This reverts commit e7d193073a223663612301c659e53795b991ca89 which is
commit 6a2d30d3c5bf9f088dcfd5f3746b04d84f2fab83 upstream.

The dummy_st_ops/dummy_sleepable_reject_null test requires commit 980ca8ceeae6
("bpf: check bpf_dummy_struct_ops program params for test runs"), which in turn
depends on "Support PTR_MAYBE_NULL for struct_ops arguments" series (see link
below), neither are backported to stable 6.6.

This reverts commit 264451a364dba5ca6cb2878126a9798dfc0b1a06 which is
commit 3b3b84aacb4420226576c9732e7b539ca7b79633 upstream.

The updated dummy_st_ops test requires commit 1479eaff1f16 ("bpf: mark
bpf_dummy_struct_ops.test_1 parameter as nullable"), which in turn depends on
"Support PTR_MAYBE_NULL for struct_ops arguments" series (see link below),
neither are backported to stable 6.6.

Without them the kernel simply panics from null pointer dereference half way
through running BPF selftests.

debug kernel build. Increase the inter-packet timeout to allow
more slack in such environments.

commit 5e9388f7984a9cc7e659a105113f6ccf0aebedd0 upstream.

The below commit that updated BPF_MAP_TYPE_LRU_HASH free target,
also updated tools/testing/selftests/bpf/test_lru_map to match.

But that missed one case that passes with 4 cores, but fails at
higher cpu counts.

Update test_lru_sanity3 to also adjust its expectation of target_free.

This time tested with 1, 4, 16, 64 and 384 cpu count.

[ Upstream commit d4adf1c9ee7722545450608bcb095fb31512f0c6 ]

BPF_MAP_TYPE_LRU_HASH can recycle most recent elements well before the
map is full, due to percpu reservations and force shrink before
neighbor stealing. Once a CPU is unable to borrow from the global map,
it will once steal one elem from a neighbor and after that each time
flush this one element to the global list and immediately recycle it.

Batch value LOCAL_FREE_TARGET (128) will exhaust a 10K element map
with 79 CPUs. CPU 79 will observe this behavior even while its
neighbors hold 78 * 127 + 1 * 15 == 9921 free elements (99%).

CPUs need not be active concurrently. The issue can appear with
affinity migration, e.g., irqbalance. Each CPU can reserve and then
hold onto its 128 elements indefinitely.

Avoid global list exhaustion by limiting aggregate percpu caches to
half of map size, by adjusting LOCAL_FREE_TARGET based on cpu count.
This change has no effect on sufficiently large tables.

Similar to LOCAL_NR_SCANS and lru-&gt;nr_scans, introduce a map variable
lru-&gt;free_target. The extra field fits in a hole in struct bpf_lru.
The cacheline is already warm where read in the hot path. The field is
only accessed with the lru lock held.

[ Upstream commit fa6f092cc0a02d0fcee37e9e8172eda372a03d33 ]

The `name` field in `obj-&gt;externs` points into the BTF data at initial
open time. However, some functions may invalidate this after opening and
before loading (e.g. `bpf_map__set_value_size`), which results in
pointers into freed memory and undefined behavior.

The simplest solution is to simply `strdup` these strings, similar to
the `essent_name`, and free them at the same time.

In order to test this path, the `global_map_resize` BPF selftest is
modified slightly to ensure the presence of an extern, which causes this
test to fail prior to the fix. Given there isn't an obvious API or error
to test against, I opted to add this to the existing test as an aspect
of the resizing feature rather than duplicate the test.

commit f287822688eeb44ae1cf6ac45701d965efc33218 upstream.

When FRED is enabled, if the Trap Flag (TF) is set without an external
debugger attached, it can lead to an infinite loop in the SIGTRAP
handler.  To avoid this, the software event flag in the augmented SS
must be cleared, ensuring that no single-step trap remains pending when
ERETU completes.

This test checks for that specific scenario—verifying whether the kernel
correctly prevents an infinite SIGTRAP loop in this edge case when FRED
is enabled.

The test should _always_ pass with IDT event delivery, thus no need to
disable the test even when FRED is not enabled.

[ Upstream commit 797002deed03491215a352ace891749b39741b69 ]

The inconsistencies in the systcall ABI between arm and arm-compat can
can cause a failure in the syscall_restart test due to the logic
attempting to work around the differences. The 'machine' field for an
ARM64 device running in compat mode can report 'armv8l' or 'armv8b'
which matches with the string 'arm' when only examining the first three
characters of the string.

This change adds additional validation to the workaround logic to make
sure we only take the arm path when running natively, not in arm-compat.

[ Upstream commit d9e9f6d7b7d0c520bb87f19d2cbc57aeeb2091d5 ]

Attempts to replace an MDB group membership of the host itself are
currently bounced:

 # ip link add name br up type bridge vlan_filtering 1
 # bridge mdb replace dev br port br grp 239.0.0.1 vid 2
 # bridge mdb replace dev br port br grp 239.0.0.1 vid 2
 Error: bridge: Group is already joined by host.

A similar operation done on a member port would succeed. Ignore the check
for replacement of host group memberships as well.

The bit of code that this enables is br_multicast_host_join(), which, for
already-joined groups only refreshes the MC group expiration timer, which
is desirable; and a userspace notification, also desirable.

Change a selftest that exercises this code path from expecting a rejection
to expecting a pass. The rest of MDB selftests pass without modification.
