commit b3f4f51ea68a495f8a5956064c33dce711a2df91 upstream.

The C standard says that memcmp() must treat the buffers as consisting
of "unsigned chars". If char happens to be unsigned, the casts are ok,
but then obviously the c1 variable can never contain a negative
value. And when char is signed, the casts are wrong, and there's still
a problem with using an 8-bit quantity to hold the difference, because
that can range from -255 to +255.

For example, assuming char is signed, comparing two 1-byte buffers,
one containing 0x00 and another 0x80, the current implementation would
return -128 for both memcmp(a, b, 1) and memcmp(b, a, 1), whereas one
of those should of course return something positive.

[ Upstream commit e9229d5b6254a75291536f582652c599957344d2 ]

Commit 0cc177cfc95d565e ("perf vendor events arm64: Add Hisi hip08 L3
metrics") add L3 metrics of hip08, but some metrics (IF_BP_MISP_BR_RET,
IF_BP_MISP_BR_RET, IF_BP_MISP_BR_BL) have incorrect event number due to
the mistakes in document, which caused incorrect result. Fix the
incorrect metrics.

[ Upstream commit b92dd11725a7c57f55e148c7d3ce58a86f480575 ]

Testcase stat_all_metrics.sh fails in powerpc:

  90: perf all metrics test : FAILED!

The testcase "stat_all_metrics.sh" verifies perf stat result for all the
metric events present in perf list.  It runs perf metric events with
various commands and expects non-empty metric result.

Incase of powerpc:hv-24x7 events, some of the event count can be 0 based
on system configuration. And if that event used as denominator in divide
equation, it can cause divide by 0 error. The current nest_metric.json
file creating divide by 0 issue for some of the metric events, which
results in failure of the "stat_all_metrics.sh" test case.

Most of the metrics events have cycles or an event which expect to have
a larger value as denominator, so adding 1 to the denominator of the
metric expression as a fix.

Result in powerpc box after this patch changes:

  90: perf all metrics test : Ok

[ Upstream commit 05c2224d4b049406b0545a10be05280ff4b8ba0a ]

It's required by vm_userspace_mem_region_add() that memory size
should be aligned to host page size. However, one guest page is
provided by memslot_modification_stress_test. It triggers failure
in the scenario of 64KB-page-size-host and 4KB-page-size-guest,
as the following messages indicate.

Fix by matching the name string up to the separating tab character.

commit 72b2aa38191bcba28389b0e20bf6b4f15017ff2b upstream.

The iio_utils uses a digit calculation in order to know length of the
file name containing a buffer number. The digit calculation does not
work for number 0.

This leads to allocation of one character too small buffer for the
file-name when file name contains value '0'. (Eg. buffer0).

Fix digit calculation by returning one digit to be present for number
'0'.

work for number 0.

This leads to allocation of one character too small buffer for the
file-name when file name contains value '0'. (Eg. buffer0).

Fix digit calculation by returning one digit to be present for number
'0'.

[ Upstream commit e552b7be12ed62357df84392efa525ecb01910fb ]

If the kernel exposes a new perf_event_attr field in a format attr, perf
will return an error stating the specified PMU can't be found. For
example, a format attr with 'config3:0-63' causes an error as config3 is
unknown to perf. This causes a compatibility issue between a newer
kernel with older perf tool.

Before this change with a kernel adding 'config3' I get:

  $ perf record -e arm_spe// -- true
  event syntax error: 'arm_spe//'
                       \___ Cannot find PMU `arm_spe'. Missing kernel support?
  Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

   Usage: perf record [&lt;options&gt;] [&lt;command&gt;]
      or: perf record [&lt;options&gt;] -- &lt;command&gt; [&lt;options&gt;]

      -e, --event &lt;event&gt;   event selector. use 'perf list' to list
  available events

After this change, I get:

  $ perf record -e arm_spe// -- true
  WARNING: 'arm_spe_0' format 'inv_event_filter' requires 'perf_event_attr::config3' which is not supported by this version of perf!
  [ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.091 MB perf.data ]

To support unknown configN formats, rework the YACC implementation to
pass any config[0-9]+ format to perf_pmu__new_format() to handle with a
warning.

<title>perf intel-pt: Fix segfault in intel_pt_print_info() with uClibc</title>

commit 5a3d47071f0ced0431ef82a5fb6bd077ed9493db upstream.

uClibc segfaulted because NULL was passed as the format to fprintf().

That happened because one of the format strings was missing and
intel_pt_print_info() didn't check that before calling fprintf().

Add the missing format string, and check format is not NULL before calling
fprintf().

<title>kselftest/arm64: Fix validatation termination record after EXTRA_CONTEXT</title>

[ Upstream commit 5c152c2f66f9368394b89ac90dc7483476ef7b88 ]

When arm64 signal context data overflows the base struct sigcontext it gets
placed in an extra buffer pointed to by a record of type EXTRA_CONTEXT in
the base struct sigcontext which is required to be the last record in the
base struct sigframe. The current validation code attempts to check this
by using GET_RESV_NEXT_HEAD() to step forward from the current record to
the next but that is a macro which assumes it is being provided with a
struct _aarch64_ctx and uses the size there to skip forward to the next
record. Instead validate_extra_context() passes it a struct extra_context
which has a separate size field. This compiles but results in us trying
to validate a termination record in completely the wrong place, at best
failing validation and at worst just segfaulting. Fix this by passing
the struct _aarch64_ctx we meant to into the macro.

<title>bpftool: Clear errno after libcap's checks</title>

[ Upstream commit cea558855c39b7f1f02ff50dcf701ca6596bc964 ]

When bpftool is linked against libcap, the library runs a "constructor"
function to compute the number of capabilities of the running kernel
[0], at the beginning of the execution of the program. As part of this,
it performs multiple calls to prctl(). Some of these may fail, and set
errno to a non-zero value:

    # strace -e prctl ./bpftool version
    prctl(PR_CAPBSET_READ, CAP_MAC_OVERRIDE) = 1
    prctl(PR_CAPBSET_READ, 0x30 /* CAP_??? */) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
    prctl(PR_CAPBSET_READ, CAP_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE) = 1
    prctl(PR_CAPBSET_READ, 0x2c /* CAP_??? */) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
    prctl(PR_CAPBSET_READ, 0x2a /* CAP_??? */) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
    prctl(PR_CAPBSET_READ, 0x29 /* CAP_??? */) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
    ** fprintf added at the top of main(): we have errno == 1
    ./bpftool v7.0.0
    using libbpf v1.0
    features: libbfd, libbpf_strict, skeletons
    +++ exited with 0 +++

This has been addressed in libcap 2.63 [1], but until this version is
available everywhere, we can fix it on bpftool side.

Let's clean errno at the beginning of the main() function, to make sure
that these checks do not interfere with the batch mode, where we error
out if errno is set after a bpftool command.
