[ Upstream commit fa1195ccc0af2d121abe0fe266a1caee8c265eea ]

We need to increase output offset in each iteration, not decrease it as
we currently do.

I guess we were lucky to finish in most cases in first iteration, so the
bug never showed. However it shows a lot when working with big (~4GB)
size data.

<title>perf report: Fix a no annotate browser displayed issue</title>

[ Upstream commit 40c39e3046411f84bab82f66783ff3593e2bcd9b ]

When enabling '-b' option in perf record, for example,

  perf record -b ...
  perf report

and then browsing the annotate browser from perf report (press 'A'), it
would fail (annotate browser can't be displayed).

It's because the '.add_entry_cb' op of struct report is overwritten by
hist_iter__branch_callback() in builtin-report.c. But this function doesn't do
something like mapping symbols and sources. So next, do_annotate() will return
directly.

        notes = symbol__annotation(act-&gt;ms.sym);
        if (!notes-&gt;src)
                return 0;

This patch adds the lost code to hist_iter__branch_callback (refer to
hist_iter__report_callback).

v2:

Fix a crash bug when perform 'perf report --stdio'.

The reason is that we init the symbol annotation only in browser mode, it
doesn't allocate/init resources for stdio mode.

So now in hist_iter__branch_callback(), it will return directly if it's not in
browser mode.

<title>perf evsel: Enable ignore_missing_thread for pid option</title>

[ Upstream commit ca8000684ec4e66f965e1f9547a3c6cb834154ca ]

While monitoring a multithread process with pid option, perf sometimes
may return sys_perf_event_open failure with 3(No such process) if any of
the process's threads die before we open the event. However, we want
perf continue monitoring the remaining threads and do not exit with
error.

Here, the patch enables perf_evsel::ignore_missing_thread for -p option
to ignore complete failure if any of threads die before we open the event.
But it may still return sys_perf_event_open failure with 22(Invalid) if we
monitors several event groups.

        sys_perf_event_open: pid 28960  cpu 40  group_fd 118202  flags 0x8
        sys_perf_event_open: pid 28961  cpu 40  group_fd 118203  flags 0x8
        WARNING: Ignored open failure for pid 28962
        sys_perf_event_open: pid 28962  cpu 40  group_fd [118203]  flags 0x8
        sys_perf_event_open failed, error -22

That is because when we ignore a missing thread, we change the thread_idx
without dealing with its fds, FD(evsel, cpu, thread). Then get_group_fd()
may return a wrong group_fd for the next thread and sys_perf_event_open()
return with 22.

        sys_perf_event_open(){
           ...
           if (group_fd != -1)
               perf_fget_light()//to get corresponding group_leader by group_fd
           ...
           if (group_leader)
              if (group_leader-&gt;ctx-&gt;task != ctx-&gt;task)//should on the same task
                   goto err_context
           ...
        }

This patch also fixes this bug by introducing perf_evsel__remove_fd() and
update_fds to allow removing fds for the missing thread.

Changes since v1:
- Change group_fd__remove() into a more genetic way without changing code logic
- Remove redundant condition

Changes since v2:
- Use a proper function name and add some comment.
- Multiline comment style fixes.

Committer testing:

Before this patch the recently added 'perf stat --per-thread' for system
wide counting would race while enumerating all threads using /proc:

  [root@jouet ~]# perf stat --per-thread
  failed to parse CPUs map: No such file or directory

   Usage: perf stat [&lt;options&gt;] [&lt;command&gt;]

      -C, --cpu &lt;cpu&gt;       list of cpus to monitor in system-wide
      -a, --all-cpus        system-wide collection from all CPUs
  [root@jouet ~]# perf stat --per-thread
  failed to parse CPUs map: No such file or directory

   Usage: perf stat [&lt;options&gt;] [&lt;command&gt;]

      -C, --cpu &lt;cpu&gt;       list of cpus to monitor in system-wide
      -a, --all-cpus        system-wide collection from all CPUs
  [root@jouet ~]#

When, say, the kernel was being built, so lots of shortlived threads,
after this patch this doesn't happen.

<title>perf evsel: Fix swap for samples with raw data</title>

[ Upstream commit f9d8adb345d7adbb2d3431eea73beb89c8d6d612 ]

When we detect a different endianity we swap event before processing.
It's tricky for samples because we have no idea what's inside. We treat
it as an array of u64s, swap them and later on we swap back parts which
are different.

We mangle this way also the tracepoint raw data, which ends up in report
showing wrong data:

  1.95%  comm=Q^B pid=29285 prio=16777216 target_cpu=000
  1.67%  comm=l^B pid=0 prio=16777216 target_cpu=000

Luckily the traceevent library handles the endianity by itself (thank
you Steven!), so we can pass the RAW data directly in the other
endianity.

  2.51%  comm=beah-rhts-task pid=1175 prio=120 target_cpu=002
  2.23%  comm=kworker/0:0 pid=11566 prio=120 target_cpu=000

The fix is basically to swap back the raw data if different endianity is
detected.

[ Upstream commit 4b3a2716dd785fabb9f6ac80c1d53cb29a88169d ]

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)

commit 40c21898ba5372c14ef71717040529794a91ccc2 upstream.

When printing stats in CSV mode, 'perf stat' appends extra separators
when a counter is not supported:

&lt;not supported&gt;,,L1-dcache-store-misses,mesos/bd442f34-2b4a-47df-b966-9b281f9f56fc,0,100.00,,,,

Which causes a failure when parsing fields. The numbers of separators
should be the same for each line, no matter if the counter is or not
supported.

<title>perf annotate: Fix objdump comment parsing for Intel mov dissassembly</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 35a8a148d8c1ee9e5ae18f9565a880490f816f89 ]

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 &lt;stderr@@GLIBC_2.2.5+0x9a8&gt;

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 '&lt;' and '&gt;' 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.

[ Upstream commit 36c263607d36c6a3788c09301d9f5fe35404048a ]

This patch fixes a bug introduced with commit d9f8dfa9baf9 ("perf
annotate s390: Implement jump types for perf annotate").

'perf annotate' displays annotated assembler output by reading output of
command objdump and parsing the disassembled lines. For each shown
mnemonic this function sequence is executed:

  disasm_line__new()
  |
  +--&gt; disasm_line__init_ins()
       |
       +--&gt; ins__find()
            |
            +--&gt; arch-&gt;associate_instruction_ops()

The s390x specific function assigned to function pointer
associate_instruction_ops refers to function s390__associate_ins_ops().

This function checks for supported mnemonics and assigns a NULL pointer
to unsupported mnemonics.  However even the NULL pointer is added to the
architecture dependend instruction array.

This leads to an extremely large architecture instruction array
(due to array resize logic in function arch__grow_instructions()).

Depending on the objdump output being parsed the array can end up
with several ten-thousand elements.

This patch checks if a mnemonic is supported and only adds supported
ones into the architecture instruction array. The array does not contain
elements with NULL pointers anymore.

Before the patch (With some debug printf output):

[root@s35lp76 perf]# time ./perf annotate --stdio &gt; /tmp/xxxbb

real	8m49.679s
user	7m13.008s
sys	0m1.649s
[root@s35lp76 perf]# fgrep '__ins__find sorted:1 nr_instructions:'
			/tmp/xxxbb | tail -1
__ins__find sorted:1 nr_instructions:87433 ins:0x341583c0
[root@s35lp76 perf]#

The number of different s390x branch/jump/call/return instructions
entered into the array is 87433.

After the patch (With some printf debug output:)

The number of different s390x branch/jump/call/return instructions
entered into the array is 56 which is sensible.

[ Upstream commit f250b09c779550e4a7a412dae6d3ad34d5201019 ]

The PERF_RECORD_USER_ events are synthesized by the tool to assist in
processing the PERF_RECORD_ ones generated by the kernel, the printing
of that information doesn't come with a perf_sample structure, so, when
dumping the event fields using 'perf report -D' there were columns that
end up not being printed.

To tidy up a bit this, fake a perf_sample structure with zeroes to have
the missing columns printed and avoid the occasional surprise with that.

Before:

0 0x45b8 [0x68]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP -1/0: [0xffffffffc12ec000(0x4000) @ 0]: x /lib/modules/4.14.0+/kernel/fs/nls/nls_utf8.ko
