[ Upstream commit 45677c9aebe926192e59475b35a1ff35ff2d4217 ]

The "no_handler_test" in ebb selftests attempts to read the PMU
registers twice via helper function "dump_ebb_state". First dump is
just before closing of event and the second invocation is done after
closing of the event. The original intention of second
dump_ebb_state was to dump the state of registers at the end of
the test when the counters are frozen. But this will be achieved
with the first call itself since sample period is set to low value
and PMU will be frozen by then. Hence patch removes the
dump which was done before closing of the event.

[ Upstream commit 3337bf41e0dd70b4064cdf60acdfcdc2d050066c ]

An extra count on ebb_state.stats.pmc_count[PMC_INDEX(pmc)] is being per-
formed when count_pmc() is used to reset PMCs on a few selftests. This
extra pmc_count can occasionally invalidate results, such as the ones from
cycles_test shown hereafter. The ebb_check_count() failed with an above
the upper limit error due to the extra value on ebb_state.stats.pmc_count.

Furthermore, this extra count is also indicated by extra PMC1 trace_log on
the output of the cycle test (as well as on pmc56_overflow_test):

[ Upstream commit dfa03fff86027e58c8dba5c03ae68150d4e513ad ]

The size of the CPU affinity mask must be large enough for
systems with a very large number of CPUs. Otherwise, tests
which try to determine the first online CPU by calling
sched_getaffinity() will fail. This makes sure that the size
of the allocated affinity mask is dependent on the number of
CPUs as reported by get_nprocs_conf().

[ Upstream commit 7c27a26e1ed5a7dd709aa19685d2c98f64e1cf0c ]

There are some powerpc selftests, as tm/tm-unavailable, that run for a long
period (&gt;120 seconds), and if it is interrupted, as pressing CRTL-C
(SIGINT), the foreground process (harness) dies but the child process and
threads continue to execute (with PPID = 1 now) in background.

In this case, you'd think the whole test exited, but there are remaining
threads and processes being executed in background. Sometimes these
zombies processes are doing annoying things, as consuming the whole CPU or
dumping things to STDOUT.

This patch fixes this problem by attaching an empty signal handler to
SIGINT in the harness process. This handler will interrupt (EINTR) the
parent process waitpid() call, letting the code to follow through the
normal flow, which will kill all the processes in the child process group.

This patch also fixes a typo.

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit cd4a6f3ab4d80cb919d15897eb3cbc85c2009d4b ]

The subpage_prot syscall is only functional when the system is using
the Hash MMU. Since commit 5b2b80714796 ("powerpc/mm: Invalidate
subpage_prot() system call on radix platforms") it returns ENOENT when
the Radix MMU is active. Currently this just makes the test fail.

Additionally the syscall is not available if the kernel is built with
4K pages, or if CONFIG_PPC_SUBPAGE_PROT=n, in which case it returns
ENOSYS because the syscall is missing entirely.

So check explicitly for ENOENT and ENOSYS and skip if we see either of
those.

[ Upstream commit cd4a6f3ab4d80cb919d15897eb3cbc85c2009d4b ]

The subpage_prot syscall is only functional when the system is using
the Hash MMU. Since commit 5b2b80714796 ("powerpc/mm: Invalidate
subpage_prot() system call on radix platforms") it returns ENOENT when
the Radix MMU is active. Currently this just makes the test fail.

Additionally the syscall is not available if the kernel is built with
4K pages, or if CONFIG_PPC_SUBPAGE_PROT=n, in which case it returns
ENOSYS because the syscall is missing entirely.

So check explicitly for ENOENT and ENOSYS and skip if we see either of
those.

[ Upstream commit fe06fe860250a4f01d0eaf70a2563b1997174a74 ]

The tm-resched-dscr test has started failing sometimes, depending on
what compiler it's built with, eg:

  test: tm_resched_dscr
  Check DSCR TM context switch: tm-resched-dscr: tm-resched-dscr.c:76: test_body: Assertion `rv' failed.
  !! child died by signal 6

When it fails we see that the compiler doesn't initialise rv to 1 before
entering the inline asm block. Although that's counter intuitive, it
is allowed because we tell the compiler that the inline asm will write
to rv (using "=r"), meaning the original value is irrelevant.

Marking it as a read/write parameter would presumably work, but it seems
simpler to fix it by setting the initial value of rv in the inline asm.

Fixes: 96d016108640 ("powerpc: Correct DSCR during TM context switch")

[ Upstream commit a6d8a21596df041f36f4c2ccc260c459e3e851f1 ]

Tests under alignment subdirectory are skipped when executed on previous
generation hardware, but harness still marks them as failed.

  test: test_copy_unaligned
  tags: git_version:unknown
  [SKIP] Test skipped on line 26
  skip: test_copy_unaligned
  selftests: copy_unaligned [FAIL]

The MAGIC_SKIP_RETURN_VALUE value assigned to rc variable is retained till
the program exit which causes the test to be marked as failed.

This patch resets the value before returning to the main() routine.
With this patch the test o/p is as follows:

  test: test_copy_unaligned
  tags: git_version:unknown
  [SKIP] Test skipped on line 26
  skip: test_copy_unaligned
  selftests: copy_unaligned [PASS]
