[ 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.

<title>ktest: Run POST_KTEST hooks on failure and cancellation</title>

[ Upstream commit bc6e165a452da909cef0efbc286e6695624db372 ]

PRE_KTEST can be useful for setting up the environment and POST_KTEST to
tear it down, however POST_KTEST only runs on the normal end-of-run path.
It is skipped when ktest exits through dodie() or cancel_test(). Final
cleanup hooks are skipped.

Factor the final hook execution into run_post_ktest(), call it from the
normal exit path and from the early exit paths, and guard it so the hook
runs at most once.

<title>ktest: Honor empty per-test option overrides</title>

[ Upstream commit a2de57a3c8192dcd67cccaff6c341b93748d799b ]

A per-test override can clear an inherited default option by assigning an
empty value, but __set_test_option() still used option_defined() to decide
whether a per-test key existed. That turned an empty per-test assignment
back into "fall back to the default", so tests still could not clear
inherited settings.

For example:

  DEFAULTS
  (...)
  LOG_FILE = /tmp/ktest-empty-override.log
  CLEAR_LOG = 1
  ADD_CONFIG = /tmp/.config

  TEST_START
  TEST_TYPE = build
  BUILD_TYPE = nobuild
  ADD_CONFIG =

This would run the test with ADD_CONFIG[1] = /tmp/.config

Fix by checking whether the per-test key exists before falling back. If it
does exist but is empty, treat it as unset for that test and stop the
fallback chain there.

check_buildlog() probes $warnings_file with -f even when WARNINGS_FILE is
not configured. Perl warns about the uninitialized value and adds noise to
the test log, which can hide the output we actually care about.

Check that WARNINGS_FILE is defined before testing whether the file exists.

<title>selftest: memcg: skip memcg_sock test if address family not supported</title>

[ 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.

[ 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.

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.

[ Upstream commit 37496845c812db2a470d51088a59ee38156e8058 ]

In some powerpc/ sub-folder Makefiles, CFLAGS are defined before lib.mk
include. Clean it up by re-ordering the flags to follow after the mk
include. This is needed to support sub-folders in powerpc/ buildable on
its own.

[ Upstream commit 7d8ed51bcb32716a40d71043fcd01c4118858c51 ]

Add two tests validating that verifier's precision backtracking logic
handles BPF_ST_MEM instructions that produce fake register spill into
register slot. This is happening when non-zero constant is written
directly to a slot, e.g., *(u64 *)(r10 -8) = 123.

Add both full 64-bit register spill, as well as 32-bit "sub-spill".

[ Upstream commit 064e0bea19b356c5d5f48a4549d80a3c03ce898b ]

Enhance partial_stack_load_preserves_zeros subtest with detailed
precision propagation log checks. We know expect fp-16 to be spilled,
initially imprecise, zero const register, which is later marked as
precise even when partial stack slot load is performed, even if it's not
a register fill (!).
