commit db2c549407d4a76563c579e4768f7d6d32afefba upstream.

This patch fixes an off-by-one error in strncpy size argument in
tools/perf/util/map.c. The issue is that in:

        strncmp(filename, "/system/lib/", 11)

the passed string literal: "/system/lib/" has 12 bytes (without the NULL
byte) and the passed size argument is 11. As a result, the logic won't
match the ending "/" byte and will pass filepaths that are stored in
other directories e.g. "/system/libmalicious/bin" or just
"/system/libmalicious".

This functionality seems to be present only on Android. I assume the
/system/ directory is only writable by the root user, so I don't think
this bug has much (or any) security impact.

Fixes: eca818369996 ("perf tools: Add automatic remapping of Android libraries")

<title>tools: Let O= makes handle a relative path with -C option</title>

[ Upstream commit be40920fbf1003c38ccdc02b571e01a75d890c82 ]

When I tried to compile tools/perf from the top directory with the -C
option, the O= option didn't work correctly if I passed a relative path:

  $ make O=BUILD -C tools/perf/
  make: Entering directory '/home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux/tools/perf'
    BUILD:   Doing 'make -j8' parallel build
  ../scripts/Makefile.include:4: *** O=/home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux/tools/perf/BUILD does not exist.  Stop.
  make: *** [Makefile:70: all] Error 2
  make: Leaving directory '/home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux/tools/perf'

The O= directory existence check failed because the check script ran in
the build target directory instead of the directory where I ran the make
command.

To fix that, once change directory to $(PWD) and check O= directory,
since the PWD is set to where the make command runs.

commit 1efde2754275dbd9d11c6e0132a4f09facf297ab upstream.

Do not depend on dwfl_module_addrsym() because it can fail on user-space
shared libraries.

Actually, same bug was fixed by commit 664fee3dc379 ("perf probe: Do not
use dwfl_module_addrsym if dwarf_diename finds symbol name"), but commit
07d369857808 ("perf probe: Fix wrong address verification) reverted to
get actual symbol address from symtab.

This fixes it again by getting symbol address from DIE, and only if the
DIE has only address range, it uses dwfl_module_addrsym().

[ Upstream commit 2de7fb60a4740135e03cf55c1982e393ccb87b6b ]

Building cpupower with -fno-common in CFLAGS results in errors due to
multiple definitions of the 'cpu_count' and 'start_time' variables.

./utils/idle_monitor/snb_idle.o:./utils/idle_monitor/cpupower-monitor.h:28:
multiple definition of `cpu_count';

multiple definition of `start_time';
./utils/idle_monitor/amd_fam14h_idle.o:./utils/idle_monitor/amd_fam14h_idle.c:85:
first defined here

The -fno-common option will be enabled by default in GCC 10.

Fix unsafe unaligned pointer usage in usbip network interfaces. usbip tool

[ Upstream commit 6794200fa3c9c3e6759dae099145f23e4310f4f7 ]

GCC9 introduced string hardening mechanisms, which exhibits the error
during fs api compilation:

error: '__builtin_strncpy' specified bound 4096 equals destination size
[-Werror=stringop-truncation]

This comes when the length of copy passed to strncpy is is equal to
destination size, which could potentially lead to buffer overflow.

There is a need to mitigate this potential issue by limiting the size of
destination by 1 and explicitly terminate the destination with NULL.

commit 07d369857808b7e8e471bbbbb0074a6718f89b31 upstream.

Since there are some DIE which has only ranges instead of the
combination of entrypc/highpc, address verification must use
dwarf_haspc() instead of dwarf_entrypc/dwarf_highpc.

Also, the ranges only DIE will have a partial code in different section
(e.g. unlikely code will be in text.unlikely as "FUNC.cold" symbol). In
that case, we can not use dwarf_entrypc() or die_entrypc(), because the
offset from original DIE can be a minus value.

Instead, this simply gets the symbol and offset from symtab.

Without this patch;

  # perf probe -D clear_tasks_mm_cpumask:1
  Failed to get entry address of clear_tasks_mm_cpumask
    Error: Failed to add events.

And with this patch:

  # perf probe -D clear_tasks_mm_cpumask:1
  p:probe/clear_tasks_mm_cpumask clear_tasks_mm_cpumask+0
  p:probe/clear_tasks_mm_cpumask_1 clear_tasks_mm_cpumask+5
  p:probe/clear_tasks_mm_cpumask_2 clear_tasks_mm_cpumask+8
  p:probe/clear_tasks_mm_cpumask_3 clear_tasks_mm_cpumask+16
  p:probe/clear_tasks_mm_cpumask_4 clear_tasks_mm_cpumask+82

Committer testing:

I managed to reproduce the above:

  [root@quaco ~]# perf probe -D clear_tasks_mm_cpumask:1
  p:probe/clear_tasks_mm_cpumask _text+919968
  p:probe/clear_tasks_mm_cpumask_1 _text+919973
  p:probe/clear_tasks_mm_cpumask_2 _text+919976
  [root@quaco ~]#

But then when trying to actually put the probe in place, it fails if I
use :0 as the offset:

  [root@quaco ~]# perf probe -L clear_tasks_mm_cpumask | head -5
  &lt;clear_tasks_mm_cpumask@/usr/src/debug/kernel-5.2.fc30/linux-5.2.18-200.fc30.x86_64/kernel/cpu.c:0&gt;
        0  void clear_tasks_mm_cpumask(int cpu)
        1  {
        2  	struct task_struct *p;

  [root@quaco ~]# perf probe clear_tasks_mm_cpumask:0
  Probe point 'clear_tasks_mm_cpumask' not found.
    Error: Failed to add events.
  [root@quaco

The next patch is needed to fix this case.

[ Upstream commit af9cb29c5488381083b0b5ccdfb3cd931063384a ]

As the rseq selftests can run for a long period of time, disable the
timeout that the general selftests have.

[ Upstream commit 5b596e0ff0e1852197d4c82d3314db5e43126bf7 ]

To avoid breaking the build on arches where this is not wired up, at
least all the other features should be made available and when using
this specific routine, the "unknown" should point the user/developer to
the need to wire this up on this particular hardware architecture.

Detected in a container mipsel debian cross build environment, where it
shows up as:
