[ Upstream commit b960430ea8862ef37ce53c8bf74a8dc79d3f2404 ]

bpf_bprintf_prepare() only needs ASCII parsing for conversion
specifiers. Plain text can safely carry bytes &gt;= 0x80, so allow
UTF-8 literals outside '%' sequences while keeping ASCII control
bytes rejected and format specifiers ASCII-only.

This keeps existing parsing rules for format directives unchanged,
while allowing helpers such as bpf_trace_printk() to emit UTF-8
literal text.

Update test_snprintf_negative() in the same commit so selftests keep
matching the new plain-text vs format-specifier split during bisection.

[ Upstream commit 2d028f3e4bbbfd448928a8d3d2814b0b04c214f4 ]

The test_memcg_sock test in memcontrol.c sets up an IPv6 socket and send
data over it to consume memory and verify that memory.stat.sock and
memory.current values are close.

On systems where IPv6 isn't enabled or not configured to support
SOCK_STREAM, the test_memcg_sock test always fails.  When the socket()
call fails, there is no way we can test the memory consumption and verify
the above claim.  I believe it is better to just skip the test in this
case instead of reporting a test failure hinting that there may be
something wrong with the memcg code.

<title>selftests/mm: skip migration tests if NUMA is unavailable</title>

[ Upstream commit 54218f10dfbe88c8e41c744fd45a756cde60b8c4 ]

Currently, the migration test asserts that numa_available() returns 0.  On
systems where NUMA is not available (returning -1), such as certain ARM64
configurations or single-node systems, this assertion fails and crashes
the test.

Update the test to check the return value of numa_available().  If it is
less than 0, skip the test gracefully instead of failing.

This aligns the behavior with other MM selftests (like rmap) that skip
when NUMA support is missing.

<title>bpf: Relax scalar id equivalence for state pruning</title>

[ Upstream commit b0388bafa4949bd30af7b3be5ee415f2a25ac014 ]

Scalar register IDs are used by the verifier to track relationships
between registers and enable bounds propagation across those
relationships. Once an ID becomes singular (i.e. only a single
register/stack slot carries it), it can no longer contribute to bounds
propagation and effectively becomes stale. The previous commit makes the
verifier clear such ids before caching the state.

When comparing the current and cached states for pruning, these stale
IDs can cause technically equivalent states to be considered different
and thus prevent pruning.

For example, in the selftest added in the next commit, two registers -
r6 and r7 are not linked to any other registers and get cached with
id=0, in the current state, they are both linked to each other with
id=A.  Before this commit, check_scalar_ids would give temporary ids to
r6 and r7 (say tid1 and tid2) and then check_ids() would map tid1-&gt;A,
and when it would see tid2-&gt;A, it would not consider these state
equivalent.

Relax scalar ID equivalence by treating rold-&gt;id == 0 as "independent":
if the old state did not rely on any ID relationships for a register,
then any ID/linking present in the current state only adds constraints
and is always safe to accept for pruning. Implement this by returning
true immediately in check_scalar_ids() when old_id == 0.

Maintain correctness for the opposite direction (old_id != 0 &amp;&amp; cur_id
== 0) by still allocating a temporary ID for cur_id == 0. This avoids
incorrectly allowing multiple independent current registers (id==0) to
satisfy a single linked old ID during mapping.

[ Upstream commit 6e65886fceb23605eff952d6b1975737b4c4b154 ]

GCC 15 reports the below false positive '-Wmaybe-uninitialized' warning
in vphn_unpack_associativity() when building the powerpc selftests.

  cc1: all warnings being treated as errors

When vphn_unpack_associativity() is called from hcall_vphn() in kernel
the error is not seen while building vphn.c during kernel compilation.
This is because the top level Makefile includes '-fno-strict-aliasing'
flag always.

The issue here is that GCC 15 emits '-Wmaybe-uninitialized' due to type
punning between __be64[] and __b16* when accessing the buffer via
be16_to_cpup(). The underlying object is fully initialized but GCC 15
fails to track the aliasing due to the strict aliasing violation here.
Please refer [1] and [2]. This results in a false positive warning which
is promoted to an error under '-Werror'. This problem is not seen when
the compilation is performed with GCC 13 and 14. An issue [1] has also
been created on GCC bugzilla.

The selftest compiles fine with '-fno-strict-aliasing'. Since this GCC
flag is used to compile vphn.c in kernel too, the same flag should be
used to build vphn tests when compiling vphn.c in the selftest as well.

Fix this by including '-fno-strict-aliasing' during vphn.c compilation
in the selftest. This keeps the build working while limiting the scope
of the suppression to building vphn tests.

<title>selftests: mptcp: pm: restrict 'unknown' check to pm_nl_ctl</title>

commit 53705ddfa18408f8e1f064331b6387509fa19f7f upstream.

When pm_netlink.sh is executed with '-i', 'ip mptcp' is used instead of
'pm_nl_ctl'. IPRoute2 doesn't support the 'unknown' flag, which has only
been added to 'pm_nl_ctl' for this specific check: to ensure that the
kernel ignores such unsupported flag.

No reason to add this flag to 'ip mptcp'. Then, this check should be
skipped when 'ip mptcp' is used.

commit 65db7b27b90e2ea8d4966935aa9a50b6a60c31ac upstream.

Using '${?}' inside the if-statement to check the returned value from
the command that was evaluated as part of the if-statement is not
correct: here, '${?}' will be linked to the previous instruction, not
the one that is expected here (${cmd}).

Instead, simply mark the error, except if an error is expected. If
that's the case, 1 can be passed as the 4th argument of this helper.
Three checks from pm_netlink.sh expect an error.

While at it, improve the error message when the command unexpectedly
fails or succeeds.

Note that we could expect a specific returned value, but the checks
currently expecting an error can be used with 'ip mptcp' or 'pm_nl_ctl',
and these two tools don't return the same error code.
