commit a060c1f12b525ba828f871eff3127dabf8daa1e6 upstream.

The help info of option "--no-bpf-event" is wrongly described as "record
bpf events", correct it.

Committer testing:

  $ perf record -h bpf

   Usage: perf record [&lt;options&gt;] [&lt;command&gt;]
      or: perf record [&lt;options&gt;] -- &lt;command&gt; [&lt;options&gt;]

                            options passed to clang when compiling BPF scriptlets
          --clang-path &lt;clang path&gt;
                            clang binary to use for compiling BPF scriptlets
          --no-bpf-event    do not record bpf events

[ 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().

h1 is initially configured to reach h2 via r1 rather than the
more direct path through r2. If rp_filter is set and inherited
for r2, forwarding fails since the source address of h1 is
reachable from eth0 vs the packet coming to it via r1 and eth1.
Since rp_filter setting affects the test, explicitly reset it.

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.

<title>kbuild: support LLVM=1 to switch the default tools to Clang/LLVM</title>

<content type='text'>
commit a0d1c951ef08ed24f35129267e3595d86f57f5d3 upstream.

As Documentation/kbuild/llvm.rst implies, building the kernel with a
full set of LLVM tools gets very verbose and unwieldy.

Provide a single switch LLVM=1 to use Clang and LLVM tools instead
of GCC and Binutils. You can pass it from the command line or as an
environment variable.

Please note LLVM=1 does not turn on the integrated assembler. You need
to pass LLVM_IAS=1 to use it. When the upstream kernel is ready for the
integrated assembler, I think we can make it default.

We discussed what we need, and we agreed to go with a simple boolean
flag that switches both target and host tools:

  https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/3/28/494
  https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/4/3/43

Some items discussed, but not adopted:

- LLVM_DIR

  When multiple versions of LLVM are installed, I just thought supporting
  LLVM_DIR=/path/to/my/llvm/bin/ might be useful.

  CC      = $(LLVM_DIR)clang
  LD      = $(LLVM_DIR)ld.lld
    ...

  However, we can handle this by modifying PATH. So, we decided to not do
  this.

- LLVM_SUFFIX

  Some distributions (e.g. Debian) package specific versions of LLVM with
  naming conventions that use the version as a suffix.

  CC      = clang$(LLVM_SUFFIX)
  LD      = ld.lld(LLVM_SUFFIX)
    ...

  will allow a user to pass LLVM_SUFFIX=-11 to use clang-11 etc.,
  but the suffixed versions in /usr/bin/ are symlinks to binaries in
  /usr/lib/llvm-#/bin/, so this can also be handled by PATH.
