      Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo-4.17-20180319' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/core

Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

- Fixes for problems experienced with new GCC 8 warnings, that treated
  as errors, broke the build, related to snprintf and casting issues.
  (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo, Jiri Olsa, Josh Poinboeuf)

- Fix build of new breakpoint 'perf test' entry with clang < 6, noticed
  on fedora 25, 26 and 27 (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Workaround problem with symbol resolution in 'perf annotate', using
  the symbol name already present in the objdump output (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Document 'perf top --ignore-vmlinux' (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Fix out of bounds access on array fd when cnt is 100 in one of the
  'perf test' entries, detected using 'cpptest' (Colin Ian King)

- Add support for the forced leader feature, i.e. 'perf report --group'
  for a group of events not really grouped when scheduled (without using
  {} to enclose the list of events in the command line) in pipe mode,
  e.g.:

    $ perf record -e cycles,instructions -o - kill | perf report --group -i -

- Use right type to access array elements in 'perf probe' (Masami Hiramatsu)

- Update POWER9 vendor events (those described in JSON format) (Sukadev Bhattiprolu)

- Discard head in overwrite_rb_find_range() (Yisheng Xie)

- Avoid setting 'quiet' to 'true' unnecessarily (Yisheng Xie)

      objtool, perf: Fix GCC 8 -Wrestrict error · 854e55ad
      Josh Poimboeuf authored 
      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.

      perf probe: Use right type to access array elements · d0461794
      Masami Hiramatsu authored 
      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"

      perf annotate: Use ops->target.name when available for unresolved call targets · 4c9cb2c2
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored 
      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.

      perf tools: Fix python extension build for gcc 8 · b7a313d8
      Jiri Olsa authored 
      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]
  #

those have:

  clang version 3.9.1 (tags/RELEASE_391/final)

The one in rawhide accepts that:

  clang version 6.0.0 (tags/RELEASE_600/final)

      perf tools: Fix snprint warnings for gcc 8 · 77f18153
      Jiri Olsa authored 
      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.
