Subject: perf tests: Decompress kernel module before objdump
From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung(a)kernel.org>
[ Upstream commit 94df1040b1e6aacd8dec0ba3c61d7e77cd695f26 ]
If a kernel modules is compressed, it should be decompressed before
running objdump to parse binary data correctly. This fixes a failure of
object code reading test for me.

Subject: perf report: Ensure the perf DSO mapping matches what libdw sees
From: Milian Wolff <milian.wolff(a)kdab.com>
[ Upstream commit 2538b9e2450ae255337c04356e9e0f8cb9ec48d9 ]
In some situations the libdw unwinder stopped working properly. I.e.
with libunwind we see:
~~~~~
heaptrack_gui 2228 135073.400112: 641314 cycles:
e8ed _dl_fixup (/usr/lib/ld-2.25.so)

608f3 _GLOBAL__sub_I_kdynamicjobtracker.cpp (/home/milian/projects/compiled/kf5/lib64/libKF5KIOWidgets.so.5.35.0)
f199 call_init.part.0 (/usr/lib/ld-2.25.so)
f2a5 _dl_init (/usr/lib/ld-2.25.so)
db9 _dl_start_user (/usr/lib/ld-2.25.so)
~~~~~
But with libdw and without this patch this sample is not properly
unwound:
~~~~~
heaptrack_gui 2228 135073.400112: 641314 cycles:
e8ed _dl_fixup (/usr/lib/ld-2.25.so)
15f06 _dl_runtime_resolve_sse_vex (/usr/lib/ld-2.25.so)
ed94c KDynamicJobTracker::KDynamicJobTracker (/home/milian/projects/compiled/kf5/lib64/libKF5KIOWidgets.so.5.35.0)
~~~~~
Debug output showed me that libdw found a module for the last frame
address, but it thinks it belongs to /usr/lib/ld-2.25.so. This patch
double-checks what libdw sees and what perf knows. If the mappings
mismatch, we now report the elf known to perf. This fixes the situation
above, and the libdw unwinder produces the same stack as libunwind.

Subject: perf header: Set proper module name when build-id event found
From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung(a)kernel.org>
[ Upstream commit 1deec1bd96ccd8beb04d2112a6d12fe20505c3a6 ]
When perf processes build-id event, it creates DSOs with the build-id.
But it didn't set the module short name (like '[module-name]') so when
processing a kernel mmap event of the module, it cannot found the DSO as
it only checks the short names.
That leads for perf to create a same DSO without the build-id info and
it'll lookup the system path even if the DSO is already in the build-id
cache. After kernel was updated, perf cannot find the DSO and cannot
show symbols in it anymore.
You can see this if you have an old data file (w/ old kernel version):
$ perf report -i perf.data.old -v |& grep scsi_mod
build id event received for /lib/modules/3.19.2-1-ARCH/kernel/drivers/scsi/scsi_mod.ko.gz : cafe1ce6ca13a98a5d9ed3425cde249e57a27fc1
Failed to open /lib/modules/3.19.2-1-ARCH/kernel/drivers/scsi/scsi_mod.ko.gz, continuing without symbols
...
The second message didn't show the build-id. With this patch:
$ perf report -i perf.data.old -v |& grep scsi_mod
build id event received for /lib/modules/3.19.2-1-ARCH/kernel/drivers/scsi/scsi_mod.ko.gz: cafe1ce6ca13a98a5d9ed3425cde249e57a27fc1
/lib/modules/3.19.2-1-ARCH/kernel/drivers/scsi/scsi_mod.ko.gz with build id cafe1ce6ca13a98a5d9ed3425cde249e57a27fc1 not found, continuing without symbols
...
Now it shows the build-id but still cannot load the symbol table. This
is a different problem which will be fixed in the next patch.

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz(a)infradead.org>
[ Upstream commit ba5213ae6b88fb170c4771fef6553f759c7d8cdd ]
Andi was asking about PERF_FORMAT_GROUP vs inherited events, which led
to the discovery of a bug from commit:
3dab77fb1bf8 ("perf: Rework/fix the whole read vs group stuff")
- PERF_SAMPLE_GROUP = 1U << 4,
+ PERF_SAMPLE_READ = 1U << 4,
- if (attr->inherit && (attr->sample_type & PERF_SAMPLE_GROUP))
+ if (attr->inherit && (attr->read_format & PERF_FORMAT_GROUP))
is a clear fail :/
While this changes user visible behaviour; it was previously possible
to create an inherited event with PERF_SAMPLE_READ; this is deemed
acceptible because its results were always incorrect.

Subject: perf/callchain: Force USER_DS when invoking perf_callchain_user()
From: Will Deacon <will.deacon(a)arm.com>
[ Upstream commit 88b0193d9418c00340e45e0a913a0813bc6c8c96 ]
Perf can generate and record a user callchain in response to a synchronous
request, such as a tracepoint firing. If this happens under set_fs(KERNEL_DS),
then we can end up walking the user stack (and dereferencing/saving whatever we
find there) without the protections usually afforded by checks such as
access_ok.
Rather than play whack-a-mole with each architecture's stack unwinding
implementation, fix the root of the problem by ensuring that we force USER_DS
when invoking perf_callchain_user from the perf core.

Subject: ovl: persistent inode numbers for upper hardlinks
From: Amir Goldstein <amir73il(a)gmail.com>
[ Upstream commit 5b6c9053fb38a66fd5c6177fcf5022b24767811a ]
An upper type non directory dentry that is a copy up target
should have a reference to its lower copy up origin.
There are three ways for an upper type dentry to be instantiated:
1. A lower type dentry that is being copied up
2. An entry that is found in upper dir by ovl_lookup()
3. A negative dentry is hardlinked to an upper type dentry
In the first case, the lower reference is set before copy up.
In the second case, the lower reference is found by ovl_lookup().
In the last case of hardlinked upper dentry, it is not easy to
update the lower reference of the negative dentry. Instead,
drop the newly hardlinked negative dentry from dcache and let
the next access call ovl_lookup() to find its lower reference.
This makes sure that the inode number reported by stat(2) after
the hardlink is created is the same inode number that will be
reported by stat(2) after mount cycle, which is the inode number
of the lower copy up origin of the hardlink source.
NOTE that this does not fix breaking of lower hardlinks on copy
up, but only fixes the case of lower nlink == 1, whose upper copy
up inode is hardlinked in upper dir.

We need to return an error for any call that asks for MSI / MSI-X
vectors only, so that non-trivial fallback logic can work properly.
Also valid dev->irq and use the "correct" errno value based on feedback
from Linus.

Overlay calls underlying filesystem's method with elevated privs, so need
