commit c0bb9fb0e52a64601d38b3739b729d9138d4c8a1 upstream.

Marcus and Satya reported an issue where BTF_ID macro generates same
symbol in separate objects and that breaks final vmlinux link.

  ld.lld: error: ld-temp.o &lt;inline asm&gt;:14577:1: symbol
  '__BTF_ID__struct__cgroup__624' is already defined

This can be triggered under specific configs when __COUNTER__ happens to
be the same for the same symbol in two different translation units,
which is already quite unlikely to happen.

Add __LINE__ number suffix to make BTF_ID symbol more unique, which is
not a complete fix, but it would help for now and meanwhile we can work
on better solution as suggested by Andrii.

[ Upstream commit 7cb779a6867fea00b4209bcf6de2f178a743247d ]

Commit 151e887d8ff9 ("veth: Fixing transmit return status for dropped
packets") exposed the fact that bpf_clone_redirect is capable of
returning raw NET_XMIT_XXX return codes.

This is in the conflict with its UAPI doc which says the following:
"0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure."

Update the UAPI to reflect the fact that bpf_clone_redirect can
return positive error numbers, but don't explicitly define
their meaning.

Currently, we use hard code number to verify if we are in the
arp_interval timeslice. But some user may want to reduce/extend
the verify timeslice. With the similar team option 'missed_max'
the uers could change that number based on their own environment.

commit a45b3d6926231c3d024ea0de4f7bd967f83709ee upstream.

binutils changed the signature of init_disassemble_info(), which now causes
compilation failures for tools/{perf,bpf}, e.g. on debian unstable.

Relevant binutils commit:

  https://sourceware.org/git/?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=commit;h=60a3da00bd5407f07

This commit introduces a wrapper for init_disassemble_info(), to avoid
spreading #ifdef DISASM_INIT_STYLED to a bunch of places. Subsequent
commits will use it to fix the build failures.

It likely is worth adding a wrapper for disassember(), to avoid the already
existing DISASM_FOUR_ARGS_SIGNATURE ifdefery.

commit 066b34aa5461f6072dbbecb690f4fe446b736ebf upstream.

tools/include/linux/kernel.h and kselftest_harness.h are missing
ifndef guard around ARRAY_SIZE define. Fix them to avoid duplicate
define errors during compile when another file defines it. This
problem was found when compiling selftests that include a header
with ARRAY_SIZE define.

ARRAY_SIZE is defined in several selftests. There are about 25+
duplicate defines in various selftests source and header files.
Add ARRAY_SIZE to kselftest.h in preparation for removing duplicate
ARRAY_SIZE defines from individual test files.

[ Upstream commit 184177c3d6e023da934761e198c281344d7dd65b ]

Depending on the compiler used and the optimization options, the sbrk()
test was crashing, both on real hardware (mips-24kc) and in qemu. One
such example is kernel.org toolchain in version 11.3 optimizing at -Os.

Inspecting the sys_brk() call shows the following code:

  0040047c &lt;sys_brk&gt;:
    40047c:       24020fcd        li      v0,4045
    400480:       27bdffe0        addiu   sp,sp,-32
    400484:       0000000c        syscall
    400488:       27bd0020        addiu   sp,sp,32
    40048c:       10e00001        beqz    a3,400494 &lt;sys_brk+0x18&gt;
    400490:       00021023        negu    v0,v0
    400494:       03e00008        jr      ra

It is obviously wrong, the "negu" instruction is placed in beqz's
delayed slot, and worse, there's no nop nor instruction after the
return, so the next function's first instruction (addiu sip,sip,-32)
will also be executed as part of the delayed slot that follows the
return.

This is caused by the ".set noreorder" directive in the _start block,
that applies to the whole program. The compiler emits code without the
delayed slots and relies on the compiler to swap instructions when this
option is not set. Removing the option would require to change the
startup code in a way that wouldn't make it look like the resulting
code, which would not be easy to debug. Instead let's just save the
default ordering before changing it, and restore it at the end of the
_start block. Now the code is correct:

  0040047c &lt;sys_brk&gt;:
    40047c:       24020fcd        li      v0,4045
    400480:       27bdffe0        addiu   sp,sp,-32
    400484:       0000000c        syscall
    400488:       10e00002        beqz    a3,400494 &lt;sys_brk+0x18&gt;
    40048c:       27bd0020        addiu   sp,sp,32
    400490:       00021023        negu    v0,v0
    400494:       03e00008        jr      ra
    400498:       00000000        nop

[ Upstream commit 1590c59836dace3a20945bad049fe8802c4e6f3f ]

Building with clang yields the following error:
```
  &lt;inline asm&gt;:3:1: error: _start changed binding to STB_GLOBAL
  .global _start
  ^
  1 error generated.
```
Make sure only specify one between `.global _start` and `.weak _start`.
Remove `.global _start`.
