[ Upstream commit abec464767b5d26f0612250d511c18f420826ca1 ]

sample__fprintf_callchain() was using map__fprintf_srcline() which won't
report inline line numbers.

Fix by using the srcline from the callchain and falling back to the map
variant.

It's counted twice as it's increased after calling maps__insert().  I
guess we want to increase it only after it's added properly.

<title>perf record: skip synthesize event when open evsel failed</title>

[ Upstream commit 163e5f2b96632b7fb2eaa965562aca0dbdf9f996 ]

When using perf record with the `--overwrite` option, a segmentation fault
occurs if an event fails to open. For example:

  perf record -e cycles-ct -F 1000 -a --overwrite
  Error:
  cycles-ct:H: PMU Hardware doesn't support sampling/overflow-interrupts. Try 'perf stat'
  perf: Segmentation fault
      #0 0x6466b6 in dump_stack debug.c:366
      #1 0x646729 in sighandler_dump_stack debug.c:378
      #2 0x453fd1 in sigsegv_handler builtin-record.c:722
      #3 0x7f8454e65090 in __restore_rt libc-2.32.so[54090]
      #4 0x6c5671 in __perf_event__synthesize_id_index synthetic-events.c:1862
      #5 0x6c5ac0 in perf_event__synthesize_id_index synthetic-events.c:1943
      #6 0x458090 in record__synthesize builtin-record.c:2075
      #7 0x45a85a in __cmd_record builtin-record.c:2888
      #8 0x45deb6 in cmd_record builtin-record.c:4374
      #9 0x4e5e33 in run_builtin perf.c:349
      #10 0x4e60bf in handle_internal_command perf.c:401
      #11 0x4e6215 in run_argv perf.c:448
      #12 0x4e653a in main perf.c:555
      #13 0x7f8454e4fa72 in __libc_start_main libc-2.32.so[3ea72]
      #14 0x43a3ee in _start ??:0

The --overwrite option implies --tail-synthesize, which collects non-sample
events reflecting the system status when recording finishes. However, when
evsel opening fails (e.g., unsupported event 'cycles-ct'), session-&gt;evlist
is not initialized and remains NULL. The code unconditionally calls
record__synthesize() in the error path, which iterates through the NULL
evlist pointer and causes a segfault.

To fix it, move the record__synthesize() call inside the error check block, so
it's only called when there was no error during recording, ensuring that evlist
is properly initialized.

<title>perf session: Fix handling when buffer exceeds 2 GiB</title>

[ Upstream commit c17dda8013495d8132c976cbf349be9949d0fbd1 ]

If a user specifies an AUX buffer larger than 2 GiB, the returned size
may exceed 0x80000000. Since the err variable is defined as a signed
32-bit integer, such a value overflows and becomes negative.

As a result, the perf record command reports an error:

  0x146e8 [0x30]: failed to process type: 71 [Unknown error 183711232]

Change the type of the err variable to a signed 64-bit integer to
accommodate large buffer sizes correctly.

NA (Not Available).

[ Upstream commit 50b8f1d5bf4ad7f09ef8012ccf5f94f741df827b ]

The Neoverse CPUs follow the common data source encoding, and other
CPU variants can share the same format.

Rename the CPU list and data source definitions as common data source
names. This change prepares for appending more CPU variants.

Extend the decoder of Arm SPE records to support more fields from the
operation packet type.

Not all fields are being decoded by this commit. Only those needed to
support the use-case SVE load/store/other operations.

[ Upstream commit 43fa1141e2c1af79c91aaa4df03e436c415a6fc3 ]

The lzma_is_compressed and gzip_is_compressed functions are declared
to return a "bool" type, but in case of an error (e.g., file open
failure), they incorrectly returned -1.

A bool type is a boolean value that is either true or false.
Returning -1 for a bool return type can lead to unexpected behavior
and may violate strict type-checking in some compilers.

Fix the return value to be false in error cases, ensuring the function
adheres to its declared return type improves for preventing potential
bugs related to type mismatch.
