[ Upstream commit 13978d1e73d2fcfb6addcf3392707ad68fa88ccb ]

Given the increasing number of BPF selftests, it makes sense to
reduce the time to execute these tests.  The ping parameters are
adjusted to reduce the time from measures 9 sec to approx 2.8 sec.

In-order to test both native-XDP (xdpdrv) and generic-XDP (xdpgeneric)
create two wrapper test scripts, that start the test_xdp_vlan.sh script
with these modes.

[ Upstream commit 4de9c89a4982431c4a02739743fd360dc5581f22 ]

Change BPF selftest test_xdp_vlan.sh to (default) use generic XDP.

This selftest was created together with a fix for generic XDP, in commit
297249569932 ("net: fix generic XDP to handle if eth header was
mangled"). And was suppose to catch if generic XDP was broken again.

The tests are using veth and assumed that veth driver didn't support
native driver XDP, thus it used the (ip link set) 'xdp' attach that fell
back to generic-XDP. But veth gained native-XDP support in 948d4f214fde
("veth: Add driver XDP"), which caused this test script to use
native-XDP.

<title>cgroup: kselftest: relax fs_spec checks</title>

commit b59b1baab789eacdde809135542e3d4f256f6878 upstream.

On my laptop most memcg kselftests were being skipped because it claimed
cgroup v2 hierarchy wasn't mounted, but this isn't correct.  Instead, it
seems current systemd HEAD mounts it with the name "cgroup2" instead of
"cgroup":

    % grep cgroup /proc/mounts
    cgroup2 /sys/fs/cgroup cgroup2 rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,nsdelegate 0 0

I can't think of a reason to need to check fs_spec explicitly
since it's arbitrary, so we can just rely on fs_vfstype.

After these changes, `make TARGETS=cgroup kselftest` actually runs the
cgroup v2 tests in more cases.

[ Upstream commit 9cae4ace80ef39005da106fbb89c952b27d7b89e ]

When compiling an eBPF prog fails, make still returns 0, because
failing clang command's output is piped to llc and therefore its
exit status is ignored.

When clang fails, pipe the string "clang failed" to llc. This will make
llc fail with an informative error message. This solution was chosen
over using pipefail, having separate targets or getting rid of llc
invocation due to its simplicity.

In addition, pull Kbuild.include in order to get .DELETE_ON_ERROR target,
which would cause partial .o files to be removed.

 setup_net+0x212/0x690 net/core/net_namespace.c:316

The faulting address is the address of the old chain head,
free'd by xfrm_hash_resize().

In xfrm_hash_rehash(), chain heads get re-initialized without
any hlist_del_rcu:

 for (i = hmask; i &gt;= 0; i--)
    INIT_HLIST_HEAD(odst + i);

Then, hlist_del_rcu() gets called on the about to-be-reinserted policy
when iterating the per-net list of policies.

hlist_del_rcu() will then make chain-&gt;first be nonzero again:

static inline void __hlist_del(struct hlist_node *n)
{
   struct hlist_node *next = n-&gt;next;   // address of next element in list
   struct hlist_node **pprev = n-&gt;pprev;// location of previous elem, this
                                        // can point at chain-&gt;first
        WRITE_ONCE(*pprev, next);       // chain-&gt;first points to next elem
        if (next)
                next-&gt;pprev = pprev;

Then, when we walk chainlist to find insertion point, we may find a
non-empty list even though we're supposedly reinserting the first
policy to an empty chain.

To fix this first unlink all exact and inexact policies instead of
zeroing the list heads.

Add the commands equivalent to the syzbot reproducer to xfrm_policy.sh,
without fix KASAN catches the corruption as it happens, SLUB poisoning
detects it a bit later.

[ Upstream commit 1d481458816d9424c8a05833ce0ebe72194a350e ]

Based on the following report from Smatch, fix the potential NULL
pointer dereference check.

  tools/perf/util/intel-bts.c:898
  intel_bts_process_auxtrace_info() error: we previously assumed
  'session-&gt;itrace_synth_opts' could be null (see line 894)

  tools/perf/util/intel-bts.c:899
  intel_bts_process_auxtrace_info() warn: variable dereferenced before
  check 'session-&gt;itrace_synth_opts' (see line 898)

  tools/perf/util/intel-bts.c
  894         if (session-&gt;itrace_synth_opts &amp;&amp; session-&gt;itrace_synth_opts-&gt;set) {
  895                 bts-&gt;synth_opts = *session-&gt;itrace_synth_opts;
  896         } else {
  897                 itrace_synth_opts__set_default(&amp;bts-&gt;synth_opts,
  898                                 session-&gt;itrace_synth_opts-&gt;default_no_sample);
                                      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  899                 if (session-&gt;itrace_synth_opts)
                          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  900                         bts-&gt;synth_opts.thread_stack =
  901                                 session-&gt;itrace_synth_opts-&gt;thread_stack;
  902         }

'session-&gt;itrace_synth_opts' is impossible to be a NULL pointer in
intel_bts_process_auxtrace_info(), thus this patch removes the NULL test
for 'session-&gt;itrace_synth_opts'.

[ Upstream commit ceb75476db1617a88cc29b09839acacb69aa076e ]

Based on the following report from Smatch, fix the potential
NULL pointer dereference check.

  tools/perf/ui/browsers/hists.c:641
  hist_browser__run() error: we previously assumed 'hbt' could be
  null (see line 625)

  tools/perf/ui/browsers/hists.c:3088
  perf_evsel__hists_browse() error: we previously assumed
  'browser-&gt;he_selection' could be null (see line 2902)

  tools/perf/ui/browsers/hists.c:3272
  perf_evsel_menu__run() error: we previously assumed 'hbt' could be
  null (see line 3260)

This patch firstly validating the pointers before access them, so can
fix potential NULL pointer dereference.

<title>perf annotate: Fix dereferencing freed memory found by the smatch tool</title>

[ Upstream commit 600c787dbf6521d8d07ee717ab7606d5070103ea ]

Based on the following report from Smatch, fix the potential
dereferencing freed memory check.

  tools/perf/util/annotate.c:1125
  disasm_line__parse() error: dereferencing freed memory 'namep'

  tools/perf/util/annotate.c
  1100 static int disasm_line__parse(char *line, const char **namep, char **rawp)
  1101 {
  1102         char tmp, *name = ltrim(line);

  [...]

  1114         *namep = strdup(name);
  1115
  1116         if (*namep == NULL)
  1117                 goto out_free_name;

  [...]

  1124 out_free_name:
  1125         free((void *)namep);
                            ^^^^^
  1126         *namep = NULL;
               ^^^^^^
  1127         return -1;
  1128 }

If strdup() fails to allocate memory space for *namep, we don't need to
free memory with pointer 'namep', which is resident in data structure
disasm_line::ins::name; and *namep is NULL pointer for this failure, so
it's pointless to assign NULL to *namep again.

Committer note:

Freeing namep, which is the address of the first entry of the 'struct
ins' that is the first member of struct disasm_line would in fact free
that disasm_line instance, if it was allocated via malloc/calloc, which,
later, would a dereference of freed memory.
