Pull perf fixes from Ingo Molnar:
 "I'd like to apologize for this very late pull request: I was dithering
  through the week whether to send the fixes, and then yesterday Jiri's
  crash fix for a regression introduced in this cycle clearly marked
  perf/urgent as 'must merge now'.

  Most of the commits are tooling fixes, plus there's three kernel fixes
  via four commits:

    - race fix in the Intel PEBS code

    - fix an AUX bug and roll back a previous attempt

    - fix AMD family 17h generic HW cache-event perf counters

  The largest diffstat contribution comes from the AMD fix - a new event
  table is introduced, which is a fairly low risk change but has a large
  linecount"

We were including sys/syscall.h and asm/unistd.h, since sys/syscall.h
includes asm/unistd.h, sometimes this leads to the redefinition of
defines, breaking the build.

Noticed on ARC with uCLibc.

Since those were introduced in:

  c8ce48f06503 ("asm-generic: Make time32 syscall numbers optional")

But when the asm-generic/unistd.h was sync'ed with tools/ in:

  1a787fc5ba18 ("tools headers uapi: Sync copy of asm-generic/unistd.h with the kernel sources")

I forgot to copy the files for the architectures that define
__ARCH_WANT_TIME32_SYSCALLS, so the perf build was breaking there, as
reported by Vineet Gupta for the ARC architecture.

After updating my ARC container to use the glibc based toolchain + cross
building libnuma, zlib and elfutils, I finally managed to reproduce the
problem and verify that this now is fixed and will not regress as will
be tested before each pull req sent upstream.

Thomas Backlund reported that the perf build was failing on the Mageia 7
distro, that is because it uses:

  cat /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-disassembler-four-args.make.output
  /usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib64/libbfd.a(plugin.o): in function `try_load_plugin':

  as we allow dynamic linking and loading

Mageia 7 uses these linker flags:
  $ rpm --eval %ldflags
    -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,--no-undefined -Wl,-z,relro -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--build-id -Wl,--enable-new-dtags

So add -ldl to this feature LDFLAGS.

<title>perf cs-etm: Always allocate memory for cs_etm_queue::prev_packet</title>

Robert Walker reported a segmentation fault is observed when process
CoreSight trace data; this issue can be easily reproduced by the command
'perf report --itrace=i1000i' for decoding tracing data.

If neither the 'b' flag (synthesize branches events) nor 'l' flag
(synthesize last branch entries) are specified to option '--itrace',
cs_etm_queue::prev_packet will not been initialised.  After merging the
code to support exception packets and sample flags, there introduced a
number of uses of cs_etm_queue::prev_packet without checking whether it
is valid, for these cases any accessing to uninitialised prev_packet
will cause crash.

As cs_etm_queue::prev_packet is used more widely now and it's already
hard to follow which functions have been called in a context where the
validity of cs_etm_queue::prev_packet has been checked, this patch
always allocates memory for cs_etm_queue::prev_packet.

Since cs_etm_queue::prev_packet is allocated for all cases, it will
never be NULL pointer; now validity checking prev_packet is pointless,
remove all of them.

<title>perf report: Report OOM in status line in the GTK UI</title>

An -ENOMEM error is not reported in the GTK GUI.  Instead this error
message pops up on the screen:

[root@m35lp76 perf]# ./perf  report -i perf.data.error68-1

	Processing events... [974K/3M]
	Error:failed to process sample

	0xf4198 [0x8]: failed to process type: 68

However when I use the same perf.data file with --stdio it works:

[root@m35lp76 perf]# ./perf  report -i perf.data.error68-1 --stdio \
		| head -12

  # Total Lost Samples: 0
  #
  # Samples: 76K of event 'cycles'
  # Event count (approx.): 99056160000
  #
  # Overhead  Command          Shared Object      Symbol

     2.19%  kworker/u512:1-  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] ftrace_likely_update

The sample precentage is a bit low.....

The GUI always fails in the FINISHED_ROUND event (68) and does not
indicate the reason why.

When happened is the following. Perf report calls a lot of functions and
down deep when a FINISHED_ROUND event is processed, these functions are
called:

  perf_session__process_event()
  + perf_session__process_user_event()
    + process_finished_round()
      + ordered_events__flush()
        + __ordered_events__flush()
	  + do_flush()
	    + ordered_events__deliver_event()
	      + perf_session__deliver_event()
	        + machine__deliver_event()
	          + perf_evlist__deliver_event()
	            + process_sample_event()
	              + hist_entry_iter_add() --&gt; only called in GUI case!!!
	                + hist_iter__report__callback()
	                  + symbol__inc_addr_sample()

	                    Now this functions runs out of memory and
			    returns -ENOMEM. This is reported all the way up
			    until function

perf_session__process_event() returns to its caller, where -ENOMEM is
changed to -EINVAL and processing stops:

 if ((skip = perf_session__process_event(session, event, head)) &lt; 0) {
      pr_err("%#" PRIx64 " [%#x]: failed to process type: %d\n",
	     head, event-&gt;header.size, event-&gt;header.type);
      err = -EINVAL;
      goto out_err;
 }

This occurred in the FINISHED_ROUND event when it has to process some
10000 entries and ran out of memory.

This patch indicates the root cause and displays it in the status line
of ther perf report GUI.

Output before (on GUI status line):

  0xf4198 [0x8]: failed to process type: 68

Output after:

  0xf4198 [0x8]: failed to process type: 68 [not enough memory]

Committer notes:

the 'skip' variable needs to be initialized to -EINVAL, so that when the
size is less than sizeof(struct perf_event_attr) we avoid this valid
compiler warning:

  util/session.c: In function ‘perf_session__process_events’:
  util/session.c:1936:7: error: ‘skip’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]

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’:
  bench/numa.c:1261:12: error: ‘RUSAGE_THREAD’ undeclared (first use in this function); did you mean ‘SIGEV_THREAD’?

              SIGEV_THREAD

arc-linux-gcc (ARCv2 ISA Linux uClibc toolchain 2019.03-rc1) 8.3.1 20190225
[perfbuilder@60d5802468f6 perf]$

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
only takes place if we have libelf or some other library available.

The traceevent lib is used by the perf tool, and when executing

  perf test -v 6

it outputs error log on the ARM64 platform:

  running test 33 '*:*'trace-cmd: No such file or directory

  [...]

  trace-cmd: Invalid argument

The trace event parsing code originally came from trace-cmd so it keeps
the tag string "trace-cmd" for errors, this easily introduces the
impression that the perf tool launches trace-cmd command for trace event
parsing, but in fact the related parsing is accomplished by the
traceevent lib.

This patch changes the tag string to "libtraceevent" so that we can
avoid confusion and let users to more easily connect the error with
traceevent lib.
