commit e48a73a312ebf19cc3d72aa74985db25c30757c1 upstream.

Event modifiers are not mentioned in the perf record or perf stat
manpages.  Add them to orient new users more effectively by pointing
them to the perf list manpage for details.

Fixes: 2055fdaf8703 ("perf list: Document precise event sampling for AMD IBS")

commit 8891adc61dce2a8a41fc0c23262b681c3ec4b73a upstream.

The existing code accepted process_vm_readv() success or failure as long
as it didn't return garbage.  This is too weak: if the vsyscall page is
readable, then process_vm_readv() should succeed and, if the page is not
readable, then it should fail.

[ Upstream commit c210773d6c6f595f5922d56b7391fe343bc7310e ]

The error path in libbpf.c:load_program() has calls to pr_warn()
which ends up for global_funcs tests to
test_global_funcs.c:libbpf_debug_print().

For the tests with no struct test_def::err_str initialized with a
string, it causes call of strstr() with NULL as the second argument
and it segfaults.

Fix it by calling strstr() only for non-NULL err_str.

[ Upstream commit bcf7ddb0186d366f761f86196b480ea6dd2dc18c ]

h1 is initially configured to reach h2 via r1 rather than the
more direct path through r2. If rp_filter is set and inherited
for r2, forwarding fails since the source address of h1 is
reachable from eth0 vs the packet coming to it via r1 and eth1.
Since rp_filter setting affects the test, explicitly reset it.

Turns out there were a few more instances where libbpf didn't save the
errno before writing an error message, causing errno to be overridden by
the printf() return and the error disappearing if logging is enabled.
