[ Upstream commit 7c27a26e1ed5a7dd709aa19685d2c98f64e1cf0c ]

There are some powerpc selftests, as tm/tm-unavailable, that run for a long
period (&gt;120 seconds), and if it is interrupted, as pressing CRTL-C
(SIGINT), the foreground process (harness) dies but the child process and
threads continue to execute (with PPID = 1 now) in background.

In this case, you'd think the whole test exited, but there are remaining
threads and processes being executed in background. Sometimes these
zombies processes are doing annoying things, as consuming the whole CPU or
dumping things to STDOUT.

This patch fixes this problem by attaching an empty signal handler to
SIGINT in the harness process. This handler will interrupt (EINTR) the
parent process waitpid() call, letting the code to follow through the
normal flow, which will kill all the processes in the child process group.

This patch also fixes a typo.

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

Add a testcase for checking snapshot and tracing_on

affect current tracing on/off settings.

<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;.

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.

[ Upstream commit ec348020566009d3da9b99f07c05814d13969c78 ]

When I wrote the sigreturn test, I didn't realize that AMD's busted
IRET behavior was different from Intel's busted IRET behavior:

On AMD CPUs, the CPU leaks the high 32 bits of the kernel stack pointer
to certain userspace contexts.  Gee, thanks.  There's very little
the kernel can do about it.  Modify the test so it passes.

[ Upstream commit 143c99f6ac6812d23254e80844d6e34be897d3e1 ]

For some cases, the callchain provided by the kernel may be empty. So,
the callchain ip filtering code will cause a crash if we do not check
whether the struct ip_callchain pointer is NULL before accessing any
members.

This can be observed on a powerpc64le system running Fedora 27 as shown
below.

  # perf record -b -e cycles:u ls

  # perf report --branch-history

<title>perf test session topology: Fix test on s390</title>

[ Upstream commit b930e62ecd362843002bdf84c2940439822af321 ]

On s390 this test case fails because the socket identifiction numbers
assigned to the CPU are higher than the CPU identification numbers.

F/ix this by adding the platform architecture into the perf data header
flag information. This helps identifiing the test platform and handles
s390 specifics in process_cpu_topology().

Before:

  [root@p23lp27 perf]# perf test -vvvvv -F 39
  39: Session topology                                      :
  --- start ---
  templ file: /tmp/perf-test-iUv755
  socket_id number is too big.You may need to upgrade the perf tool.
  ---- end ----
  Session topology: Skip
  [root@p23lp27 perf]#

After:

  [root@p23lp27 perf]# perf test -vvvvv -F 39
  39: Session topology                                      :
  --- start ---
  templ file: /tmp/perf-test-8X8VTs
  CPU 0, core 0, socket 6
  CPU 1, core 1, socket 3
  ---- end ----
  Session topology: Ok
