[ 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,
                   from /opt/android-ndk-r12b/platforms/android-24/arch-arm/usr/include/sys/types.h:36,

                   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 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:

[ Upstream commit 2f5302533f306d5ee87bd375aef9ca35b91762cb ]

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]
       strncpy(cpu_m, &amp;buf[13], 255);

commit 808153e1187fa77ac7d7dad261ff476888dcf398 upstream.

devm_memremap_pages() is a facility that can create struct page entries
for any arbitrary range and give drivers the ability to subvert core
aspects of page management.

Specifically the facility is tightly integrated with the kernel's memory
hotplug functionality.  It injects an altmap argument deep into the
architecture specific vmemmap implementation to allow allocating from
specific reserved pages, and it has Linux specific assumptions about page
structure reference counting relative to get_user_pages() and
get_user_pages_fast().  It was an oversight and a mistake that this was
not marked EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL from the outset.

Again, devm_memremap_pagex() exposes and relies upon core kernel internal
assumptions and will continue to evolve along with 'struct page', memory
hotplug, and support for new memory types / topologies.  Only an in-kernel
GPL-only driver is expected to keep up with this ongoing evolution.  This
interface, and functionality derived from this interface, is not suitable
for kernel-external drivers.

commit 11a64a05dc649815670b1be9fe63d205cb076401 upstream.

Depending on which functions are inlined in util/pmu.c, the snprintf()
calls in perf_pmu__parse_{scale,unit,per_pkg,snapshot}() might trigger a
warning:

I found this when trying to build perf from Linux 3.16 with gcc 8.
However I can reproduce the problem in mainline if I force
__perf_pmu__new_alias() to be inlined.

Suppress this by using scnprintf() as has been done elsewhere in perf.

commit 11a64a05dc649815670b1be9fe63d205cb076401 upstream.

Depending on which functions are inlined in util/pmu.c, the snprintf()
calls in perf_pmu__parse_{scale,unit,per_pkg,snapshot}() might trigger a
warning:

<title>objtool: Fix segfault in .cold detection with -ffunction-sections</title>

[ Upstream commit 22566c1603030f0a036ad564634b064ad1a55db2 ]

Because find_symbol_by_name() traverses the same lists as
read_symbols(), changing sym-&gt;name in place without copying it affects
the result of find_symbol_by_name().  In the case where a ".cold"
function precedes its parent in sec-&gt;symbol_list, it can result in a
function being considered a parent of itself. This leads to function
length being set to 0 and other consequent side-effects including a
segfault in add_switch_table().  The effects of this bug are only
visible when building with -ffunction-sections in KCFLAGS.

Fix by copying the search string instead of modifying it in place.

[ Upstream commit 0b9301fb632f7111a3293a30cc5b20f1b82ed08d ]

If read_symbols() fails during second list traversal (the one dealing
with ".cold" subfunctions) it frees the symbol, but never deletes it
from the list/hash_table resulting in symbol being freed again in
elf_close(). Fix it by just returning an error, leaving cleanup to
elf_close().

[ Upstream commit 25d8bcedbf4329895dbaf9dd67baa6f18dad918c ]

Start flood ping for each cpu while loading/flushing rulesets to make
sure we do not access already-free'd rules from nf_tables evaluation loop.

Also add this to TARGETS so 'make run_tests' in selftest dir runs it
automatically.

This would have caught the bug fixed in previous change
("netfilter: nf_tables: do not skip inactive chains during generation update")
sooner.
