commit b7a313d84e upstream.
The gcc 8 compiler won't compile the python extension code with the
following errors (one example):
python.c:830:15: error: cast between incompatible function types from \
‘PyObject * (*)(struct pyrf_evsel *, PyObject *, PyObject *)’ \
uct _object * (*)(struct pyrf_evsel *, struct _object *, struct _object *)’} to \
‘PyObject * (*)(PyObject *, PyObject *)’ {aka ‘struct _object * (*)(struct _objeuct \
_object *)’} [-Werror=cast-function-type]
.ml_meth = (PyCFunction)pyrf_evsel__open,
The problem with the PyMethodDef::ml_meth callback is that its type is
determined based on the PyMethodDef::ml_flags value, which we set as
METH_VARARGS | METH_KEYWORDS.
That indicates that the callback is expecting an extra PyObject* arg, and is
actually PyCFunctionWithKeywords type, but the base PyMethodDef::ml_meth type
stays PyCFunction.
Previous gccs did not find this, gcc8 now does. Fixing this by silencing this
warning for python.c build.
Commiter notes:
Do not do that for CC=clang, as it breaks the build in some clang
versions, like the ones in fedora up to fedora27:
fedora:25:error: unknown warning option '-Wno-cast-function-type'; did you mean '-Wno-bad-function-cast'? [-Werror,-Wunknown-warning-option]
fedora:26:error: unknown warning option '-Wno-cast-function-type'; did you mean '-Wno-bad-function-cast'? [-Werror,-Wunknown-warning-option]
fedora:27:error: unknown warning option '-Wno-cast-function-type'; did you mean '-Wno-bad-function-cast'? [-Werror,-Wunknown-warning-option]
#
those have:
clang version 3.9.1 (tags/RELEASE_391/final)
The one in rawhide accepts that:
clang version 6.0.0 (tags/RELEASE_600/final)

commit 3ed5ca2eff upstream.
We catch this record to provide a visual indication that events are
getting lost, then call the default method to allow extra logging shared
with the other tools to take place.
This extra logging was done twice because we were continuing to the
"default" clause where machine__process_event() will end up calling
machine__process_lost_event() again, fix it.

commit 77f18153c0 upstream.
With gcc 8 we get new set of snprintf() warnings that breaks the
compilation, one example:
tests/mem.c: In function ‘check’:
tests/mem.c:19:48: error: ‘%s’ directive output may be truncated writing \
up to 99 bytes into a region of size 89 [-Werror=format-truncation=]
snprintf(failure, sizeof failure, "unexpected %s", out);
The gcc docs says:
To avoid the warning either use a bigger buffer or handle the
function's return value which indicates whether or not its output
has been truncated.
Given that all these warnings are harmless, because the code either
properly fails due to uncomplete file path or we don't care for
truncated output at all, I'm changing all those snprintf() calls to
scnprintf(), which actually 'checks' for the snprint return value so the
gcc stays silent.

The readdir() function is thread safe as long as just one thread uses a

avoid breaking the build with glibc-2.23.90 (upcoming 2.24), use it

See: http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/readdir.3.html
"However, in modern implementations (including the glibc implementation),
concurrent calls to readdir() that specify different directory streams
are thread-safe. In cases where multiple threads must read from the
same directory stream, using readdir() with external synchronization is
still preferable to the use of the deprecated readdir_r(3) function."

commit 35a8a148d8 upstream.
The command 'perf annotate' parses the output of objdump and also
investigates the comments produced by objdump. For example the
output of objdump produces (on x86):
23eee: 4c 8b 3d 13 01 21 00 mov 0x210113(%rip),%r15
# 234008 <stderr@@GLIBC_2.2.5+0x9a8>
and the function mov__parse() is called to investigate the complete
line. Mov__parse() breaks this line into several parts and finally
calls function comment__symbol() to parse the data after the comment
character '#'. Comment__symbol() expects a hexadecimal address followed
by a symbol in '<' and '>' brackets.
However the 2nd parameter given to function comment__symbol()
always points to the comment character '#'. The address parsing
always returns 0 because the character '#' is not a digit and
strtoull() fails without being noticed.
Fix this by advancing the second parameter to function comment__symbol()
by one byte before invocation and add an error check after strtoull()
has been called.

commit d3dbf43c56 upstream.
When we use an initial delay, e.g.: 'perf record --delay 1000', we do not
enable the events until that delay has passed after we started the workload,
including the tracking event, i.e. the one for which we have attr.mmap, etc,
enabled to ask the kernel to generate the PERF_RECORD_{MMAP,COMM,EXEC} metadata
events that will then allow us to resolve addresses in samples to the map, dso
and symbol. There will be a shadow that even synthesizing samples won't cover,
i.e. the workload that we start and other processes forking while we
wait for the initial delay to expire.
So use a dummy event to be the tracking one and make it be enabled on exec.

commit d17d0878f4 upstream.
Andi reported problems when parse errors were detected with vendor
events (json), because in the yyparse/parse_events_parse function we
dereferenced the _data parameter to two different structs, with
different layouts, which ended up making parse_events_evlist->error to
point to random stack addresses.
Fix it by making _data to always be struct parse_events_state, changing
the only place where 'struct parse_events_term' was used in
parse_events.y.

commit e7ede72a6d upstream.
The current symbols__fixup_end() heuristic for the last entry in the rb
tree is suboptimal as it leads to not being able to recognize the symbol
in the call graph in a couple of corner cases, for example:
i) If the symbol has a start address (f.e. exposed via kallsyms)
that is at a page boundary, then the roundup(curr->start, 4096)
for the last entry will result in curr->start == curr->end with
a symbol length of zero.
ii) If the symbol has a start address that is shortly before a page
boundary, then also here, curr->end - curr->start will just be
very few bytes, where it's unrealistic that we could perform a
match against.
Instead, change the heuristic to roundup(curr->start, 4096) + 4096, so
that we can catch such corner cases and have a better chance to find
that specific symbol. It's still just best effort as the real end of the
symbol is unknown to us (and could even be at a larger offset than the
current range), but better than the current situation.
Alexei reported that he recently run into case i) with a JITed eBPF
program (these are all page aligned) as the last symbol which wasn't
properly shown in the call graph (while other eBPF program symbols in
the rb tree were displayed correctly). Since this is a generic issue,
lets try to improve the heuristic a bit.

commit 432746f8e0 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 940db6dcd3 upstream.
When an error happens during alias parsing currently the complete
parsing of all attributes of the PMU is stopped. This is breaks old perf
on a newer kernel that may have not-yet-know alias attributes (such as
.scale or .per-pkg).
Continue when some attribute is unparseable.
This is IMHO a stable candidate and should be backported to older
versions to avoid problems with newer kernels.

commit b5cabbcbd1 upstream.
A copy of /proc/kcore containing the kernel text can be made to the
buildid cache. e.g.
perf buildid-cache -v -k /proc/kcore
To workaround objdump limitations, a copy is also made when annotating
against /proc/kcore.
The copying process stops working from libelf about v1.62 onwards (the
problem was found with v1.63).
The cause is that a call to gelf_getphdr() in kcore__add_phdr() fails
because additional validation has been added to gelf_getphdr().
The use of gelf_getphdr() is a misguided attempt to get default
initialization of the Gelf_Phdr structure. That should not be
necessary because every member of the Gelf_Phdr structure is
subsequently assigned. So just remove the call to gelf_getphdr().
Similarly, a call to gelf_getehdr() in gelf_kcore__init() can be
removed also.
Committer notes:
Note to stable@kernel.org, from Adrian in the cover letter for this
patchkit:
The "Fix copying of /proc/kcore" problem goes back to v3.13 if you think
it is important enough for stable.
