There's a bug in LLVM that it can generate unneeded relocation
information. See [1] and [2]. Libbpf should check the target section of
a relocation symbol.
This patch adds a testcase which references a global variable (BPF
doesn't support global variables). Before fixing libbpf, the new test
case can be loaded into kernel, the global variable acts like the first
map. It is incorrect.
Result:

There are cases where looking at just the next and prev entries is not
enough, like with:
$ readelf -sW /usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/4.3.3-301.fc23.x86_64/vmlinux | grep ffffffff81065ec0
4979: ffffffff81065ec0 53 FUNC LOCAL DEFAULT 1 try_to_free_pud_page

4981: ffffffff81065ec0 53 FUNC LOCAL DEFAULT 1 try_to_free_pmd_page
So just search by name to see if the symbol is in kallsyms.

Mel reported stddev reporting was broken due to following commit:
106a94a0f8 ("perf stat: Introduce read_counters function")
This commit merged interval and overall counters reading into single
read_counters function.
The old interval code cleaned the stddev data for some reason (it's
never displayed in interval mode) and the mentioned commit kept on
cleaning the stddev data in merged function, which resulted in the
stddev not being displayed.
Removing the wrong stddev data cleanup init_stats call.

Unlike tools/perf/Makefile, tools/perf/Makefile.perf obey 'O' option
when it is passed through cmdline only, due to code in
tools/scripts/Makefile.include:
ifneq ($(O),)
ifeq ($(origin O), command line)
...
ABSOLUTE_O := $(shell cd $(O) ; pwd)
OUTPUT := $(ABSOLUTE_O)/$(if $(subdir),$(subdir)/)
endif
endif
This patch passes 'O' to Makefile.perf through cmdline explicitly
to make it follow O variable during build-test.
'make clean' should have identical 'O' option with 'make'. If not,
config-clean may error.

'make build-test' is painful because of time consuming. In a full test,
all test cases are built twice with tools/perf/Makefile and
tools/perf/Makefile.perf. 'Makefile' automatically computes parallel
options for make, but 'Makefile.perf' not, so all test cases is built
with one job. It is very slow.
This patch adds '-j' options to Makefile.perf testing. It computes
parallel building options like what tools/perf/Makefile does, and pass
'-j' option to Makefile.perf test.

While recording guest samples in host using perf kvm record, it will
populate unprocessable sample error, though samples will be recorded
properly. While generating report using perf kvm report, no samples will
be processed and same error will populate. We have seen this behaviour
with upstream perf(4.4-rc3) on x86 and ppc64 hardware.
Reason behind this failure is, when it tries to fetch machine from
rb_tree of machines, it fails. As a part of tracing a bug, we figured
out that this code was incorrectly refactored in commit 54245fdc35
("perf session: Remove wrappers to machines__find").
This patch will change the functionality such that if it can't fetch
machine in first trial, it will create one node of machine and add that to
rb_tree. So next time when it tries to fetch same machine from rb_tree,
it won't fail. Actually it was the case before refactoring of code in
aforementioned commit.
This patch is generated from acme perf/core branch.
Below I've mention an example that demonstrate the behaviour before and
after applying patch.
Before applying patch:
[Note: One needs to run guest before recording data in host]

Commit 71d6de64fe ("perf test: Fix hist testcases when kptr_restrict is on")
solves a double free problem when 'perf test hist' calling
setup_fake_machine(). However, the result is still incorrect. For example:
$ ./perf test -v 'filtering hist entries'
25: Test filtering hist entries :
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 4186
Cannot create kernel maps
test child finished with 0
---- end ----
Test filtering hist entries: Ok
In this case the body of this test is not get executed at all, but the
result is 'Ok'.
Actually, in setup_fake_machine() there's no need to create real kernel
maps. What we want are the fake maps. This patch removes the
machine__create_kernel_maps() in setup_fake_machine(), so it won't be
affected by kptr_restrict setting.
Test result:
$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict
1
$ ~/perf test -v hist
15: Test matching and linking multiple hists :
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 24031
test child finished with 0
---- end ----
Test matching and linking multiple hists: Ok
