Pull perf/core improvements and fixes:
User visible fixes:
- Fix documentation of :ppp modifier in 'perf list' (Andi Kleen)
- Fix silly nodes bitfield bits/bytes length assertion in 'perf bench numa' (Jakub Jelen)
- Remove redundant CPU output in libtraceevent (Steven Rostedt)
- Remove 'core_id' check in topology 'perf test' (Sukadev Bhattiprolu)
Infrastructure changes/fixes:
- Record text offset in dso to calculate objdump address, to use with
modules in addition to vDSO symbol address calculations (Wang Nan)
- Move utilities.mak from perf to tools/scripts/ (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Add cpumode to the perf_sample struct, this way we don't need to pass
the union event to the machine and thread resolving routines, shortening
function signatures and allowing the future introduction of a way
to use tracepoint events instead of the unavailable HW cycles counter on
powerpc guests in perf kvm by just hooking on perf_evsel__parse_sample,
at the end (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Remove/unexport die() related infrastructure, that at some point will
finally be removed (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Adopt linux/stringify.h from the kernel sources, not to touch this
kernel header from tools/ (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Stop using strbuf for things we can instead trivially use libc's asprintf()
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Ditch tools/lib/util/abspath.c, its only exported function was used at just
one place and can be replaced by libc's realpath() (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Use strerror_r() in the llvm infrastructure, tread safe, its what is used
elsewhere in tools/perf/ (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
Cleanups:
- Removed misplaced or needless __maybe_unused/export (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

Commit a674533078 ("tools lib traceevent: Split pevent_print_event()
into specific functionality functions") broke apart the function
pevent_print_event() into three functions.
The first function prints the comm, pid and CPU, the second prints the
timestamp.
But that commit added the printing of the CPU in the timestamp function,
which now causes pevent_print_event() to duplicate the CPU output.
Remove the redundant printing of the record's CPU from the timestamp
function.

Pull 'objtool' stack frame validation from Ingo Molnar:
"This tree adds a new kernel build-time object file validation feature
(ONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION=y): kernel stack frame correctness validation.
It was written by and is maintained by Josh Poimboeuf.
The motivation: there's a category of hard to find kernel bugs, most
of them in assembly code (but also occasionally in C code), that
degrades the quality of kernel stack dumps/backtraces. These bugs are
hard to detect at the source code level. Such bugs result in
incorrect/incomplete backtraces most of time - but can also in some
rare cases result in crashes or other undefined behavior.
The build time correctness checking is done via the new 'objtool'
user-space utility that was written for this purpose and which is
hosted in the kernel repository in tools/objtool/. The tool's (very
simple) UI and source code design is shaped after Git and perf and
shares quite a bit of infrastructure with tools/perf (which tooling
infrastructure sharing effort got merged via perf and is already
upstream). Objtool follows the well-known kernel coding style.
Objtool does not try to check .c or .S files, it instead analyzes the
resulting .o generated machine code from first principles: it decodes
the instruction stream and interprets it. (Right now objtool supports
the x86-64 architecture.)
From tools/objtool/Documentation/stack-validation.txt:
"The kernel CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION option enables a host tool named
objtool which runs at compile time. It has a "check" subcommand
which analyzes every .o file and ensures the validity of its stack
metadata. It enforces a set of rules on asm code and C inline
assembly code so that stack traces can be reliable.
Currently it only checks frame pointer usage, but there are plans to
add CFI validation for C files and CFI generation for asm files.
For each function, it recursively follows all possible code paths
and validates the correct frame pointer state at each instruction.
It also follows code paths involving special sections, like
.altinstructions, __jump_table, and __ex_table, which can add
alternative execution paths to a given instruction (or set of
instructions). Similarly, it knows how to follow switch statements,
for which gcc sometimes uses jump tables."
When this new kernel option is enabled (it's disabled by default), the
tool, if it finds any suspicious assembly code pattern, outputs
warnings in compiler warning format:
warning: objtool: rtlwifi_rate_mapping()+0x2e7: frame pointer state mismatch
warning: objtool: cik_tiling_mode_table_init()+0x6ce: call without frame pointer save/setup
warning: objtool:__schedule()+0x3c0: duplicate frame pointer save
warning: objtool:__schedule()+0x3fd: sibling call from callable instruction with changed frame pointer
... so that scripts that pick up compiler warnings will notice them.
All known warnings triggered by the tool are fixed by the tree, most
of the commits in fact prepare the kernel to be warning-free. Most of
them are bugfixes or cleanups that stand on their own, but there are
also some annotations of 'special' stack frames for justified cases
such entries to JIT-ed code (BPF) or really special boot time code.
There are two other long-term motivations behind this tool as well:
- To improve the quality and reliability of kernel stack frames, so
that they can be used for optimized live patching.
- To create independent infrastructure to check the correctness of
CFI stack frames at build time. CFI debuginfo is notoriously
unreliable and we cannot use it in the kernel as-is without extra
checking done both on the kernel side and on the build side.
The quality of kernel stack frames matters to debuggability as well,
so IMO we can merge this without having to consider the live patching
or CFI debuginfo angle"
