[ 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.

Fix decompression failure found during the loading of compressed trace
collected on larger scale systems (&gt;48 cores).

The error happened due to lack of decompression space for a mmaped
buffer data chunk split across adjacent PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED records.

  $ perf report -i bt.16384.data --stats

<title>perf stat: Fix segfault for event group in repeat mode</title>

[ Upstream commit 08ef3af1579d0446db1c1bd08e2c42565addf10f ]

Numfor Mbiziwo-Tiapo reported segfault on stat of event group in repeat
mode:

  # perf stat -e '{cycles,instructions}' -r 10 ls

It's caused by memory corruption due to not cleaned evsel's id array and
index, which needs to be rebuilt in every stat iteration. Currently the
ids index grows, while the array (which is also not freed) has the same
size.

Fixing this by releasing id array and zeroing ids index in
perf_evsel__close function.

We also need to keep the evsel_list alive for stat record (which is
disabled in repeat mode).

[ Upstream commit 79b2fe5e756163897175a8f57d66b26cd9befd59 ]

After Song Liu's segfault fix for pipe mode, Arnaldo reported following
error:

  # perf record -o - | perf script
  0x514 [0x1ac]: failed to process type: 80

It's caused by wrong buffer size setup in feature processing, which
makes cpu topology feature fail, because it's using buffer size to
recognize its header version.

<title>perf record: Fix module size on s390</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux-stable.git/commit/?id=4d94b30f55709b6dca93896db0789f719ec005a1'/>
<id>4d94b30f55709b6dca93896db0789f719ec005a1</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 12a6d2940b5f02b4b9f71ce098e3bb02bc24a9ea upstream.

On s390 the modules loaded in memory have the text segment located after
the GOT and Relocation table. This can be seen with this output:

  [root@m35lp76 perf]# fgrep qeth /proc/modules
  qeth 151552 1 qeth_l2, Live 0x000003ff800b2000
  ...
  [root@m35lp76 perf]# cat /sys/module/qeth/sections/.text
  0x000003ff800b3990
  [root@m35lp76 perf]#

There is an offset of 0x1990 bytes. The size of the qeth module is
151552 bytes (0x25000 in hex).

The location of the GOT/relocation table at the beginning of a module is
unique to s390.

commit 203d8a4aa6ed ("perf s390: Fix 'start' address of module's map")
adjusts the start address of a module in the map structures, but does
not adjust the size of the modules. This leads to overlapping of module
maps as this example shows:

[root@m35lp76 perf] # ./perf report -D
     0 0 0xfb0 [0xa0]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP -1/0: [0x3ff800b3990(0x25000)
          @ 0]:  x /lib/modules/.../qeth.ko.xz
     0 0 0x1050 [0xb0]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP -1/0: [0x3ff800d85a0(0x8000)
          @ 0]:  x /lib/modules/.../ip6_tables.ko.xz

The module qeth.ko has an adjusted start address modified to b3990, but
its size is unchanged and the module ends at 0x3ff800d8990.  This end
address overlaps with the next modules start address of 0x3ff800d85a0.

When the size of the leading GOT/Relocation table stored in the
beginning of the text segment (0x1990 bytes) is subtracted from module
qeth end address, there are no overlaps anymore:

   0x3ff800d8990 - 0x1990 = 0x0x3ff800d7000

which is the same as

   0x3ff800b2000 + 0x25000 = 0x0x3ff800d7000.

To fix this issue, also adjust the modules size in function
arch__fix_module_text_start(). Add another function parameter named size
and reduce the size of the module when the text segment start address is
changed.

commit 12a6d2940b5f02b4b9f71ce098e3bb02bc24a9ea upstream.

On s390 the modules loaded in memory have the text segment located after
the GOT and Relocation table. This can be seen with this output:

  [root@m35lp76 perf]# fgrep qeth /proc/modules
  qeth 151552 1 qeth_l2, Live 0x000003ff800b2000
  ...
  [root@m35lp76 perf]# cat /sys/module/qeth/sections/.text
  0x000003ff800b3990
  [root@m35lp76 perf]#

There is an offset of 0x1990 bytes. The size of the qeth module is
151552 bytes (0x25000 in hex).

The location of the GOT/relocation table at the beginning of a module is
unique to s390.

commit 203d8a4aa6ed ("perf s390: Fix 'start' address of module's map")
adjusts the start address of a module in the map structures, but does
not adjust the size of the modules. This leads to overlapping of module
maps as this example shows:

[root@m35lp76 perf] # ./perf report -D
     0 0 0xfb0 [0xa0]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP -1/0: [0x3ff800b3990(0x25000)
          @ 0]:  x /lib/modules/.../qeth.ko.xz
     0 0 0x1050 [0xb0]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP -1/0: [0x3ff800d85a0(0x8000)
          @ 0]:  x /lib/modules/.../ip6_tables.ko.xz

The module qeth.ko has an adjusted start address modified to b3990, but
its size is unchanged and the module ends at 0x3ff800d8990.  This end
address overlaps with the next modules start address of 0x3ff800d85a0.

When the size of the leading GOT/Relocation table stored in the
beginning of the text segment (0x1990 bytes) is subtracted from module
qeth end address, there are no overlaps anymore:

   0x3ff800d8990 - 0x1990 = 0x0x3ff800d7000

which is the same as

   0x3ff800b2000 + 0x25000 = 0x0x3ff800d7000.

To fix this issue, also adjust the modules size in function
arch__fix_module_text_start(). Add another function parameter named size
and reduce the size of the module when the text segment start address is
changed.

commit 3de7ae0b2a1d86dbb23d0cb135150534fdb2e836 upstream.

Threads synthesized from /proc have comms with a start time of zero, and
not marked as "exec". Currently, there can be 2 such comms. The first is
created by processing a synthesized fork event and is set to the
parent's comm string, and the second by processing a synthesized comm
event set to the thread's current comm string.

In the absence of an "exec" comm, thread__exec_comm() picks the last
(oldest) comm, which, in the case above, is the parent's comm string.
For a main thread, that is very probably wrong. Use the second-to-last
in that case.

This affects only db-export because it is the only user of
thread__exec_comm().

Example:

  $ sudo perf record -a -o pt-a-sleep-1 -e intel_pt//u -- sleep 1
  $ sudo chown ahunter pt-a-sleep-1

Before:

  $ perf script -i pt-a-sleep-1 --itrace=bep -s tools/perf/scripts/python/export-to-sqlite.py pt-a-sleep-1.db branches calls
  $ sqlite3 -header -column pt-a-sleep-1.db 'select * from comm_threads_view'

<title>perf annotate: Fix s390 gap between kernel end and module start</title>

commit b9c0a64901d5bdec6eafd38d1dc8fa0e2974fccb upstream.

During execution of command 'perf top' the error message:

   Not enough memory for annotating '__irf_end' symbol!)

is emitted from this call sequence:
  __cmd_top
    perf_top__mmap_read
      perf_top__mmap_read_idx
        perf_event__process_sample
          hist_entry_iter__add
            hist_iter__top_callback
              perf_top__record_precise_ip
                hist_entry__inc_addr_samples
                  symbol__inc_addr_samples
                    symbol__get_annotation
                      symbol__alloc_hist

In this function the size of symbol __irf_end is calculated. The size of
a symbol is the difference between its start and end address.

When the symbol was read the first time, its start and end was set to:

   symbol__new: __irf_end 0xe954d0-0xe954d0

which is correct and maps with /proc/kallsyms:

   root@s8360046:~/linux-4.15.0/tools/perf# fgrep _irf_end /proc/kallsyms
   0000000000e954d0 t __irf_end
   root@s8360046:~/linux-4.15.0/tools/perf#

In function symbol__alloc_hist() the end of symbol __irf_end is

  symbol__alloc_hist sym:__irf_end start:0xe954d0 end:0x3ff80045a8

which is identical with the first module entry in /proc/kallsyms

This results in a symbol size of __irf_req for histogram analyses of
70334140059072 bytes and a malloc() for this requested size fails.

The root cause of this is function
  __dso__load_kallsyms()
  +-&gt; symbols__fixup_end()

Function symbols__fixup_end() enlarges the last symbol in the kallsyms
map:

   # fgrep __irf_end /proc/kallsyms
   0000000000e954d0 t __irf_end
   #

to the start address of the first module:
   # cat /proc/kallsyms | sort  | egrep ' [tT] '
   ....
   0000000000e952d0 T __security_initcall_end
   0000000000e954d0 T __initramfs_size
   0000000000e954d0 t __irf_end
   000003ff800045a8 T fc_get_event_number       [scsi_transport_fc]
   000003ff800045d0 t store_fc_vport_disable    [scsi_transport_fc]
   000003ff800046a8 T scsi_is_fc_rport  [scsi_transport_fc]
   000003ff800046d0 t fc_target_setup   [scsi_transport_fc]

On s390 the kernel is located around memory address 0x200, 0x10000 or
0x100000, depending on linux version. Modules however start some- where
around 0x3ff xxxx xxxx.

This is different than x86 and produces a large gap for which histogram
allocation fails.

Fix this by detecting the kernel's last symbol and do no adjustment for
it. Introduce a weak function and handle s390 specifics.

[ Upstream commit 13978d1e73d2fcfb6addcf3392707ad68fa88ccb ]

Given the increasing number of BPF selftests, it makes sense to
reduce the time to execute these tests.  The ping parameters are
adjusted to reduce the time from measures 9 sec to approx 2.8 sec.
