[ Upstream commit 5597432dde62befd3ab92e6ef9e073564e277ea8 ]

Calling generic selftests "make install" fails as rsync expects all
files from TEST_GEN_PROGS to be present. The binary is not generated
anymore (commit 3b09d27cc93d) so we can safely remove it from there
and also from gitignore.

[ Upstream commit 15728ad3e71c120278105f20fa65b3735e715e0f ]

Libbpf built in 32-bit mode should be careful about not conflating 64-bit BPF
pointers in BPF ELF file and host architecture pointers. This patch fixes
issue of incorrect initializating of map-in-map inner map slots due to such
difference.

<title>tools/bpftool: Make skeleton code C++17-friendly by dropping typeof()</title>

[ Upstream commit 8faf7fc597d59b142af41ddd4a2d59485f75f88a ]

Seems like C++17 standard mode doesn't recognize typeof() anymore. This can
be tested by compiling test_cpp test with -std=c++17 or -std=c++1z options.
The use of typeof in skeleton generated code is unnecessary, all types are
well-known at the time of code generation, so remove all typeof()'s to make
skeleton code more future-proof when interacting with C++ compilers.

<title>selftests: kvm: Use a shorter encoding to clear RAX</title>

commit 98b0bf02738004829d7e26d6cb47b2e469aaba86 upstream.

If debug_regs.c is built with newer binutils, the resulting binary is "optimized"
by the assembler:

asm volatile("ss_start: "
             "xor %%rax,%%rax\n\t"
             "cpuid\n\t"
             "movl $0x1a0,%%ecx\n\t"
             "rdmsr\n\t"
             : : : "rax", "ecx");

is translated to :

  000000000040194e &lt;ss_start&gt;:
  40194e:       31 c0                   xor    %eax,%eax     &lt;----- rax-&gt;eax?
  401950:       0f a2                   cpuid
  401952:       b9 a0 01 00 00          mov    $0x1a0,%ecx
  401957:       0f 32                   rdmsr

As you can see rax is replaced with eax in target binary code.
This causes a difference is the length of xor instruction (2 Byte vs 3 Byte),
and makes the hard-coded instruction length check fail:

        /* Instruction lengths starting at ss_start */
        int ss_size[4] = {
                3,              /* xor */   &lt;-------- 2 or 3?
                2,              /* cpuid */
                5,              /* mov */
                2,              /* rdmsr */
        };

Encode the shorter version directly and, while at it, fix the "clobbers"
of the asm.

[ Upstream commit fa5c893181ed2ca2f96552f50073786d2cfce6c0 ]

When using a cross-compilation environment, such as OpenEmbedded,
the CC an CXX variables are set to something more than just a
command: there are arguments (such as --sysroot) that need to be
passed on to the compiler so that the right set of headers and
libraries are used.

For the particular case that our systems detected, CC is set to
the following:

  export CC="aarch64-linaro-linux-gcc  --sysroot=/oe/build/tmp/work/machine/perf/1.0-r9/recipe-sysroot"

Without quotes, detection is as follows:

  Auto-detecting system features:
  ...                         dwarf: [ OFF ]
  ...            dwarf_getlocations: [ OFF ]
  ...                         glibc: [ OFF ]

<title>perf bench mem: Always memset source before memcpy</title>

[ Upstream commit 1beaef29c34154ccdcb3f1ae557f6883eda18840 ]

For memcpy, the source pages are memset to zero only when --cycles is
used.  This leads to wildly different results with or without --cycles,
since all sources pages are likely to be mapped to the same zero page
without explicit writes.

Before this fix:

$ export cmd="./perf stat -e LLC-loads -- ./perf bench \
  mem memcpy -s 1024MB -l 100 -f default"
$ $cmd

         2,935,826      LLC-loads
       3.821677452 seconds time elapsed

$ $cmd --cycles

       217,533,436      LLC-loads
       8.616725985 seconds time elapsed

After this fix:

$ $cmd

       214,459,686      LLC-loads
       8.674301124 seconds time elapsed

$ $cmd --cycles

       214,758,651      LLC-loads
       8.644480006 seconds time elapsed

[ Upstream commit d5ca590525cfbd87ca307dcf498a566e2e7c1767 ]

99aacebecb75 ("selftests: do not use .ONESHELL") removed .ONESHELL, which
changes how Makefile "silences" multi-command target recipes. selftests/bpf's
Makefile relied (a somewhat unknowingly) on .ONESHELL behavior of silencing
all commands within the recipe if the first command contains @ symbol.
Removing .ONESHELL exposed this hack.

This patch fixes the issue by explicitly silencing each command with $(Q).

Also explicitly define fallback rule for building *.o from *.c, instead of
relying on non-silent inherited rule. This was causing a non-silent output for
bench.o object file.

<title>perf record: Skip side-band event setup if HAVE_LIBBPF_SUPPORT is not set</title>

[ Upstream commit 1101c872c8c7869c78dc106ae820040f36807eda ]

We received an error report that perf-record caused 'Segmentation fault'
on a newly system (e.g. on the new installed ubuntu).

  (gdb) backtrace
  #0  __read_once_size (size=4, res=&lt;synthetic pointer&gt;, p=0x14) at /root/0-jinyao/acme/tools/include/linux/compiler.h:139
  #1  atomic_read (v=0x14) at /root/0-jinyao/acme/tools/include/asm/../../arch/x86/include/asm/atomic.h:28
  #2  refcount_read (r=0x14) at /root/0-jinyao/acme/tools/include/linux/refcount.h:65
  #3  perf_mmap__read_init (map=map@entry=0x0) at mmap.c:177

  #5  0x00007fad78491609 in start_thread (arg=&lt;optimized out&gt;) at pthread_create.c:477
  #6  0x00007fad7823c103 in clone () at ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/clone.S:95

The root cause is, evlist__add_bpf_sb_event() just returns 0 if
HAVE_LIBBPF_SUPPORT is not defined (inline function path). So it will
not create a valid evsel for side-band event.

But perf-record still creates BPF side band thread to process the
side-band event, then the error happpens.

We can reproduce this issue by removing the libelf-dev. e.g.
1. apt-get remove libelf-dev
2. perf record -a -- sleep 1

  root@test:~# ./perf record -a -- sleep 1
  perf: Segmentation fault
  Obtained 6 stack frames.
  ./perf(+0x28eee8) [0x5562d6ef6ee8]
  /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(+0x46210) [0x7fbfdc65f210]
  ./perf(+0x342e74) [0x5562d6faae74]

  /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(clone+0x43) [0x7fbfdc73b103]
  Segmentation fault (core dumped)

To fix this issue,

1. We either install the missing libraries to let HAVE_LIBBPF_SUPPORT
   be defined.
   e.g. apt-get install libelf-dev and install other related libraries.

2. Use this patch to skip the side-band event setup if HAVE_LIBBPF_SUPPORT
   is not set.

Committer notes:

The side band thread is not used just with BPF, it is also used with
--switch-output-event, so narrow the ifdef to the BPF specific part.

[ Upstream commit 6bcaf41f9613278cd5897fc80ab93033bda8efaa ]

runqslower's Makefile is building/installing bpftool into
$(OUTPUT)/sbin/bpftool, which coincides with $(DEFAULT_BPFTOOL). In practice
this means that often when building selftests from scratch (after `make
clean`), selftests are racing with runqslower to simultaneously build bpftool
and one of the two processes fail due to file being busy. Prevent this race by
explicitly order-depending on $(BPFTOOL_DEFAULT).
