[ Upstream commit a9cdc1c5e3700a5200e5ca1f90b6958b6483845b ]

Commit 463538a383a2 ("perf tests: Fix test 68 zstd compression for
s390") inadvertently removed the -g flag from all platforms rather than
just s390, because the [[ ]] construct fails in sh. Changing to single
brackets restores testing of call graphs and removes the following error
from the output:

  $ ./perf test -v 85
  85: Zstd perf.data compression/decompression                        :
  --- start ---

[ Upstream commit fc56f54f6fcd5337634f4545af6459613129b432 ]

ASan reports a memory leak when running:

  # perf test "49: Synthesize attr update"

Caused by evlist not being deleted.

This patch adds the missing evlist__delete and removes the
perf_cpu_map__put since it's already being deleted by evlist__delete.

ASan reports a memory leak related to session-&gt;evlist while running:

  # perf test "41: Session topology".

When perf_data is in write mode, session-&gt;evlist is owned by the caller,
which should also take care of deleting it.

This patch adds the missing evlist__delete().

[ Upstream commit c5c97cadd7ed13381cb6b4bef5c841a66938d350 ]

The ubsan reported the following error.  It was because sample's raw
data missed u32 padding at the end.  So it broke the alignment of the
array after it.

The raw data contains an u32 size prefix so the data size should have
an u32 padding after 8-byte aligned data.

commit dbd660e6b2884b864d2642d930a163d3bcebe4be upstream.

Commit 2d4f27999b88 ("perf data: Add global path holder") missed path
conversion in tests/topology.c, causing the "Session topology" testcase
to "hang" (waits forever for input from stdin) when doing "ssh $VM perf
test".

Can be reproduced by running "cat | perf test topo", and crashed by
replacing cat with true:

  $ true | perf test -v topo
  40: Session topology                                      :
  --- start ---
  test child forked, pid 3638
  templ file: /tmp/perf-test-QPvAch
  incompatible file format
  incompatible file format (rerun with -v to learn more)
  free(): invalid pointer
  test child interrupted
  ---- end ----
  Session topology: FAILED!

Reproduced the above result before the patch and after it is back
working:

  # true | perf test -v topo

[ Upstream commit 463538a383a27337cb83ae195e432a839a52d639 ]

Commit 5aa98879efe7 ("s390/cpum_sf: prohibit callchain data collection")
prohibits call graph sampling for hardware events on s390. The
information recorded is out of context and does not match.

On s390 this commit now breaks test case 68 Zstd perf.data
compression/decompression.

Therefore omit call graph sampling on s390 in this test.

[ Upstream commit 2bbc83537614517730e9f2811195004b712de207 ]

This test places a kprobe to function getname_flags() in the kernel
which has the following prototype:

  struct filename *getname_flags(const char __user *filename, int flags, int *empty)

The 'filename' argument points to a filename located in user space memory.

Looking at commit 88903c464321c ("tracing/probe: Add ustring type for
user-space string") the kprobe should indicate that user space memory is
accessed.

Output before:

   [root@m35lp76 perf]# ./perf test 66 67
   66: Use vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames   : FAILED!
   67: Check open filename arg using perf trace + vfs_getname: FAILED!
   [root@m35lp76 perf]#

Output after:

   [root@m35lp76 perf]# ./perf test 66 67
   66: Use vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames   : Ok
   67: Check open filename arg using perf trace + vfs_getname: Ok
   [root@m35lp76 perf]#

Comments from Masami Hiramatsu:

This bug doesn't happen on x86 or other archs on which user address
space and kernel address space is the same. On some arches (ppc64 in
this case?) user address space is partially or completely the same as
kernel address space.

(Yes, they switch the world when running into the kernel) In this case,
we need to use different data access functions for each space.

That is why I introduced the "ustring" type for kprobe events.

As far as I can see, Thomas's patch is sane. Thomas, could you show us
your result on your test environment?

Comments from Thomas Richter:

Test results for s/390 included above.

[ Upstream commit 8a39e8c4d9baf65d88f66d49ac684df381e30055 ]

When compiling with DEBUG=1 on Fedora 32 I'm getting crash for 'perf
test signal':

  Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
  0x0000000000c68548 in __test_function ()

It's caused by the symbol __test_function being in the ".bss" section:

  $ readelf -a ./perf | less
    [Nr] Name              Type             Address           Offset
         Size              EntSize          Flags  Link  Info  Align
    ...
    [28] .bss              NOBITS           0000000000c356a0  008346a0
         00000000000511f8  0000000000000000  WA       0     0     32

  $ nm perf | grep __test_function
  0000000000c68548 B __test_function

I guess most of the time we're just lucky the inline asm ended up in the
".text" section, so making it specific explicit with push and pop
section clauses.

  $ readelf -a ./perf | less
    [Nr] Name              Type             Address           Offset
         Size              EntSize          Flags  Link  Info  Align
    ...

  $ nm perf | grep __test_function
  00000000004d62c8 T __test_function

Before:

  $ perf test signal

After:

  $ perf test signal
