commit be08815c5d3b25e53cd9b53a4d768d5f3d93ba25 upstream.

We have one triggering on eBPF but lets also add a cBPF example to
make sure we keep tracking them. Also add anther cBPF test running
max number of MSH ops.

<title>lib/timerqueue: Rely on rbtree semantics for next timer</title>

commit 511885d7061eda3eb1faf3f57dcc936ff75863f1 upstream.

Simplify the timerqueue code by using cached rbtrees and rely on the tree
leftmost node semantics to get the timer with earliest expiration time.
This is a drop in conversion, and therefore semantics remain untouched.

The runtime overhead of cached rbtrees is be pretty much the same as the
current head-&gt;next method, noting that when removing the leftmost node,
a common operation for the timerqueue, the rb_next(leftmost) is O(1) as
well, so the next timer will either be the right node or its parent.
Therefore no extra pointer chasing. Finally, the size of the struct
timerqueue_head remains the same.

Passes several hours of rcutorture.

[ Upstream commit 6fe26259b4884b657cbc233fb9cdade9d704976e ]

Commit 05a4a9527931 ("kernel/watchdog: split up config options") adds a
new config HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR, which selects the non-existing config
HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH.

Hence, ./scripts/checkkconfigsymbols.py warns:

HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH Referencing files: lib/Kconfig.debug

Simply drop selecting the non-existing HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH.

<title>bpf/tests: Do not PASS tests without actually testing the result</title>

[ Upstream commit 2b7e9f25e590726cca76700ebdb10e92a7a72ca1 ]

Each test case can have a set of sub-tests, where each sub-test can
run the cBPF/eBPF test snippet with its own data_size and expected
result. Before, the end of the sub-test array was indicated by both
data_size and result being zero. However, most or all of the internal
eBPF tests has a data_size of zero already. When such a test also had
an expected value of zero, the test was never run but reported as
PASS anyway.

Now the test runner always runs the first sub-test, regardless of the
data_size and result values. The sub-test array zero-termination only
applies for any additional sub-tests.

There are other ways fix it of course, but this solution at least
removes the surprise of eBPF tests with a zero result always succeeding.

<title>lib/decompress_unlz4.c: correctly handle zero-padding around initrds.</title>

[ Upstream commit 2c484419efc09e7234c667aa72698cb79ba8d8ed ]

lz4 compatible decompressor is simple.  The format is underspecified and
relies on EOF notification to determine when to stop.  Initramfs buffer
format[1] explicitly states that it can have arbitrary number of zero
padding.  Thus when operating without a fill function, be extra careful to
ensure that sizes less than 4, or apperantly empty chunksizes are treated
as EOF.

To test this I have created two cpio initrds, first a normal one,
main.cpio.  And second one with just a single /test-file with content
"second" second.cpio.  Then i compressed both of them with gzip, and with
lz4 -l.  Then I created a padding of 4 bytes (dd if=/dev/zero of=pad4 bs=1
count=4).  To create four testcase initrds:

 1) main.cpio.gzip + extra.cpio.gzip = pad0.gzip
 2) main.cpio.lz4  + extra.cpio.lz4 = pad0.lz4
 3) main.cpio.gzip + pad4 + extra.cpio.gzip = pad4.gzip
 4) main.cpio.lz4  + pad4 + extra.cpio.lz4 = pad4.lz4

The pad4 test-cases replicate the initrd load by grub, as it pads and
aligns every initrd it loads.

All of the above boot, however /test-file was not accessible in the initrd
for the testcase #4, as decoding in lz4 decompressor failed.  Also an
error message printed which usually is harmless.

Whith a patched kernel, all of the above testcases now pass, and
/test-file is accessible.

This fixes lz4 initrd decompress warning on every boot with grub.  And
more importantly this fixes inability to load multiple lz4 compressed
initrds with grub.  This patch has been shipping in Ubuntu kernels since
January 2021.

commit d3b16034a24a112bb83aeb669ac5b9b01f744bb7 upstream.

There's two variables being increased in that loop (i and j), and i
follows the raw data, and j follows what is being written into the buffer.
We should compare 'i' to MAX_MEMHEX_BYTES or compare 'j' to HEX_CHARS.
Otherwise, if 'j' goes bigger than HEX_CHARS, it will overflow the
destination buffer.

[ Upstream commit 900fdc4573766dd43b847b4f54bd4a1ee2bc7360 ]

The existing code attempted to handle numbers by doing a strto[u]l(),
ignoring the field width, and then repeatedly dividing to extract the
field out of the full converted value. If the string contains a run of
valid digits longer than will fit in a long or long long, this would
overflow and no amount of dividing can recover the correct value.

This patch fixes vsscanf() to obey number field widths when parsing
the number.

A new _parse_integer_limit() is added that takes a limit for the number
of characters to parse. The number field conversion in vsscanf is changed
to use this new function.

If a number starts with a radix prefix, the field width  must be long
enough for at last one digit after the prefix. If not, it will be handled
like this:

 sscanf("0x4", "%1i", &amp;i): i=0, scanning continues with the 'x'
 sscanf("0x4", "%2i", &amp;i): i=0, scanning continues with the '4'

This is consistent with the observed behaviour of userland sscanf.

Note that this patch does NOT fix the problem of a single field value
overflowing the target type. So for example:

  sscanf("123456789abcdef", "%x", &amp;i);

Will not produce the correct result because the value obviously overflows
INT_MAX. But sscanf will report a successful conversion.

Note that where a very large number is used to mean "unlimited", the value
INT_MAX is used for consistency with the behaviour of vsnprintf().

<title>seq_buf: Make trace_seq_putmem_hex() support data longer than 8</title>

commit 6a2cbc58d6c9d90cd74288cc497c2b45815bc064 upstream.

Since the raw memory 'data' does not go forward, it will dump repeated
data if the data length is more than 8. If we want to dump longer data
blocks, we need to repeatedly call macro SEQ_PUT_HEX_FIELD. I think it
is a bit redundant, and multiple function calls also affect the performance.
