<id>urn:sha1:831c05a7621b96944b0b4dbede57ed7cf0578f1c</id>
<content type='text'>
To pick the changes in:

  cfef80bad4cf79cd ("perf/uapi: Define PERF_MEM_SNOOPX_PEER in kernel header file")
  ee3e88dfec23153d ("perf/mem: Introduce PERF_MEM_LVLNUM_{EXTN_MEM|IO}")
  b4e12b2d70fd9ecc ("perf: Kill __PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN_EARLY")

There is a kernel patch pending that renames PERF_MEM_LVLNUM_EXTN_MEM to
PERF_MEM_LVLNUM_CXL, tooling this time is ahead of the kernel :-)

This thus partially addresses this perf build warning:

  Warning: Kernel ABI header at 'tools/include/uapi/linux/perf_event.h' differs from latest version at 'include/uapi/linux/perf_event.h'
  diff -u tools/include/uapi/linux/perf_event.h include/uapi/linux/perf_event.h

and PERF_MEM_LVLNUM_CXL which are required to support perf mem/c2c on
AMD platform.

This updates the perf tools with branch privilege information request flag
i.e PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_PRIV_SAVE that has been added earlier in the kernel.
This also updates 'perf record' documentation, branch_modes[], and generic
branch privilege level enumeration as added earlier in the kernel.

<id>urn:sha1:0ddea8e2a0c20ff32a28ef21574f704d8f4699a2</id>
<content type='text'>
This updates the perf tool with generic branch type classification with new
ABI extender place holder i.e PERF_BR_EXTEND_ABI, the new 4 bit branch type
field i.e perf_branch_entry.new_type, new generic page fault related branch
types and some arch specific branch types as added earlier in the kernel.

Committer note:

Add an extra entry to the branch_type_name array to cope with
PERF_BR_EXTEND_ABI, to address build warnings on some compiler/systems,
like:

<title>perf branch: Add system error and not in transaction branch types</title>

<id>urn:sha1:1c96b6e45f140a4a43b1e831907e250e6302067c</id>
<content type='text'>
This updates the perf tool with generic branch type classification with
two new branch types i.e system error (PERF_BR_SERROR) and not in
transaction (PERF_BR_NO_TX) which got updated earlier in the kernel.

This also updates corresponding branch type strings in
branch_type_name().

Committer notes:

At perf tools merge time this is only on PeterZ's tree, at:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/peterz/queue.git perf/core

So for testing one has to build a kernel with that branch, then test
the tooling side from:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux.git perf/core

<title>perf tools: Sync addition of PERF_MEM_SNOOPX_PEER</title>

<id>urn:sha1:2e21bcf0514a3623b41962bf424dec061c02ebc6</id>
<content type='text'>
Add a flag to the 'perf mem' data struct to signal that a request caused
a cache-to-cache transfer of a line from a peer of the requestor and
wasn't sourced from a lower cache level.

The line being moved from one peer cache to another has latency and
performance implications.

On Arm64 Neoverse systems the data source can indicate a cache-to-cache
transfer but not if the line is dirty or clean, so instead of
overloading HITM define a new flag that indicates this type of transfer.

Committer notes:

This really is not syncing with the kernel since the patch to the kernel
wasn't merged.

But we're going ahead of this as it seems trivial and is just a matter
of the perf kernel maintainers to give their ack or for us to find
another way of expressing this in the perf records synthesized in
userspace from the ARM64 hardware traces.

<title>treewide: uapi: Replace zero-length arrays with flexible-array members</title>

<id>urn:sha1:94dfc73e7cf4a31da66b8843f0b9283ddd6b8381</id>
<content type='text'>
There is a regular need in the kernel to provide a way to declare
having a dynamically sized set of trailing elements in a structure.
Kernel code should always use “flexible array members”[1] for these
cases. The older style of one-element or zero-length arrays should
no longer be used[2].

This code was transformed with the help of Coccinelle:
(linux-5.19-rc2$ spatch --jobs $(getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN) --sp-file script.cocci --include-headers --dir . &gt; output.patch)

@@
identifier S, member, array;
type T1, T2;
@@

struct S {
  ...
  T1 member;
  T2 array[
- 0
  ];
};

-fstrict-flex-arrays=3 is coming and we need to land these changes
to prevent issues like these in the short future:

../fs/minix/dir.c:337:3: warning: 'strcpy' will always overflow; destination buffer has size 0,
but the source string has length 2 (including NUL byte) [-Wfortify-source]
		strcpy(de3-&gt;name, ".");
		^

Since these are all [0] to [] changes, the risk to UAPI is nearly zero. If
this breaks anything, we can use a union with a new member name.
