<content type='text'>
commit 076333870c2f5bdd9b6d31e7ca1909cf0c84cbfa upstream.

When TSC is not available, "timeless" decoding is used but a divide by
zero occurs if perf_time_to_tsc() is called.

Ensure the divisor is not zero.

commit 5a99d99e3310a565b0cf63f785b347be9ee0da45 upstream.

Auxtrace records might have up to 7 bytes of padding appended. Adjust
the overlap accordingly.

commit 03997612904866abe7cdcc992784ef65cb3a4b81 upstream.

CYC packet timestamp calculation depends upon CBR which was being
cleared upon overflow (OVF). That can cause errors due to failing to
synchronize with sideband events. Even if a CBR change has been lost,
the old CBR is still a better estimate than zero. So remove the clearing
of CBR.

<title>perf symbols: Filter out hidden symbols from labels</title>

<id>urn:sha1:ce42bb1d2bef896f3f22080807df5ba0bfb064a6</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 59a17706915fe5ea6f711e1f92d4fb706bce07fe ]

When perf is built with the annobin plugin (RHEL8 build) extra symbols
are added to its binary:

  # nm perf | grep annobin | head -10
  0000000000241100 t .annobin_annotate.c
  0000000000326490 t .annobin_annotate.c
  0000000000249255 t .annobin_annotate.c_end
  00000000003283a8 t .annobin_annotate.c_end
  00000000001bce18 t .annobin_annotate.c_end.hot
  00000000001bce18 t .annobin_annotate.c_end.hot
  00000000001bc3e2 t .annobin_annotate.c_end.unlikely
  00000000001bc400 t .annobin_annotate.c_end.unlikely
  00000000001bce18 t .annobin_annotate.c.hot
  00000000001bce18 t .annobin_annotate.c.hot
  ...

Those symbols have no use for report or annotation and should be
skipped.  Moreover they interfere with the DWARF unwind test on the PPC
arch, where they are mixed with checked symbols and then the test fails:

  # perf test dwarf -v
  59: Test dwarf unwind                                     :
  --- start ---
  test child forked, pid 8515
  unwind: .annobin_dwarf_unwind.c:ip = 0x10dba40dc (0x2740dc)
  ...
  got: .annobin_dwarf_unwind.c 0x10dba40dc, expecting test__arch_unwind_sample
  unwind: failed with 'no error'

The annobin symbols are defined as NOTYPE/LOCAL/HIDDEN:

  # readelf -s ./perf | grep annobin | head -1
    40: 00000000001bce4f     0 NOTYPE  LOCAL  HIDDEN    13 .annobin_init.c

They can still pass the check for the label symbol. Adding check for
HIDDEN and INTERNAL (as suggested by Nick below) visibility and filter
out such symbols.

&gt;   Just to be awkward, if you are going to ignore STV_HIDDEN
&gt;   symbols then you should probably also ignore STV_INTERNAL ones
&gt;   as well...  Annobin does not generate them, but you never know,
&gt;   one day some other tool might create some.

[ Upstream commit 1497e804d1a6e2bd9107ddf64b0310449f4673eb ]

This patch fixes an issue in cpumap.c when used with the TOPOLOGY
header. In some configurations, some NUMA nodes may have no CPU (empty
cpulist). Yet a cpumap map must be created otherwise perf abort with an
error. This patch handles this case by creating a dummy map.

  Before:

  $ perf record -o - -e cycles noploop 2 | perf script -i -
  0x6e8 [0x6c]: failed to process type: 80

  After:

  $ perf record -o - -e cycles noploop 2 | perf script -i -
  noploop for 2 seconds

commit 5ea0416f51cc93436bbe497c62ab49fd9cb245b6 upstream.

So far the whole stack was thrown away when any error occurred before
the maximum stack depth was unwound. This is actually a very common
scenario though. The stacks that got unwound so far are still
interesting. This removes a large chunk of differences when comparing
perf script output for libunwind and libdw perf unwinding.

E.g. with libunwind:

commit 489338a717a0dfbbd5a3fabccf172b78f0ac9015 upstream.

Notice that the use of the bitwise OR operator '|' always leads to true
in this particular case, which seems a bit suspicious due to the context
in which this expression is being used.

Fix this by using bitwise AND operator '&amp;' instead.

This bug was detected with the help of Coccinelle.

[ Upstream commit bef0b8970f27da5ca223e522a174d03e2587761d ]

The strncpy() function may leave the destination string buffer
unterminated, better use strlcpy() that we have a __weak fallback
implementation for systems without it.

In this case the 'target' buffer is coming from a list of build-ids that
are expected to have a len of at most (SBUILD_ID_SIZE - 1) chars, so
probably we're safe, but since we're using strncpy() here, use strlcpy()
instead to provide the intended safety checking without the using the
problematic strncpy() function.

This fixes this warning on an Alpine Linux Edge system with gcc 8.2:

  util/probe-file.c: In function 'probe_cache__open.isra.5':
  util/probe-file.c:427:3: error: 'strncpy' specified bound 41 equals destination size [-Werror=stringop-truncation]

This fixes this warning on an Alpine Linux Edge system with gcc 8.2:

  util/header.c: In function 'perf_event__synthesize_event_update_unit':
  util/header.c:3586:2: error: 'strncpy' output truncated before terminating nul copying as many bytes from a string as its length [-Werror=stringop-truncation]
    strncpy(ev-&gt;data, evsel-&gt;unit, size);
    ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  util/header.c:3579:16: note: length computed here
    size_t size = strlen(evsel-&gt;unit);
                  ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
