[ Upstream commit b63fd11cced17fcb8e133def29001b0f6aaa5e06 ]

When using 'perf stat' with repeat and interval option, it shows wrong
values for events.

The wrong values will be shown for the first interval on the second and
subsequent repetitions.

Without the fix:

  # perf stat -r 3 -I 2000 -e faults -e sched:sched_switch -a sleep 5

     2.000282489                 53      faults

prev_raw_counts is allocated when using intervals. This is used when
calculating the difference in the counts of events when using interval.

The current counts are stored in prev_raw_counts to calculate the
differences in the next iteration.

On the first interval of the second and subsequent repetitions,
prev_raw_counts would be the values stored in the last interval of the
previous repetitions, while the current counts will only be for the
first interval of the current repetition.

Hence there is a possibility of events showing up as big number.

Fix this by resetting prev_raw_counts whenever perf stat repeats the
command.

With the fix:

  # perf stat -r 3 -I 2000 -e faults -e sched:sched_switch -a sleep 5

Committer notes:

This was broken since the cset introducing the --interval feature, i.e.
--repeat + --interval wasn't tested at that point, add the Fixes tag so
that automatic scripts can pick this up.

[ Upstream commit aef70a1f44c0b570e6345c02c2d240471859f0a4 ]

Some compilers emit warning for potential uninitialized next_id usage.
The code is correct, but control flow is too complicated for some
compilers to figure this out. Re-initialize next_id to satisfy
compiler.

[ Upstream commit 4670d68b9254710fdeaf794cad54d8b2c9929e0a ]

Some recent changes in latest Clang started causing the following
warning when unrolling strobemeta test case main loop:

  progs/strobemeta.h:416:2: warning: loop not unrolled: the optimizer was
  unable to perform the requested transformation; the transformation might
  be disabled or specified as part of an unsupported transformation
  ordering [-Wpass-failed=transform-warning]

This patch simplifies loop's exit condition to depend only on constant
max iteration number (STROBE_MAX_MAP_ENTRIES), while moving early
termination logic inside the loop body. The changes are equivalent from
program logic standpoint, but fixes the warning. It also appears to
improve generated BPF code, as it fixes previously failing non-unrolled
strobemeta test cases.

[ Upstream commit 815c1560bf8fd522b8d93a1d727868b910c1cc24 ]

With Java 11 there is no seperate JRE anymore.

Details:

  https://coderanch.com/t/701603/java/JRE-JDK

Therefore the detection of the JRE needs to be adapted.

This change works for s390 and x86.  I have not tested other platforms.

After commit 62974fc389b3 ("libnvdimm: Enable unit test infrastructure

Avoid this by including linux/acpi.h in nfit_test.h, which allows us to
remove both the typedef and the forward declaration of acpi_object.

[ Upstream commit 88282297fff00796e81f5e67734a6afdfb31fbc4 ]

The seccomp selftest goes to some length to build against older kernel
headers, viz. all the #ifdefs at the beginning of the file.

Commit 201766a20e30 ("ptrace: add PTRACE_GET_SYSCALL_INFO request")
introduces some additional macros, but doesn't do the #ifdef dance.
Let's add that dance here to avoid:

[ Upstream commit 9e6124d9d635957b56717f85219a88701617253f ]

Since add_probe_trace_event() can reuse tf-&gt;tevs[i] after calling
clear_probe_trace_event(), this can make perf-probe crash if the 1st
attempt of probe event finding fails to find an event argument, and the
2nd attempt fails to find probe point.

E.g.
  $ perf probe -D "task_pid_nr tsk"
  Failed to find 'tsk' in this function.
  Failed to get entry address of warn_bad_vsyscall
  Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Committer testing:

After the patch:

  $ perf probe -D "task_pid_nr tsk"
  Failed to find 'tsk' in this function.
  Failed to get entry address of warn_bad_vsyscall
  Failed to get entry address of signal_fault
  Failed to get entry address of show_signal
  Failed to get entry address of umip_printk
  Failed to get entry address of __bad_area_nosemaphore
  &lt;SNIP&gt;
  Failed to get entry address of sock_set_timeout
  Failed to get entry address of tcp_recvmsg
  Probe point 'task_pid_nr' not found.
    Error: Failed to add events.

commit 443f2d5ba13d65ccfd879460f77941875159d154 upstream.

Observe a segmentation fault when 'perf stat' is asked to repeat forever
with the interval option.

Without fix:

  # perf stat -r 0 -I 5000 -e cycles -a sleep 10
  #           time             counts unit events
       5.000211692  3,13,89,82,34,157      cycles
      10.000380119  1,53,98,52,22,294      cycles
      10.040467280       17,16,79,265      cycles
  Segmentation fault

This problem was only observed when we use forever option aka -r 0 and
works with limited repeats. Calling print_counter with ts being set to
NULL, is not a correct option when interval is set. Hence avoid
print_counter(NULL,..)  if interval is set.

With fix:

  # perf stat -r 0 -I 5000 -e cycles -a sleep 10
   #           time             counts unit events
       5.019866622  3,15,14,43,08,697      cycles
      10.039865756  3,15,16,31,95,261      cycles
      10.059950628     1,26,05,47,158      cycles

      10.030543876       66,90,18,333      cycles
       5.009848281  3,14,51,98,25,437      cycles
      10.029854402  3,15,14,93,04,918      cycles
       5.009834177  3,14,51,95,92,316      cycles

Committer notes:

Did the 'git bisect' to find the cset introducing the problem to add the
Fixes tag below, and at that time the problem reproduced as:

  (gdb) run stat -r0 -I500 sleep 1
  &lt;SNIP&gt;
  Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
  print_interval (prefix=prefix@entry=0x7fffffffc8d0 "", ts=ts@entry=0x0) at builtin-stat.c:866

  (gdb) bt

Mostly the same as just before this patch:

commit 0216234c2eed1367a318daeb9f4a97d8217412a0 upstream.

We release wrong pointer on error path in cpu_cache_level__read
function, leading to segfault:

  (gdb) r record ls
  Starting program: /root/perf/tools/perf/perf record ls
  ...
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  double free or corruption (out)

  Thread 1 "perf" received signal SIGABRT, Aborted.

  #7  0x0000000010143c90 in build_caches (cntp=0x7fffffffa118, size=&lt;optimiz..

Releasing the proper pointer.
