commit b6313899f4ed2e76b8375cf8069556f5b94fbff0 upstream.

Since we make sure the destination buffer has at least strlen(orig) + 1,
no need to do a strncpy(dest, orig, strlen(orig)), just use strcpy(dest,
orig).

This silences this gcc 8.2 warning on Alpine Linux:

  In function 'add_man_viewer',
      inlined from 'perf_help_config' at builtin-help.c:284:3:
  builtin-help.c:192:2: error: 'strncpy' output truncated before terminating nul copying as many bytes from a string as its length [-Werror=stringop-truncation]

<title>perf ui helpline: Use strlcpy() as a shorter form of strncpy() + explicit set nul</title>

commit 4d0f16d059ddb91424480d88473f7392f24aebdc upstream.

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 case we are actually setting the null byte at the right place,
but since we pass the buffer size as the limit to strncpy() and not
it minus one, gcc ends up warning us about that, see below. So, lets
just switch to the shorter form provided by strlcpy().

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

  ui/tui/helpline.c: In function 'tui_helpline__push':
  ui/tui/helpline.c:27:2: error: 'strncpy' specified bound 512 equals destination size [-Werror=stringop-truncation]
    strncpy(ui_helpline__current, msg, sz)[sz - 1] = '\0';

commit ba4aa02b417f08a0bee5e7b8ed70cac788a7c854 upstream.

So that we reduce the difference of tools/include/linux/bitops.h to the
original kernel file, include/linux/bitops.h, trying to remove the need
to define BITS_PER_LONG, to avoid clashes with asm/bitsperlong.h.

And the things removed from tools/include/linux/bitops.h are really in
linux/bits.h, so that we can have a copy and then
tools/perf/check_headers.sh will tell us when new stuff gets added to
linux/bits.h so that we can check if it is useful and if any adjustment
needs to be done to the tools/{include,arch}/ copies.

[ Upstream commit bf561d3c13423fc54daa19b5d49dc15fafdb7acc ]

While cross building perf to the ARC architecture on a fedora 30 host,
we were failing with:

Trying to reproduce a report by Vineet, I noticed that, with just
cross-built zlib and numactl libraries, I ended up with the above
failure.

So, since RUSAGE_THREAD is available as a define, check for that and
numactl libraries, I ended up with the above failure.

So, since RUSAGE_THREAD is available as a define in the system headers,
check if it is defined in the 'perf bench numa' sources and define it if
not.

Now it builds and I have to figure out if the problem reported by Vineet
only takes place if we have libelf or some other library available.

commit 1b6599a9d8e6c9f7e9b0476012383b1777f7fc93 upstream.

The sample timestamp is updated to ensure that the timestamp represents
the time of the sample and not a branch that the decoder is still
walking towards. The sample timestamp is updated when the decoder
returns, but the decoder does not return for non-taken branches. Update
the sample timestamp then also.

Note that commit 3f04d98e972b5 ("perf intel-pt: Improve sample
timestamp") was also a stable fix and appears, for example, in v4.4
stable tree as commit a4ebb58fd124 ("perf intel-pt: Improve sample

commit 61b6e08dc8e3ea80b7485c9b3f875ddd45c8466b upstream.

The decoder uses its current timestamp in samples. Usually that is a
timestamp that has already passed, but in some cases it is a timestamp
for a branch that the decoder is walking towards, and consequently
hasn't reached.

The intel_pt_sample_time() function decides which is which, but was not
handling TNT packets exactly correctly.

In the case of TNT, the timestamp applies to the first branch, so the
decoder must first walk to that branch.

That means intel_pt_sample_time() should return true for TNT, and this
patch makes that change. However, if the first branch is a non-taken
branch (i.e. a 'N'), then intel_pt_sample_time() needs to return false
for subsequent taken branches in the same TNT packet.

To handle that, introduce a new state INTEL_PT_STATE_TNT_CONT to
distinguish the cases.

Note that commit 3f04d98e972b5 ("perf intel-pt: Improve sample
timestamp") was also a stable fix and appears, for example, in v4.4
stable tree as commit a4ebb58fd124 ("perf intel-pt: Improve sample

commit 61b6e08dc8e3ea80b7485c9b3f875ddd45c8466b upstream.

The decoder uses its current timestamp in samples. Usually that is a
timestamp that has already passed, but in some cases it is a timestamp
for a branch that the decoder is walking towards, and consequently
hasn't reached.

The intel_pt_sample_time() function decides which is which, but was not
handling TNT packets exactly correctly.

In the case of TNT, the timestamp applies to the first branch, so the
decoder must first walk to that branch.

That means intel_pt_sample_time() should return true for TNT, and this
patch makes that change. However, if the first branch is a non-taken
branch (i.e. a 'N'), then intel_pt_sample_time() needs to return false
for subsequent taken branches in the same TNT packet.

To handle that, introduce a new state INTEL_PT_STATE_TNT_CONT to
distinguish the cases.

Note that commit 3f04d98e972b5 ("perf intel-pt: Improve sample
timestamp") was also a stable fix and appears, for example, in v4.4
stable tree as commit a4ebb58fd124 ("perf intel-pt: Improve sample

commit 7ba8fa20e26eb3c0c04d747f7fd2223694eac4d5 upstream.

The timestamp used to determine if an instruction sample is made, is an
estimate based on the number of instructions since the last known
timestamp. A consequence is that it might go backwards, which results in
extra samples. Change it so that a sample is only made when the
timestamp goes forwards.

Note this does not affect a sampling period of 0 or sampling periods
specified as a count of instructions.

Example:

 Before:

 $ perf script --itrace=i10us

commit d8eabc37310a92df40d07c5a8afc53cebf996716 upstream.

Greg pointed out that speculation related bit defines are using (1 &lt;&lt; N)
format instead of BIT(N). Aside of that (1 &lt;&lt; N) is wrong as it should use
1UL at least.

Clean it up.
