commit 1c24956542 upstream.
This problem was encountered on an arm64 system with a lot of memory.
Without kernel debug symbols installed, and with both kcore and kallsyms
available, perf managed to get confused and returned "unknown" for all
of the kernel symbols that it tried to look up.
On this system, stext fell within the vmalloc segment. The kcore symbol
matching code tries to find the first segment that contains stext and
uses that to replace the segment generated from just the kallsyms
information. In this case, however, there were two: a very large
vmalloc segment, and the text segment. This caused perf to get confused
because multiple overlapping segments were inserted into the RB tree
that holds the discovered segments. However, that alone wasn't
sufficient to cause the problem. Even when we could find the segment,
the offsets were adjusted in such a way that the newly generated symbols
didn't line up with the instruction addresses in the trace. The most
obvious solution would be to consult which segment type is text from
kcore, but this information is not exposed to users.
Instead, select the smallest matching segment that contains stext
instead of the first matching segment. This allows us to match the text
segment instead of vmalloc, if one is contained within the other.

[ Upstream commit ecc68ee216 ]
It seems that perf stat -b <prog id> doesn't produce any results:
$ perf stat -e cycles -b 4 -I 10000 -vvv
Control descriptor is not initialized
cycles: 0 0 0
time counts unit events
10.007641640 <not supported> cycles
Looks like this happens because fentry/fexit progs are getting loaded, but the
corresponding perf event is not enabled and not added into the events bpf map.
I think there is some mixing up between two type of bpf support, one for bperf
and one for bpf_profiler. Both are identified via evsel__is_bpf, based on which
perf events are enabled, but for the latter (bpf_profiler) a perf event is
required. Using evsel__is_bperf to check only bperf produces expected results:
$ perf stat -e cycles -b 4 -I 10000 -vvv

[ Upstream commit 25f69c69bc ]
When creating counters with initial delay configured, the enable_on_exec
field is not set. So we need to enable the counters later. The problem
is, when a workload is specified the target__none() is true. So we also
need to check stat_config.initial_delay.
In this change, we add a new field 'initial_delay' for struct target
which could be shared by other subcommands. And define
target__enable_on_exec() which returns whether enable_on_exec should be
set on normal cases.
Before this fix the event is not counted:
$ ./perf stat -e instructions -D 100 sleep 2
Events disabled
Events enabled

perf doesn't provide proper symbol information for specially crafted
.debug files.
Sometimes .debug file may not have similar program header as runtime
ELF file. For example if we generate .debug file using objcopy
--only-keep-debug resulting file will not contain .text, .data and
other runtime sections. That means corresponding program headers will
have zero FileSiz and modified Offset.
Example: program header of text section of libxxx.so:
Type Offset VirtAddr PhysAddr
FileSiz MemSiz Flags Align
LOAD 0x00000000003d3000 0x00000000003d3000 0x00000000003d3000
0x000000000055ae80 0x000000000055ae80 R E 0x1000
Same program header after executing:
objcopy --only-keep-debug libxxx.so libxxx.so.debug
LOAD 0x0000000000001000 0x00000000003d3000 0x00000000003d3000
0x0000000000000000 0x000000000055ae80 R E 0x1000
Offset and FileSiz have been changed.
Following formula will not provide correct value, if program header
taken from .debug file (syms_ss):
sym.st_value -= phdr.p_vaddr - phdr.p_offset;
Correct program header information is located inside runtime ELF
file (runtime_ss).

But the change added both -b (--branch-any) and --branch-filter options
at the same time, which will always result in a failure on any platform
because the arguments can't be used together.
Fix this by removing -b (--branch-any) and leaving --branch-filter which
already specifies 'any'. Also add warning messages to the test and perf
tool.

The above command line uses field separator as "," via "-x," option and
per-socket option displays socket value as first field. But here the

Sample output using interval mode:

====> 0.001813453,,S0,1,,,,,,,1.34,stalled cycles per insn
Above result also has an extra CSV separator after
the timestamp. Patch addresses extra field separator
in the beginning of the metric output line.
The counter stats are displayed by function
"perf_stat__print_shadow_stats" in code
"util/stat-shadow.c". While printing the stats info
for "stalled cycles per insn", function "new_line_csv"
is used as new_line callback.
The new_line_csv function has check for "os->prefix"
and if prefix is not null, it will be printed along
with cvs separator.
Snippet from "new_line_csv":
if (os->prefix)
fprintf(os->fh, "%s%s", os->prefix, config->csv_sep);
Here os->prefix gets printed followed by ","
which is the cvs separator. The os->prefix is
used in interval mode option ( -I ), to print
time stamp on every new line. But prefix is
already set to contain CSV separator when used
in interval mode for CSV option.
Reference: Function "static void print_interval"
Snippet:
sprintf(prefix, "%6lu.%09lu%s", ts->tv_sec, ts->tv_nsec, config->csv_sep);
Also if prefix is not assigned (if not used with
-I option), it gets set to empty string.
Reference: function printout() in util/stat-display.c
Snippet:
.prefix = prefix ? prefix : "",
Since prefix already set to contain cvs_sep in interval
option, patch removes printing config->csv_sep in
new_line_csv function to avoid printing extra field.
After the patch:

line when checking if the kernel original files drifted from the copies
we carry.
This is to get the changes from:
ccace936ee ("x86: Add types to indirectly called assembly functions")
Addressing these tools/perf build warnings:
Warning: Kernel ABI header at 'tools/arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S' differs from latest version at 'arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S'

During the transition to libbpf 1.0 some functions that perf used were
deprecated and finally removed from libbpf, so bpf_program__set_insns()
was introduced for perf to continue to use its bpf loader.
But when build with LIBBPF_DYNAMIC=1 we now need to check if that
function is available so that perf can build with older libbpf versions,
even if the end result is emitting a warning to the user that the use
of the perf BPF loader requires a newer libbpf, since bpf_program__set_insns()
touches libbpf objects internal state.
This affects only 'perf trace' when using bpf C code or pre-compiled
bytecode as an event.
Noticed on RHEL9, that has libbpf 0.7.0, where bpf_program__set_insns()
isn't available.

The bpf_load_program() prototype appeared in tools/lib/bpf/bpf.h as
deprecated, but nowadays its completely removed, so add it back for
building with the system libbpf when using 'make LIBBPF_DYNAMIC=1'.
This is a stop gap hack till we do like tools/bpf does with bpftool,
i.e. bootstrap the libbpf build and install it in the perf build
directory when not using 'make LIBBPF_DYNAMIC=1'.
That has to be done to all libraries in tools/lib/, so tha we can
remove -Itools/lib/ from the tools/perf CFLAGS.
Noticed when building with LIBBPF_DYNAMIC=1 and libbpf 0.7.0 on RHEL9.

If the kernel exposes a new perf_event_attr field in a format attr, perf
will return an error stating the specified PMU can't be found. For
example, a format attr with 'config3:0-63' causes an error as config3 is
unknown to perf. This causes a compatibility issue between a newer
kernel with older perf tool.
Before this change with a kernel adding 'config3' I get:
$ perf record -e arm_spe// -- true
event syntax error: 'arm_spe//'
\___ Cannot find PMU `arm_spe'. Missing kernel support?
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events
Usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>]
or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]
-e, --event <event> event selector. use 'perf list' to list
available events
After this change, I get:
$ perf record -e arm_spe// -- true
WARNING: 'arm_spe_0' format 'inv_event_filter' requires 'perf_event_attr::config3' which is not supported by this version of perf!
[ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.091 MB perf.data ]
To support unknown configN formats, rework the YACC implementation to
pass any config[0-9]+ format to perf_pmu__new_format() to handle with a
warning.

- "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.

- 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 - ]

perf annotate: Toggle full address <-> 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
<SNIP>
... libbfd: [ on ]
... libbfd-liberty: [ on ]
... libbfd-liberty-z: [ on ]
<SNIP>
Now for this case we show just the main feature:
Auto-detecting system features
<SNIP>
... libbfd: [ on ]
<SNIP>
- Remove some unused structs, variables, macros, function prototypes
and includes from various places.
