commit 4a60aa05a0634241ce17f957bf9fb5ac1eed6576 upstream.

Add support for processing switch jump tables in objects with multiple
.rodata sections, such as those created by '-ffunction-sections' and
'-fdata-sections'.  Currently, objtool always looks in .rodata for jump
table information, which results in many "sibling call from callable
instruction with modified stack frame" warnings with objects compiled
using those flags.

The fix is comprised of three parts:

1. Flagging all .rodata sections when importing ELF information for
   easier checking later.

2. Keeping a reference to the section each relocation is from in order
   to get the list_head for the other relocations in that section.

3. Finding jump tables by following relocations to .rodata sections,
   rather than always referencing a single global .rodata section.

The patch has been tested without data sections enabled and no
differences in the resulting orc unwind information were seen.

Note that as objtool adds terminators to end of each .text section the
unwind information generated between a function+data sections build and
a normal build aren't directly comparable. Manual inspection suggests
that objtool is now generating the correct information, or at least
making more of an effort to do so than it did previously.

<title>perf record: Fix s390 missing module symbol and warning for non-root users</title>

[ Upstream commit 6738028dd57df064b969d8392c943ef3b3ae705d ]

Command 'perf record' and 'perf report' on a system without kernel
debuginfo packages uses /proc/kallsyms and /proc/modules to find
addresses for kernel and module symbols. On x86 this works for root and
non-root users.

On s390, when invoked as non-root user, many of the following warnings
are shown and module symbols are missing:

    proc/{kallsyms,modules} inconsistency while looking for
        "[sha1_s390]" module!

Command 'perf record' creates a list of module start addresses by
parsing the output of /proc/modules and creates a PERF_RECORD_MMAP
record for the kernel and each module. The following function call
sequence is executed:

  machine__create_kernel_maps
    machine__create_module
      modules__parse
        machine__create_module --&gt; for each line in /proc/modules
          arch__fix_module_text_start

Function arch__fix_module_text_start() is s390 specific. It opens
file /sys/module/&lt;name&gt;/sections/.text to extract the module's .text
section start address. On s390 the module loader prepends a header
before the first section, whereas on x86 the module's text section
address is identical the the module's load address.

However module section files are root readable only. For non-root the
read operation fails and machine__create_module() returns an error.
Command perf record does not generate any PERF_RECORD_MMAP record
for loaded modules. Later command perf report complains about missing
module maps.

To fix this function arch__fix_module_text_start() always returns
success. For root users there is no change, for non-root users
the module's load address is used as module's text start address
(the prepended header then counts as part of the text section).

This enable non-root users to use module symbols and avoid the
warning when perf report is executed.

Output before:

  [tmricht@m83lp54 perf]$ ./perf report -D | fgrep MMAP
  0 0x168 [0x50]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP ... x [kernel.kallsyms]_text

Output after:

  [tmricht@m83lp54 perf]$ ./perf report -D | fgrep MMAP

[ Upstream commit 97acec7df172cd1e450f81f5e293c0aa145a2797 ]

This strncat() is safe because the buffer was allocated with zalloc(),
however gcc doesn't know that. Since the string always has 4 non-null
bytes, just use memcpy() here.

<content type='text'>
commit 4a2233b194c77ae1ea8304cb7c00b551de4313f0 upstream.

A recent fix for 'perf trace' introduced a bug where
machine__exit(trace-&gt;host) could be called while trace-&gt;host was still
NULL, so make this more robust by guarding against NULL, just like
free() does.

The problem happens, for instance, when !root users try to run 'perf
trace':

  [acme@jouet linux]$ trace
  Error:	No permissions to read /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/raw_syscalls/sys_(enter|exit)

a newline. This adds them to restore real-time status output that humans

<title>objtool: Don't use ignore flag for fake jumps</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit e6da9567959e164f82bc81967e0d5b10dee870b4 ]

The ignore flag is set on fake jumps in order to keep
add_jump_destinations() from setting their jump_dest, since it already
got set when the fake jump was created.

But using the ignore flag is a bit of a hack.  It's normally used to
skip validation of an instruction, which doesn't really make sense for
fake jumps.

Also, after the next patch, using the ignore flag for fake jumps can
trigger a false "why am I validating an ignored function?" warning.

Instead just add an explicit check in add_jump_destinations() to skip
fake jumps.

<id>urn:sha1:a0356372f4fce4439ae297699b3f27a1db505c57</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 32e621e55496a0009f44fe4914cd4a23cade4984 ]

Currently, building bpf samples will cause the following error.

    ./tools/lib/bpf/bpf.h:132:27: error: 'UINT32_MAX' undeclared here (not in a function) ..
     #define BPF_LOG_BUF_SIZE (UINT32_MAX &gt;&gt; 8) /* verifier maximum in kernels &lt;= 5.1 */
                               ^
    ./samples/bpf/bpf_load.h:31:25: note: in expansion of macro 'BPF_LOG_BUF_SIZE'
     extern char bpf_log_buf[BPF_LOG_BUF_SIZE];
                             ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Due to commit 4519efa6f8ea ("libbpf: fix BPF_LOG_BUF_SIZE off-by-one error")
hard-coded size of BPF_LOG_BUF_SIZE has been replaced with UINT32_MAX which is
defined in &lt;stdint.h&gt; header.

Even with this change, bpf selftests are running fine since these are built
with clang and it includes header(-idirafter) from clang/6.0.0/include.
(it has &lt;stdint.h&gt;)

    clang -I. -I./include/uapi -I../../../include/uapi -idirafter /usr/local/include -idirafter /usr/include \
    -idirafter /usr/lib/llvm-6.0/lib/clang/6.0.0/include -idirafter /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu \
    -Wno-compare-distinct-pointer-types -O2 -target bpf -emit-llvm -c progs/test_sysctl_prog.c -o - | \
    llc -march=bpf -mcpu=generic  -filetype=obj -o /linux/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/test_sysctl_prog.o

But bpf samples are compiled with GCC, and it only searches and includes
headers declared at the target file. As '#include &lt;stdint.h&gt;' hasn't been
declared in tools/lib/bpf/bpf.h, it causes build failure of bpf samples.

    gcc -Wp,-MD,./samples/bpf/.sockex3_user.o.d -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wstrict-prototypes \
    -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -std=gnu89 -I./usr/include -I./tools/lib/ -I./tools/testing/selftests/bpf/ \
    -I./tools/  lib/ -I./tools/include -I./tools/perf -c -o ./samples/bpf/sockex3_user.o ./samples/bpf/sockex3_user.c;

This commit add declaration of '#include &lt;stdint.h&gt;' to tools/lib/bpf/bpf.h
to fix this problem.

While cross building perf to the ARC architecture on a fedora 30 host,
we were failing with:

      CC       /tmp/build/perf/bench/numa.o
  bench/numa.c: In function ‘worker_thread’:

Trying to reproduce a report by Vineet, I noticed that, with just
cross-built zlib and numactl libraries, I ended up with the above
failure.

So, since RUSAGE_THREAD is available as a define, check for that and
numactl libraries, I ended up with the above failure.

So, since RUSAGE_THREAD is available as a define in the system headers,
check if it is defined in the 'perf bench numa' sources and define it if
not.

Now it builds and I have to figure out if the problem reported by Vineet
