[ 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

    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 dc1308bee1ed03b4d698d77c8bd670d399dcd04d ]

When running watchdog-test with 'make run_tests', the watchdog-test will
be terminated by a timeout signal(SIGTERM) due to the test timemout.

And then, a system reboot would happen due to watchdog not stop. see
the dmesg as below:
```
[ 1367.185172] watchdog: watchdog0: watchdog did not stop!
```

Fix it by registering more signals(including SIGTERM) in watchdog-test,
where its signal handler will stop the watchdog.

After that
 # timeout 1 ./watchdog-test
 Watchdog Ticking Away!
 .
 Stopping watchdog ticks...

<title>ktest.pl: Avoid false positives with grub2 skip regex</title>

[ Upstream commit 2351e8c65404aabc433300b6bf90c7a37e8bbc4d ]

Some distros have grub2 config files with the lines

    if [ x"${feature_menuentry_id}" = xy ]; then
      menuentry_id_option="--id"
    else
      menuentry_id_option=""
    fi

which match the skip regex defined for grub2 in get_grub_index():

    $skip = '^\s*menuentry';

These false positives cause the grub number to be higher than it
should be, and the wrong kernel can end up booting.

Grub documents the menuentry command with whitespace between it and the
title, so make the skip regex reflect this.

[ Upstream commit c66be905cda24fb782b91053b196bd2e966f95b7 ]

step_after_suspend_test fails with device busy error while
writing to /sys/power/state to start suspend. The test believes
it failed to enter suspend state with

$ sudo ./step_after_suspend_test
TAP version 13
Bail out! Failed to enter Suspend state

However, in the kernel message, I indeed see the system get
suspended and then wake up later.

After investigation, I noticed that for the code block
if (write(power_state_fd, "mem", strlen("mem")) != strlen("mem"))
	ksft_exit_fail_msg("Failed to enter Suspend state\n");

The write will return -1 and errno is set to 16 (device busy).
It should be caused by the write function is not successfully returned
before the system suspend and the return value get messed when waking up.
As a result, It may be better to check the time passed of those few
instructions to determine whether the suspend is executed correctly for
it is pretty hard to execute those few lines for 5 seconds.

The timer to wake up the system is set to expire after 5 seconds and
no re-arm. If the timer remaining time is 0 second and 0 nano secomd,
it means the timer expired and wake the system up. Otherwise, the system
could be considered to enter the suspend state failed if there is any
remaining time.

After appling this patch, the test would not fail for it believes the
system does not go to suspend by mistake. It now could continue to the
rest part of the test after suspend.

[ Upstream commit cacf2a5a78cd1f5f616eae043ebc6f024104b721 ]

Although the post-increment in macro 'CPU_SET(next++, &amp;cpuset)' seems safe,
the sequencing can raise compile errors, so move the increment outside the
macro. This avoids an error seen using gcc 12.3.0 for mips64el/musl-libc:

  In file included from test_lru_map.c:11:
  test_lru_map.c: In function 'sched_next_online':
  test_lru_map.c:129:29: error: operation on 'next' may be undefined [-Werror=sequence-point]

<title>selftests/sigaltstack: Fix ppc64 GCC build</title>

<id>8010e0748cca059187021d194bb6d883d159e172</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 17c743b9da9e0d073ff19fd5313f521744514939 upstream.

Building the sigaltstack test with GCC on 64-bit powerpc errors with:

  gcc -Wall     sas.c  -o /home/michael/linux/.build/kselftest/sigaltstack/sas
  In file included from sas.c:23:
  current_stack_pointer.h:22:2: error: #error "implement current_stack_pointer equivalent"
     22 | #error "implement current_stack_pointer equivalent"
        |  ^~~~~
  sas.c: In function ‘my_usr1’:
  sas.c:50:13: error: ‘sp’ undeclared (first use in this function); did you mean ‘p’?
     50 |         if (sp &lt; (unsigned long)sstack ||
        |             ^~

This happens because GCC doesn't define __ppc__ for 64-bit builds, only
32-bit builds. Instead use __powerpc__ to detect powerpc builds, which
is defined by clang and GCC for 64-bit and 32-bit builds.

[ Upstream commit f67a90a0c8f5b3d0acc18f10650d90fec44775f9 ]

Lately, an additional locking was added by commit c0a40097f0bc
("drivers: core: synchronize really_probe() and dev_uevent()"). The
locking protects dev_uevent() calling. This function is used to send
messages from the kernel to user space. Uevent messages notify user space
about changes in device states, such as when a device is added, removed,
or changed. These messages are used by udev (or other similar user-space
tools) to apply device-specific rules.

After reloading devlink instance, udev events should be processed. This
locking causes a short delay of udev events handling.

One example for useful udev rule is renaming ports. 'forwading.config'
can be configured to use names after udev rules are applied. Some tests run
devlink_reload() and immediately use the updated names. This worked before
the above mentioned commit was pushed, but now the delay of uevent messages
causes that devlink_reload() returns before udev events are handled and
tests fail.

Adjust devlink_reload() to not assume that udev events are already
processed when devlink reload is done, instead, wait for udev events to
ensure they are processed before returning from the function.

Without this patch:

This is relevant not only for this test.
