[ Upstream commit bf3f00378524adae16628cbadbd11ba7211863bb ]

BPF map name is limited to BPF_OBJ_NAME_LEN.
A map name is defined as being longer than BPF_OBJ_NAME_LEN,
it will be truncated to BPF_OBJ_NAME_LEN when a userspace program
calls libbpf to create the map. A pinned map also generates a path
in the /sys. If the previous program wanted to reuse the map，
it can not get bpf_map by name, because the name of the map is only
partially the same as the name which get from pinned path.

The syscall information below show that map name "process_pinned_map"
is truncated to "process_pinned_".

    bpf(BPF_OBJ_GET, {pathname="/sys/fs/bpf/process_pinned_map",
    bpf_fd=0, file_flags=0}, 144) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

    bpf(BPF_MAP_CREATE, {map_type=BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH, key_size=4,
    value_size=4,max_entries=1024, map_flags=0, inner_map_fd=0,
    map_name="process_pinned_",map_ifindex=0, btf_fd=3, btf_key_type_id=6,
    btf_value_type_id=10,btf_vmlinux_value_type_id=0}, 72) = 4

This patch check that if the name of pinned map are the same as the
actual name for the first (BPF_OBJ_NAME_LEN - 1),
bpf map still uses the name which is included in bpf object.

[ Upstream commit 39efdd94e314336f4acbac4c07e0f37bdc3bef71 ]

In binutils 2.35, 'nm -D' changed to show symbol versions along with
symbol names, with the usual @@ separator.  When generating
libtraceevent-dynamic-list we need just the names, so strip off the
version suffix if present.

commit 52a9dab6d892763b2a8334a568bd4e2c1a6fde66 upstream.

GCC 12 correctly reports a potential use-after-free condition in the
xrealloc helper. Fix the warning by avoiding an implicit "free(ptr)"
when size == 0:

commit e9ee9efc0d176512cdce9d27ff8549d7ffa2bfcd upstream

Often we want to write tests cases that check things like bad context
offset accesses.  And one way to do this is to use an odd offset on,
for example, a 32-bit load.

This unfortunately triggers the alignment checks first on platforms
that do not set CONFIG_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS.  So the test
case see the alignment failure rather than what it was testing for.

It is often not completely possible to respect the original intention
of the test, or even test the same exact thing, while solving the
alignment issue.

Another option could have been to check the alignment after the
context and other validations are performed by the verifier, but
that is a non-trivial change to the verifier.

The token variable in the process_dynamic_array_len function is
allocated in the read_expect_type function, but is not freed before
calling the read_token function.

Free the token variable before calling read_token in order to plug the
leak.

The token variable in the process_dynamic_array_len function is
allocated in the read_expect_type function, but is not freed before
calling the read_token function.

Free the token variable before calling read_token in order to plug the
leak.

<title>tools api fs: Make xxx__mountpoint() more scalable</title>

[ Upstream commit c6fddb28bad26e5472cb7acf7b04cd5126f1a4ab ]

The xxx_mountpoint() interface provided by fs.c finds mount points for
common pseudo filesystems. The first time xxx_mountpoint() is invoked,
it scans the mount table (/proc/mounts) looking for a match. If found,
it is cached. The price to scan /proc/mounts is paid once if the mount
is found.

When the mount point is not found, subsequent calls to xxx_mountpoint()
scan /proc/mounts over and over again.  There is no caching.

This causes a scaling issue in perf record with hugeltbfs__mountpoint().
The function is called for each process found in
synthesize__mmap_events().  If the machine has thousands of processes
and if the /proc/mounts has many entries this could cause major overhead
in perf record. We have observed multi-second slowdowns on some
configurations.

As an example on a laptop:

Before:

  $ sudo umount /dev/hugepages
  $ strace -e trace=openat -o /tmp/tt perf record -a ls
  $ fgrep mounts /tmp/tt
  285

After:

  $ sudo umount /dev/hugepages
  $ strace -e trace=openat -o /tmp/tt perf record -a ls
  $ fgrep mounts /tmp/tt
  1

One could argue that the non-caching in case the moint point is not
found is intentional. That way subsequent calls may discover a moint
point if the sysadmin mounts the filesystem. But the same argument could
be made against caching the mount point. It could be unmounted causing
errors.  It all depends on the intent of the interface. This patch
assumes it is expected to scan /proc/mounts once. The patch documents
the caching behavior in the fs.h header file.

An alternative would be to just fix perf record. But it would solve the
problem with hugetlbs__mountpoint() but there could be similar issues
(possibly down the line) with other xxx_mountpoint() calls in perf or
other tools.

[ Upstream commit 6794200fa3c9c3e6759dae099145f23e4310f4f7 ]

GCC9 introduced string hardening mechanisms, which exhibits the error
during fs api compilation:

error: '__builtin_strncpy' specified bound 4096 equals destination size
[-Werror=stringop-truncation]

This comes when the length of copy passed to strncpy is is equal to
destination size, which could potentially lead to buffer overflow.

There is a need to mitigate this potential issue by limiting the size of
destination by 1 and explicitly terminate the destination with NULL.

commit 6c4798d3f08b81c2c52936b10e0fa872590c96ae upstream.

Disable a couple of compilation warnings (which are treated as errors)
on strlcpy() definition and declaration, allowing users to compile perf
and kernel (objtool) when:

1. glibc have strlcpy() (such as in ALT Linux since 2004) objtool and
   perf build fails with this (in gcc):

  In file included from exec-cmd.c:3:
  tools/include/linux/string.h:20:15: error: redundant redeclaration of ‘strlcpy’ [-Werror=redundant-decls]
     20 | extern size_t strlcpy(char *dest, const char *src, size_t size);

2. clang ignores `-Wredundant-decls', but produces another warning when
   building perf:

    CC       util/string.o
  ../lib/string.c:99:8: error: attribute declaration must precede definition [-Werror,-Wignored-attributes]
  size_t __weak strlcpy(char *dest, const char *src, size_t size)
  ../../tools/include/linux/compiler.h:66:34: note: expanded from macro '__weak'
  # define __weak                 __attribute__((weak))
  /usr/include/bits/string_fortified.h:151:8: note: previous definition is here
  __NTH (strlcpy (char *__restrict __dest, const char *__restrict __src,

Committer notes:

The

 #pragma GCC diagnostic

directive was introduced in gcc 4.6, so check for that as well.
