commit 99cbbe56eb8bede625f410ab62ba34673ffa7d21 upstream.

When the number of queues grows beyond 32, the array of queues is
resized but not all members were being copied. Fix by also copying
'tid', 'cpu' and 'set'.

[ Upstream commit 5aa3d1a20a233d4a5f1ec3d62da3f19d9afea682 ]

This fixes the reported family on modern AMD processors (e.g. Ryzen,
which is family 0x17). Previously these processors all showed up as
family 0xf.

See the document
https://support.amd.com/TechDocs/56255_OSRR.pdf
section CPUID_Fn00000001_EAX for how to calculate the family
from the BaseFamily and ExtFamily values.

This matches the code in arch/x86/lib/cpu.c

[ Upstream commit 82f4f3e69c5c29bce940dd87a2c0f16c51d48d17 ]

Add a testcase for checking snapshot and tracing_on
relationship. This ensures that the snapshotting doesn't
affect current tracing on/off settings.

<title>tools: usb: ffs-test: Fix build on big endian systems</title>

<id>7cd80fc138f289aa25fba5dffc1542e4111f34d1</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit a2b22dddc7bb6110ac3b5ed1a60aa9279836fadb ]

The tools/usb/ffs-test.c file defines cpu_to_le16/32 by using the C
library htole16/32 function calls. However, cpu_to_le16/32 are used when
initializing structures, i.e in a context where a function call is not
allowed.

It works fine on little endian systems because htole16/32 are defined by
the C library as no-ops. But on big-endian systems, they are actually
doing something, which might involve calling a function, causing build
failures, such as:

   ffs-test.c:48:25: error: initializer element is not constant
    #define cpu_to_le32(x)  htole32(x)
                            ^~~~~~~
   ffs-test.c:128:12: note: in expansion of macro ‘cpu_to_le32’
      .magic = cpu_to_le32(FUNCTIONFS_DESCRIPTORS_MAGIC_V2),
               ^~~~~~~~~~~

To solve this, we code cpu_to_le16/32 in a way that allows them to be
used when initializing structures. This fix was imported from
meta-openembedded/android-tools/fix-big-endian-build.patch written by
Thomas Petazzoni &lt;thomas.petazzoni@free-electrons.com&gt;.

[ Upstream commit db0ba84c04ef2cf293aaada5ae97531127844d9d ]

The dictionaries are attached to the parameter tuple that steals the
references and takes care of releasing them when appropriate.  The code
should not decrement the reference counts explicitly.  E.g. if libpython
has been built with reference debugging enabled, the superfluous DECREFs
will trigger this error when running perf script:

  Fatal Python error: Objects/tupleobject.c:238 object at
  0x7f10f2041b40 has negative ref count -1
  Aborted (core dumped)

If the reference debugging is not enabled, the superfluous DECREFs might
cause the dict objects to be silently released while they are still in
use. This may trigger various other assertions or just cause perf
crashes and/or weird and unexpected data changes in the stored Python
objects.

[ Upstream commit a09603f851045b031e990d2d663958ccb49db525 ]

We are getting following warnings on gcc8 that break compilation:

  $ make
    CC       jvmti/jvmti_agent.o
  jvmti/jvmti_agent.c: In function ‘jvmti_open’:
  jvmti/jvmti_agent.c:252:35: error: ‘/jit-’ directive output may be truncated \
    writing 5 bytes into a region of size between 1 and 4096 [-Werror=format-truncation=]
    snprintf(dump_path, PATH_MAX, "%s/jit-%i.dump", jit_path, getpid());

There's no point in checking the result of snprintf call in
jvmti_open, the following open call will fail in case the
name is mangled or too long.

Using tools/lib/ function scnprintf that touches the return value from
the snprintf() calls and thus get rid of those warnings.

  $ make DEBUG=1

  copying 2 bytes from a string of the same length [-Werror=stringop-truncation]
    strncpy(prefix, "+0", 2);
    ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Using scnprintf instead of the strncpy (which we know is safe in here)
to get rid of that warning.

Using scnprintf instead of the strncpy (which we know is safe in here)
to get rid of that warning.

[ Upstream commit f6432b9f65001651412dbc3589d251534822d4ab ]

Like system(), popen() calls /bin/sh, which may/may not be bash.

Script when run on dash and encounters the line, yields:

 exit: Illegal number: -1

checkbashisms report on script content:

 possible bashism (exit|return with negative status code):
 exit -1

Remove the bashism and use the more portable non-zero failure
status code 1.

<title>objtool: Support GCC 8 '-fnoreorder-functions'</title>

[ Upstream commit 08b393d01c88aff27347ed2b1b354eb4db2f1532 ]

Since the following commit:

  cd77849a69cf ("objtool: Fix GCC 8 cold subfunction detection for aliased functions")

... if the kernel is built with EXTRA_CFLAGS='-fno-reorder-functions',
objtool can get stuck in an infinite loop.

That flag causes the new GCC 8 cold subfunctions to be placed in .text
instead of .text.unlikely.  But it also has an unfortunate quirk: in the
symbol table, the subfunction (e.g., nmi_panic.cold.7) is nested inside
the parent (nmi_panic).

That function overlap confuses objtool, and causes it to get into an
infinite loop in next_insn_same_func().  Here's Allan's description of
the loop:

  "Objtool iterates through the instructions in nmi_panic using
  next_insn_same_func. Once it reaches the end of nmi_panic at 0x534 it
  jumps to 0x528 as that's the start of nmi_panic.cold.7. However, since
  the instructions starting at 0x528 are still associated with nmi_panic
  objtool will get stuck in a loop, continually jumping back to 0x528
  after reaching 0x534."

Fix it by shortening the length of the parent function so that the
functions no longer overlap.
