Both register_perl_scripting() and register_python_scripting() allocate
this variable, fix it by checking if it already was.

<title>perf symbols: Fixup symbol sizes before picking best ones</title>

commit 432746f8e0b6a82ba832b771afe31abd51af6752 upstream.

When we call symbol__fixup_duplicate() we use algorithms to pick the
"best" symbols for cases where there are various functions/aliases to an
address, and those check zero size symbols, which, before calling
symbol__fixup_end() are _all_ symbols in a just parsed kallsyms file.

So first fixup the end, then fixup the duplicates.

Found while trying to figure out why 'perf test vmlinux' failed, see the
output of 'perf test -v vmlinux' to see cases where the symbols picked
as best for vmlinux don't match the ones picked for kallsyms.

commit c97b40e4d15f13a36cd037d598e45cbe9e1e5757 upstream.

We can allow aliases to be kept, but we were checking this just when
loading vmlinux files, be consistent, do it for any symbol table loading
code that calls symbol__fixup_duplicate() by making this function check
.allow_aliases instead.

<title>perf stat: Fix interval output values</title>

<id>urn:sha1:7629c7ef5291f692949e8ce1630db9a550e6e62f</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 51fd2df1e882a3c2a3f4b6c9ff243a93c9046dba upstream.

We broke interval data displays with commit:

  3f416f22d1e2 ("perf stat: Do not clean event's private stats")

This commit removed stats cleaning, which is important for '-r' option
to carry counters data over the whole run. But it's necessary to clean
it for interval mode, otherwise the displayed value is avg of all
previous values.

Before:
  $ perf stat -e cycles -a -I 1000 record
  #           time             counts unit events
       1.000240796         75,216,287      cycles
       2.000512791        107,823,524      cycles

  $ perf stat report
  #           time             counts unit events
       1.000240796         75,216,287      cycles
       2.000512791         91,519,906      cycles

Now:
  $ perf stat report
  #           time             counts unit events
       1.000240796         75,216,287      cycles
       2.000512791        107,823,524      cycles

Notice the second value being bigger (91,.. &lt; 107,..).

This could be easily verified by using perf script which displays raw
stat data:

  $ perf script
  CPU  THREAD       VAL         ENA         RUN        TIME EVENT
    0      -1  23855779  1000209530  1000209530  1000240796 cycles
    1      -1  33340397  1000224964  1000224964  1000240796 cycles
    2      -1  15835415  1000226695  1000226695  1000240796 cycles
    3      -1   2184696  1000228245  1000228245  1000240796 cycles
    0      -1  97014312  2000514533  2000514533  2000512791 cycles
    1      -1  46121497  2000543795  2000543795  2000512791 cycles
    2      -1  32269530  2000543566  2000543566  2000512791 cycles
    3      -1   7634472  2000544108  2000544108  2000512791 cycles

The sum of the first 4 values is the first interval aggregated value:

  23855779 + 33340397 + 15835415 + 2184696 = 75,216,287

The sum of the second 4 values minus first value is the second interval
aggregated value:

  97014312 + 46121497 + 32269530 + 7634472 - 75216287 = 107,823,524

<title>perf intel-pt: Fix MTC timestamp calculation for large MTC periods</title>

commit 3bccbe20f6d188ce7b00326e776b745cfd35b10a upstream.

The MTC packet provides a 8-bit slice of CTC which is related to TSC by
the TMA packet, however the TMA packet only provides the lower 16 bits
of CTC.  If mtc_shift &gt; 8 then some of the MTC bits are not in the CTC
provided by the TMA packet. Fix-up the last_mtc calculated from the TMA
packet by copying the missing bits from the current MTC assuming the
least difference between the two, and that the current MTC comes after
last_mtc.

commit 51ee6481fa8e879cc942bcc1b0af713e158b7a98 upstream.

In cycle-accurate mode, timestamps can be calculated from CYC packets.
The decoder also estimates timestamps based on the number of
instructions since the last timestamp. For that to work in
cycle-accurate mode, the instruction count needs to be reset to zero
when a timestamp is calculated from a CYC packet, but that wasn't
happening, so fix it.

<content type='text'>
commit 810c398bc09b2f2dfde52a7d2483a710612c5fb8 upstream.

Fix occasional decoder errors decoding trace data collected in snapshot
mode.

Snapshot mode can take successive snapshots of trace which might overlap.
The decoder checks whether there is an overlap but only looks at the
current and previous buffer. However buffers that do not contain
synchronization (i.e. PSB) packets cannot be decoded or used for overlap
checking. That means the decoder actually needs to check overlaps between
the current buffer and the previous buffer that contained usable data.
Make that change.

commit a55e5663761366fb883f6f25375dd68bc958b9db upstream.

We were dropping the reference we possibly held but not obtaining one
for the new maps, which we will drop at perf_evlist__delete(), fix it.

This was caught by Steven Noonan in some of the machines which would
produce this output when caught by glibc debug mechanisms:

Caused by checking the 'callchain' flag when it should have been the
'last_branch' flag.  Fix that.
