[ Upstream commit a7da6c7030e1aec32f0a41c7b4fa70ec96042019 ]

Function __perf_env__insert_bpf_prog_info() will return without inserting
bpf prog info node into perf env again due to a duplicate bpf prog info
node insertion, causing the temporary info_linear and info_node memory to
leak. Modify the return type of this function to bool and add a check to
ensure the memory is freed if the function returns false.

[ Upstream commit 9c51f8788b5d4e9f46afbcf563255cfd355690b3 ]

Add variants of perf_env__insert_bpf_prog_info(), perf_env__insert_btf()
and perf_env__find_btf prefixed with __ to indicate the
env-&gt;bpf_progs.lock is assumed held.

Call these variants when the lock is held to avoid recursively taking it
and potentially having a thread deadlock with itself.

<title>perf tools: Handle old data in PERF_RECORD_ATTR</title>

<id>urn:sha1:4d7a8a44e030a3a052d1867142a31c7ad8343082</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 9bf63282ea77a531ea58acb42fb3f40d2d1e4497 upstream.

The PERF_RECORD_ATTR is used for a pipe mode to describe an event with
attribute and IDs.  The ID table comes after the attr and it calculate
size of the table using the total record size and the attr size.

  n_ids = (total_record_size - end_of_the_attr_field) / sizeof(u64)

This is fine for most use cases, but sometimes it saves the pipe output
in a file and then process it later.  And it becomes a problem if there
is a change in attr size between the record and report.

  $ perf record -o- &gt; perf-pipe.data  # old version
  $ perf report -i- &lt; perf-pipe.data  # new version

For example, if the attr size is 128 and it has 4 IDs, then it would
save them in 168 byte like below:

   8 byte: perf event header { .type = PERF_RECORD_ATTR, .size = 168 },
 128 byte: perf event attr { .size = 128, ... },
  32 byte: event IDs [] = { 1234, 1235, 1236, 1237 },

But when report later, it thinks the attr size is 136 then it only read
the last 3 entries as ID.

   8 byte: perf event header { .type = PERF_RECORD_ATTR, .size = 168 },
 136 byte: perf event attr { .size = 136, ... },
  24 byte: event IDs [] = { 1235, 1236, 1237 },  // 1234 is missing

So it should use the recorded version of the attr.  The attr has the
size field already then it should honor the size when reading data.

No functional changes intended.

Currently it unconditionally writes to stdout for repipe.  But perf
inject can direct its output to a regular file.  Then it needs to
write the header to the file as well.

<content type='text'>
Move evsel::leader to perf_evsel::leader, so we can move the group
interface to libperf.

Also add several evsel helpers to ease up the transition:

  struct evsel *evsel__leader(struct evsel *evsel);
  - get leader evsel

  bool evsel__has_leader(struct evsel *evsel, struct evsel *leader);
  - true if evsel has leader as leader

  bool evsel__is_leader(struct evsel *evsel);
  - true if evsel is itw own leader

  void evsel__set_leader(struct evsel *evsel, struct evsel *leader);
  - set leader for evsel

Committer notes:

Fix this when building with 'make BUILD_BPF_SKEL=1'

  tools/perf/util/bpf_counter.c

  -       if (evsel-&gt;leader-&gt;core.nr_members &gt; 1) {
  +       if (evsel-&gt;core.leader-&gt;nr_members &gt; 1) {
