[ Upstream commit dea8cfcc33695f70f56023b416cf88ae44c8a45a ]

Commit 48a1f565261d2ab1 ("perf script python: Add more PMU fields to
event handler dict") added functionality to report fields like weight,
iregs, uregs etc via perf report.  That commit predefined buffer size to
512 bytes to print those fields.

But in PowerPC, since we added extended regs support in:

  068aeea3773a6f4c ("perf powerpc: Support exposing Performance Monitor Counter SPRs as part of extended regs")
  d735599a069f6936 ("powerpc/perf: Add extended regs support for power10 platform")

Now iregs can carry more bytes of data and this predefined buffer size
can result to data loss in perf script output.

This patch resolves this issue by making the buffer size dynamic, based
on the number of registers needed to print. It also changes the
regs_map() return type from int to void, as it is not being used by the
set_regs_in_dict(), its only caller.

[ Upstream commit 45677c9aebe926192e59475b35a1ff35ff2d4217 ]

The "no_handler_test" in ebb selftests attempts to read the PMU
registers twice via helper function "dump_ebb_state". First dump is
just before closing of event and the second invocation is done after
closing of the event. The original intention of second
dump_ebb_state was to dump the state of registers at the end of
the test when the counters are frozen. But this will be achieved
with the first call itself since sample period is set to low value
and PMU will be frozen by then. Hence patch removes the
dump which was done before closing of the event.

[ Upstream commit 0d3e5a057992bdc66e4dca2ca50b77fa4a7bd90e ]

This test will require /dev/rtc0, the default RTC device, or one
specified by user to run. Since this default RTC is not guaranteed to
exist on all of the devices, so check its existence first, otherwise
skip this test with the kselftest skip code 4.

Without this patch this test will fail like this on a s390x zVM:
$ selftests: timers: rtcpie
$ /dev/rtc0: No such file or directory
not ok 1 selftests: timers: rtcpie # exit=22

With this patch:
$ selftests: timers: rtcpie
$ Default RTC /dev/rtc0 does not exist. Test Skipped!
not ok 9 selftests: timers: rtcpie # SKIP

Fixed up change log so "With this patch" text doesn't get dropped.

commit 1421ec684a43379b2aa3cfda20b03d38282dc990 upstream.

Resctrl test suite accepts command line argument "-t" to specify the
unit tests to run in the test list (e.g., -t mbm,mba,cmt,cat) as
documented in the help.

When calling strtok() to parse the option, the incorrect delimiters
argument ":\t" is used. As a result, passing "-t mbm,mba,cmt,cat" throws
an invalid option error.

Fix this by using delimiters argument "," instead of ":\t" for parsing
of unit tests list. At the same time, remove the unnecessary "spaces"
between the unit tests in help documentation to prevent confusion.

Several tests do not set some ports down as part of their cleanup(),
resulting in IPv6 link-local addresses and associated routes not being
deleted.

These leaks were found using a BPF tool that monitors ASIC resources.

Solve this by setting the ports down at the end of the tests.

<title>selftests/vm/pkeys: refill shadow register after implicit kernel write</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 6039ca254979694c5362dfebadd105e286c397bb ]

The pkey test code keeps a "shadow" of the pkey register around.  This
ensures that any bugs which might write to the register can be caught more
quickly.

Generally, userspace has a good idea when the kernel is going to write to
the register.  For instance, alloc_pkey() is passed a permission mask.
The caller of alloc_pkey() can update the shadow based on the return value
and the mask.

But, the kernel can also modify the pkey register in a more sneaky way.
For mprotect(PROT_EXEC) mappings, the kernel will allocate a pkey and
write the pkey register to create an execute-only mapping.  The kernel
never tells userspace what key it uses for this.

This can cause the test to fail with messages like:

	protection_keys_64.2: pkey-helpers.h:132: _read_pkey_reg: Assertion `pkey_reg == shadow_pkey_reg' failed.

because the shadow was not updated with the new kernel-set value.

Forcibly update the shadow value immediately after an mprotect().

[ Upstream commit 6039ca254979694c5362dfebadd105e286c397bb ]

The pkey test code keeps a "shadow" of the pkey register around.  This
ensures that any bugs which might write to the register can be caught more
quickly.

Generally, userspace has a good idea when the kernel is going to write to
the register.  For instance, alloc_pkey() is passed a permission mask.
The caller of alloc_pkey() can update the shadow based on the return value
and the mask.

But, the kernel can also modify the pkey register in a more sneaky way.
For mprotect(PROT_EXEC) mappings, the kernel will allocate a pkey and
write the pkey register to create an execute-only mapping.  The kernel
never tells userspace what key it uses for this.

This can cause the test to fail with messages like:

	protection_keys_64.2: pkey-helpers.h:132: _read_pkey_reg: Assertion `pkey_reg == shadow_pkey_reg' failed.

because the shadow was not updated with the new kernel-set value.

Forcibly update the shadow value immediately after an mprotect().

[ Upstream commit bf68294a2ec39ed7fec6a5b45d52034e6983157a ]

The alloc_pkey() sefltest function wraps the sys_pkey_alloc() system call.
On success, it updates its "shadow" register value because
sys_pkey_alloc() updates the real register.

But, the success check is wrong.  pkey_alloc() considers any non-zero
return code to indicate success where the pkey register will be modified.
This fails to take negative return codes into account.

Consider only a positive return value as a successful call.

<title>selftests/vm/pkeys: fix alloc_random_pkey() to make it really, really random</title>

[ Upstream commit f36ef407628835a7d7fb3d235b1f1aac7022d9a3 ]

Patch series "selftests/vm/pkeys: Bug fixes and a new test".

There has been a lot of activity on the x86 front around the XSAVE
architecture which is used to context-switch processor state (among other
things).  In addition, AMD has recently joined the protection keys club by
adding processor support for PKU.

The AMD implementation helped uncover a kernel bug around the PKRU "init
state", which actually applied to Intel's implementation but was just
harder to hit.  This series adds a test which is expected to help find
this class of bug both on AMD and Intel.  All the work around pkeys on x86
also uncovered a few bugs in the selftest.

This patch (of 4):

The "random" pkey allocation code currently does the good old:

	srand((unsigned int)time(NULL));

*But*, it unfortunately does this on every random pkey allocation.

There may be thousands of these a second.  time() has a one second
resolution.  So, each time alloc_random_pkey() is called, the PRNG is
*RESET* to time().  This is nasty.  Normally, if you do:

	srand(&lt;ANYTHING&gt;);
	foo = rand();
	bar = rand();

You'll be quite guaranteed that 'foo' and 'bar' are different.  But, if
you do:

	srand(1);
	foo = rand();
	srand(1);
	bar = rand();

You are quite guaranteed that 'foo' and 'bar' are the *SAME*.  The recent
"fix" effectively forced the test case to use the same "random" pkey for
the whole test, unless the test run crossed a second boundary.

Only run srand() once at program startup.

This explains some very odd and persistent test failures I've been seeing.
