[ Upstream commit f13242a46438e690067a4bf47068fde4d5719947 ]

Currently the mount_setattr_test fails on machines with a 64K PAGE_SIZE,
with errors such as:

  #  RUN           mount_setattr_idmapped.invalid_fd_negative ...
  mkfs.ext4: No space left on device while writing out and closing file system
  # mount_setattr_test.c:1055:invalid_fd_negative:Expected system("mkfs.ext4 -q /mnt/C/ext4.img") (256) == 0 (0)
  # invalid_fd_negative: Test terminated by assertion
  #          FAIL  mount_setattr_idmapped.invalid_fd_negative
  not ok 12 mount_setattr_idmapped.invalid_fd_negative

The code creates a 100,000 byte tmpfs:

	ASSERT_EQ(mount("testing", "/mnt", "tmpfs", MS_NOATIME | MS_NODEV,
			"size=100000,mode=700"), 0);

And then a little later creates a 2MB ext4 filesystem in that tmpfs:

	ASSERT_EQ(ftruncate(img_fd, 1024 * 2048), 0);
	ASSERT_EQ(system("mkfs.ext4 -q /mnt/C/ext4.img"), 0);

At first glance it seems like that should never work, after all 2MB is
larger than 100,000 bytes. However the filesystem image doesn't actually
occupy 2MB on "disk" (actually RAM, due to tmpfs). On 4K kernels the
ext4.img uses ~84KB of actual space (according to du), which just fits.

However on 64K PAGE_SIZE kernels the ext4.img takes at least 256KB,
which is too large to fit in the tmpfs, hence the errors.

It seems fraught to rely on the ext4.img taking less space on disk than
the allocated size, so instead create the tmpfs with a size of 2MB. With
that all 21 tests pass on 64K PAGE_SIZE kernels.

[ Upstream commit 0161bd38c24312853ed5ae9a425a1c41c4ac674a ]

On powerpc64 as shown below by readelf, vDSO functions symbols have
type NOTYPE.

$ powerpc64-linux-gnu-readelf -a arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso/vdso64.so.dbg
ELF Header:

   Num:    Value          Size Type    Bind   Vis      Ndx Name

     5: 00000000000006c0    48 NOTYPE  GLOBAL DEFAULT    8 __[...]@@LINUX_2.6.15

Symbol table '.symtab' contains 56 entries:
   Num:    Value          Size Type    Bind   Vis      Ndx Name
...
    45: 0000000000000000     0 OBJECT  GLOBAL DEFAULT  ABS LINUX_2.6.15

    47: 0000000000000524    84 NOTYPE  GLOBAL DEFAULT    8 __kernel_clock_getres

To overcome that, commit ba83b3239e65 ("selftests: vDSO: fix vDSO
symbols lookup for powerpc64") was applied to have selftests also
look for NOTYPE symbols, but the correct fix should be to flag VDSO
entry points as functions.

The original commit that brought VDSO support into powerpc/64 has the
following explanation:

    Note that the symbols exposed by the vDSO aren't "normal" function symbols, apps
    can't be expected to link against them directly, the vDSO's are both seen
    as if they were linked at 0 and the symbols just contain offsets to the
    various functions.  This is done on purpose to avoid a relocation step
    (ppc64 functions normally have descriptors with abs addresses in them).
    When glibc uses those functions, it's expected to use it's own trampolines
    that know how to reach them.

The descriptors it's talking about are the OPD function descriptors
used on ABI v1 (big endian). But it would be more correct for a text
symbol to have type function, even if there's no function descriptor
for it.

glibc has a special case already for handling the VDSO symbols which
creates a fake opd pointing at the kernel symbol. So changing the VDSO
symbol type to function shouldn't affect that.

For ABI v2, there is no function descriptors and VDSO functions can
safely have function type.

So lets flag VDSO entry points as functions and revert the
selftest change.

[ Upstream commit d9ccb18f83ea2bb654289b6ecf014fd267cc988b ]

Soft lockups have been observed on a cluster of Linux-based edge routers
located in a highly dynamic environment. Using the `bird` service, these
routers continuously update BGP-advertised routes due to frequently
changing nexthop destinations, while also managing significant IPv6
traffic. The lockups occur during the traversal of the multipath
circular linked-list in the `fib6_select_path` function, particularly
while iterating through the siblings in the list. The issue typically
arises when the nodes of the linked list are unexpectedly deleted
concurrently on a different core—indicated by their 'next' and
'previous' elements pointing back to the node itself and their reference
count dropping to zero. This results in an infinite loop, leading to a
soft lockup that triggers a system panic via the watchdog timer.

Apply RCU primitives in the problematic code sections to resolve the
issue. Where necessary, update the references to fib6_siblings to
annotate or use the RCU APIs.

Include a test script that reproduces the issue. The script
periodically updates the routing table while generating a heavy load
of outgoing IPv6 traffic through multiple iperf3 clients. It
consistently induces infinite soft lockups within a couple of minutes.

[ Upstream commit d9ccb18f83ea2bb654289b6ecf014fd267cc988b ]

Soft lockups have been observed on a cluster of Linux-based edge routers
located in a highly dynamic environment. Using the `bird` service, these
routers continuously update BGP-advertised routes due to frequently
changing nexthop destinations, while also managing significant IPv6
traffic. The lockups occur during the traversal of the multipath
circular linked-list in the `fib6_select_path` function, particularly
while iterating through the siblings in the list. The issue typically
arises when the nodes of the linked list are unexpectedly deleted
concurrently on a different core—indicated by their 'next' and
'previous' elements pointing back to the node itself and their reference
count dropping to zero. This results in an infinite loop, leading to a
soft lockup that triggers a system panic via the watchdog timer.

Apply RCU primitives in the problematic code sections to resolve the
issue. Where necessary, update the references to fib6_siblings to
annotate or use the RCU APIs.

Include a test script that reproduces the issue. The script
periodically updates the routing table while generating a heavy load
of outgoing IPv6 traffic through multiple iperf3 clients. It
consistently induces infinite soft lockups within a couple of minutes.

[ Upstream commit 937a1c29a287e8f48c4cea714c76a13e14d989ac ]

The timer_lockup test needs 2 CPUs to work, on single-CPU nodes it fails
to set thread affinity to CPU 1 since it doesn't exist:

    # ./test_progs -t timer_lockup
    test_timer_lockup:PASS:timer_lockup__open_and_load 0 nsec

    timer_lockup_thread:PASS:cpu affinity 0 nsec
    timer_lockup_thread:FAIL:cpu affinity unexpected error: 22 (errno 0)
    test_timer_lockup:PASS: 0 nsec
    #406     timer_lockup:FAIL

Skip the test if only 1 CPU is available.

1. With corking, pop/push might not be invoked in each sendmsg, it makes

total_bytes in msg_loop_rx should also take push into account, otherwise
total_bytes will be a smaller value, which makes the msg_loop_rx end early.

Besides, total_bytes has already taken pop into account, so we don't need
to subtract some bytes from iov_buf in sendmsg_test. The additional
subtraction may make total_bytes a negative number, and msg_loop_rx will
just end without checking anything.

In the SENDPAGE test, "opt-&gt;iov_length * cnt" size of data will be sent
cnt times by sendfile.
1. In push/pop tests, they will be invoked cnt times, for the simplicity of
msg_verify_data, change chunk_sz to iov_length
2. Change iov_length in test_send_large from 1024 to 8192. We have pop test
where txmsg_start_pop is 4096. 4096 &gt; 1024, an error will be returned.

[ Upstream commit 4095031463d4e99b534d2cd82035a417295764ae ]

In the SENDPAGE test, "opt-&gt;iov_length * cnt" size of data will be sent
cnt times by sendfile.
1. In push/pop tests, they will be invoked cnt times, for the simplicity of
msg_verify_data, change chunk_sz to iov_length
2. Change iov_length in test_send_large from 1024 to 8192. We have pop test
where txmsg_start_pop is 4096. 4096 &gt; 1024, an error will be returned.

Fixes: 328aa08a081b ("bpf: Selftests, break down test_sockmap into subtests")
