5.0-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
[ Upstream commit 72e0b15cb24a497d7d0d4707cf51ff40c185ae8c ]
With Python3. PyUnicode_FromStringAndSize is unsafe to call on attr and will
return NULL. Use _PyBytes_FromStringAndSize (as with raw_buf).
Below is the observed behavior without the fix. Note it is first necessary
to apply the prior fix (Add trace_context extension module to sys,modules):
# ldd /usr/bin/perf | grep -i python
libpython3.6m.so.1.0 => /usr/lib64/libpython3.6m.so.1.0 (0x00007f8e1dfb2000)
# perf record -e raw_syscalls:sys_enter /bin/false
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.018 MB perf.data (21 samples) ]
# perf script -g python | cat
generated Python script: perf-script.py
# perf script -s ./perf-script.py
in trace_begin
