[ Upstream commit 75bcb8776dc987538f267ba4ba05ca43fc2b1676 ]

When recording PEBS-via-PT, the kernel will not accept the intel_pt
event with register sampling e.g.

 # perf record --kcore -c 10000 -e '{intel_pt/branch=0/,branch-loads/aux-output/ppp}' -I -- ls -l
 Error:
 intel_pt/branch=0/: PMU Hardware doesn't support sampling/overflow-interrupts. Try 'perf stat'

Fix by suppressing register sampling on the intel_pt evsel.

Committer notes:

Adrian informed that this is only available from Tremont onwards, so on
older processors the error continues the same as before.

<title>tools headers: Update x86's syscall_64.tbl with the kernel sources</title>

<id>urn:sha1:d8ed4d7aeb1e5f2315f801516d1953ea0af88a22</id>
<content type='text'>
To pick the changes from:

  d3b1b776eefc ("x86/entry/64: Remove ptregs qualifier from syscall table")
  cab56d3484d4 ("x86/entry: Remove ABI prefixes from functions in syscall tables")
  27dd84fafcd5 ("x86/entry/64: Use syscall wrappers for x32_rt_sigreturn")

Addressing this tools/perf build warning:

  Warning: Kernel ABI header at 'tools/perf/arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscall_64.tbl' differs from latest version at 'arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscall_64.tbl'
  diff -u tools/perf/arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscall_64.tbl arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscall_64.tbl

That didn't result in any tooling changes, as what is extracted are just
the first two columns, and these patches touched only the third.

Add to the "x86 instruction decoder - new instructions" test the following
instructions:

  incsspd
  incsspq
  rdsspd
  rdsspq
  saveprevssp
  rstorssp
  wrssd
  wrssq
  wrussd
  wrussq
  setssbsy
  clrssbsy
  endbr32
  endbr64

And the notrack prefix for indirect calls and jumps.

Enforcement Technology Specification May 2019 (334525-003).

This is currently working due to extra include paths in the build.

Committer testing:

  $ cd tools/include/uapi/asm/

Before this patch:

  $ ls -la ../../arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/errno.h
  ls: cannot access '../../arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/errno.h': No such file or directory
  $

After this patch;

  $ ls -la ../../../arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/errno.h
  -rw-rw-r--. 1 acme acme 31 Feb 20 12:42 ../../../arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/errno.h
  $

Check that that is still under tools/, i.e. hasn't escaped into the main
kernel sources:

  $ cd ../../../arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/
  $ pwd
  /home/acme/git/perf/tools/arch/x86/include/uapi/asm

<content type='text'>
In __cmd_record(), when receiving SIGINT(ctrl + c), a 'done' flag will
be set and the event list will be disabled by evlist__disable() once.

While in auxtrace_record.read_finish(), the related events will be
enabled again, if they are continuous, the recording seems to be
endless.

If the intel_bts event is disabled, we don't enable it again here.

Note: This patch is NOT tested since i don't have such a machine with
intel_bts feature, but the code seems buggy same as arm-spe and
intel-pt.

<title>tools include UAPI: Sync x86's syscalls_64.tbl, generic unistd.h and fcntl.h to pick up openat2 and pidfd_getfd</title>

Update tools/'s copy of that file:

See the result:

  $ diff -u /tmp/build/perf/arch/x86/include/generated/asm/syscalls_64.c.before /tmp/build/perf/arch/x86/include/generated/asm/syscalls_64.c

Now one can use:

  perf trace -e openat2,pidfd_getfd

To get just those syscalls or use in things like:

  perf trace -e open*

To get all the open variant (open, openat, openat2, etc) or:

  perf trace pidfd*

To get the pidfd syscalls.

And update linux/linkage.h, which requires in turn that we make these
files switch from ENTRY()/ENDPROC() to SYM_FUNC_START()/SYM_FUNC_END():

  tools/perf/arch/arm64/tests/regs_load.S
  tools/perf/arch/arm/tests/regs_load.S
  tools/perf/arch/powerpc/tests/regs_load.S
  tools/perf/arch/x86/tests/regs_load.S

We also need to switch SYM_FUNC_START_LOCAL() to SYM_FUNC_START() for
the functions used directly by 'perf bench', and update
tools/perf/check_headers.sh to ignore those changes when checking if the
kernel original files drifted from the copies we carry.

This is to get the changes from:

  6dcc5627f6ae ("x86/asm: Change all ENTRY+ENDPROC to SYM_FUNC_*")
  ef1e03152cb0 ("x86/asm: Make some functions local")
  e9b9d020c487 ("x86/asm: Annotate aliases")

And address these tools/perf build warnings:

  Warning: Kernel ABI header at 'tools/arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S' differs from latest version at 'arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S'
  diff -u tools/arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S
