Pull perf/urgent fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

- Stop falling back to kallsyms for vDSO symbols lookup, this wasn't
  being really used and is not valid in arches such as Sparc, where
  user and kernel space don't share the address space, relying only on
  cpumode to figure out what DSOs to lookup (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Align CPU map synthesized events properly, fixing SIGBUS in
  CPUs like Sparc (David Miller)

- Fix use of alternatives to find JDIR (Jarod Wilson)

- Store IDs for events with their own CPUs when synthesizing user
  level event details (scale, unit, etc) events, fixing a crash
  when recording a PMU event with a cpumask defined (Jiri Olsa)

- Fix wrong filter_band* values for uncore Intel vendor events (Jiri Olsa)

- Fix detection of tracefs path in systems without tracefs, where
  that path should be the debugfs mountpoint plus "/tracing/" (Jiri Olsa)

- Pass build flags to traceevent build, allowing using alternative
  flags in distro packages, RPM, for instance (Jiri Olsa)

- Fix 'perf report' crash on invalid inline debug information (Milian Wolff)

- Synch KVM UAPI copies (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

David reports that:

&lt;quote&gt;
Perf has this hack where it uses the kernel symbol map as a backup when
a symbol can't be found in the user's symbol table(s).

This causes problems because the tests driving this code path use
machine__kernel_ip(), and that is completely meaningless on Sparc.  On
sparc64 the kernel and user live in physically separate virtual address
spaces, rather than a shared one.  And the kernel lives at a virtual
address that overlaps common userspace addresses.  So this test passes
almost all the time when a user symbol lookup fails.

The consequence of this is that, if the unfound user virtual address in
the sample doesn't match up to a kernel symbol either, we trigger things
like this code in builtin-top.c:

	if (al.sym == NULL &amp;&amp; al.map != NULL) {
		const char *msg = "Kernel samples will not be resolved.\n";
		/*
		 * As we do lazy loading of symtabs we only will know if the
		 * specified vmlinux file is invalid when we actually have a
		 * hit in kernel space and then try to load it. So if we get
		 * here and there are _no_ symbols in the DSO backing the
		 * kernel map, bail out.
		 *
		 * We may never get here, for instance, if we use -K/
		 * --hide-kernel-symbols, even if the user specifies an
		 * invalid --vmlinux ;-)
		 */
		if (!machine-&gt;kptr_restrict_warned &amp;&amp; !top-&gt;vmlinux_warned &amp;&amp;
		    __map__is_kernel(al.map) &amp;&amp; map__has_symbols(al.map)) {
			if (symbol_conf.vmlinux_name) {
				char serr[256];
				dso__strerror_load(al.map-&gt;dso, serr, sizeof(serr));
				ui__warning("The %s file can't be used: %s\n%s",
					    symbol_conf.vmlinux_name, serr, msg);
			} else {
				ui__warning("A vmlinux file was not found.\n%s",
					    msg);
			}

			if (use_browser &lt;= 0)
				sleep(5);
			top-&gt;vmlinux_warned = true;
		}
	}

When I fire up a compilation on sparc, this triggers immediately.

I'm trying to figure out what the "backup to kernel map" code is
accomplishing.

I see some language in the current code and in the changes that have
happened in this area talking about vdso.  Does that really happen?

The vdso is mapped into userspace virtual addresses, not kernel ones.

More history.  This didn't cause problems on sparc some time ago,
because the kernel IP check used to be "ip &lt; 0" :-) Sparc kernel
addresses are not negative.  But now with machine__kernel_ip(), which
works using the symbol table determined kernel address range, it does
trigger.

What it all boils down to is that on architectures like sparc,
machine__kernel_ip() should always return false in this scenerio, and
therefore this kind of logic:

		if (cpumode == PERF_RECORD_MISC_USER &amp;&amp; machine &amp;&amp;
		    mg != &amp;machine-&gt;kmaps &amp;&amp;
		    machine__kernel_ip(machine, al-&gt;addr)) {

is basically invalid.  PERF_RECORD_MISC_USER implies no kernel address
can possibly match for the sample/event in question (no matter how
hard you try!) :-)
&lt;/&gt;

So, I thought something had changed and in the past we would somehow
find that address in the kallsyms, but I couldn't find anything to back
that up, the patch introducing this is over a decade old, lots of things
changed, so I was just thinking I was missing something.

I tried a gtod busy loop to generate vdso activity and added a 'perf
probe' at that branch, on x86_64 to see if it ever gets hit:

Made thread__find_map() noinline, as 'perf probe' in lines of inline
functions seems to not be working, only at function start. (Masami?)

  # perf probe -x ~/bin/perf -L thread__find_map:57
  &lt;thread__find_map@/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/util/event.c:57&gt;
     57                 if (cpumode == PERF_RECORD_MISC_USER &amp;&amp; machine &amp;&amp;
     58                     mg != &amp;machine-&gt;kmaps &amp;&amp;
     59                     machine__kernel_ip(machine, al-&gt;addr)) {
     60                         mg = &amp;machine-&gt;kmaps;
     61                         load_map = true;
     62                         goto try_again;
                        }
                } else {
                        /*
                         * Kernel maps might be changed when loading
                         * symbols so loading
                         * must be done prior to using kernel maps.
                         */
     69                 if (load_map)
     70                         map__load(al-&gt;map);
     71                 al-&gt;addr = al-&gt;map-&gt;map_ip(al-&gt;map, al-&gt;addr);

  # perf probe -x ~/bin/perf thread__find_map:60
  Added new event:
    probe_perf:thread__find_map (on thread__find_map:60 in /home/acme/bin/perf)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

	perf record -e probe_perf:thread__find_map -aR sleep 1

  #

  Then used this to see if, system wide, those probe points were being hit:

  # perf trace -e *perf:thread*/max-stack=8/
  ^C[root@jouet ~]#

  No hits when running 'perf top' and:

  # cat gtod.c
  #include &lt;sys/time.h&gt;

  int main(void)
  {
	struct timeval tv;

	while (1)
		gettimeofday(&amp;tv, 0);

	return 0;
  }
  [root@jouet c]# ./gtod
  ^C

  Pressed 'P' in 'perf top' and the [vdso] samples are there:

  I added a 'perf probe' to thread__find_map:69, and that surely got tons
  of hits, i.e. for every map found, just to make sure the 'perf probe'
  command was really working.

  In the process I noticed a bug, we're only have records for '[vdso]' for
  pre-existing commands, i.e. ones that are running when we start 'perf top',
  when we will generate the PERF_RECORD_MMAP by looking at /perf/PID/maps.

  I.e. like this, for preexisting processes with a vdso map, again,
  tracing for all the system, only pre-existing processes get a [vdso] map
  (when having one):

  [root@jouet ~]# perf probe -x ~/bin/perf __machine__addnew_vdso
  Added new event:
  probe_perf:__machine__addnew_vdso (on __machine__addnew_vdso in /home/acme/bin/perf)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

	perf record -e probe_perf:__machine__addnew_vdso -aR sleep 1

  [root@jouet ~]# perf trace -e probe_perf:__machine__addnew_vdso/max-stack=8/
     0.000 probe_perf:__machine__addnew_vdso:(568eb3)
                                       __machine__addnew_vdso (/home/acme/bin/perf)
                                       map__new (/home/acme/bin/perf)
                                       machine__process_mmap2_event (/home/acme/bin/perf)
                                       machine__process_event (/home/acme/bin/perf)
                                       perf_event__process (/home/acme/bin/perf)
                                       perf_tool__process_synth_event (/home/acme/bin/perf)
                                       perf_event__synthesize_mmap_events (/home/acme/bin/perf)
                                       __event__synthesize_thread (/home/acme/bin/perf)

The kernel is generating a PERF_RECORD_MMAP for vDSOs, but somehow
'perf top' is not getting those records while 'perf record' is:

The patch is the obvious one and with it we also continue to resolve
vdso symbols for pre-existing processes in 'perf top' and for all
processes in 'perf record' + 'perf report/script'.

So the extra user build flags are propagated to libtraceevent.

When the function name for an inline frame is invalid, we must not try
to demangle this symbol, otherwise we crash with:

  #0  0x0000555555895c01 in bfd_demangle ()
  #1  0x0000555555823262 in demangle_sym (dso=0x555555d92b90, elf_name=0x0, kmodule=0) at util/symbol-elf.c:215

      at util/srcline.c:358

So instead handle the case where we get invalid function names for
inlined frames and use a fallback '??' function name instead.

While this crash was originally reported by Hadrien for rust code, I can
now also reproduce it with trivial C++ code. Indeed, it seems like
libbfd fails to interpret the debug information for the inline frame
symbol name:

  $ addr2line -e /home/milian/.debug/.build-id/f7/186d14bb94f3c6161c010926da66033d24fce5/elf -if b48
  main
  /usr/include/c++/8.2.1/complex:610
  ??
  /usr/include/c++/8.2.1/complex:618
  ??
  /usr/include/c++/8.2.1/complex:675
  ??
  /usr/include/c++/8.2.1/complex:685
  main
  /home/milian/projects/kdab/rnd/hotspot/tests/test-clients/cpp-inlining/main.cpp:39

I've reported this bug upstream and also attached a patch there which
should fix this issue:

The size of the resulting cpu map can be smaller than a multiple of
sizeof(u64), resulting in SIGBUS on cpus like Sparc as the next event
will not be aligned properly.

<title>perf tools: Fix tracing_path_mount proper path</title>

If there's no tracefs (RHEL7) support the tracing_path_mount
returns debugfs path which results in following fail:

  # perf probe sys_write
  kprobe_events file does not exist - please rebuild kernel with CONFIG_KPROBE_EVENTS.
  Error: Failed to add events.

In tracing_path_debugfs_mount function we need to return the
'tracing' path instead of just the mount to make it work:

  # perf probe sys_write
  Added new event:
    probe:sys_write      (on sys_write)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

          perf record -e probe:sys_write -aR sleep 1

Adding the 'return tracing_path;' also to tracing_path_tracefs_mount
function just for consistency with tracing_path_debugfs_mount.

Upstream keeps working, because it has the tracefs support.
