In verbose level 2, errors returned by libdw are reported in most cases,
but not when calling dwfl_attach_state.
Since elfutils v 0.160 (2014), dwfl_attach_state sets the error code to
report failure cause. On failure, log the reported error.

Starting with recent GCC 8 builds, objtool and perf fail to build with
the following error:
../str_error_r.c: In function ‘str_error_r’:
../str_error_r.c:25:3: error: passing argument 1 to restrict-qualified parameter aliases with argument 5 [-Werror=restrict]
snprintf(buf, buflen, "INTERNAL ERROR: strerror_r(%d, %p, %zd)=%d", errnum, buf, buflen, err);
The code seems harmless, but there's probably no benefit in printing the
'buf' pointer in this situation anyway, so just remove it to make GCC
happy.

Current 'perf probe' converts the type of array-elements incorrectly. It
always converts the types as a pointer of array. This passes the "array"
type DIE to the type converter so that it can get correct "element of
array" type DIE from it.
E.g.
====
$ cat hello.c
#include <stdio.h>
void foo(int a[])
{
printf("%d\n", a[1]);
}
void main()
{
int a[3] = {4, 5, 6};
printf("%d\n", a[0]);
foo(a);
}
$ gcc -g hello.c -o hello
$ perf probe -x ./hello -D "foo a[1]"
====
Without this fix, above outputs
====
p:probe_hello/foo /tmp/hello:0x4d3 a=+4(-8(%bp)):u64
====
The "u64" means "int *", but a[1] is "int".
With this,
====
p:probe_hello/foo /tmp/hello:0x4d3 a=+4(-8(%bp)):s32
====
So, "int" correctly converted to "s32"

There is a bug where when using 'perf annotate timerqueue_add' the
target for its only routine called with the 'callq' instruction,
'rb_insert_color', doesn't get resolved from its address when parsing
that 'callq' instruction.
That symbol resolution works when using 'perf report --tui' and then
doing annotation for 'timerqueue_add' from there, the vmlinux
dso->symbols rb_tree somehow gets in a state that we can't find that
address, that is a bug that has to be further investigated.
But since the objdump output has the function name, i.e. the raw objdump
disassembled line looks like:
So, before:
# perf annotate timerqueue_add
│ mov %rbx,%rdi
│ mov %rbx,(%rdx)
│ → callq *ffffffff8184dc80
│ mov 0x8(%rbp),%rdx
│ test %rdx,%rdx
│ ↓ je 67
# perf report
│ mov %rbx,%rdi
│ mov %rbx,(%rdx)
│ → callq rb_insert_color
│ mov 0x8(%rbp),%rdx
│ test %rdx,%rdx
│ ↓ je 67
And after both look the same:
# perf annotate timerqueue_add
│ mov %rbx,%rdi
│ mov %rbx,(%rdx)
│ → callq rb_insert_color
│ mov 0x8(%rbp),%rdx
│ test %rdx,%rdx
│ ↓ je 67
From 'perf report' one can annotate and navigate to that 'rb_insert_color'
function, but not directly from 'perf annotate timerqueue_add', that
remains to be investigated and fixed.

The gcc 8 compiler won't compile the python extension code with the
following errors (one example):
python.c:830:15: error: cast between incompatible function types from \
‘PyObject * (*)(struct pyrf_evsel *, PyObject *, PyObject *)’ \
uct _object * (*)(struct pyrf_evsel *, struct _object *, struct _object *)’} to \
‘PyObject * (*)(PyObject *, PyObject *)’ {aka ‘struct _object * (*)(struct _objeuct \
_object *)’} [-Werror=cast-function-type]
.ml_meth = (PyCFunction)pyrf_evsel__open,
The problem with the PyMethodDef::ml_meth callback is that its type is
determined based on the PyMethodDef::ml_flags value, which we set as
METH_VARARGS | METH_KEYWORDS.
That indicates that the callback is expecting an extra PyObject* arg, and is
actually PyCFunctionWithKeywords type, but the base PyMethodDef::ml_meth type
stays PyCFunction.
Previous gccs did not find this, gcc8 now does. Fixing this by silencing this
warning for python.c build.
Commiter notes:
Do not do that for CC=clang, as it breaks the build in some clang
versions, like the ones in fedora up to fedora27:
fedora:25:error: unknown warning option '-Wno-cast-function-type'; did you mean '-Wno-bad-function-cast'? [-Werror,-Wunknown-warning-option]
fedora:26:error: unknown warning option '-Wno-cast-function-type'; did you mean '-Wno-bad-function-cast'? [-Werror,-Wunknown-warning-option]
fedora:27:error: unknown warning option '-Wno-cast-function-type'; did you mean '-Wno-bad-function-cast'? [-Werror,-Wunknown-warning-option]

With gcc 8 we get new set of snprintf() warnings that breaks the
compilation, one example:
tests/mem.c: In function ‘check’:
tests/mem.c:19:48: error: ‘%s’ directive output may be truncated writing \
up to 99 bytes into a region of size 89 [-Werror=format-truncation=]
snprintf(failure, sizeof failure, "unexpected %s", out);
The gcc docs says:
To avoid the warning either use a bigger buffer or handle the
function's return value which indicates whether or not its output
has been truncated.
Given that all these warnings are harmless, because the code either
properly fails due to uncomplete file path or we don't care for
truncated output at all, I'm changing all those snprintf() calls to
scnprintf(), which actually 'checks' for the snprint return value so the
gcc stays silent.

This indicates that we need to handle the no context case in
flush_cache_range() as we do in flush_cache_mm().
In thinking about this, I realized that we don't need to flush the TLB
when there is no context. So, I added context checks to the large flush
cases in flush_cache_mm() and flush_cache_range(). The large flush case
occurs frequently in flush_cache_mm() and the change should improve fork
performance.
The v2 version of this change removes the BUG_ON from flush_cache_page()
by skipping the TLB flush when there is no context. I also added code
to flush the TLB in flush_cache_mm() and flush_cache_range() when we
have a context that's not current. Now all three routines handle TLB
flushes in a similar manner.

Emanuel reported an issue with a hang during microcode update because my
dumb idea to use one atomic synchronization variable for both rendezvous
- before and after update - was simply bollocks:
microcode: microcode_reload_late: late_cpus: 4
microcode: __reload_late: cpu 2 entered
microcode: __reload_late: cpu 1 entered
microcode: __reload_late: cpu 3 entered
microcode: __reload_late: cpu 0 entered
microcode: __reload_late: cpu 1 left
microcode: Timeout while waiting for CPUs rendezvous, remaining: 1
CPU1 above would finish, leave and the others will still spin waiting for
it to join.
So do two synchronization atomics instead, which makes the code a lot more
straightforward.
Also, since the update is serialized and it also takes quite some time per
microcode engine, increase the exit timeout by the number of CPUs on the
system.
That's ok because the moment all CPUs are done, that timeout will be cut
short.
Furthermore, panic when some of the CPUs timeout when returning from a
microcode update: we can't allow a system with not all cores updated.
Also, as an optimization, do not do the exit sync if microcode wasn't
updated.

When recently using 'perf report --stat' it was not clear to me from the
output whether a particular statistics field (LOST_SAMPLES) was not
present, or just zero:
fomalhaut:~> perf report --stat
Aggregated stats:
TOTAL events: 495984
MMAP events: 85
COMM events: 3389
EXIT events: 1605
THROTTLE events: 2
UNTHROTTLE events: 2
FORK events: 3377
SAMPLE events: 472629
MMAP2 events: 14753
FINISHED_ROUND events: 139
THREAD_MAP events: 1
CPU_MAP events: 1
TIME_CONV events: 1
I had to check the output several times to ascertain that I'm not
misreading the output, that the field didn't change and that I didn't
misremember the name. In fact I had to look into the perf source to make
sure that zero fields are indeed not shown.
With the patch applied:
fomalhaut:~> perf report --stat
Aggregated stats:
TOTAL events: 495984
MMAP events: 85
LOST events: 0
COMM events: 3389
EXIT events: 1605
THROTTLE events: 2
UNTHROTTLE events: 2
FORK events: 3377
READ events: 0
SAMPLE events: 472629
MMAP2 events: 14753
AUX events: 0
ITRACE_START events: 0
LOST_SAMPLES events: 0
SWITCH events: 0
SWITCH_CPU_WIDE events: 0
NAMESPACES events: 0
ATTR events: 0
EVENT_TYPE events: 0
TRACING_DATA events: 0
BUILD_ID events: 0
FINISHED_ROUND events: 139
ID_INDEX events: 0
AUXTRACE_INFO events: 0
AUXTRACE events: 0
AUXTRACE_ERROR events: 0
THREAD_MAP events: 1
CPU_MAP events: 1
STAT_CONFIG events: 0
STAT events: 0
STAT_ROUND events: 0
EVENT_UPDATE events: 0
TIME_CONV events: 1
FEATURE events: 0
It's pretty clear at a glance that LOST_SAMPLES is present but zero.
The original output can still be gotten via:
fomalhaut:~> perf report --stat | grep -vw 0
Aggregated stats:
TOTAL events: 495984
MMAP events: 85
COMM events: 3389
EXIT events: 1605
THROTTLE events: 2
UNTHROTTLE events: 2
FORK events: 3377
SAMPLE events: 472629
MMAP2 events: 14753
FINISHED_ROUND events: 139
THREAD_MAP events: 1
CPU_MAP events: 1
TIME_CONV events: 1
So I don't think there's any real loss in functionality.

Executing command 'perf stat -T -- ls' dumps core on x86 and s390.
Here is the call back chain (done on x86):

It turns out that a NULL pointer is referenced. Here are the
function calls:
...
cmd_stat()
+---> add_default_attributes()
+---> parse_events(evsel_list, transaction_attrs, NULL);
3rd parameter set to NULL
Function parse_events(xx, xx, struct parse_events_error *err) dives
into a bison generated scanner and creates
parser state information for it first:
struct parse_events_state parse_state = {
.list = LIST_HEAD_INIT(parse_state.list),
.idx = evlist->nr_entries,
.error = err, <--- NULL POINTER !!!
.evlist = evlist,
};
Now various functions inside the bison scanner are called to end up in
__parse_events_add_pmu(struct parse_events_state *parse_state, ..) with
first parameter being a pointer to above structure definition.
Now the PMU event name is not found (because being executed in a VM) and
this function tries to create an error message with
asprintf(&parse_state->error.str, ....)
which references a NULL pointer and dumps core.
Fix this by providing a pointer to the necessary error information
instead of NULL. Technically only the else part is needed to avoid the
core dump, just lets be safe...
