<title>tools lib traceevent: Do not free tep-&gt;cmdlines in add_new_comm() on failure</title>

[ Upstream commit e0d2615856b2046c2e8d5bfd6933f37f69703b0b ]

If the re-allocation of tep-&gt;cmdlines succeeds, then the previous
allocation of tep-&gt;cmdlines will be freed. If we later fail in
add_new_comm(), we must not free cmdlines, and also should assign
tep-&gt;cmdlines to the new allocation. Otherwise when freeing tep, the
tep-&gt;cmdlines will be pointing to garbage.

<title>tools lib traceevent: Fix missing equality check for strcmp</title>

[ Upstream commit f32c2877bcb068a718bb70094cd59ccc29d4d082 ]

There was a missing comparison with 0 when checking if type is "s64" or
"u64". Therefore, the body of the if-statement was entered if "type" was
"u64" or not "s64", which made the first strcmp() redundant since if
type is "u64", it's not "s64".

If type is "s64", the body of the if-statement is not entered but since
the remainder of the function consists of if-statements which will not
be entered if type is "s64", we will just return "val", which is
correct, albeit at the cost of a few more calls to strcmp(), i.e., it
will behave just as if the if-statement was entered.

If type is neither "s64" or "u64", the body of the if-statement will be
entered incorrectly and "val" returned. This means that any type that is
checked after "s64" and "u64" is handled the same way as "s64" and
"u64", i.e., the limiting of "val" to fit in for example "s8" is never
reached.

This was introduced in the kernel tree when the sources were copied from
trace-cmd in commit f7d82350e597 ("tools/events: Add files to create
libtraceevent.a"), and in the trace-cmd repo in 1cdbae6035cei
("Implement typecasting in parser") when the function was introduced,
i.e., it has always behaved the wrong way.

[ 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>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 /opt/android-ndk-r12b/platforms/android-24/arch-arm/usr/include/unistd.h:33,
                   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 02bc11de567273da8ab25c54336ddbb71986f38f upstream.

Adding for_each_clear_bit macro plus all its the necessary backbone

[ Upstream commit e3d91b0ca523d53158f435a3e13df7f0cb360ea2 ]

V3: More generic skipping of relo-section (suggested by Daniel)

If clang &gt;= 4.0.1 is missing the option '-target bpf', it will cause
llc/llvm to create two ELF sections for "Exception Frames", with
section names '.eh_frame' and '.rel.eh_frame'.

The BPF ELF loader library libbpf fails when loading files with these
sections.  The other in-kernel BPF ELF loader in samples/bpf/bpf_load.c,
handle this gracefully. And iproute2 loader also seems to work with these
"eh" sections.

The issue in libbpf is caused by bpf_object__elf_collect() skipping
some sections, and later when performing relocation it will be
pointing to a skipped section, as these sections cannot be found by
bpf_object__find_prog_by_idx() in bpf_object__collect_reloc().

This is a general issue that also occurs for other sections, like
debug sections which are also skipped and can have relo section.

As suggested by Daniel.  To avoid keeping state about all skipped
sections, instead perform a direct qlookup in the ELF object.  Lookup
the section that the relo-section points to and check if it contains
executable machine instructions (denoted by the sh_flags
SHF_EXECINSTR).  Use this check to also skip irrelevant relo-sections.

Note, for samples/bpf/ the '-target bpf' parameter to clang cannot be used
due to incompatibility with asm embedded headers, that some of the samples
include. This is explained in more details by Yonghong Song in bpf_devel_QA.

[ Upstream commit d777f8de99b05d399c0e4e51cdce016f26bd971b ]

If a field is a dynamic string, get_field_str() returned just the
offset/size value and not the string. Have it parse the offset/size
correctly to return the actual string. Otherwise filtering fails when
trying to filter fields that are dynamic strings.

[ Upstream commit 38d70b7ca1769f26c0b79f3c08ff2cc949712b59 ]

When processing %pX in pretty_print(), simplify the logic slightly by
incrementing the ptr to the format string if isalnum(ptr[1]) is true.
This follows the logic a bit more closely to what is in the kernel.

Also, this fixes a small bug where %pF was not giving the offset of the
function.
