commit 9feeb638cde083c737e295c0547f1b4f28e99583 upstream.

In 2016 GNU Make made a backwards incompatible change to the way '#'
characters were handled in Makefiles when used inside functions or
macros:

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/make.git/commit/?id=c6966b323811c37acedff05b57

Due to this change, when attempting to run `make prepare' I get a
spurious make syntax error:

    /home/earnest/linux/tools/objtool/.fixdep.o.cmd:1: *** missing separator.  Stop.

When inspecting `.fixdep.o.cmd' it includes two lines which use
unescaped comment characters at the top:

    \# cannot find fixdep (/home/earnest/linux/tools/objtool//fixdep)
    \# using basic dep data

This is because `tools/build/Build.include' prints these '\#'
characters:

    printf '\# cannot find fixdep (%s)\n' $(fixdep) &gt; $(dot-target).cmd; \
    printf '\# using basic dep data\n\n' &gt;&gt; $(dot-target).cmd;           \

This completes commit 9564a8cf422d ("Kbuild: fix # escaping in .cmd files
for future Make").

commit 9fb523363f6e3984457fee95bb7019395384ffa7 upstream.

Some Atom CPUs can produce FUP packets that contain NLIP (next linear
instruction pointer) instead of CLIP (current linear instruction
pointer).  That will result in "Unexpected indirect branch" errors. Fix
by comparing IP to NLIP in that case.

commit dd27b87ab5fcf3ea1c060b5e3ab5d31cc78e9f4c upstream.

On some platforms, overflows will clear before MTC wraparound, and there
is no following TSC/TMA packet. In that case the previous TMA is valid.
Since there will be a valid TMA either way, stop setting 'have_tma' to
false upon overflow.

commit dbcb82b93f3e8322891e47472c89e63058b81e99 upstream.

sync_switch is a facility to synchronize decoding more closely with the
point in the kernel when the context actually switched.

In one case, INTEL_PT_SS_NOT_TRACING state was not correctly
transitioning to INTEL_PT_SS_TRACING state due to a missing case clause.
Add it.

[ Upstream commit e3ebaa465136ecfedf9c6f4671df02bf625f8125 ]

Jin Yao reported memory corrupton in perf report with

  &gt; Following command lines will cause perf crash.

For the cumulative output, we allocate the he_cache array based on the
--max-stack option value and populate it with data from 'callchain_cursor'.

The --max-stack option value does not ensure now the limit for number of
callchain_cursor nodes, so the cumulative iter code will allocate smaller array
than it's actually needed and cause above corruption.

I think the --max-stack limit does not apply here anyway, because we add
callchain data as normal hist entries, while the --max-stack control the limit
of single entry callchain depth.

Using the callchain_cursor.nr as he_cache array count to fix this. Also
removing struct hist_entry_iter::max_stack, because there's no longer any use
for it.

We need more fixes to ensure that the branch stack code follows properly the
logic of --max-stack, which is not the case at the moment.

branch info used for stack trace:

  &gt; Following command lines will cause perf crash.

For the cumulative output, we allocate the he_cache array based on the
--max-stack option value and populate it with data from 'callchain_cursor'.

The --max-stack option value does not ensure now the limit for number of
callchain_cursor nodes, so the cumulative iter code will allocate smaller array
than it's actually needed and cause above corruption.

I think the --max-stack limit does not apply here anyway, because we add
callchain data as normal hist entries, while the --max-stack control the limit
of single entry callchain depth.

Using the callchain_cursor.nr as he_cache array count to fix this. Also
removing struct hist_entry_iter::max_stack, because there's no longer any use
for it.

We need more fixes to ensure that the branch stack code follows properly the
logic of --max-stack, which is not the case at the moment.

[ Upstream commit ab6e9a99345131cd8e54268d1d0dc04a33f7ed11 ]

The symbol search called by machine__find_kernel_symbol_by_name is using
internally arch__compare_symbol_names function to compare 2 symbol
names, because different archs have different ways of comparing symbols.
Mostly for skipping '.' prefixes and similar.

In test 1 when we try to find matching symbols in kallsyms and vmlinux,
by address and by symbol name. When either is found we compare the pair
symbol names  by simple strcmp, which is not good enough for reasons
explained in previous paragraph.

On powerpc this can cause lockup, because even thought we found the
pair, the compared names are different and don't match simple strcmp.
Following code path is executed, that leads to lockup:

   - we find the pair in kallsyms by sym-&gt;start
next_pair:
   - we compare the names and it fails
   - we find the pair by sym-&gt;name
   - the pair addresses match so we call goto next_pair
     because we assume the names match in this case
