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

[ Upstream commit 32b0b8953343eaceaa816a9ead3b6bb66355c64e ]

When an 802.3ad (LACP) bonding interface has no slaves in the
collecting/distributing state, the bonding master still reports
carrier as up as long as at least 'min_links' slaves have carrier.

In this situation, only one slave is effectively used for TX/RX,
while traffic received on other slaves is dropped. Upper-layer
daemons therefore consider the interface operational, even though
traffic may be blackholed if the lack of LACP negotiation means
the partner is not ready to deal with traffic.

Introduce a configuration knob to control this behavior. It allows
the bonding master to assert carrier only when at least 'min_links'
slaves are in Collecting_Distributing state.

The default mode preserves the existing behavior. This patch only
introduces the knob; its behavior is implemented in the subsequent
commit.

[ 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.

[ Upstream commit 136ca91411b0b637e862eb7b1cce2a56853edd17 ]

Running clang-tidy on a program that uses getopt() from nolibc
this warning appears:

getopt.h:80:6: warning: Out of bound access to memory after the end of the string literal [clang-analyzer-security.ArrayBound]
80 |         if (optstring[i] == ':') {

This looks like a very unlikely case that an argument
inside of argv is being changed between getopt() calls.

Adding a check for d becoming 0 in the guard after the loop
stops getopt() getting far enough to access beyond the end
of the array and seems to correct the issue.

[ Upstream commit 4045e7b19bbf7338452cda11e64cfe7ae3361964 ]

Move output truncation to the snprintf() callback.
This simplifies the main code and fixes truncation of padded fields.

Add a zero length callback to 'finalise' the buffer rather than
doing it in snprintf() itself.

Move output truncation to the snprintf() callback.
This simplifies the main code and fixes truncation of padded fields.

Add a zero length callback to 'finalise' the buffer rather than
doing it in snprintf() itself.

[ Upstream commit f675ae28fcdf7db93a8c1a6964f062725b1e06a0 ]

Changing 'c' makes the code slightly easier to read because the variable
stands out from the single character literals (especially 'c').

Change tmpbuf[] to outbuf[] because 'out' points into it.

The following patches pretty much rewrite the function so the
churn is limited.

[ Upstream commit a537c0da168a08b0b6a7f7bd9e75f4cc8d45ff57 ]

A perf build failure was reported by Thomas Voegtle on stable kernel
v6.6.120:

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.
