commit 3b832035387ff508fdcf0fba66701afc78f79e3d upstream.

This reverts commit 2a010c41285345da60cece35575b4e0af7e7bf44.

&gt; started causing process crashes in certain situations due to a change
&gt; in the Linux kernel. Here are the details:
&gt;
&gt; - In general, overwriting an existing file is much faster than
&gt; creating an empty file and writing to it on Linux, so mold attempts to
&gt; reuse an existing executable file if it exists.
&gt;
&gt; - If a program is running, opening the executable file for writing
&gt; previously failed with ETXTBSY. If that happens, mold falls back to
&gt; creating a new file.
&gt;
&gt; - However, the Linux kernel recently changed the behavior so that
&gt; writing to an executable file is now always permitted
&gt; (https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=2a010c412853).
&gt;
&gt; That caused mold to write to an executable file even if there's a
&gt; process running that file. Since changes to mmap'ed files are
&gt; immediately visible to other processes, any processes running that
&gt; file would almost certainly crash in a very mysterious way.
&gt; Identifying the cause of these random crashes took us a few days.
&gt;
&gt; Rejecting writes to an executable file that is currently running is a
&gt; well-known behavior, and Linux had operated that way for a very long
&gt; time. So, I don’t believe relying on this behavior was our mistake;
&gt; rather, I see this as a regression in the Linux kernel.

Quoting myself from commit 2a010c412853 ("fs: don't block i_writecount during exec")

&gt; Yes, someone in userspace could potentially be relying on this. It's not
&gt; completely out of the realm of possibility but let's find out if that's
&gt; actually the case and not guess.

It seems we found out that someone is relying on this obscure behavior.
So revert the change.

commit 24d02c4e53e2f02da16b2ae8a1bc92553110ca25 upstream.

The unification of irq_domain_create_legacy() missed the fact that
interrupts must be associated even when the Linux interrupt number provided
in the first_irq argument is 0.

This breaks all call sites of irq_domain_create_legacy() which supply 0 as
the first_irq argument.

Enforce the association for legacy domains in __irq_domain_instantiate() to
cure this.

<title>irqdomain: Allow giving name suffix for domain</title>

[ Upstream commit 1e7c05292531e5b6bebe409cd531ed4ec0b2ff56 ]

Devices can provide multiple interrupt lines. One reason for this is that
a device has multiple subfunctions, each providing its own interrupt line.
Another reason is that a device can be designed to be used (also) on a
system where some of the interrupts can be routed to another processor.

A line often further acts as a demultiplex for specific interrupts
and has it's respective set of interrupt (status, mask, ack, ...)
registers.

Regmap supports the handling of these registers and demultiplexing
interrupts, but the interrupt domain code ends up assigning the same name
for the per interrupt line domains. This causes a naming collision in the
debugFS code and leads to confusion, as /proc/interrupts shows two separate
interrupts with the same domain name and hardware interrupt number.

Instead of adding a workaround in regmap or driver code, allow giving a
name suffix for the domain name when the domain is created.

Add a name_suffix field in the irq_domain_info structure and make
irq_domain_instantiate() use this suffix if it is given when a domain is
created.

[ Upstream commit 70114e7f7585ef078c2b7033ee14218f95f55e22 ]

irq_domain_create_simple() and irq_domain_create_legacy() use
__irq_domain_instantiate(), but have extra handling of allocating interrupt
descriptors and associating interrupts in them. Some of that is duplicated.

There are also call sites which have conditonals to invoke different
interrupt domain creator functions, where one of them is usually
irq_domain_create_legacy(). Alternatively they associate the interrupts for
the legacy case after creating the domain.

Moving the extra logic of irq_domain_create_simple()/legacy() into
__irq_domain_instantiate() allows to consolidate that.

Introduce hwirq_base and virq_base members in the irq_domain_info
structure, which allows to transport the required information and add the
conditional interrupt descriptor allocation and interrupt association into
__irq_domain_instantiate().

This reduces irq_domain_create_legacy() and irq_domain_create_simple() to
trivial wrappers which fill in the info structure and allows call sites
which must support the legacy case along with more modern mechanism to
select the domain type via the parameters of the info struct.

[ Upstream commit afe5960dc208fe069ddaaeb0994d857b24ac19d1 ]

When a tracepoint event is created with attr.freq = 1,
'hwc-&gt;period_left' is not initialized correctly. As a result,
in the perf_swevent_overflow() function, when the first time the event occurs,
it calculates the event overflow and the perf_swevent_set_period() returns 3,
this leads to the event are recorded for three duplicate times.

Step to reproduce:
    1. Enable the tracepoint event &amp; starting tracing
         $ echo 1 &gt; /sys/kernel/tracing/events/module/module_free
         $ echo 1 &gt; /sys/kernel/tracing/tracing_on

    2. Record with perf
         $ perf record -a --strict-freq -F 1 -e "module:module_free"

    3. Trigger module_free event.
         $ modprobe -i sunrpc
         $ modprobe -r sunrpc

Result:
     - Trace pipe result:
         $ cat trace_pipe
         modprobe-174509  [003] .....  6504.868896: module_free: sunrpc

     - perf sample:
         modprobe  174509 [003]  6504.868980: module:module_free: sunrpc
         modprobe  174509 [003]  6504.868980: module:module_free: sunrpc
         modprobe  174509 [003]  6504.868980: module:module_free: sunrpc

By setting period_left via perf_swevent_set_period() as other sw_event did,
This problem could be solved.

After patch:
     - Trace pipe result:
         $ cat trace_pipe
         modprobe 1153096 [068] 613468.867774: module:module_free: xfs

<title>bpf: Add kernel symbol for struct_ops trampoline</title>

[ Upstream commit 7c8ce4ffb684676039b1ff9ff81c126794e8d88e ]

Without kernel symbols for struct_ops trampoline, the unwinder may
produce unexpected stacktraces.

For example, the x86 ORC and FP unwinders check if an IP is in kernel
text by verifying the presence of the IP's kernel symbol. When a
struct_ops trampoline address is encountered, the unwinder stops due
to the absence of symbol, resulting in an incomplete stacktrace that
consists only of direct and indirect child functions called from the
trampoline.

The arm64 unwinder is another example. While the arm64 unwinder can
proceed across a struct_ops trampoline address, the corresponding
symbol name is displayed as "unknown", which is confusing.

Thus, add kernel symbol for struct_ops trampoline. The name is
bpf__&lt;struct_ops_name&gt;_&lt;member_name&gt;, where &lt;struct_ops_name&gt; is the
type name of the struct_ops, and &lt;member_name&gt; is the name of
the member that the trampoline is linked to.

Below is a comparison of stacktraces captured on x86 by perf record,
before and after this patch.

[ Upstream commit 821a3fa32bbe3bc0fa23b3189325d3720a49a24c ]

Only function pointers in a struct_ops structure can be linked to bpf
progs, so set the links count to the function pointers count, instead
of the total members count in the structure.

[ Upstream commit f505005bc7426f4309880da94cfbfc37efa225bd ]

As suggested by Andrii make uprobe multi bpf programs to always return 0,
so they can't force uprobe removal.

Keeping the int return type for uprobe_prog_run, because it will be used
in following session changes.
