[ Upstream commit 1deec1bd96ccd8beb04d2112a6d12fe20505c3a6 ]

When perf processes build-id event, it creates DSOs with the build-id.
But it didn't set the module short name (like '[module-name]') so when
processing a kernel mmap event of the module, it cannot found the DSO as
it only checks the short names.

That leads for perf to create a same DSO without the build-id info and
it'll lookup the system path even if the DSO is already in the build-id
cache.  After kernel was updated, perf cannot find the DSO  and cannot
show symbols in it anymore.

You can see this if you have an old data file (w/ old kernel version):

  $ perf report -i perf.data.old -v |&amp; grep scsi_mod
  build id event received for /lib/modules/3.19.2-1-ARCH/kernel/drivers/scsi/scsi_mod.ko.gz : cafe1ce6ca13a98a5d9ed3425cde249e57a27fc1
  Failed to open /lib/modules/3.19.2-1-ARCH/kernel/drivers/scsi/scsi_mod.ko.gz, continuing without symbols
  ...

The second message didn't show the build-id.  With this patch:

  $ perf report -i perf.data.old -v |&amp; grep scsi_mod
  build id event received for /lib/modules/3.19.2-1-ARCH/kernel/drivers/scsi/scsi_mod.ko.gz: cafe1ce6ca13a98a5d9ed3425cde249e57a27fc1
  /lib/modules/3.19.2-1-ARCH/kernel/drivers/scsi/scsi_mod.ko.gz with build id cafe1ce6ca13a98a5d9ed3425cde249e57a27fc1 not found, continuing without symbols
  ...

Now it shows the build-id but still cannot load the symbol table.  This
is a different problem which will be fixed in the next patch.

<content type='text'>
commit 7a759cd8e8272ee18922838ee711219c7c796a31 upstream.

With commit: 0a943cb10ce78 (tools build: Add HOSTARCH Makefile variable)
when building for ARCH=x86_64, ARCH=x86_64 is passed to perf instead of
ARCH=x86, so the perf build process searchs header files from
tools/arch/x86_64/include, which doesn't exist.

The following build failure is seen:

  In file included from util/event.c:2:0:
    tools/include/uapi/linux/mman.h:4:27: fatal error: uapi/asm/mman.h: No such file or directory
    compilation terminated.

Fix this issue by using SRCARCH instead of ARCH in perf, just like the
main kernel Makefile and tools/objtool's.

<title>perf header: Fix handling of PERF_EVENT_UPDATE__SCALE</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b9175b3fa90cf77ebebdb4d86fb7089b7495ca2a</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 8434a2ec13d5c8cb25716950bfbf7c9d7b64628a upstream.

In commit daeecbc0c431 ("perf tools: Add event_update event scale type"), the
handling of PERF_EVENT_UPDATE__SCALE cast struct event_update_event-&gt;data to a
pointer to event_update_event_scale, uses some field from this casted struct
and then ends up falling through to the handling of another event type,
PERF_EVENT_UPDATE__CPUS were it casts that ev-&gt;data to yet another type, oops,
fix it by inserting the missing break.

Noticed when building perf using gcc 7 on Fedora Rawhide:

  util/header.c: In function 'perf_event__process_event_update':
  util/header.c:3207:16: error: this statement may fall through [-Werror=implicit-fallthrough=]
     evsel-&gt;scale = ev_scale-&gt;scale;
     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  util/header.c:3208:2: note: here
    case PERF_EVENT_UPDATE__CPUS:
    ^~~~

This wasn't noticed because probably PERF_EVENT_UPDATE__CPUS comes after
PERF_EVENT_UPDATE__SCALE, so we would just create a bogus evsel-&gt;own_cpus when
processing a PERF_EVENT_UPDATE__SCALE to then leak it and create a new cpu map
with the correct data.

<content type='text'>
Sukadev reported segfault on releasing perf env's numa data.  It's due
to nr_numa_nodes being set no matter if the numa data gets parsed
properly. The perf_env__exit crash the on releasing non existed data.

Setting nr_numa_nodes only when data are parsed out properly.

Storing NUMA info within struct numa_node instead of strings. This way
it's usable in future patches.

Also it turned out it's slightly less code involved than using strings.

<title>perf test: Remove 'core_id' check in topo test</title>

<id>urn:sha1:4c9d6c18fdebfcfb18918a656355a3c7c3d45e13</id>
<content type='text'>
The topology test case of 'perf test' seems to be broken on my x86
system - due to the comparison of a "core-id" with # of CPUs online.

There are 8 online CPUs:

	$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/online
	0-7

but core-ids are not sequential and some core-ids exceed the number
of online CPUs.

	$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu?/topology/core_id
	0
	1
	9
	10
	0
	1
	9
	10

Looks like we can safely remove the check.  Output before:

	$ perf --version
	perf version 4.4.rc1.g34258a

	$ perf test -v topo
	36: Test topology in session                                 :
	--- start ---
	test child forked, pid 5906
	templ file: /tmp/perf-test-vCwWG3
	core_id number is too big.You may need to upgrade the perf tool.
	test child interrupted
	---- end ----
	Test topology in session: FAILED!

and after:

	$ perf test -v topo
	36: Test topology in session                                 :
	--- start ---
	test child forked, pid 6532
	templ file: /tmp/perf-test-y10wFJ
	CPU 0, core 0, socket 0
	CPU 1, core 1, socket 0
	CPU 2, core 9, socket 0
	CPU 3, core 10, socket 0
	CPU 4, core 0, socket 1
	CPU 5, core 1, socket 1
	CPU 6, core 9, socket 1
	CPU 7, core 10, socket 1
	test child finished with 0
	---- end ----
	Test topology in session: Ok
