commit caa470475d9b59eeff093ae650800d34612c4379 upstream.

The original patch introducing this header wrote the number of CPUs available
and online in one order and then swapped those values when reading, fix it.

Before:

  # perf record usleep 1
  # perf report --header-only | grep 'nrcpus \(online\|avail\)'
  # nrcpus online : 4
  # nrcpus avail : 4
  # echo 0 &gt; /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu2/online
  # perf record usleep 1
  # perf report --header-only | grep 'nrcpus \(online\|avail\)'
  # nrcpus online : 4
  # nrcpus avail : 3
  # echo 0 &gt; /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
  # perf record usleep 1
  # perf report --header-only | grep 'nrcpus \(online\|avail\)'
  # nrcpus online : 4
  # nrcpus avail : 2

After the fix, bringing back the CPUs online:

  # perf report --header-only | grep 'nrcpus \(online\|avail\)'
  # nrcpus online : 2
  # nrcpus avail : 4
  # echo 1 &gt; /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu2/online
  # perf record usleep 1
  # perf report --header-only | grep 'nrcpus \(online\|avail\)'
  # nrcpus online : 3
  # nrcpus avail : 4
  # echo 1 &gt; /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
  # perf record usleep 1
  # perf report --header-only | grep 'nrcpus \(online\|avail\)'
  # nrcpus online : 4
  # nrcpus avail : 4

<title>perf stat: Get correct cpu id for print_aggr</title>

commit 601083cffb7cabdcc55b8195d732f0f7028570fa upstream.

print_aggr() fails to print per-core/per-socket statistics after commit
582ec0829b3d ("perf stat: Fix per-socket output bug for uncore events")
if events have differnt cpus. Because in print_aggr(), aggr_get_id needs
index (not cpu id) to find core/pkg id. Also, evsel cpu maps should be
used to get aggregated id.

Here is an example:

Counting events cycles,uncore_imc_0/cas_count_read/. (Uncore event has
cpumask 0,18)

  $ perf stat -e cycles,uncore_imc_0/cas_count_read/ -C0,18 --per-core sleep 2

Without this patch, it failes to get CPU 18 result.

   Performance counter stats for 'CPU(s) 0,18':

  S0-C0           1            7526851      cycles
  S0-C0           1               1.05 MiB  uncore_imc_0/cas_count_read/
  S1-C0           0      &lt;not counted&gt;      cycles
  S1-C0           0      &lt;not counted&gt; MiB  uncore_imc_0/cas_count_read/

With this patch, it can get both CPU0 and CPU18 result.

   Performance counter stats for 'CPU(s) 0,18':

  S0-C0           1            6327768      cycles
  S0-C0           1               0.47 MiB  uncore_imc_0/cas_count_read/
  S1-C0           1             330228      cycles
  S1-C0           1               0.29 MiB  uncore_imc_0/cas_count_read/

<title>perf hists: Update the column width for the "srcline" sort key</title>

commit e8e6d37e73e6b950c891c780745460b87f4755b6 upstream.

When we introduce a new sort key, we need to update the
hists__calc_col_len() function accordingly, otherwise the width
will be limited to strlen(header).

We can't update it when obtaining a line value for a column (for
instance, in sort__srcline_cmp()), because we reset it all when doing a
resort (see hists__output_recalc_col_len()), so we need to, from what is
in the hist_entry fields, set each of the column widths.

<title>perf tools: Fix copying of /proc/kcore</title>

<id>3de5bd0b9791f0e6eb1257a1d8ef979890c989ac</id>
<content type='text'>
commit b5cabbcbd157a4bf5a92dfc85134999a3b55342d upstream.

A copy of /proc/kcore containing the kernel text can be made to the
buildid cache. e.g.

	perf buildid-cache -v -k /proc/kcore

To workaround objdump limitations, a copy is also made when annotating
against /proc/kcore.

The copying process stops working from libelf about v1.62 onwards (the
problem was found with v1.63).

The cause is that a call to gelf_getphdr() in kcore__add_phdr() fails
because additional validation has been added to gelf_getphdr().

The use of gelf_getphdr() is a misguided attempt to get default
initialization of the Gelf_Phdr structure.  That should not be
necessary because every member of the Gelf_Phdr structure is
subsequently assigned.  So just remove the call to gelf_getphdr().

Similarly, a call to gelf_getehdr() in gelf_kcore__init() can be
removed also.

Committer notes:

Note to stable@kernel.org, from Adrian in the cover letter for this
patchkit:

The "Fix copying of /proc/kcore" problem goes back to v3.13 if you think
it is important enough for stable.

<title>tools/power turbostat: Use $(CURDIR) instead of $(PWD) and add support for O= option in Makefile</title>

commit f82263c6989c31ae9b94cecddffb29dcbec38710 upstream.

Since commit ee0778a30153
("tools/power: turbostat: make Makefile a bit more capable")
turbostat's Makefile is using

  [...]
  BUILD_OUTPUT    := $(PWD)
  [...]

which obviously causes trouble when building "turbostat" with

  make -C /usr/src/linux/tools/power/x86/turbostat ARCH=x86 turbostat

because GNU make does not update nor guarantee that $PWD is set.

This patch changes the Makefile to use $CURDIR instead, which GNU make
guarantees to set and update (i.e. when using "make -C ...") and also
adds support for the O= option (see "make help" in your root of your
kernel source tree for more details).

This patch changes the Makefile to use $CURDIR instead, which GNU make
guarantees to set and update (i.e. when using "make -C ...") and also
adds support for the O= option (see "make help" in your root of your
kernel source tree for more details).

<title>tools lib traceevent kbuffer: Remove extra update to data pointer in PADDING</title>

commit c5e691928bf166ac03430e957038b60adba3cf6c upstream.

When a event PADDING is hit (a deleted event that is still in the ring
buffer), translate_data() sets the length of the padding and also updates
the data pointer which is passed back to the caller.

This is unneeded because the caller also updates the data pointer with
the passed back length. translate_data() should not update the pointer,
only set the length.

<title>perf session: Do not fail on processing out of order event</title>

commit f61ff6c06dc8f32c7036013ad802c899ec590607 upstream.

Linus reported perf report command being interrupted due to processing
of 'out of order' event, with following error:

  Timestamp below last timeslice flush
  0x5733a8 [0x28]: failed to process type: 3

I could reproduce the issue and in my case it was caused by one CPU
(mmap) being behind during record and userspace mmap reader seeing the
data after other CPUs data were already stored.

This is expected under some circumstances because we need to limit the
number of events that we queue for reordering when we receive a
PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND or when we force flush due to memory
pressure.

[zhangzhiqiang: backport to 3.10:
 - adjust context
 - commit f61ff6c06d struct events_stats was defined in tools/perf/util/event.h
   while 3.10 stable defined in tools/perf/util/hist.h.
 - 3.10 stable there is no pr_oe_time() which used for debug.
 - After the above adjustments, becomes same to the original patch:

A security fix in caused the way the unprivileged remount tests were
using user namespaces to break.  Tweak the way user namespaces are
being used so the test works again.

commit 4a44a19b470a886997d6647a77bb3e38dcbfa8c5 upstream.

- MNT_NODEV should be irrelevant except when reading back mount flags,
  no longer specify MNT_NODEV on remount.

- Test MNT_NODEV on devpts where it is meaningful even for unprivileged mounts.

- Add a test to verify that remount of a prexisting mount with the same flags
  is allowed and does not change those flags.

- Cleanup up the definitions of MS_REC, MS_RELATIME, MS_STRICTATIME that are used
  when the code is built in an environment without them.

- Correct the test error messages when tests fail.  There were not 5 tests
  that tested MS_RELATIME.
