[ Upstream commit 7c5b019e3a638a5a290b0ec020f6ca83d2ec2aaa ]

Fix buffer overflow observed when running perf test.

The overflow is when trying to evaluate "1ULL &lt;&lt; (64 - 1)" which is
resulting in -9223372036854775808 which overflows the 20 character
buffer.

If is possible this bug has been reported before but I still don't see
any fix checked in:

<title>libbpf: force fixdep compilation at the start of the build</title>

[ Upstream commit 8e2688876c7f7073d925e1f150e86b8ed3338f52 ]

libbpf targets don't explicitly depend on fixdep target, so when
we do 'make -j$(nproc)', there is a high probability, that some
objects will be built before fixdep binary is available.

Fix this by running sub-make; this makes sure that fixdep dependency
is properly accounted for.

For the same issue in perf, see commit abb26210a395 ("perf tools: Force
fixdep compilation at the start of the build").

[ Upstream commit 23499442c319412aa8e54e7a939e2eb531bdd77d ]

Since commit 88cda1c9da02 ("bpf: libbpf: Provide basic API support
to specify BPF obj name"), libbpf unconditionally sets bpf_attr-&gt;name
for maps. Pre v4.14 kernels don't know about map names and return an
error about unexpected non-zero data. Retry sys_bpf without a map
name to cover older kernels.

v2 changes:

<title>tools lib subcmd: Don't add the kernel sources to the include path</title>

[ Upstream commit ece9804985b57e1ccd83b1fb6288520955a29d51 ]

At some point we decided not to directly include kernel sources files
when building tools/perf/, but when tools/lib/subcmd/ was forked from
tools/perf it somehow ended up adding it via these two lines in its
Makefile:

  CFLAGS += -I$(srctree)/include/uapi
  CFLAGS += -I$(srctree)/include

As $(srctree) points to the kernel sources.

Removing those lines and keeping just:

  CFLAGS += -I$(srctree)/tools/include/

Is enough to build tools/perf and tools/objtool.

This fixes the build when building from the sources in environments such
as the Android NDK crossbuilding from a fedora:26 system:

  subcmd-util.h:11:15: error: expected ',' or ';' before 'void'
   static inline void report(const char *prefix, const char *err, va_list params)
                 ^
  In file included from /git/perf/include/uapi/linux/stddef.h:2:0,
                   from /git/perf/include/uapi/linux/posix_types.h:5,
                   from /opt/android-ndk-r12b/platforms/android-24/arch-arm/usr/include/sys/types.h:36,

                   from run-command.c:2:
  subcmd-util.h:18:17: error: '__no_instrument_function__' attribute applies only to functions

The /opt/android-ndk-r12b/platforms/android-24/arch-arm/usr/include/sys/types.h
file that includes linux/posix_types.h ends up getting the one in the kernel
sources causing the breakage. Fix it.

Test built tools/objtool/ too.

commit f024cf085c423bac7512479f45c34ee9a24af7ce upstream.

In the case that a bprintk event has a dereferenced pointer that is
stored as a string, and there's more values to process (more args), the
arg was not updated to point to the next arg after processing the
dereferenced pointer, and it screwed up what was to be displayed.

<title>perf tools: Fix tracing_path_mount proper path</title>

If there's no tracefs (RHEL7) support the tracing_path_mount
returns debugfs path which results in following fail:

  # perf probe sys_write
  kprobe_events file does not exist - please rebuild kernel with CONFIG_KPROBE_EVENTS.
  Error: Failed to add events.

In tracing_path_debugfs_mount function we need to return the
'tracing' path instead of just the mount to make it work:

  # perf probe sys_write
  Added new event:
    probe:sys_write      (on sys_write)

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

          perf record -e probe:sys_write -aR sleep 1

Adding the 'return tracing_path;' also to tracing_path_tracefs_mount
function just for consistency with tracing_path_debugfs_mount.

Upstream keeps working, because it has the tracefs support.

<title>tools lib bpf: Provide wrapper for strerror_r to build in !_GNU_SOURCE systems</title>

<content type='text'>
Same problem that got fixed in a similar fashion in tools/perf/ in
c8b5f2c96d1b ("tools: Introduce str_error_r()"), fix it in the same
way, licensing needs to be sorted out to libbpf to use libapi, so,
for this simple case, just get the same wrapper in tools/lib/bpf.

This makes libbpf and its users (bpftool, selftests, perf) to build
again in Alpine Linux 3.[45678] and edge.
