commit 6665b8e4836caa8023cbc7e53733acd234969c8c upstream.

An error timestamp shows the last known timestamp for the queue, but this
is not updated on the error path. Fix by setting it.

commit a882cc94971093e146ffa1163b140ad956236754 upstream.

FUP packets contain IP information, which makes them also an 'instruction'
event in 'hop' mode i.e. the itrace 'q' option.  That wasn't happening, so
restructure the logic so that FUP events are added along with appropriate
'instruction' and 'branch' events.

commit a32e6c5da599dbf49e60622a4dfb5b9b40ece029 upstream.

Code after label 'next:' in intel_pt_walk_trace() assumes 'err' is zero,
but it may not be, if arrived at via a 'goto'. Ensure it is zero.

<title>perf intel-pt: Fix state setting when receiving overflow (OVF) packet</title>

<content type='text'>
commit c79ee2b2160909889df67c8801352d3e69d43a1a upstream.

An overflow (OVF packet) is treated as an error because it represents a
loss of trace data, but there is no loss of synchronization, so the packet
state should be INTEL_PT_STATE_IN_SYNC not INTEL_PT_STATE_ERR_RESYNC.

To support that, some additional variables must be reset, and the FUP
packet that may follow OVF is treated as an FUP event.

commit 4c761d805bb2d2ead1b9baaba75496152b394c80 upstream.

intel_pt_fup_event() assumes it can overwrite the state type if there has
been an FUP event, but this is an unnecessary and unexpected constraint on
callers.

Fix by touching only the state type flags that are affected by an FUP
event.

commit ad106a26aef3a95ac7ca88d033b431661ba346ce upstream.

When syncing, it may be that branch packet generation is not enabled at
that point, in which case there will not immediately be a control-flow
packet, so some packets before a control flow packet turns up, get
ignored.  However, the decoder is in sync as soon as a PSB is found, so
the state should be set accordingly.

commit 057ae59f5a1d924511beb1b09f395bdb316cfd03 upstream.

Packet generation enable (PGE) refers to whether control flow (COFI)
packets are being produced.

PGE may be false even when branch-tracing is enabled, due to being
out-of-context, or outside a filter address range.  Fix some missing PGE

commit c29d9792607e67ed8a3f6e9db0d96836d885a8c5 upstream.

The space allowed for new attributes can be too small if existing header
information is large. That can happen, for example, if there are very
many CPUs, due to having an event ID per CPU per event being stored in the
header information.

Fix by adding the existing header.data_offset. Also increase the extra
space allowed to 8KiB and align to a 4KiB boundary for neatness.

When backporting 33b8aad21ac1 ("selftests: netfilter: add a
vrf+conntrack testcase") to this stable branch, the executable bits were
not properly set on the
tools/testing/selftests/netfilter/conntrack_vrf.sh file due to quilt not
honoring them.

Fix this up manually by setting the correct mode.

commit b560b21f71eb4ef9dfc7c8ec1d0e4d7f9aa54b51 upstream.

This commit adds BPF verifier selftests that cover all corner cases by
packet boundary checks. Specifically, 8-byte packet reads are tested at
the beginning of data and at the beginning of data_meta, using all kinds
of boundary checks (all comparison operators: &lt;, &gt;, &lt;=, &gt;=; both
permutations of operands: data + length compared to end, end compared to
data + length). For each case there are three tests:

1. Length is just enough for an 8-byte read. Length is either 7 or 8,
   depending on the comparison.

2. Length is increased by 1 - should still pass the verifier. These
   cases are useful, because they failed before commit 2fa7d94afc1a
   ("bpf: Fix the off-by-two error in range markings").

3. Length is decreased by 1 - should be rejected by the verifier.

Some existing tests are just renamed to avoid duplication.
