[ Upstream commit eeb71c950bc6eee460f2070643ce137e067b234c ]

turbostat could be terminated by general protection fault on some latest
hardwares which (for example) support 9 levels of C-states and show 18
"tADDED" lines. That bloats the total output and finally causes buffer
overrun.  So let's extend the buffer to avoid this.

[ Upstream commit 89eb4d8d25722a0a0194cf7fa47ba602e32a6da7 ]

When building hv_kvp_daemon GCC-8.3 complains:

hv_kvp_daemon.c: In function ‘kvp_get_ip_info.constprop’:
hv_kvp_daemon.c:812:30: warning: ‘ip_buffer’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
  struct hv_kvp_ipaddr_value *ip_buffer;

this seems to be a false positive: we only use ip_buffer when
op == KVP_OP_GET_IP_INFO and it is only unset when op == KVP_OP_ENUMERATE.

Silence the warning by initializing ip_buffer to NULL.

This reverts commit 5f18429ae48faebefc00533cb24afdd01064754c.

Which was upstream commit 53fe307dfd309e425b171f6272d64296a54f4dff.

Ben Hutchings reports that this commit depends on new code added in
v4.18, and so is irrelevant on older kernels, and breaks the build.

[ Upstream commit 6bbfe4e602691b90ac866712bd4c43c51e546a60 ]

Michael reported an issue with perf bench numa failing with binding to
cpu0 with '-0' option.

  # perf bench numa mem -p 3 -t 1 -P 512 -s 100 -zZcm0 --thp 1 -M 1 -ddd
  # Running 'numa/mem' benchmark:

   # Running main, "perf bench numa numa-mem -p 3 -t 1 -P 512 -s 100 -zZcm0 --thp 1 -M 1 -ddd"
  binding to node 0, mask: 0000000000000001 =&gt; -1
  perf: bench/numa.c:356: bind_to_memnode: Assertion `!(ret)' failed.
  Aborted (core dumped)

This happens when the cpu0 is not part of node0, which is the benchmark
assumption and we can see that's not the case for some powerpc servers.

Using correct node for cpu0 binding.

[ Upstream commit 20f9781f491360e7459c589705a2e4b1f136bee9 ]

When building our local version of perf with MSAN (Memory Sanitizer) and
running the perf record command, MSAN throws a use of uninitialized
value warning in "tools/perf/util/util.c:333:6".

This warning stems from the "buf" variable being passed into "write".
It originated as the variable "ev" with the type union perf_event*
defined in the "perf_event__synthesize_attr" function in
"tools/perf/util/header.c".

In the "perf_event__synthesize_attr" function they allocate space with a malloc
call using ev, then go on to only assign some of the member variables before
passing "ev" on as a parameter to the "process" function therefore "ev"
contains uninitialized memory. Changing the malloc call to zalloc to initialize
all the members of "ev" which gets rid of the warning.

To reproduce this warning, build perf by running:
make -C tools/perf CLANG=1 CC=clang EXTRA_CFLAGS="-fsanitize=memory\
 -fsanitize-memory-track-origins"

(Additionally, llvm might have to be installed and clang might have to
be specified as the compiler - export CC=/usr/bin/clang)

then running:
tools/perf/perf record -o - ls / | tools/perf/perf --no-pager annotate\
 -i - --stdio

Please see the cover letter for why false positive warnings may be
generated.

[ Upstream commit 7622236ceb167aa3857395f9bdaf871442aa467e ]

So I have been having lots of trouble with hand-crafted perf.data files
causing segfaults and the like, so I have started fuzzing the perf tool.

First issue found:

If f_header.attr_size is 0 in the perf.data file, then perf will crash
with a divide-by-zero error.

Committer note:

Added a pr_err() to tell the user why the command failed.

So I have been having lots of trouble with hand-crafted perf.data files
causing segfaults and the like, so I have started fuzzing the perf tool.

First issue found:

If f_header.attr_size is 0 in the perf.data file, then perf will crash
with a divide-by-zero error.

[ Upstream commit d95daf5accf4a72005daa13fbb1d1bd8709f2861 ]

When perf_add_probe_events() we call cleanup_perf_probe_events() for the
pev pointer it receives, then, as part of handling this failure the main
'perf probe' goes on and calls cleanup_params() and that will again call
cleanup_perf_probe_events()for the same pointer, so just set nevents to
zero when handling the failure of perf_add_probe_events() to avoid the
double free.
