commit b02709587ea3d699a608568ee8157d8db4fd8cae upstream.

The 64-bit signed bounds should not affect 32-bit signed bounds unless the
verifier knows that upper 32-bits are either all 1s or all 0s. For example the
register with smin_value==1 doesn't mean that s32_min_value is also equal to 1,
since smax_value could be larger than 32-bit subregister can hold.
The verifier refines the smax/s32_max return value from certain helpers in
do_refine_retval_range(). Teach the verifier to recognize that smin/s32_min
value is also bounded. When both smin and smax bounds fit into 32-bit
subregister the verifier can propagate those bounds.

<title>genirq/irqdomain: Add an irq_create_mapping_affinity() function</title>

commit bb4c6910c8b41623104c2e64a30615682689a54d upstream.

There is currently no way to convey the affinity of an interrupt
via irq_create_mapping(), which creates issues for devices that
expect that affinity to be managed by the kernel.

In order to sort this out, rename irq_create_mapping() to
irq_create_mapping_affinity() with an additional affinity parameter that
can be passed down to irq_domain_alloc_descs().

irq_create_mapping() is re-implemented as a wrapper around
irq_create_mapping_affinity().

No functional change.

commit bcee5278958802b40ee8b26679155a6d9231783e upstream.

When the instances were able to use their own options, the userstacktrace
option was left hardcoded for the top level. This made the instance
userstacktrace option bascially into a nop, and will confuse users that set
it, but nothing happens (I was confused when it happened to me!)

<title>ftrace: Fix updating FTRACE_FL_TRAMP</title>

commit 4c75b0ff4e4bf7a45b5aef9639799719c28d0073 upstream.

On powerpc, kprobe-direct.tc triggered FTRACE_WARN_ON() in
ftrace_get_addr_new() followed by the below message:
  Bad trampoline accounting at: 000000004222522f (wake_up_process+0xc/0x20) (f0000001)

The set of steps leading to this involved:
- modprobe ftrace-direct-too
- enable_probe
- modprobe ftrace-direct
- rmmod ftrace-direct &lt;-- trigger

The problem turned out to be that we were not updating flags in the
ftrace record properly. From the above message about the trampoline
accounting being bad, it can be seen that the ftrace record still has
FTRACE_FL_TRAMP set though ftrace-direct module is going away. This
happens because we are checking if any ftrace_ops has the
FTRACE_FL_TRAMP flag set _before_ updating the filter hash.

The fix for this is to look for any _other_ ftrace_ops that also needs
FTRACE_FL_TRAMP.

commit 68e10d5ff512b503dcba1246ad5620f32035e135 upstream.

The current ring buffer logic checks to see if the updating of the event
buffer was interrupted, and if it is, it will try to fix up the before stamp
with the write stamp to make them equal again. This logic is flawed, because
if it is not interrupted, the two are guaranteed to be different, as the
current event just updated the before stamp before allocation. This
guarantees that the next event (this one or another interrupting one) will
think it interrupted the time updates of a previous event and inject an
absolute time stamp to compensate.

The correct logic is to always update the timestamps when traversing to a
new sub buffer.

commit 8785f51a17083eee7c37606079c6447afc6ba102 upstream.

In the slow path of __rb_reserve_next() a nested event(s) can happen
between evaluating the timestamp delta of the current event and updating
write_stamp via local_cmpxchg(); in this case the delta is not valid
anymore and it should be set to 0 (same timestamp as the interrupting
event), since the event that we are currently processing is not the last
event in the buffer.

commit 55ea4cf403800af2ce6b125bc3d853117e0c0456 upstream.

The write stamp, used to calculate deltas between events, was updated with
the stale "ts" value in the "info" structure, and not with the updated "ts"
variable. This caused the deltas between events to be inaccurate, and when
crossing into a new sub buffer, had time go backwards.

commit 310e3a4b5a4fc718a72201c1e4cf5c64ac6f5442 upstream.

This patch reverts commit 978defee11a5 ("tracing: Do a WARN_ON()
 if start_thread() in hwlat is called when thread exists")

.start hook can be legally called several times if according
tracer is stopped

commit 8fa655a3a0013a0c2a2aada6f39a93ee6fc25549 upstream.

With 5.9 kernel on ARM64, I found ftrace_dump output was broken but
it had no problem with normal output "cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace".

With investigation, it seems coping the data into temporal buffer seems to
break the align binary printf expects if the static buffer is not aligned
with 4-byte. IIUC, get_arg in bstr_printf expects that args has already
right align to be decoded and seq_buf_bprintf says ``the arguments are saved
in a 32bit word array that is defined by the format string constraints``.
So if we don't keep the align under copy to temporal buffer, the output
will be broken by shifting some bytes.

This patch fixes it.
