[ Upstream commit e62458e3940eb3dfb009481850e140fbee183b04 ]

The new string should have enough space for the original string and the
back slashes IMHO.

[ Upstream commit 39c0a53b114d0317e5c4e76b631f41d133af5cb0 ]

perf_event.h has macros that define the field offsets in the data_src
bitmask in perf records. The SNOOPX and REMOTE offsets were both 37.

These are distinct fields, and the bitfield layout in perf_mem_data_src
confirms that SNOOPX should be at offset 38.

Committer notes:

This was extracted from a larger patch that also contained kernel
changes.

[ Upstream commit fa4505675e093e895b7ec49a76d44f6b5ad9602e ]

When stdout output from the selftests tool 'test_maps' gets redirected
into e.g file or pipe, then the output lines increase a lot (from 21
to 33949 lines).  This is caused by the printf that happens before the
fork() call, and there are user-space buffered printf data that seems
to be duplicated into the forked process.

To fix this fflush() stdout before the fork loop in __run_parallel().

[ Upstream commit 3337bf41e0dd70b4064cdf60acdfcdc2d050066c ]

An extra count on ebb_state.stats.pmc_count[PMC_INDEX(pmc)] is being per-
formed when count_pmc() is used to reset PMCs on a few selftests. This
extra pmc_count can occasionally invalidate results, such as the ones from
cycles_test shown hereafter. The ebb_check_count() failed with an above
the upper limit error due to the extra value on ebb_state.stats.pmc_count.

Furthermore, this extra count is also indicated by extra PMC1 trace_log on
the output of the cycle test (as well as on pmc56_overflow_test):

[ Upstream commit 12d572e785b15bc764e956caaa8a4c846fd15694 ]

Fix the memory leakage in debuginfo__find_trace_events() when the probe
point is not found in the debuginfo. If there is no probe point found in
the debuginfo, debuginfo__find_probes() will NOT return -ENOENT, but 0.

Thus the caller of debuginfo__find_probes() must check the tf.ntevs and
release the allocated memory for the array of struct probe_trace_event.

The current code releases the memory only if the debuginfo__find_probes()
hits an error but not checks tf.ntevs. In the result, the memory allocated
on *tevs are not released if tf.ntevs == 0.

This fixes the memory leakage by checking tf.ntevs == 0 in addition to
ret &lt; 0.

Fixes: ff741783506c ("perf probe: Introduce debuginfo to encapsulate dwarf information")

[ Upstream commit 12d572e785b15bc764e956caaa8a4c846fd15694 ]

Fix the memory leakage in debuginfo__find_trace_events() when the probe
point is not found in the debuginfo. If there is no probe point found in
the debuginfo, debuginfo__find_probes() will NOT return -ENOENT, but 0.

Thus the caller of debuginfo__find_probes() must check the tf.ntevs and
release the allocated memory for the array of struct probe_trace_event.

The current code releases the memory only if the debuginfo__find_probes()
hits an error but not checks tf.ntevs. In the result, the memory allocated
on *tevs are not released if tf.ntevs == 0.

This fixes the memory leakage by checking tf.ntevs == 0 in addition to
ret &lt; 0.

Fixes: ff741783506c ("perf probe: Introduce debuginfo to encapsulate dwarf information")

[ Upstream commit fa5c893181ed2ca2f96552f50073786d2cfce6c0 ]

When using a cross-compilation environment, such as OpenEmbedded,
the CC an CXX variables are set to something more than just a
command: there are arguments (such as --sysroot) that need to be
passed on to the compiler so that the right set of headers and
libraries are used.

For the particular case that our systems detected, CC is set to
the following:

  export CC="aarch64-linaro-linux-gcc  --sysroot=/oe/build/tmp/work/machine/perf/1.0-r9/recipe-sysroot"

Without quotes, detection is as follows:

  ...                         dwarf: [ OFF ]
  ...            dwarf_getlocations: [ OFF ]

<title>perf bench mem: Always memset source before memcpy</title>

[ Upstream commit 1beaef29c34154ccdcb3f1ae557f6883eda18840 ]

For memcpy, the source pages are memset to zero only when --cycles is
used.  This leads to wildly different results with or without --cycles,
since all sources pages are likely to be mapped to the same zero page
without explicit writes.

Before this fix:

$ export cmd="./perf stat -e LLC-loads -- ./perf bench \
  mem memcpy -s 1024MB -l 100 -f default"
$ $cmd

         2,935,826      LLC-loads
       3.821677452 seconds time elapsed

$ $cmd --cycles

       217,533,436      LLC-loads
       8.616725985 seconds time elapsed

After this fix:

$ $cmd

       214,459,686      LLC-loads
       8.674301124 seconds time elapsed

$ $cmd --cycles

       214,758,651      LLC-loads
       8.644480006 seconds time elapsed

<title>tools build feature: Use CC and CXX from parent</title>

[ Upstream commit e3232c2f39acafd5a29128425bc30b9884642cfa ]

commit c8c188679ccf ("tools build: Use the same CC for feature detection
and actual build") changed these assignments from unconditional (:=) to
conditional (?=) so that they wouldn't clobber values from the
environment. However, conditional assignment does not work properly for
variables that Make implicitly sets, among which are CC and CXX. To
quote tools/scripts/Makefile.include, which handles this properly:

  # Makefiles suck: This macro sets a default value of $(2) for the
  # variable named by $(1), unless the variable has been set by
  # environment or command line. This is necessary for CC and AR
  # because make sets default values, so the simpler ?= approach
  # won't work as expected.

In other words, the conditional assignments will not run even if the
variables are not overridden in the environment; Make will set CC to
"cc" and CXX to "g++" when it starts[1], meaning the variables are not
empty by the time the conditional assignments are evaluated. This breaks
cross-compilation when CROSS_COMPILE is set but CC isn't, since "cc"
gets used for feature detection instead of the cross compiler (and
likewise for CXX).

To fix the issue, just pass down the values of CC and CXX computed by
the parent Makefile, which gets included by the Makefile that actually
builds whatever we're detecting features for and so is guaranteed to
have good values. This is a better solution anyway, since it means we
aren't trying to replicate the logic of the parent build system and so
don't risk it getting out of sync.

Leave PKG_CONFIG alone, since 1) there's no common logic to compute it
in Makefile.include, and 2) it's not an implicit variable, so
conditional assignment works properly.
