[ Upstream commit dea8cfcc33695f70f56023b416cf88ae44c8a45a ]

Commit 48a1f565261d2ab1 ("perf script python: Add more PMU fields to
event handler dict") added functionality to report fields like weight,
iregs, uregs etc via perf report.  That commit predefined buffer size to
512 bytes to print those fields.

But in PowerPC, since we added extended regs support in:

  068aeea3773a6f4c ("perf powerpc: Support exposing Performance Monitor Counter SPRs as part of extended regs")
  d735599a069f6936 ("powerpc/perf: Add extended regs support for power10 platform")

Now iregs can carry more bytes of data and this predefined buffer size
can result to data loss in perf script output.

This patch resolves this issue by making the buffer size dynamic, based
on the number of registers needed to print. It also changes the
regs_map() return type from int to void, as it is not being used by the
set_regs_in_dict(), its only caller.

Fixes: 068aeea3773a6f4c ("perf powerpc: Support exposing Performance Monitor Counter SPRs as part of extended regs")

asprintf() returns on error, which is just -1, but since this function
returns -errno, fix it by returning -ENOMEM for this case instead.

tuple_set_u64() produces a signed value instead of an unsigned value.
That works for database export but not other cases. Rename to
tuple_set_d64() for database export and fix tuple_set_u64().

To pick the changes in:

  ea6932d70e223e02 ("net: make get_net_ns return error if NET_NS is disabled")

That don't result in any changes in the tables generated from that
header.

This silences this perf build warning:

[ Upstream commit fe7a98b9d9b36e5c8a22d76b67d29721f153f66e ]

The error code is not set at all in the sys event iter function.

This may lead to an uninitialized value of "ret" in
metricgroup__add_metric() when no CPU metric is added.

Fix by properly setting the error code.

It is not necessary to init "ret" to 0 in metricgroup__add_metric(), as
if we have no CPU or sys event metric matching, then "has_match" should
be 0 and "ret" is set to -EINVAL.

However gcc cannot detect that it may not have been set after the
map_for_each_metric() loop for CPU metrics, which is strange.

[ Upstream commit fc96ec4d5d4155c61cbafd49fb2dd403c899a9f4 ]

The following command segfaults on my x86 broadwell:

  $ ./perf stat  -M frontend_bound,retiring,backend_bound,bad_speculation sleep 1
  WARNING: grouped events cpus do not match, disabling group:
    anon group { raw 0x10e }
    anon group { raw 0x10e }
  perf: util/evsel.c:1596: get_group_fd: Assertion `!(!leader-&gt;core.fd)' failed.
  Aborted (core dumped)

The issue shows itself as a use-after-free in evlist__check_cpu_maps(),
whereby the leader of an event selector (evsel) has been deleted (yet we
still attempt to verify for an evsel).

Fundamentally the problem comes from metricgroup__setup_events() -&gt;
find_evsel_group(), and has developed from the previous fix attempt in
commit 9c880c24cb0d ("perf metricgroup: Fix for metrics containing
duration_time").

The problem now is that the logic in checking if an evsel is in the same
group is subtly broken for the "cycles" event. For the "cycles" event,
the pmu_name is NULL; however the logic in find_evsel_group() may set an
event matched against "cycles" as used, when it should not be.

This leads to a condition where an evsel is set, yet its leader is not.

Fix the check for evsel pmu_name by not matching evsels when either has a
NULL pmu_name.

There is still a pre-existing metric issue whereby the ordering of the
metrics may break the 'stat' function, as discussed at:

[ Upstream commit 197eecb6ecae0b04bd694432f640ff75597fed9c ]

When peeking an event, it has a short path and a long path.  The short
path uses the session pointer "one_mmap_addr" to directly fetch the
event; and the long path needs to read out the event header and the
following event data from file and fill into the buffer pointer passed
through the argument "buf".

The issue is in the long path that it copies the event header and event
data into the same destination address which pointer "buf", this means
the event header is overwritten.  We are just lucky to run into the
short path in most cases, so we don't hit the issue in the long path.

This patch adds the offset "hdr_sz" to the pointer "buf" when copying
the event data, so that it can reserve the event header which can be
used properly by its caller.

[ Upstream commit 3cb17cce1e76ccc5499915a4d7e095a1ad6bf7ff ]

If we just check whether the variable can be converted, 'tvar' should be
a null pointer. However, the null pointer check is missing in the
'Constant value' execution path.

The following cases can trigger this problem:

	$ cat test.c
	#include &lt;stdio.h&gt;

	void main(void)
	{
	        int a;
	        const int b = 1;

	        asm volatile("mov %1, %0" : "=r"(a): "i"(b));
	        printf("a: %d\n", a);
	}

	$ gcc test.c -o test -O -g
	$ sudo ./perf probe -x ./test -L "main"
	&lt;main@/home/lhf/test.c:0&gt;
	      0  void main(void)
	         {
	      2          int a;
	                 const int b = 1;

	                 asm volatile("mov %1, %0" : "=r"(a): "i"(b));
	      6          printf("a: %d\n", a);
	         }

	$ sudo ./perf probe -x ./test -V "main:6"
	Segmentation fault

The check on 'tvar' is added. If 'tavr' is a null pointer, we return 0
to indicate that the variable can be converted. Now, we can successfully
show the variables that can be accessed.

	$ sudo ./perf probe -x ./test -V "main:6"
	Available variables at main:6
	        @&lt;main+13&gt;
	                char*   __fmt
	                int     a
	                int     b

However, the variable 'b' cannot be tracked.

	$ sudo ./perf probe -x ./test -D "main:6 b"
	Failed to find the location of the 'b' variable at this address.
	 Perhaps it has been optimized out.
	 Use -V with the --range option to show 'b' location range.
	  Error: Failed to add events.

This is because __die_find_variable_cb() did not successfully match
variable 'b', which has the DW_AT_const_value attribute instead of
DW_AT_location. We added support for DW_AT_const_value in
__die_find_variable_cb(). With this modification, we can successfully
track the variable 'b'.

	$ sudo ./perf probe -x ./test -D "main:6 b"
	p:probe_test/main_L6 /home/lhf/test:0x1156 b=\1:s32

commit 75ea44e356b5de8c817f821c9dd68ae329e82add upstream.

On some hosts, rlim.rlim_max can be returned as RLIM_INFINITY.
By casting it to int, it is interpreted as -1, which will cause get_maxfds
to return 0, causing "Invalid argument" errors in nftw() calls.
Fix this by casting the second argument of min() to rlim_t instead.

commit c59870e2110e1229a6e4b2457aece6ffe8d68d99 upstream.

This avoids segfaults during option handlers that use pr_err. For
example, "perf --debug nopager list" segfaults before this change.

Fixes: 8abceacff87d (perf debug: Add debug_set_file function)
