commit 41caff459a5b956b3e23ba9ca759dd0629ad3dda upstream.

These make the feature check fail when using clang, so remove them just
like is done in tools/perf/Makefile.config to build perf itself.

Adding -Wno-compound-token-split-by-macro to tools/perf/Makefile.config
when building with clang is also necessary to avoid these warnings
turned into errors (-Werror):

Please refer to the discussion on the Link: tag below, where Nathan
clarifies the situation:

&lt;quote&gt;
acme&gt; And then get to the problems at the end of this message, which seem
acme&gt; similar to the problem described here:
acme&gt;
acme&gt; From  Nathan Chancellor &lt;&gt;
acme&gt; Subject	[PATCH] mwifiex: Remove unnecessary braces from HostCmd_SET_SEQ_NO_BSS_INFO
acme&gt;
acme&gt; https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/9/1/135
acme&gt;
acme&gt; So perhaps in this case its better to disable that
acme&gt; -Werror,-Wcompound-token-split-by-macro when building with clang?

Yes, I think that is probably the best solution. As far as I can tell,
at least in this file and context, the warning appears harmless, as the
"create a GNU C statement expression from two different macros" is very
much intentional, based on the presence of PERL_USE_GCC_BRACE_GROUPS.
The warning is fixed in upstream Perl by just avoiding creating GNU C
statement expressions using STMT_START and STMT_END:

  https://github.com/Perl/perl5/issues/18780
  https://github.com/Perl/perl5/pull/18984

If I am reading the source code correctly, an alternative to disabling
the warning would be specifying -DPERL_GCC_BRACE_GROUPS_FORBIDDEN but it
seems like that might end up impacting more than just this site,
according to the issue discussion above.

<title>perf python: Fix probing for some clang command line options</title>

commit dd6e1fe91cdd52774ca642d1da75b58a86356b56 upstream.

The clang compiler complains about some options even without a source
file being available, while others require one, so use the simple
tools/build/feature/test-hello.c file.

Then check for the "is not supported" string in its output, in addition
to the "unknown argument" already being looked for.

This was noticed when building with clang-13 where -ffat-lto-objects
isn't supported and since we were looking just for "unknown argument"
and not providing a source code to clang, was mistakenly assumed as
being available and not being filtered to set of command line options
provided to clang, leading to a build failure.

commit 3a8a0475861a443f02e3a9b57d044fe2a0a99291 upstream.

Using -ffat-lto-objects in the python feature test when building with
clang-13 results in:

  clang-13: error: optimization flag '-ffat-lto-objects' is not supported [-Werror,-Wignored-optimization-argument]
  error: command '/usr/sbin/clang' failed with exit code 1
  cp: cannot stat '/tmp/build/perf/python_ext_build/lib/perf*.so': No such file or directory
  make[2]: *** [Makefile.perf:639: /tmp/build/perf/python/perf.so] Error 1

Noticed when building on a docker.io/library/archlinux:base container.

[ Upstream commit bc21e74d4775f883ae1f542c1f1dc7205b15d925 ]

If a perf event doesn't fit into remaining buffer space return NULL to
remap buf and fetch the event again.

Keep the logic to error out on inadequate input from fuzzing.

This fixes perf failing on ChromeOS (with 32b userspace):

  $ perf report -v -i perf.data
  ...
  prefetch_event: head=0x1fffff8 event-&gt;header_size=0x30, mmap_size=0x2000000: fuzzed or compressed perf.data?
  Error:
  failed to process sample

[ Upstream commit ffab487052054162b3b6c9c6005777ec6cfcea05 ]

Since commit bb30acae4c4dacfa ("perf report: Bail out --mem-mode if mem
info is not available") "perf mem report" and "perf report --mem-mode"
don't allow opening the file unless one of the events has
PERF_SAMPLE_DATA_SRC set.

SPE doesn't have this set even though synthetic memory data is generated
after it is decoded. Fix this issue by setting DATA_SRC on SPE events.
This has no effect on the data collected because the SPE driver doesn't
do anything with that flag and doesn't generate samples.

commit 3bad20d7d129c3b3063658a0f83974dfe6dac5c4 upstream.

Based on TMA_metrics-full.csv version 4.3 at 01.org:
    https://download.01.org/perfmon/
Events are updated to version 1.26:
    https://download.01.org/perfmon/SKX
Json files generated by:
    https://github.com/intel/event-converter-for-linux-perf

Fixes were made that allow the skx-metrics.json to successfully
generate, bringing back TopdownL1 metrics.

Tested:

  $ perf test
  ...
    6: Parse event definition strings                                  : Ok
    7: Simple expression parser                                        : Ok

   10.4: Parsing of PMU event table metrics with fake PMUs             : Ok
  ...
   68: Parse and process metrics                                       : Ok
  ...
   88: perf stat metrics (shadow stat) test                            : Ok
   89: perf all metricgroups test                                      : Ok
   90: perf all metrics test                                           : Skip
   91: perf all PMU test                                               : Ok
  ...

90 skips due to a lack of floating point samples, which is
understandable.

I have run into the following issue:

 # perf stat -a -e new_pmu/INSTRUCTION_7/ --  mytest -c1 7

 Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

                 0      new_pmu/INSTRUCTION_7/

       0.000366428 seconds time elapsed
 #

The new PMU for s390 counts the execution of certain CPU instructions.
The root cause is the extremely small run time of the mytest program. It
just executes some assembly instructions and then exits.

In above invocation the instruction is executed exactly one time (-c1
option). The PMU is expected to report this one time execution by a
counter value of one, but fails to do so in some cases, not all.

Debugging reveals the invocation of the child process is done
*before* the counter events are installed and enabled.

Tracing reveals that sometimes the child process starts and exits before
the event is installed on all CPUs. The more CPUs the machine has, the
more often this miscount happens.

Fix this by reversing the start of the work load after the events have
been installed on the specified CPUs. Now the comment also matches the
code.

Output after:

 # perf stat -a -e new_pmu/INSTRUCTION_7/ --  mytest -c1 7

 Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

                 1      new_pmu/INSTRUCTION_7/

       0.000366428 seconds time elapsed
 #

Now the correct result is reported rock solid all the time regardless
how many CPUs are online.

Reviewers notes:

Jiri:

Right, without -a the event has enable_on_exec so the race does not
matter, but it's a problem for system wide with fork.

Namhyung:

Agreed. Also we may move the enable_counters() and the clock code out of
the if block to be shared with the else block.

<title>perf symbols: Fix symbol size calculation condition</title>

<id>urn:sha1:2a55a52bd8f86cf3fd9c3f32ea78bbc8fb82f458</id>

commit 3cf6a32f3f2a45944dd5be5c6ac4deb46bcd3bee upstream.

Before this patch, the symbol end address fixup to be called, needed two
conditions being met:

  if (prev-&gt;end == prev-&gt;start &amp;&amp; prev-&gt;end != curr-&gt;start)

Where
  "prev-&gt;end == prev-&gt;start" means that prev is zero-long
                             (and thus needs a fixup)
and
  "prev-&gt;end != curr-&gt;start" means that fixup hasn't been applied yet

However, this logic is incorrect in the following situation:

*curr  = {rb_node = {__rb_parent_color = 278218928,
  rb_right = 0x0, rb_left = 0x0},
  start = 0xc000000000062354,
  end = 0xc000000000062354, namelen = 40, type = 2 '\002',
  binding = 0 '\000', idle = 0 '\000', ignore = 0 '\000',
  inlined = 0 '\000', arch_sym = 0 '\000', annotate2 = false,
  name = 0x1159739e "kprobe_optinsn_page\t[__builtin__kprobes]"}

*prev = {rb_node = {__rb_parent_color = 278219041,
  rb_right = 0x109548b0, rb_left = 0x109547c0},
  start = 0xc000000000062354,
  end = 0xc000000000062354, namelen = 12, type = 2 '\002',
  binding = 1 '\001', idle = 0 '\000', ignore = 0 '\000',
  inlined = 0 '\000', arch_sym = 0 '\000', annotate2 = false,
  name = 0x1095486e "optinsn_slot"}

In this case, prev-&gt;start == prev-&gt;end == curr-&gt;start == curr-&gt;end,
thus the condition above thinks that "we need a fixup due to zero
length of prev symbol, but it has been probably done, since the
prev-&gt;end == curr-&gt;start", which is wrong.

After the patch, the execution path proceeds to arch__symbols__fixup_end
function which fixes up the size of prev symbol by adding page_size to
its end offset.

<title>perf parse: Fix event parser error for hybrid systems</title>

commit 91c9923a473a694eb1c5c01ab778a77114969707 upstream.

This bug happened on hybrid systems when both cpu_core and cpu_atom
have the same event name such as "UOPS_RETIRED.MS" while their event
terms are different, then during perf stat, the event for cpu_atom
will parse fail and then no output for cpu_atom.

UOPS_RETIRED.MS -&gt; cpu_core/period=0x1e8483,umask=0x4,event=0xc2,frontend=0x8/
UOPS_RETIRED.MS -&gt; cpu_atom/period=0x1e8483,umask=0x1,event=0xc2/

It is because event terms in the "head" of parse_events_multi_pmu_add
will be changed to event terms for cpu_core after parsing UOPS_RETIRED.MS
for cpu_core, then when parsing the same event for cpu_atom, it still
uses the event terms for cpu_core, but event terms for cpu_atom are
different with cpu_core, the event parses for cpu_atom will fail. This
patch fixes it, the event terms should be parsed from the original
event.

This patch can work for the hybrid systems that have the same event
in more than 2 PMUs. It also can work in non-hybrid systems.

Before:

  # perf stat -v  -e  UOPS_RETIRED.MS  -a sleep 1

  Using CPUID GenuineIntel-6-97-1
  UOPS_RETIRED.MS -&gt; cpu_core/period=0x1e8483,umask=0x4,event=0xc2,frontend=0x8/
  Control descriptor is not initialized
  UOPS_RETIRED.MS: 2737845 16068518485 16068518485

         2,737,845      cpu_core/UOPS_RETIRED.MS/

After:

  # perf stat -v  -e  UOPS_RETIRED.MS  -a sleep 1

  Using CPUID GenuineIntel-6-97-1
  UOPS_RETIRED.MS -&gt; cpu_core/period=0x1e8483,umask=0x4,event=0xc2,frontend=0x8/
