commit 067012974c8ae31a8886046df082aeba93592972 upstream.

gcc version: 11.0.0 20210208 (experimental) (GCC)

Following build error on arm64:

This patch fixes Wformat-overflow warnings. Add helper function to
convert NULL to "unknown".

Pull compat mount cleanups from Al Viro:
 "The last remnants of mount(2) compat buried by Christoph.

  Buried into NFS, that is.

  Generally I'm less enthusiastic about "let's use in_compat_syscall()
  deep in call chain" kind of approach than Christoph seems to be, but
  in this case it's warranted - that had been an NFS-specific wart,
  hopefully not to be repeated in any other filesystems (read: any new
  filesystem introducing non-text mount options will get NAKed even if
  it doesn't mess the layout up).

  IOW, not worth trying to grow an infrastructure that would avoid that
  use of in_compat_syscall()..."

compat_sys_mount is identical to the regular sys_mount now, so remove it
and use the native version everywhere.

<title>all arch: remove system call sys_sysctl</title>

<id>urn:sha1:88db0aa2421666d2f73486d15b239a4521983d55</id>
<content type='text'>
Since commit 61a47c1ad3a4dc ("sysctl: Remove the sysctl system call"),
sys_sysctl is actually unavailable: any input can only return an error.

We have been warning about people using the sysctl system call for years
and believe there are no more users.  Even if there are users of this
interface if they have not complained or fixed their code by now they
probably are not going to, so there is no point in warning them any
longer.

So completely remove sys_sysctl on all architectures.

Pull perf tools updates from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
 "New features:

   - Introduce controlling how 'perf stat' and 'perf record' works via a
     control file descriptor, allowing starting with events configured
     but disabled until commands are received via the control file
     descriptor. This allows, for instance for tools such as Intel VTune
     to make further use of perf as its Linux platform driver.

   - Improve 'perf record' to to register in a perf.data file header the
     clockid used to help later correlate things like syslog files and
     perf events recorded.

   - Add basic syscall and find_next_bit benchmarks to 'perf bench'.

   - Allow using computed metrics in calculating other metrics. For
     instance:

	  {

	    .metric_name    = "DCache_L2_All_Hits",

   - Add suport for 'd_ratio', '&gt;' and '&lt;' operators to the expression
     resolver used in calculating metrics in 'perf stat'.

  Support for new kernel features:

   - Support TEXT_POKE and KSYMBOL_TYPE_OOL perf metadata events to cope
     with things like ftrace, trampolines, i.e. changes in the kernel
     text that gets in the way of properly decoding Intel PT hardware
     traces, for instance.

  Intel PT:

   - Add various knobs to reduce the volume of Intel PT traces by
     reducing the level of details such as decoding just some types of
     packets (e.g., FUP/TIP, PSB+), also filtering by time range.

   - Add new itrace options (log flags to the 'd' option, error flags to
     the 'e' one, etc), controlling how Intel PT is transformed into
     perf events, document some missing options (e.g., how to synthesize
     callchains).

  BPF:

   - Properly report BPF errors when parsing events.

   - Do not setup side-band events if LIBBPF is not linked, fixing a
     segfault.

  Libraries:

   - Improvements to the libtraceevent plugin mechanism.

   - Improve libtracevent support for KVM trace events SVM exit reasons.

   - Add a libtracevent plugins for decoding syscalls/sys_enter_futex
     and for tlb_flush.

   - Ensure sample_period is set libpfm4 events in 'perf test'.

   - Fixup libperf namespacing, to make sure what is in libperf has the
     perf_ namespace while what is now only in tools/perf/ doesn't use
     that prefix.

  Arch specific:

   - Improve the testing of vendor events and metrics in 'perf test'.

   - Allow no ARM CoreSight hardware tracer sink to be specified on
     command line.

   - Fix arm_spe_x recording when mixed with other perf events.

   - Add s390 idle functions 'psw_idle' and 'psw_idle_exit' to list of
     idle symbols.

   - List kernel supplied event aliases for arm64 in 'perf list'.

   - Add support for extended register capability in PowerPC 9 and 10.

   - Added nest IMC power9 metric events.

  Miscellaneous:

   - No need to setup sample_regs_intr/sample_regs_user for dummy
     events.

   - Update various copies of kernel headers, some causing perf to
     handle new syscalls, MSRs, etc.

   - Improve usage of flex and yacc, enabling warnings and addressing
     the fallout.

   - Add missing '--output' option to 'perf kmem' so that it can pass it
     along to 'perf record'.

   - 'perf probe' fixes related to adding multiple probes on the same
     address for the same event.

   - Make 'perf probe' warn if the target function is a GNU indirect
     function.

   - Remove //anon mmap events from 'perf inject jit' to fix supporting
     both using ELF files for generated functions and the perf-PID.map
     approaches"
