[ Upstream commit 7fd7ad6f36af36f30a06d165eff3780cb139fa79 ]

These tests:
    "SOCK_STREAM ioctl(SIOCOUTQ) 0 unsent bytes"
    "SOCK_SEQPACKET ioctl(SIOCOUTQ) 0 unsent bytes"
output: "Unexpected 'SIOCOUTQ' value, expected 0, got 64 (CLIENT)".

They test that the SIOCOUTQ ioctl reports 0 unsent bytes after the data
have been received by the other side. However, sometimes there is a delay
in updating this "unsent bytes" counter, and the test fails even though
the counter properly goes to 0 several milliseconds later.

The delay occurs in the kernel because the used buffer notification
callback virtio_vsock_tx_done(), called upon receipt of the data by the
other side, doesn't update the counter itself. It delegates that to
a kernel thread (via vsock-&gt;tx_work). Sometimes that thread is delayed
more than the test expects.

Change the test to poll SIOCOUTQ until it returns 0 or a timeout occurs.

[ Upstream commit 97c4e094a4b2edbb4fffeda718f8e806f825a18f ]

netdev_bind_rx takes ownership of the queue array passed as parameter
and frees it, so a queue array buffer cannot be reused across multiple
netdev_bind_rx calls.

This commit fixes that by always passing in a newly created queue array
to all netdev_bind_rx calls in ncdevmem.

commit 7a9b709e7cc5ce1ffb84ce07bf6d157e1de758df upstream.

Below are the tests added for Indirect Target Selection (ITS):

- its_sysfs.py - Check if sysfs reflects the correct mitigation status for
  the mitigation selected via the kernel cmdline.

- its_permutations.py - tests mitigation selection with cmdline
  permutations with other bugs like spectre_v2 and retbleed.

- its_indirect_alignment.py - verifies that for addresses in
  .retpoline_sites section that belong to lower half of cacheline are
  patched to ITS-safe thunk. Typical output looks like below:

  Site 49: function symbol: __x64_sys_restart_syscall+0x1f &lt;0xffffffffbb1509af&gt;
  #     vmlinux: 0xffffffff813509af:    jmp     0xffffffff81f5a8e0
  #     kcore:   0xffffffffbb1509af:    jmpq    *%rax
  #     ITS thunk NOT expected for site 49
  #     PASSED: Found *%rax
  #
  Site 50: function symbol: __resched_curr+0xb0 &lt;0xffffffffbb181910&gt;
  #     vmlinux: 0xffffffff81381910:    jmp     0xffffffff81f5a8e0
  #     kcore:   0xffffffffbb181910:    jmp     0xffffffffc02000fc
  #     ITS thunk expected for site 50
  #     PASSED: Found 0xffffffffc02000fc -&gt; jmpq *%rax &lt;scattered-thunk?&gt;

- its_ret_alignment.py - verifies that for addresses in .return_sites
  section that belong to lower half of cacheline are patched to
  its_return_thunk. Typical output looks like below:

  Site 97: function symbol: collect_event+0x48 &lt;0xffffffffbb007f18&gt;
  #     vmlinux: 0xffffffff81207f18:    jmp     0xffffffff81f5b500
  #     kcore:   0xffffffffbb007f18:    jmp     0xffffffffbbd5b560
  #     PASSED: Found jmp 0xffffffffbbd5b560 &lt;its_return_thunk&gt;
  #
  Site 98: function symbol: collect_event+0xa4 &lt;0xffffffffbb007f74&gt;
  #     vmlinux: 0xffffffff81207f74:    jmp     0xffffffff81f5b500
  #     kcore:   0xffffffffbb007f74:    retq
  #     PASSED: Found retq

Some of these tests have dependency on tools like virtme-ng[1] and drgn[2].
When the dependencies are not met, the test will be skipped.

<title>selftests/mm: fix build break when compiling pkey_util.c</title>

commit 22adb528621ddc92f887882a658507fbf88a5214 upstream.

Commit 50910acd6f615 ("selftests/mm: use sys_pkey helpers consistently")
added a pkey_util.c to refactor some of the protection_keys functions
accessible by other tests.  But this broken the build in powerpc in two
ways,

pkey-powerpc.h: In function `arch_is_powervm':
pkey-powerpc.h:73:21: error: storage size of `buf' isn't known
   73 |         struct stat buf;
      |                     ^~~
pkey-powerpc.h:75:14: error: implicit declaration of function `stat'; did you mean `strcat'? [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
   75 |         if ((stat("/sys/firmware/devicetree/base/ibm,partition-name", &amp;buf) == 0) &amp;&amp;
      |              ^~~~
      |              strcat

Since pkey_util.c includes pkeys-helper.h, which in turn includes pkeys-powerpc.h,
stat.h including is missing for "struct stat". This is fixed by adding "sys/stat.h"
in pkeys-powerpc.h

Secondly,

pkey-powerpc.h:55:18: warning: format `%llx' expects argument of type `long long unsigned int', but argument 3 has type `u64' {aka `long unsigned int'} [-Wformat=]
   55 |         dprintf4("%s() changing %016llx to %016llx\n",
      |                  ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

      |                                ^~~~

These format specifier related warning are removed by adding
"__SANE_USERSPACE_TYPES__" to pkeys_utils.c.

commit 8cf6ecb18baac867585fe1cba5dde6dbf3b6d29a upstream.

The compiler is unaware of the size of code generated by the ".rept"
assembler directive.  This results in the compiler emitting branch
instructions where the offset to branch to exceeds the maximum allowed
value, resulting in build failures like the following:

  CC       protection_keys
  /tmp/ccypKWAE.s: Assembler messages:
  /tmp/ccypKWAE.s:2073: Error: operand out of range (0x0000000000020158
  is not between 0xffffffffffff8000 and 0x0000000000007ffc)
  /tmp/ccypKWAE.s:2509: Error: operand out of range (0x0000000000020130
  is not between 0xffffffffffff8000 and 0x0000000000007ffc)

Fix the issue by manually adding nop instructions using the preprocessor.

  CC       protection_keys

  is not between 0xffffffffffff8000 and 0x0000000000007ffc)

Fix the issue by manually adding nop instructions using the preprocessor.

<title>selftests/mm: compaction_test: support platform with huge mount of memory</title>

commit ab00ddd802f80e31fc9639c652d736fe3913feae upstream.

When running mm selftest to verify mm patches, 'compaction_test' case
failed on an x86 server with 1TB memory.  And the root cause is that it
has too much free memory than what the test supports.

The test case tries to allocate 100000 huge pages, which is about 200 GB
for that x86 server, and when it succeeds, it expects it's large than 1/3
of 80% of the free memory in system.  This logic only works for platform
with 750 GB ( 200 / (1/3) / 80% ) or less free memory, and may raise false
alarm for others.

Fix it by changing the fixed page number to self-adjustable number
according to the real number of free memory.

<title>selftests/mincore: Allow read-ahead pages to reach the end of the file</title>

[ Upstream commit 197c1eaa7ba633a482ed7588eea6fd4aa57e08d4 ]

When running the mincore_selftest on a system with an XFS file system, it
failed the "check_file_mmap" test case due to the read-ahead pages reaching
the end of the file. The failure log is as below:

   RUN           global.check_file_mmap ...
  mincore_selftest.c:264:check_file_mmap:Expected i (1024) &lt; vec_size (1024)
  mincore_selftest.c:265:check_file_mmap:Read-ahead pages reached the end of the file
  check_file_mmap: Test failed
           FAIL  global.check_file_mmap

This is because the read-ahead window size of the XFS file system on this
machine is 4 MB, which is larger than the size from the #PF address to the
end of the file. As a result, all the pages for this file are populated.

  blockdev --getra /dev/nvme0n1p5
    8192
  blockdev --getbsz /dev/nvme0n1p5
    512

This issue can be fixed by extending the current FILE_SIZE 4MB to a larger
number, but it will still fail if the read-ahead window size of the file
system is larger enough. Additionally, in the real world, read-ahead pages
reaching the end of the file can happen and is an expected behavior.
Therefore, allowing read-ahead pages to reach the end of the file is a
better choice for the "check_file_mmap" test case.

<title>selftests/bpf: Fix stdout race condition in traffic monitor</title>

[ Upstream commit b99f27e90268b1a814c13f8bd72ea1db448ea257 ]

Fix a race condition between the main test_progs thread and the traffic
monitoring thread. The traffic monitor thread tries to print a line
using multiple printf and use flockfile() to prevent the line from being
torn apart. Meanwhile, the main thread doing io redirection can reassign
or close stdout when going through tests. A deadlock as shown below can
happen.

       main                      traffic_monitor_thread
       ====                      ======================
                                 show_transport()
                                 -&gt; flockfile(stdout)

stdio_hijack_init()
-&gt; stdout = open_memstream(log_buf, log_cnt);
   ...
   env.subtest_state-&gt;stdout_saved = stdout;

                                    ...
                                    funlockfile(stdout)
stdio_restore_cleanup()
-&gt; fclose(env.subtest_state-&gt;stdout_saved);

After the traffic monitor thread lock stdout, A new memstream can be
assigned to stdout by the main thread. Therefore, the traffic monitor
thread later will not be able to unlock the original stdout. As the
main thread tries to access the old stdout, it will hang indefinitely
as it is still locked by the traffic monitor thread.

The deadlock can be reproduced by running test_progs repeatedly with
traffic monitor enabled:

for ((i=1;i&lt;=100;i++)); do
  ./test_progs -a flow_dissector_skb* -m '*'
done

Fix this by only calling printf once and remove flockfile()/funlockfile().
