commit dfd0afbf151d85411b371e841f62b81ee5d1ca54 upstream.

GCC 11.3.0 fails to compile btf_dump.c due to the following error,
which seems to originate in btf_dump_struct_data where the returned
value would be uninitialized if btf_vlen returns zero.

btf_dump.c: In function ‘btf_dump_dump_type_data’:
btf_dump.c:2363:12: error: ‘err’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
 2363 |         if (err &lt; 0)
      |            ^

The top two bits of size are used as busy and discard flags, so reject
the reservation that has any of these special bits in the size. With the
addition of validity check, these is also no need to check whether or
not total_size is overflowed.

Similar with the overflow problem on ringbuf mmap, in user_ringbuf_map()
2 * max_entries may overflow u32 when mapping writeable region.

Fixing it by casting the size of writable mmap region into a __u64 and
checking whether or not there will be overflow during mmap.

The maximum size of ringbuf is 2GB on x86-64 host, so 2 * max_entries
will overflow u32 when mapping producer page and data pages. Only
casting max_entries to size_t is not enough, because for 32-bits
application on 64-bits kernel the size of read-only mmap region
also could overflow size_t.

So fixing it by casting the size of read-only mmap region into a __u64
and checking whether or not there will be overflow during mmap.

Using page size as max_entries when probing ring buffer map, else the
probe may fail on host with 64KB page size (e.g., an ARM64 host).

After the fix, the output of "bpftool feature" on above host will be
correct.

Its just for that __packed define, so use it expanded as __attribute__((packed)),
like the other files in /usr/include do.

This was problem was preventing building the libperf examples on ALT

Pull perf tools updates from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

 - Add support for AMD on 'perf mem' and 'perf c2c', the kernel
   enablement patches went via tip.

   Example:

      $ sudo perf mem record -- -c 10000
      ^C[ perf record: Woken up 227 times to write data ]
      [ perf record: Captured and wrote 58.760 MB perf.data (836978 samples) ]

      $ sudo perf mem report -F mem,sample,snoop
      Samples: 836K of event 'ibs_op//', Event count (approx.): 8418762
      Memory access                  Samples  Snoop

      L3 hit                              10  N/A
      Local RAM hit                        2  N/A
      Remote RAM (1 hop) hit            8558  N/A
      Remote Cache (1 hop) hit             3  N/A
      Remote Cache (1 hop) hit             2  HitM
      Remote Cache (2 hops) hit           10  HitM
      Remote Cache (2 hops) hit            6  N/A

 - "perf lock" improvements:

     - Add -E/--entries option to limit the number of entries to
       display, say to ask for just the top 5 contended locks.

     - Add -q/--quiet option to suppress header and debug messages.

     - Add a 'perf test' kernel lock contention entry to test 'perf
       lock'.

 - "perf lock contention" improvements:

     - Ask BPF's bpf_get_stackid() to skip some callchain entries.

       The ones closer to the tooling are bpf related and not that
       interesting, the ones calling the locking function are the ones
       we're interested in, example of a full, unskipped callstack:

     - Allow changing the callstack depth and number of entries to skip.

                          0xffffffffbb8409ee  tick_irq_enter+0x9e

     - Show full callstack in verbose mode (-v option), sometimes this
       is desirable instead of showing just one callstack entry.

 - Allow multiple time ranges in 'perf record --delay' to help in
   reducing the amount of data collected from hardware tracing (Intel
   PT, etc) when there is a rough idea of periods of time where events
   of interest take time.

 - Add Intel PT to record only decoder debug messages when error
   happens.

 - Improve layout of Intel PT man page.

 - Add new branch types: alignment, data and inst faults and arch
   specific ones, such as fiq, debug_halt, debug_exit, debug_inst and
   debug_data on arm64.

   Kernel enablement went thru the tip tree.

 - Fix 'perf probe' error log check in 'perf test' when no debuginfo is
   available.

 - Fix 'perf stat' aggregation mode logic, it should be looking at the
   CPU not at the core number.

 - Fix flags parsing in 'perf trace' filters.

 - Introduce compact encoding of CPU range encoding on perf.data, to
   avoid having a bitmap with all the CPUs.

 - Improvements to the 'perf stat' metrics, including adding
   "core_wide", and computing "smt" from the CPU topology.

 - Add support to the new PERF_FORMAT_LOST perf_event_attr.read_format,
   that allows tooling to ask for the precise number of lost samples for
   a given event.

 - Add 'addr' sort key to see just the address of sampled instructions:

      $ perf record -o- true | perf report -i- -s addr
      [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
      [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.000 MB - ]
      # Samples: 12  of event 'cycles:u'
      # Event count (approx.): 252512
      #
      # Overhead  Address
      # ........  ..................
          42.96%  0x7f96f08443d7
          29.55%  0x7f96f0859b50
          14.76%  0x7f96f0852e02
           8.30%  0x7f96f0855028
           4.43%  0xffffffff8de01087

      perf annotate: Toggle full address &lt;-&gt; offset display

 - Add 'f' hotkey to the 'perf annotate' TUI interface when in
   'disassembler output' mode ('o' hotkey) to toggle showing full
   virtual address or just the offset.

 - Cache DSO build-ids when synthesizing PERF_RECORD_MMAP records for
   pre-existing threads, at the start of a 'perf record' session,
   speeding up that record startup phase.

 - Add a command line option to specify build ids in 'perf inject'.

 - Update JSON event files for the Intel alderlake, broadwell,
   broadwellde, broadwellx, cascadelakex, haswell, haswellx, icelake,
   icelakex, ivybridge, ivytown, jaketown, sandybridge, sapphirerapids,
   skylake, skylakex, and tigerlake processors.

 - Update vendor JSON event files for the ARM Neoverse V1 and E1
   platforms.

 - Add a 'perf test' entry for 'perf mem' where a struct has false
   sharing and this gets detected in the 'perf mem' output, tested with
   Intel, AMD and ARM64 systems.

 - Add a 'perf test' entry to test the resolution of java symbols, where
   an output like this is expected:

       8.18%  jshell    jitted-50116-29.so    [.] Interpreter
       0.75%  Thread-1  jitted-83602-1670.so  [.] jdk.internal.jimage.BasicImageReader.getString(int)

 - Add tests for the ARM64 CoreSight hardware tracing feature, with
   specially crafted pureloop, memcpy, thread loop and unroll tread that
   then gets traced and the output compared with expected output.

   Documentation explaining it is also included.

 - Add per thread Intel PT 'perf test' entry to check that
   PERF_RECORD_TEXT_POKE events are recorded per CPU, resulting in a
   mixture of per thread and per CPU events and mmaps, verify that this
   gets all recorded correctly.

 - Introduce pthread mutex wrappers to allow for building with clang's
   -Wthread-safety, i.e. using the "guarded_by" "pt_guarded_by"
   "lockable", "exclusive_lock_function", "exclusive_trylock_function",
   "exclusive_locks_required", and "no_thread_safety_analysis" compiler
   function attributes.

 - Fix empty version number when building outside of a git repo.

 - Improve feature detection display when multiple versions of a feature
   are present, such as for binutils libbfd, that has a mix of possible
   ways to detect according to the Linux distribution.

   Previously in some cases we had:

      Auto-detecting system features
      &lt;SNIP&gt;
      ...                                  libbfd: [ on  ]
      ...                          libbfd-liberty: [ on  ]
      ...                        libbfd-liberty-z: [ on  ]
      &lt;SNIP&gt;

   Now for this case we show just the main feature:

      Auto-detecting system features
      &lt;SNIP&gt;
      ...                                  libbfd: [ on  ]
      &lt;SNIP&gt;

 - Remove some unused structs, variables, macros, function prototypes
   and includes from various places.

Pull perf tools updates from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

 - Add support for AMD on 'perf mem' and 'perf c2c', the kernel
   enablement patches went via tip.

   Example:

      $ sudo perf mem record -- -c 10000
      ^C[ perf record: Woken up 227 times to write data ]
      [ perf record: Captured and wrote 58.760 MB perf.data (836978 samples) ]

      $ sudo perf mem report -F mem,sample,snoop
      Samples: 836K of event 'ibs_op//', Event count (approx.): 8418762
      Memory access                  Samples  Snoop

      L3 hit                              10  N/A
      Local RAM hit                        2  N/A
      Remote RAM (1 hop) hit            8558  N/A
      Remote Cache (1 hop) hit             3  N/A
      Remote Cache (1 hop) hit             2  HitM
      Remote Cache (2 hops) hit           10  HitM
      Remote Cache (2 hops) hit            6  N/A
      Uncached hit                         4  N/A
      $

 - "perf lock" improvements:

     - Add -E/--entries option to limit the number of entries to
       display, say to ask for just the top 5 contended locks.

     - Add -q/--quiet option to suppress header and debug messages.

     - Add a 'perf test' kernel lock contention entry to test 'perf
       lock'.

 - "perf lock contention" improvements:

     - Ask BPF's bpf_get_stackid() to skip some callchain entries.

       The ones closer to the tooling are bpf related and not that
       interesting, the ones calling the locking function are the ones
       we're interested in, example of a full, unskipped callstack:

     - Allow changing the callstack depth and number of entries to skip.

           1     10.74 us     10.74 us     10.74 us     spinlock   __bpf_trace_contention_begin+0xb

                          0xffffffffbb8409ee  tick_irq_enter+0x9e

     - Show full callstack in verbose mode (-v option), sometimes this
       is desirable instead of showing just one callstack entry.

 - Allow multiple time ranges in 'perf record --delay' to help in
   reducing the amount of data collected from hardware tracing (Intel
   PT, etc) when there is a rough idea of periods of time where events
   of interest take time.

 - Add Intel PT to record only decoder debug messages when error
   happens.

 - Improve layout of Intel PT man page.

 - Add new branch types: alignment, data and inst faults and arch
   specific ones, such as fiq, debug_halt, debug_exit, debug_inst and
   debug_data on arm64.

   Kernel enablement went thru the tip tree.

 - Fix 'perf probe' error log check in 'perf test' when no debuginfo is
   available.

 - Fix 'perf stat' aggregation mode logic, it should be looking at the
   CPU not at the core number.

 - Fix flags parsing in 'perf trace' filters.

 - Introduce compact encoding of CPU range encoding on perf.data, to
   avoid having a bitmap with all the CPUs.

 - Improvements to the 'perf stat' metrics, including adding
   "core_wide", and computing "smt" from the CPU topology.

 - Add support to the new PERF_FORMAT_LOST perf_event_attr.read_format,
   that allows tooling to ask for the precise number of lost samples for
   a given event.

 - Add 'addr' sort key to see just the address of sampled instructions:

      $ perf record -o- true | perf report -i- -s addr
      [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
      [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.000 MB - ]
      # Samples: 12  of event 'cycles:u'
      # Event count (approx.): 252512
      #
      # Overhead  Address
      # ........  ..................

          29.55%  0x7f96f0859b50
          14.76%  0x7f96f0852e02
           8.30%  0x7f96f0855028
           4.43%  0xffffffff8de01087

      perf annotate: Toggle full address &lt;-&gt; offset display

 - Add 'f' hotkey to the 'perf annotate' TUI interface when in
   'disassembler output' mode ('o' hotkey) to toggle showing full
   virtual address or just the offset.

 - Cache DSO build-ids when synthesizing PERF_RECORD_MMAP records for
   pre-existing threads, at the start of a 'perf record' session,
   speeding up that record startup phase.

 - Add a command line option to specify build ids in 'perf inject'.

 - Update JSON event files for the Intel alderlake, broadwell,
   broadwellde, broadwellx, cascadelakex, haswell, haswellx, icelake,
   icelakex, ivybridge, ivytown, jaketown, sandybridge, sapphirerapids,
   skylake, skylakex, and tigerlake processors.

 - Update vendor JSON event files for the ARM Neoverse V1 and E1
   platforms.

Pull bitmap updates from Yury Norov:

 - Fix unsigned comparison to -1 in CPUMAP_FILE_MAX_BYTES (Phil Auld)

 - cleanup nr_cpu_ids vs nr_cpumask_bits mess (me)

   This series cleans that mess and adds new config FORCE_NR_CPUS that
   allows to optimize cpumask subsystem if the number of CPUs is known
   at compile-time.

 - optimize find_bit() functions (me)

   Reworks find_bit() functions based on new FIND_{FIRST,NEXT}_BIT()
   macros.

 - add find_nth_bit() (me)

   Adds find_nth_bit(), which is ~70 times faster than bitcounting with
   for_each() loop:

	for_each_set_bit(bit, mask, size)
		if (n-- == 0)
			return bit;

   Also adds bitmap_weight_and() to let people replace this pattern:

	tmp = bitmap_alloc(nbits);
	bitmap_and(tmp, map1, map2, nbits);
	weight = bitmap_weight(tmp, nbits);
	bitmap_free(tmp);

   with a single bitmap_weight_and() call.

 - repair cpumask_check() (me)

   After switching cpumask to use nr_cpu_ids, cpumask_check() started
   generating many false-positive warnings. This series fixes it.

 - Add for_each_cpu_andnot() and for_each_cpu_andnot() (Valentin
   Schneider)

   Extends the API with one more function and applies it in sched/core.

For system-wide evsels, the thread map should be dummy - i.e. it has a
single entry of -1.  But the code guarantees such a thread map, so no
need to handle it specially.

No functional change intended.
