[ Upstream commit 5c30a038fb8ec8cdff011e6b5d5d51eb415381d4 ]

When intel_pstate test is skipped because of unmet dependencies and/or
unsupported configuration, it returns 0 which is treated as a pass
by the Kselftest framework. This leads to false positive result even
when the test could not be run.

Change it to return kselftest skip code when a test gets skipped to
clearly report that the test could not be run.

Kselftest framework SKIP code is 4 and the framework prints appropriate
messages to indicate that the test is skipped.

[ Upstream commit b27f0259e8cea74c627327c063742a83613dd460 ]

When memfd test is skipped because of unmet dependencies and/or unsupported
configuration, it returns non-zero value which is treated as a fail by the
Kselftest framework. This leads to false negative result even when the test
could not be run.

Change it to return kselftest skip code when a test gets skipped to clearly
report that the test could not be run.

Added an explicit check for root user at the start of memfd hugetlbfs test
and return skip code if a non-root user attempts to run it.

In addition, return skip code when not enough huge pages are available to
run the test.

Kselftest framework SKIP code is 4 and the framework prints appropriate
messages to indicate that the test is skipped.

[ Upstream commit e9d33f149f52981fd856a0b16aa8ebda89b02e34 ]

A few changes improve the overall usability of the test:
* fix a hard-coded maximum frequency (3300),
* don't adjust the CPU frequency if only evaluating results,
* fix a comparison for multiple frequencies.

A symptom of that last issue looked like this:
  ./run.sh: line 107: [: too many arguments
  ./run.sh: line 110: 3099
  3099
  3100-3100: syntax error in expression (error token is \"3099
  3100-3100\")

Because a check will count how many differente frequencies
there are among the CPUs of the system, and after they are
tallied another read is performed, which might produce
different results.

[ Upstream commit ceac7b79df7bd67ef9aaf464b0179a2686aff4ee ]

Currently all the event parsing fails end up
in the event_pmu rule, and display misleading
help like:

  $ perf stat -e inst kill
  event syntax error: 'inst'
                       \___ Cannot find PMU `inst'. Missing kernel support?
  ...

The reason is that the event_pmu is too strong
and match also single string. Changing it to
force the '/' separators to be part of the rule,
and getting the proper error now:

  $ perf stat -e inst kill
  event syntax error: 'inst'
                       \___ parser error
  Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

commit 9feeb638cde083c737e295c0547f1b4f28e99583 upstream.

In 2016 GNU Make made a backwards incompatible change to the way '#'
characters were handled in Makefiles when used inside functions or
macros:

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/make.git/commit/?id=c6966b323811c37acedff05b57

Due to this change, when attempting to run `make prepare' I get a
spurious make syntax error:

    /home/earnest/linux/tools/objtool/.fixdep.o.cmd:1: *** missing separator.  Stop.

When inspecting `.fixdep.o.cmd' it includes two lines which use
unescaped comment characters at the top:

    \# cannot find fixdep (/home/earnest/linux/tools/objtool//fixdep)
    \# using basic dep data

This is because `tools/build/Build.include' prints these '\#'
characters:

    printf '\# cannot find fixdep (%s)\n' $(fixdep) &gt; $(dot-target).cmd; \
    printf '\# using basic dep data\n\n' &gt;&gt; $(dot-target).cmd;           \

This completes commit 9564a8cf422d ("Kbuild: fix # escaping in .cmd files
for future Make").

commit 9564a8cf422d7b58f6e857e3546d346fa970191e upstream.

I tried building using a freshly built Make (4.2.1-69-g8a731d1), but
already the objtool build broke with

orc_dump.c: In function ‘orc_dump’:
orc_dump.c:106:2: error: ‘elf_getshnum’ is deprecated [-Werror=deprecated-declarations]
  if (elf_getshdrnum(elf, &amp;nr_sections)) {

Turns out that with that new Make, the backslash was not removed, so cpp
didn't see a #include directive, grep found nothing, and
-DLIBELF_USE_DEPRECATED was wrongly put in CFLAGS.

Now, that new Make behaviour is documented in their NEWS file:

  * WARNING: Backward-incompatibility!
    Number signs (#) appearing inside a macro reference or function invocation
    no longer introduce comments and should not be escaped with backslashes:
    thus a call such as:
      foo := $(shell echo '#')
    is legal.  Previously the number sign needed to be escaped, for example:
      foo := $(shell echo '\#')
    Now this latter will resolve to "\#".  If you want to write makefiles
    portable to both versions, assign the number sign to a variable:
      C := \#
      foo := $(shell echo '$C')
    This was claimed to be fixed in 3.81, but wasn't, for some reason.
    To detect this change search for 'nocomment' in the .FEATURES variable.

This also fixes up the two make-cmd instances to replace # with $(pound)
rather than with \#. There might very well be other places that need
similar fixup in preparation for whatever future Make release contains
the above change, but at least this builds an x86_64 defconfig with the
new make.

commit 9564a8cf422d7b58f6e857e3546d346fa970191e upstream.

I tried building using a freshly built Make (4.2.1-69-g8a731d1), but
already the objtool build broke with

orc_dump.c: In function ‘orc_dump’:
orc_dump.c:106:2: error: ‘elf_getshnum’ is deprecated [-Werror=deprecated-declarations]
  if (elf_getshdrnum(elf, &amp;nr_sections)) {

Turns out that with that new Make, the backslash was not removed, so cpp
didn't see a #include directive, grep found nothing, and
-DLIBELF_USE_DEPRECATED was wrongly put in CFLAGS.

Now, that new Make behaviour is documented in their NEWS file:

  * WARNING: Backward-incompatibility!
    Number signs (#) appearing inside a macro reference or function invocation
    no longer introduce comments and should not be escaped with backslashes:
    thus a call such as:
      foo := $(shell echo '#')
    is legal.  Previously the number sign needed to be escaped, for example:
      foo := $(shell echo '\#')
    Now this latter will resolve to "\#".  If you want to write makefiles
    portable to both versions, assign the number sign to a variable:
      C := \#
      foo := $(shell echo '$C')
    This was claimed to be fixed in 3.81, but wasn't, for some reason.
    To detect this change search for 'nocomment' in the .FEATURES variable.

This also fixes up the two make-cmd instances to replace # with $(pound)
rather than with \#. There might very well be other places that need
similar fixup in preparation for whatever future Make release contains
the above change, but at least this builds an x86_64 defconfig with the
new make.

<title>perf test: "Session topology" dumps core on s390</title>

[ Upstream commit d121109100bda84bbbb199dab97f9d56432ab235 ]

The "perf test Session topology" entry fails with core dump on s390. The root
cause is a NULL pointer dereference in function check_cpu_topology() line 76
(or line 82 without -v).

The session-&gt;header.env.cpu variable is NULL because on s390 function
process_cpu_topology() returns with error:

    socket_id number is too big.
    You may need to upgrade the perf tool.

and releases the env.cpu variable via zfree() and sets it to NULL.

Here is the gdb output:
(gdb) n
76                      pr_debug("CPU %d, core %d, socket %d\n", i,
(gdb) n

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x00000000010f4d9e in check_cpu_topology (path=0x3ffffffd6c8
	"/tmp/perf-test-J6CHMa", map=0x14a1740) at tests/topology.c:76
76  pr_debug("CPU %d, core %d, socket %d\n", i,
(gdb)

Make sure the env.cpu variable is not used when its NULL.
Test for NULL pointer and return TEST_SKIP if so.

  [root@p23lp27 perf]#

Output after:

  [root@p23lp27 perf]# ./perf test -vF 39
