commit 63c49efc987afefc6b9bb7de083eb8748e0b1789 upstream.

Replace bpf_strlcpy() in bpf_util.h with a sized_strscpy(), which is a
simplified sized_strscpy() from the kernel (lib/string.c [1]). It:
  * takes a count (destination size) parameter
  * guarantees NULL-termination
  * returns the number of characters copied or -E2BIG

Re-define strscpy macro similar to in-kernel implementation [2]: allow
the count parameter to be optional.

Add #ifdef-s to tools/include/linux/args.h, as they may be defined in
other system headers (for example, __CONCAT in sys/cdefs.h).

Fixup the single existing bpf_strlcpy() call in cgroup_helpers.c

commit 9a6a6a3191574a01dcf7a7d9385246d7bc8736bc upstream.

Commit 857d18f23ab1 ("cleanup: Introduce ACQUIRE() and ACQUIRE_ERR() for
conditional locks") accidentally broke the radix tree, VMA userland tests
by including linux/args.h which is not present in the tools/include
directory.

This patch copies this over and adds an #ifdef block to avoid duplicate
__CONCAT declaration in conflict with system headers when we ultimately
include this.

[ Upstream commit 7d8296b250f2eed73f1758607926d4d258dea5d4 ]

Avoid open-coding that simple expression each time by moving
BYTES_TO_BITS() from the probes code to &lt;linux/bitops.h&gt; to export
it to the rest of the kernel.
Simplify the macro while at it. `BITS_PER_LONG / sizeof(long)` always
equals to %BITS_PER_BYTE, regardless of the target architecture.
Do the same for the tools ecosystem as well (incl. its version of
bitops.h). The previous implementation had its implicit type of long,
while the new one is int, so adjust the format literal accordingly in
the perf code.

<title>bpf: Check tail zero of bpf_prog_info</title>

[ Upstream commit 786be2b05980a5828e67fc564ad7517e2adbe9bd ]

Since there're 4 bytes padding at the end of struct bpf_prog_info, they
won't be checked by bpf_check_uarg_tail_zero().

pahole -C bpf_prog_info ./vmlinux
struct bpf_prog_info {
	...
	__u32                      attach_btf_obj_id;    /*   220     4 */
	__u32                      attach_btf_id;        /*   224     4 */

	/* size: 232, cachelines: 4, members: 38 */
	/* sum members: 224 */
	/* sum bitfield members: 1 bits, bit holes: 1, sum bit holes: 31 bits */
	/* padding: 4 */
	/* forced alignments: 9 */
	/* last cacheline: 40 bytes */
} __attribute__((__aligned__(8)));

If a future kernel extension adds a new 4-byte field, older userspace
programs allocating this structure on the stack might inadvertently pass
uninitialized stack garbage into the new field, permanently breaking
backward compatibility. -- sashiko [1]

Fix it by changing sizeof(info) to
offsetofend(struct bpf_prog_info, attach_btf_id).

And, add "__u32 :32" to the tail of struct bpf_prog_info.

Fix this by including linux/kernel.h, which provides the required

The issue was not found on the mainline due to the relevant C files have
included kernel.h.  It'd be good to merge this change on mainline
as well for robustness.

Fix this by including linux/kernel.h, which provides the required
definitions.

The issue was not found on the mainline due to the relevant C files have
included kernel.h.  It'd be good to merge this change on mainline
as well for robustness.

[ Upstream commit c485ca3aff2442adea4c08ceb5183e671ebed22a ]

There is no errno variable when NOLIBC_IGNORE_ERRNO is defined. As such,
simply print the message with "unknown error" rather than the integer
value of errno.

small_const_nbits is defined in asm-generic/bitsperlong.h which
bitmap.h uses but doesn't include causing build failures in some build
systems. Add the missing #include.

Note the bitmap.h in tools has diverged from that of the kernel, so no
changes are made there.

<title>tools/nolibc: make time_t robust if __kernel_old_time_t is missing in host headers</title>

[ Upstream commit 0ff52df6b32a6b04a7c9dfe3d7a387aff215b482 ]

Commit d5094bcb5bfd ("tools/nolibc: define time_t in terms of
__kernel_old_time_t") made nolibc use the kernel's time type so that
`time_t` matches `timespec::tv_sec` on all ABIs (notably x32).

But since __kernel_old_time_t is fairly new, notably from 2020 in commit
94c467ddb273 ("y2038: add __kernel_old_timespec and __kernel_old_time_t"),
nolibc builds that rely on host headers may fail.

Switch to __kernel_time_t, which is the same as __kernel_old_time_t and
has existed for longer.

Tested in PPC VM of Open Source Lab of Oregon State University
(./tools/testing/selftests/rcutorture/bin/mkinitrd.sh)

<title>bonding: Add independent control state machine</title>

[ Upstream commit 240fd405528bbf7fafa0559202ca7aa524c9cd96 ]

Add support for the independent control state machine per IEEE
802.1AX-2008 5.4.15 in addition to the existing implementation of the
coupled control state machine.

Introduces two new states, AD_MUX_COLLECTING and AD_MUX_DISTRIBUTING in
the LACP MUX state machine for separated handling of an initial
Collecting state before the Collecting and Distributing state. This
enables a port to be in a state where it can receive incoming packets
while not still distributing. This is useful for reducing packet loss when
a port begins distributing before its partner is able to collect.

Added new functions such as bond_set_slave_tx_disabled_flags and
bond_set_slave_rx_enabled_flags to precisely manage the port's collecting
and distributing states. Previously, there was no dedicated method to
disable TX while keeping RX enabled, which this patch addresses.

Note that the regular flow process in the kernel's bonding driver remains
unaffected by this patch. The extension requires explicit opt-in by the
user (in order to ensure no disruptions for existing setups) via netlink
support using the new bonding parameter coupled_control. The default value
for coupled_control is set to 1 so as to preserve existing behaviour.
