKEYS loops and continue in the
child.

[ Upstream commit d7a8c4a6a055097a67ccfa3ca7c9ff1b64603a70 ]

There are systems such as the Android NDK API level 24 has the
open_memstream() function but doesn't provide a prototype, adding noise
to the build:

  builtin-timechart.c: In function 'cat_backtrace':
  builtin-timechart.c:486:2: warning: implicit declaration of function 'open_memstream' [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
    FILE *f = open_memstream(&amp;p, &amp;p_len);
    ^
  builtin-timechart.c:486:2: warning: nested extern declaration of 'open_memstream' [-Wnested-externs]
  builtin-timechart.c:486:12: warning: initialization makes pointer from integer without a cast
    FILE *f = open_memstream(&amp;p, &amp;p_len);
              ^

Define a LACKS_OPEN_MEMSTREAM_PROTOTYPE define so that code needing that
can get a prototype.

Checked in the bionic git repo to be available since level 23:

https://android.googlesource.com/platform/bionic/+/master/libc/include/stdio.h#241

<title>perf cs-etm: Correct packets swapping in cs_etm__flush()</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 43fd56669c28cd354e9228bdb58e4bca1c1a8b66 ]

The structure cs_etm_queue uses 'prev_packet' to point to previous
packet, this can be used to combine with new coming packet to generate
samples.

In function cs_etm__flush() it swaps packets only when the flag
'etm-&gt;synth_opts.last_branch' is true, this means that it will not swap
packets if without option '--itrace=il' to generate last branch entries;
thus for this case the 'prev_packet' doesn't point to the correct
previous packet and the stale packet still will be used to generate
sequential sample.  Thus if dump trace with 'perf script' command we can
see the incorrect flow with the stale packet's address info.

This patch corrects packets swapping in cs_etm__flush(); except using
the flag 'etm-&gt;synth_opts.last_branch' it also checks the another flag
'etm-&gt;sample_branches', if any flag is true then it swaps packets so can
save correct content to 'prev_packet'.  Finally this can fix the wrong
program flow dumping issue.

The patch has a minor refactoring to use 'etm-&gt;synth_opts.last_branch'
instead of 'etmq-&gt;etm-&gt;synth_opts.last_branch' for condition checking,
this is consistent with that is done in cs_etm__sample().

<title>tools lib subcmd: Don't add the kernel sources to the include path</title>

[ Upstream commit ece9804985b57e1ccd83b1fb6288520955a29d51 ]

At some point we decided not to directly include kernel sources files
when building tools/perf/, but when tools/lib/subcmd/ was forked from
tools/perf it somehow ended up adding it via these two lines in its
Makefile:

  CFLAGS += -I$(srctree)/include/uapi
  CFLAGS += -I$(srctree)/include

As $(srctree) points to the kernel sources.

Removing those lines and keeping just:

  CFLAGS += -I$(srctree)/tools/include/

Is enough to build tools/perf and tools/objtool.

This fixes the build when building from the sources in environments such
as the Android NDK crossbuilding from a fedora:26 system:

  subcmd-util.h:11:15: error: expected ',' or ';' before 'void'
   static inline void report(const char *prefix, const char *err, va_list params)
                 ^
  In file included from /git/perf/include/uapi/linux/stddef.h:2:0,
                   from /git/perf/include/uapi/linux/posix_types.h:5,

The /opt/android-ndk-r12b/platforms/android-24/arch-arm/usr/include/sys/types.h
file that includes linux/posix_types.h ends up getting the one in the kernel
sources causing the breakage. Fix it.

Test built tools/objtool/ too.

                   from run-command.c:2:
  subcmd-util.h:18:17: error: '__no_instrument_function__' attribute applies only to functions

The /opt/android-ndk-r12b/platforms/android-24/arch-arm/usr/include/sys/types.h
file that includes linux/posix_types.h ends up getting the one in the kernel
sources causing the breakage. Fix it.

Test built tools/objtool/ too.

[ Upstream commit 51433ead1460fb3f46e1c34f68bb22fd2dd0f5d0 ]

Some 'perf stat' options do not make sense to be negated (event,
cgroup), some do not have negated path implemented (metrics). Due to
that, it is better to disable the "no-" prefix for them, since
otherwise, the later opt-parsing segfaults.

Before:

  $ perf stat --no-metrics -- ls
  Segmentation fault (core dumped)

After:

  $ perf stat --no-metrics -- ls
   Error: option `no-metrics' isn't available
   Usage: perf stat [&lt;options&gt;] [&lt;command&gt;]

[ Upstream commit 91b2b97025097ce7ca7536bc87eba2bf14760fb4 ]

Fix incorrect event names for the Load_Miss_Real_Latency metric for
Skylake and Skylake Server.

Fixes https://github.com/andikleen/pmu-tools/issues/158

Before:

  % perf stat -M Load_Miss_Real_Latency true
  event syntax error: '..ss.pending,mem_load_retired.l1_miss_ps,mem_load_retired.fb_hit_ps}:W'
                                    \___ parser error

   Usage: perf stat [&lt;options&gt;] [&lt;command&gt;]

      -M, --metrics &lt;metric/metric group list&gt;
                            monitor specified metrics or metric groups (separated by ,)

After:

  % perf stat -M Load_Miss_Real_Latency true

   Performance counter stats for 'true':

             279,204      l1d_pend_miss.pending     #     14.0 Load_Miss_Real_Latency

[ Upstream commit bd8d57fb7e25e9fcf67a9eef5fa13aabe2016e07 ]

The strncpy() function may leave the destination string buffer
unterminated, better use strlcpy() that we have a __weak fallback
implementation for systems without it.

This fixes this warning on an Alpine Linux Edge system with gcc 8.2:

The strncpy() function may leave the destination string buffer
unterminated, better use strlcpy() that we have a __weak fallback
implementation for systems without it.

In this specific case this would only happen if fgets() was buggy, as
its man page states that it should read one less byte than the size of
the destination buffer, so that it can put the nul byte at the end of
it, so it would never copy 255 non-nul chars, as fgets reads into the
orig buffer at most 254 non-nul chars and terminates it. But lets just
switch to strlcpy to keep the original intent and silence the gcc 8.2
warning.

This fixes this warning on an Alpine Linux Edge system with gcc 8.2:

  In function 'cpu_model',
      inlined from 'svg_cpu_box' at util/svghelper.c:378:2:
  util/svghelper.c:337:5: error: 'strncpy' output may be truncated copying 255 bytes from a string of length 255 [-Werror=stringop-truncation]
