<id>urn:sha1:690d22d9d4423b4522fb44a71145403eef2df834</id>
<content type='text'>
Recently, s390 uses a syscall.tbl input file to generate its system call
table and unistd uapi header files.  Hence, update mksyscalltbl to use
it as input to create the system table for perf.

<title>perf record: Fix failed memory allocation for get_cpuid_str</title>

<id>urn:sha1:81fccd6ca507d3b2012eaf1edeb9b1dbf4bd22db</id>
<content type='text'>
In x86 architecture dependend part function get_cpuid_str() mallocs a
128 byte buffer, but does not check if the memory allocation succeeded
or not.

When the memory allocation fails, function __get_cpuid() is called with
first parameter being a NULL pointer.  However this function references
its first parameter and operates on a NULL pointer which might cause
core dumps.

<title>perf tools: Add ARM Statistical Profiling Extensions (SPE) support</title>

<id>urn:sha1:ffd3d18c20b8df281a18940ee80a99b28114d4b7</id>
<content type='text'>
'perf record' and 'perf report --dump-raw-trace' supported in this
release.

Example usage:

 # perf record -e arm_spe/ts_enable=1,pa_enable=1/ dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null count=10000
 # perf report --dump-raw-trace

Note that the perf.data file is portable, so the report can be run on
another architecture host if necessary.

Output will contain raw SPE data and its textual representation, such
as:

0x5c8 [0x30]: PERF_RECORD_AUXTRACE size: 0x200000  offset: 0  ref: 0x1891ad0e  idx: 1  tid: 2227  cpu: 1

Other release notes:

- applies to acme's perf/{core,urgent} branches, likely elsewhere

- Report is self-contained within the tool.
  Record requires enabling the kernel SPE driver by
  setting CONFIG_ARM_SPE_PMU.

- The intel-bts implementation was used as a starting point; its
  min/default/max buffer sizes and power of 2 pages granularity need to be
  revisited for ARM SPE

- Recording across multiple SPE clusters/domains not supported

- Snapshot support (record -S), and conversion to native perf events
  (e.g., via 'perf inject --itrace'), are also not supported

- Technically both cs-etm and spe can be used simultaneously, however
  disabled for simplicity in this release

<title>perf probe arm64: Fix symbol fixup issues due to ELF type</title>

<id>urn:sha1:f1031c8d33a8c40d4cac26e58c37d9fba0e31a8a</id>
<content type='text'>
On an arm64 machine running a CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE=y kernel, perf
kernel symbol resolution fails.  Debugging saw symsrc_init calling the
default elf__needs_adjust_symbols() where checks for an ET_DYN (3)
ehdr.e_type failed when they should have succeeded.

Fix by adopting powerpc version of the weak elf__needs_adjust_symbols()
function, as done in commit d2332098331f ("perf probe ppc: Fix symbol
fixup issues due to ELF type").

Prior to this patch, perf test 1 would fail:

  $ sudo oldperf test -v 1 |&amp; head
   1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms                       :
  test child forked, pid 33374

  ...

After applying this patch, perf test 1 now succeeds:

<content type='text'>
Commit d80406453ad4 ("perf symbols: Allow user probes on versioned
symbols") allows user to find default versioned symbols (with "@@") in
map. However, it did not enable normal versioned symbol (with "@") for
perf-probe.  E.g.

  =====
  # ./perf probe -x /lib64/libc-2.25.so malloc_get_state
  Failed to find symbol malloc_get_state in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so
    Error: Failed to add events.
  =====

This solves above issue by improving perf-probe symbol search function,
as below.

  =====
  # ./perf probe -x /lib64/libc-2.25.so malloc_get_state
  Added new event:
    probe_libc:malloc_get_state (on malloc_get_state in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

	  perf record -e probe_libc:malloc_get_state -aR sleep 1

  # ./perf probe -l
    probe_libc:malloc_get_state (on malloc_get_state@GLIBC_2.2.5 in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so)
  =====

And use it in the libunwind case, with both passing a valid perf_env to
extract the arch to be normalized from and passing NULL with the same
semantic as in the annotate code: to get it from uname() uts.machine.

Now the code to generate per arch errno translation tables (int/string)
can use it to decode perf.data files recorded in a different arch than
that where 'perf trace' (or any other analysis tool) runs.

This should speed up accessing new system calls introduced with
the kernel rather than waiting for libaudit updates to include
them.
