It didn't release resources when there's an error so the
test_recursion_fail() will leak some memory.

<title>perf test: Fix the "signal" test inline assembly</title>

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

  $ 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

<title>perf test: Set NULL sentinel in pmu_events table in "Parse and process metrics" test</title>

<content type='text'>
Linux 5.9 introduced perf test case "Parse and process metrics" and
on s390 this test case always dumps core:

  [root@t35lp67 perf]# ./perf test -vvvv -F 67
  67: Parse and process metrics                             :

  parsing metric: inst_retired.any / cpu_clk_unhalted.thread
  Segmentation fault (core dumped)
  [root@t35lp67 perf]#

I debugged this core dump and gdb shows this call chain:

This test case was added with
commit 218ca91df477 ("perf tests: Add parse metric test for frontend metric").

When I compile with make DEBUG=y it works fine and I do not get a core dump.

It turned out that the above listed function call chain worked on a struct
pmu_event array which requires a trailing element with zeroes which was
missing. The marco map_for_each_event() loops over that array tests for members
metric_expr/metric_name/metric_group being non-NULL. Adding this element fixes
the issue.

Output after:

  [root@t35lp46 perf]# ./perf test 67
  67: Parse and process metrics                             : Ok
  [root@t35lp46 perf]#

Committer notes:

As Ian remarks, this is not s390 specific:

&lt;quote Ian&gt;
  This also shows up with address sanitizer on all architectures
  (perhaps change the patch title) and perhaps add a "Fixes: &lt;commit&gt;"
  tag.

I'm also adding the missing "Fixes" tag and setting just .name to NULL,
as doing it that way is more compact (the compiler will zero out
everything else) and the table iterators look for .name being NULL as
the sentinel marking the end of the table.

<title>perf parse-events: Set exclude_guest=1 for user-space counting</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.radix-linux.su/kernel/linux.git/commit/?id=943b69ac1884d8e0260ee653e696456810d7c6e3'/>
<id>urn:sha1:943b69ac1884d8e0260ee653e696456810d7c6e3</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently if we run 'perf record -e cycles:u', exclude_guest=0.

But it doesn't make sense in most cases that we request for
user-space counting but we also get the guest report.

Of course, we also need to consider 'perf kvm' usage case that
authorized perf users on the host may only want to count guest user
space events. For example,

  # perf kvm --guest record -e cycles:u

When we have 'exclude_guest=1' for 'perf kvm' usage, we may get nothing
from guest events.

To keep perf semantics consistent and clear, this patch sets
exclude_guest=1 for user-space counting but except for 'perf kvm' usage.

Before:

  perf record -e cycles:u ./div
  perf evlist -v
  cycles:u: ..., exclude_kernel: 1, exclude_hv: 1, ...

After:
  perf record -e cycles:u ./div
  perf evlist -v
  cycles:u: ..., exclude_kernel: 1, exclude_hv: 1,  exclude_guest: 1, ...

Before:
  perf kvm --guest record -e cycles:u -vvv

perf_event_attr:

  size                             120
  { sample_period, sample_freq }   4000
  sample_type                      IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD
  read_format                      ID
  disabled                         1
  inherit                          1
  exclude_kernel                   1
  exclude_hv                       1
  freq                             1
  sample_id_all                    1

After:

  perf kvm --guest record -e cycles:u -vvv

perf_event_attr:
  size                             120
  { sample_period, sample_freq }   4000
  sample_type                      IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD
  read_format                      ID
  disabled                         1
  inherit                          1
  exclude_kernel                   1
  exclude_hv                       1
  freq                             1
  sample_id_all                    1

For Before/After, exclude_guest are both 0 for perf kvm usage.

<title>perf test: Fix basic bpf filtering test</title>

<id>urn:sha1:4b04e0decd2518e54e3f371abf3d883b3198663d</id>
<content type='text'>
BPF basic filtering test fails on s390x (when vmlinux debuginfo is
utilized instead of /proc/kallsyms)

Info:
- bpf_probe_load installs the bpf code at do_epoll_wait.
- For s390x, do_epoll_wait resolves to 3 functions including inlines.
  found inline addr: 0x43769e
  Probe point found: __s390_sys_epoll_wait+6
  found inline addr: 0x437290
  Probe point found: do_epoll_wait+0
  found inline addr: 0x4375d6
  Probe point found: __se_sys_epoll_wait+6
- add_bpf_event  creates evsel for every probe in a BPF object. This
  results in 3 evsels.

Solution:
- Expected result = 50% of the samples to be collected from epoll_wait *
  number of entries present in the evlist.

Committer testing:

<title>perf test: Allow multiple probes in record+script_probe_vfs_getname.sh</title>

<id>urn:sha1:194cb6b50f57676130491341f321394bb16ee624</id>
<content type='text'>
Sometimes when adding a kprobe by perf, it results in multiple probe
points, such as the following:

  # ./perf probe -l
    probe:vfs_getname    (on getname_flags:73@fs/namei.c with pathname)
    probe:vfs_getname_1  (on getname_flags:73@fs/namei.c with pathname)
    probe:vfs_getname_2  (on getname_flags:73@fs/namei.c with pathname)
  # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
  p:probe/vfs_getname _text+5501804 pathname=+0(+0(%gpr31)):string
  p:probe/vfs_getname_1 _text+5505388 pathname=+0(+0(%gpr31)):string
  p:probe/vfs_getname_2 _text+5508396 pathname=+0(+0(%gpr31)):string

In this test, we need to record all of them and expect any of them in
the perf-script output, since it's not clear which one will be used for
the desired syscall:

  # perf stat -e probe:vfs_getname\* -- touch /tmp/nic

   Performance counter stats for 'touch /tmp/nic':

                31      probe:vfs_getname_2
                 0      probe:vfs_getname_1
                 1      probe:vfs_getname
       0.001421826 seconds time elapsed

       0.001506000 seconds user
       0.000000000 seconds sys

If the test relies only on probe:vfs_getname, it might easily miss the
relevant data.

Minor conflict in tools/perf/arch/arm/util/auxtrace.c as one fix there
was cherry-picked for the last perf/urgent pull req to Linus, so was
already there.
