[ Upstream commit ecc68ee216c6c5b2f84915e1441adf436f1b019b ]

It seems that perf stat -b &lt;prog id&gt; doesn't produce any results:

    $ perf stat -e cycles -b 4 -I 10000 -vvv
    Control descriptor is not initialized
    cycles: 0 0 0
                time        counts unit      events
	10.007641640    &lt;not supported&gt;      cycles

Looks like this happens because fentry/fexit progs are getting loaded, but the
corresponding perf event is not enabled and not added into the events bpf map.
I think there is some mixing up between two type of bpf support, one for bperf
and one for bpf_profiler. Both are identified via evsel__is_bpf, based on which
perf events are enabled, but for the latter (bpf_profiler) a perf event is
required. Using evsel__is_bperf to check only bperf produces expected results:

    $ perf stat -e cycles -b 4 -I 10000 -vvv
    Control descriptor is not initialized
    ------------------------------------------------------------
    perf_event_attr:
      size                             136
      sample_type                      IDENTIFIER
      read_format                      TOTAL_TIME_ENABLED|TOTAL_TIME_RUNNING
      disabled                         1
      exclude_guest                    1
    ------------------------------------------------------------
    sys_perf_event_open: pid -1  cpu 0  group_fd -1  flags 0x8 = 3

    ------------------------------------------------------------
    cycles: 309426 169009 169009
		time             counts unit events
	10.010091271             309426      cycles

The final numbers correspond (at least in the level of magnitude) to the
same metric obtained via bpftool.

[ Upstream commit 449067f3fc9f340da54e383738286881e6634d0b ]

In this context, timeless refers to the trace data rather than the perf
event data. But when detecting whether there are timestamps in the trace
data or not, the presence of a timestamp flag on any perf event is used.

Since commit f42c0ce573df ("perf record: Always get text_poke events
with --kcore option") timestamps were added to a tracking event when
--kcore is used which breaks this detection mechanism. Fix it by
detecting if trace timestamps exist by looking at the ETM config flags.
This would have always been a more accurate way of doing it anyway.

This fixes the following error message when using --kcore with
Coresight:

  $ perf record --kcore -e cs_etm// --per-thread
  $ perf report
  The perf.data/data data has no samples!

[ Upstream commit c160118a90d4acf335993d8d59b02ae2147a524e ]

Addresses of two data structure members were determined before
corresponding null pointer checks in the implementation of the function
“sort__sym_from_cmp”.

Thus avoid the risk for undefined behaviour by removing extra
initialisations for the local variables “from_l” and “from_r” (also
because they were already reassigned with the same value behind this
pointer check).

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

The earlier commit f0cdde28fecc0d7f ("perf hist: Improve srcfile sort
key performance") updated the srcfile logic but missed to change the
-&gt;cmp() callback which is called for every sample.

It should use the same logic like in the srcline to speed up the
processing because it'd return the same information repeatedly for the
same address.  The real processing will be done in
sort__srcfile_collapse().

<title>perf script: Fix Python support when no libtraceevent</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 80c3a7d9f20401169283b5670dbb8d7ac07a1d55 ]

Python scripting can be used without libtraceevent. In particular,
scripting for Intel PT does not use tracepoints, and so does not need
libtraceevent support.

Alter the build and employ conditional compilation to allow Python
scripting without libtraceevent.

Example:

 Before:

    $ ldd `which perf` | grep -i python
    $ ldd `which perf` | grep -i libtraceevent
    $ perf record -e intel_pt//u uname
    Linux
    [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
    [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.031 MB perf.data ]
    $ perf script intel-pt-events.py |&amp; head -3
      Error: Couldn't find script `intel-pt-events.py'

     See perf script -l for available scripts.

 After:

    $ ldd `which perf` | grep -i python
            libpython3.10.so.1.0 =&gt; /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython3.10.so.1.0 (0x00007f4bac400000)
    $ ldd `which perf` | grep -i libtraceevent
    $ perf script intel-pt-events.py | head
    Intel PT Branch Trace, Power Events, Event Trace and PTWRITE
         Switch In    8021/8021  [000]     11234.097713404     0/0
           perf-exec  8021/8021  [000]     11234.098041726       psb                        offset: 0x0                0 [unknown] ([unknown])
