commit a477629baa2a0e9991f640af418e8c973a1c08e3 upstream.

While nolibc-test does test syscalls, it doesn't test as much the rest
of the macros, and a wrong spelling of FD_SETBITMASK in commit
feaf75658783a broke programs using either FD_SET() or FD_CLR() without
being noticed. Let's fix these macros.

<title>tools/nolibc: define time_t in terms of __kernel_old_time_t</title>

[ Upstream commit d5094bcb5bfdfea2cf0de8aaf77cc65db56cbdb5 ]

Nolibc assumes that the kernel ABI is using a time values that are as
large as a long integer. For most ABIs this holds true.
But for x32 this is not correct, as it uses 32bit longs but 64bit times.

Also the 'struct stat' implementation of nolibc relies on timespec::tv_sec
and time_t being the same type. While timespec::tv_sec comes from the
kernel and is of type __kernel_old_time_t, time_t is defined within nolibc.

Switch to the __kernel_old_time_t to always get the correct type.

<title>tools/nolibc: avoid false-positive -Wmaybe-uninitialized through waitpid()</title>

[ Upstream commit 31db7b6a78b7651973c66b7cf479209b20c55290 ]

The compiler does not know that waitid() will only ever return 0 or -1.
If waitid() would return a positive value than waitpid() would return that
same value and *status would not be initialized.
However users calling waitpid() know that the only possible return values
of it are 0 or -1. They therefore might check for errors with
'ret == -1' or 'ret &lt; 0' and use *status otherwise. The compiler will then
warn about the usage of a potentially uninitialized variable.

Example:

	$ cat test.c
	#include &lt;stdio.h&gt;
	#include &lt;unistd.h&gt;

	int main(void)
	{
		int ret, status;

		ret = waitpid(0, &amp;status, 0);
		if (ret == -1)
			return 0;

		printf("status %x\n", status);

		return 0;
	}

	$ gcc --version
	gcc (GCC) 15.1.1 20250425

	$ gcc -Wall -Os -Werror -nostdlib -nostdinc -static -Iusr/include -Itools/include/nolibc/ -o /dev/null test.c
	test.c: In function ‘main’:
	test.c:12:9: error: ‘status’ may be used uninitialized [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
	   12 |         printf("status %x\n", status);
	      |         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
	test.c:6:18: note: ‘status’ was declared here
	    6 |         int ret, status;
	      |                  ^~~~~~
	cc1: all warnings being treated as errors

Avoid the warning by normalizing waitid() errors to '-1' in waitpid().

[ Upstream commit 4a40129087a4c32135bb1177a57bbbe6ee646f1a ]

When an error is encountered by printf() it needs to be reported.
errno() is already set by the callback.

sprintf() is different, but that keeps working and is already tested.

Also add a new test.

Some libc's like musl libc don't provide execinfo.h since it's not part of
POSIX.  In order to fix compilation on musl, only include execinfo.h if
available (HAVE_BACKTRACE_SUPPORT)

This was discovered with c104c16073b7 ("Kunit to check the longest symbol
length") which starts to include linux/kallsyms.h with Alpine Linux'
configs.

<title>uapi: bitops: use UAPI-safe variant of BITS_PER_LONG again (2)</title>

BITS_PER_LONG does not exist in UAPI headers, so can't be used by the UAPI
__GENMASK(). Instead __BITS_PER_LONG needs to be used.

When __GENMASK() was introduced in commit 3c7a8e190bc5 ("uapi: introduce uapi-friendly macros for GENMASK"),
the code was fine. A broken revert in 1e7933a575ed ("uapi: Revert "bitops: avoid integer overflow in GENMASK(_ULL)"")
introduced the incorrect usage of BITS_PER_LONG.
That was fixed in commit 11fcf368506d ("uapi: bitops: use UAPI-safe variant of BITS_PER_LONG again").
But a broken sync of the kernel headers with the tools/ headers in
commit fc92099902fb ("tools headers: Synchronize linux/bits.h with the kernel sources")
undid the fix.

Reapply the fix and while at it also fix the tools header.

This also needed to pick the __BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO_MSG() in
linux/compiler.h, that needed to be polished to avoid hitting old clang
problems with _Static_assert on arrays of structs:

  a7484c80e5ca1ae0 ("KVM: arm64: Allow userspace to request KVM_ARM_VCPU_EL2*")
  79462faa2b2aa89d ("KVM: TDX: Handle TDG.VP.VMCALL&lt;ReportFatalError&gt;")

That just rebuilds perf, as these patches don't add any new KVM ioctl to
be harvested for the the 'perf trace' ioctl syscall argument
beautifiers.
