commit 57f0ff059e3daa4e70a811cb1d31a49968262d20 upstream.

It's later supposed to be either a correct address or NULL. Without the
initialization, it may contain an undefined value which results in the
following segmentation fault:

  # perf top --sort comm -g --ignore-callees=do_idle

terminates with:

  #18 0x00007ffff5656dc3 in clone () from /lib64/libc.so.6

If you look at the frame #2, the code is:

488	 if (he-&gt;srcline) {
489          he-&gt;srcline = strdup(he-&gt;srcline);
490          if (he-&gt;srcline == NULL)
491              goto err_rawdata;
492	 }

If he-&gt;srcline is not NULL (it is not NULL if it is uninitialized rubbish),
it gets strdupped and strdupping a rubbish random string causes the problem.

Also, if you look at the commit 1fb7d06a509e, it adds the srcline property
into the struct, but not initializing it everywhere needed.

Committer notes:

Now I see, when using --ignore-callees=do_idle we end up here at line
2189 in add_callchain_ip():

2181         if (al.sym != NULL) {
2182                 if (perf_hpp_list.parent &amp;&amp; !*parent &amp;&amp;
2183                     symbol__match_regex(al.sym, &amp;parent_regex))
2184                         *parent = al.sym;
2185                 else if (have_ignore_callees &amp;&amp; root_al &amp;&amp;
2186                   symbol__match_regex(al.sym, &amp;ignore_callees_regex)) {
2187                         /* Treat this symbol as the root,
2188                            forgetting its callees. */
2189                         *root_al = al;
2190                         callchain_cursor_reset(cursor);
2191                 }
2192         }

And the al that doesn't have the -&gt;srcline field initialized will be
copied to the root_al, so then, back to:

1211 int hist_entry_iter__add(struct hist_entry_iter *iter, struct addr_location *al,
1212                          int max_stack_depth, void *arg)
1213 {
1214         int err, err2;
1215         struct map *alm = NULL;
1216
1217         if (al)
1218                 alm = map__get(al-&gt;map);
1219
1220         err = sample__resolve_callchain(iter-&gt;sample, &amp;callchain_cursor, &amp;iter-&gt;parent,
1221                                         iter-&gt;evsel, al, max_stack_depth);
1222         if (err) {
1223                 map__put(alm);
1224                 return err;
1225         }
1226
1227         err = iter-&gt;ops-&gt;prepare_entry(iter, al);
1228         if (err)
1229                 goto out;
1230
1231         err = iter-&gt;ops-&gt;add_single_entry(iter, al);
1232         if (err)
1233                 goto out;
1234

That al at line 1221 is what hist_entry_iter__add() (called from
sample__resolve_callchain()) saw as 'root_al', and then:

        iter-&gt;ops-&gt;add_single_entry(iter, al);

will go on with al-&gt;srcline with a bogus value, I'll add the above
sequence to the cset and apply, thanks!

<content type='text'>
commit 5501e9229a80d95a1ea68609f44c447a75d23ed5 upstream.

In some cases, the number of cpus (nr_cpus_online) is confused with the
maximum cpu number (nr_cpus_avail), which results in the error in the
example below:

Example on system with 8 cpus:

 Before:
   # echo 0 &gt; /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu2/online
   # ./perf record --kcore -e intel_pt// taskset --cpu-list 7 uname
   Linux
   [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
   [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.147 MB perf.data ]
   # ./perf script --itrace=e
   Requested CPU 7 too large. Consider raising MAX_NR_CPUS
   0x25908 [0x8]: failed to process type: 68 [Invalid argument]

 After:
   # ./perf script --itrace=e
   #

Fixes: 8c7274691f0d ("perf machine: Replace MAX_NR_CPUS with perf_env::nr_cpus_online")
Fixes: 7df4e36a4785 ("perf session: Replace MAX_NR_CPUS with perf_env::nr_cpus_online")

<content type='text'>
commit f068435d9bb2d825d59e3c101bc579f09315ee01 upstream.

At some point in the past we needed to make sure we would get the long
name of modules and not just what we get from /proc/modules, but that
need, as described in the cset that introduced the adjustment function:

Fixes: c03d5184f0e9 ("perf machine: Adjust dso-&gt;long_name for offline module")

Without using the buildid-cache:

  # lsmod | grep trusted
  # insmod trusted.ko
  # lsmod | grep trusted
  trusted                24576  0
  # strace -e open,openat perf probe -m ./trusted.ko key_seal |&amp; grep trusted
  openat(AT_FDCWD, "/sys/module/trusted/notes/.note.gnu.build-id", O_RDONLY) = 4
  openat(AT_FDCWD, "/sys/module/trusted/notes/.note.gnu.build-id", O_RDONLY) = 7
  openat(AT_FDCWD, "/root/trusted.ko", O_RDONLY) = 3
  openat(AT_FDCWD, "/root/.debug/root/trusted.ko/dd3d355d567394d540f527e093e0f64b95879584/probes", O_RDWR|O_CREAT, 0644) = 3
  openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/lib/debug/root/trusted.ko.debug", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
  openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/lib/debug/root/trusted.ko", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
  openat(AT_FDCWD, "/root/.debug/trusted.ko", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
  openat(AT_FDCWD, "/root/trusted.ko", O_RDONLY) = 3
  openat(AT_FDCWD, "trusted.ko.debug", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
  openat(AT_FDCWD, ".debug/trusted.ko.debug", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
  openat(AT_FDCWD, "trusted.ko.debug", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
  openat(AT_FDCWD, "/root/trusted.ko", O_RDONLY) = 3
  openat(AT_FDCWD, "/root/trusted.ko", O_RDONLY) = 3
  openat(AT_FDCWD, "/root/trusted.ko", O_RDONLY) = 4
  openat(AT_FDCWD, "/root/trusted.ko", O_RDONLY) = 3
    probe:key_seal       (on key_seal in trusted)
  # perf probe -l
    probe:key_seal       (on key_seal in trusted)
  #

No attempt at opening '[trusted]'.

Now using the build-id cache:

  # rmmod trusted
  # perf buildid-cache --add ./trusted.ko
  # insmod trusted.ko
  # strace -e open,openat perf probe -m ./trusted.ko key_seal |&amp; grep trusted
  openat(AT_FDCWD, "/sys/module/trusted/notes/.note.gnu.build-id", O_RDONLY) = 4
  openat(AT_FDCWD, "/sys/module/trusted/notes/.note.gnu.build-id", O_RDONLY) = 7
  openat(AT_FDCWD, "/root/trusted.ko", O_RDONLY) = 3
  openat(AT_FDCWD, "/root/.debug/root/trusted.ko/dd3d355d567394d540f527e093e0f64b95879584/probes", O_RDWR|O_CREAT, 0644) = 3
  openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/lib/debug/root/trusted.ko.debug", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
  openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/lib/debug/root/trusted.ko", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
  openat(AT_FDCWD, "/root/.debug/trusted.ko", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
  openat(AT_FDCWD, "/root/trusted.ko", O_RDONLY) = 3
  openat(AT_FDCWD, "trusted.ko.debug", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
  openat(AT_FDCWD, ".debug/trusted.ko.debug", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
  openat(AT_FDCWD, "trusted.ko.debug", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
  openat(AT_FDCWD, "/root/trusted.ko", O_RDONLY) = 3
  openat(AT_FDCWD, "/root/trusted.ko", O_RDONLY) = 3
  openat(AT_FDCWD, "/root/trusted.ko", O_RDONLY) = 4
  openat(AT_FDCWD, "/root/trusted.ko", O_RDONLY) = 3
  #

Again, no attempt at reading '[trusted]'.

Finally, adding a probe to that function and then using:

  #

This was the only path I could find using the perf tools that reach at this
function, then as of november/2019, if we put a probe in the line where the
actuall setting of the dso-&gt;long_name is done:

  # perf trace -e probe_perf:*
  ^C[root@quaco ~]
  # perf stat -e probe_perf:*  -I 2000

Its not being used at all.

To further test this I used kvm.ko as the offline module, i.e. removed
if from the buildid-cache by nuking it completely (rm -rf ~/.debug) and
moved it from the normal kernel distro path, removed the modules, stoped
the kvm guest, and then installed it manually, etc.

<title>libperf: Move 'page_size' global variable to libperf</title>

<id>urn:sha1:20f2be1d48ec293b5a935595bd0c2e2915ffa77c</id>
<content type='text'>
We need the 'page_size' variable in libperf, so move it there.

Add a libperf_init() as a global libperf init function to obtain this
value via sysconf() at tool start.

Committer notes:

Add internal/lib.h to tools/perf/ files using 'page_size', sometimes
replacing util.h with it if that was the only reason for having util.h
included.

For better grouping, in time we may end up making most of these static,
i.e. generalizing the 'perf record' synthesizing code so that based on
the target it can do the right thing and call the needed synthesizers.

Those are the only routines using the perf_event__handler_t typedef and
are all related, so move to a separate header to reduce the header
dependency tree, lots of places were getting event.h and even stdio.h,
limits.h indirectly, so fix those as well.

The mem_info struct goes to mem-events.h and branch_info goes to
branch.h, where they belong, this way we can remove several headers from
symbols.h and trim the include dependency tree more.

So that we don't carry the session.h include directive in auxtrace.h,
which in turn opens a can of worms of files that were getting all sorts
of things via that include, fix them all.

So that we can reduce the header dependency tree further, in the process
noticed that lots of places were getting even things like build-id
routines and 'struct perf_tool' definition indirectly, so fix all those
too.
