commit de3ee3f63400a23954e7c1ad1cb8c20f29ab6fe3 upstream.

This change enables to extend CFLAGS and LDFLAGS from command line, e.g.
to extend compiler checks: make USERCFLAGS=-Werror USERLDFLAGS=-static

USERCFLAGS and USERLDFLAGS are documented in
Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.rst and Documentation/kbuild/kbuild.rst

This should be backported (down to 5.10) to improve previous kernel
versions testing as well.

<title>ktest.pl minconfig: Unset configs instead of just removing them</title>

commit ef784eebb56425eed6e9b16e7d47e5c00dcf9c38 upstream.

After a full run of a make_min_config test, I noticed there were a lot of
CONFIGs still enabled that really should not be. Looking at them, I
noticed they were all defined as "default y". The issue is that the test
simple removes the config and re-runs make oldconfig, which enables it
again because it is set to default 'y'. Instead, explicitly disable the
config with writing "# CONFIG_FOO is not set" to the file to keep it from
being set again.

With this change, one of my box's minconfigs went from 768 configs set,
down to 521 configs set.

<title>kest.pl: Fix grub2 menu handling for rebooting</title>

commit 26df05a8c1420ad3de314fdd407e7fc2058cc7aa upstream.

grub2 has submenus where to use grub-reboot, it requires:

  grub-reboot X&gt;Y

where X is the main index and Y is the submenu. Thus if you have:

menuentry 'Debian GNU/Linux' --class debian --class gnu-linux ...
	[...]
}
submenu 'Advanced options for Debian GNU/Linux' $menuentry_id_option ...
        menuentry 'Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 6.0.0-4-amd64' --class debian --class gnu-linux ...
                [...]
        }
        menuentry 'Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 6.0.0-4-amd64 (recovery mode)' --class debian --class gnu-linux ...
		[...]
        }
        menuentry 'Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux test' --class debian --class gnu-linux ...
                [...]
        }

And wanted to boot to the "Linux test" kernel, you need to run:

 # grub-reboot 1&gt;2

As 1 is the second top menu (the submenu) and 2 is the third of the sub
menu entries.

Have the grub.cfg parsing for grub2 handle such cases.

[ Upstream commit b50d691e50e600fab82b423be871860537d75dc9 ]

Parametrized events are not only a powerpc domain. They occur on other
platforms too (e.g. aarch64). They should be ignored in this testcase,
since proper setup of the parameters is out of scope of this script.

Let's not filter them out by PMU name, but rather based on the fact that
they expect a parameter.

Use the global quiet variable everywhere so that all tools hide warnings
in quiet mode and update the documentation to reflect this.

'perf probe' claimed that errors are not printed in quiet mode but I
don't see this so remove it from the docs.

[ Upstream commit 188ac720d364035008a54d249cf47b4cc100f819 ]

When perf uses quiet mode, perf_quiet_option() sets the 'debug_peo_args'
variable to -1, and display_attr() incorrectly determines the value of
'debug_peo_args'.  As a result, unexpected information is displayed.

Before:

  # perf record --quiet -- ls &gt; /dev/null
  ------------------------------------------------------------
  perf_event_attr:
    size                             128
    { sample_period, sample_freq }   4000
    sample_type                      IP|TID|TIME|PERIOD
    read_format                      ID|LOST
    disabled                         1

    freq                             1
    enable_on_exec                   1
    task                             1
    precise_ip                       3
    sample_id_all                    1
    exclude_guest                    1
    mmap2                            1
    comm_exec                        1
    ksymbol                          1
    bpf_event                        1
  ------------------------------------------------------------
  ...

After:
  # perf record --quiet -- ls &gt; /dev/null
  #

redirect_to_stderr is a similar problem.

[ Upstream commit ab0350c743d5c93fd88742f02b3dff12168ab435 ]

Both tolower and toupper are built in c functions, we should not
redefine them as this can result in a build error.

Fixes the following errors:
progs/bpf_iter_ksym.c:10:20: error: conflicting types for built-in function 'tolower'; expected 'int(int)' [-Werror=builtin-declaration-mismatch]
   10 | static inline char tolower(char c)

<title>libbpf: Avoid enum forward-declarations in public API in C++ mode</title>

[ Upstream commit b42693415b86f608049cf1b4870adc1dc65e58b0 ]

C++ enum forward declarations are fundamentally not compatible with pure
C enum definitions, and so libbpf's use of `enum bpf_stats_type;`
forward declaration in libbpf/bpf.h public API header is causing C++
compilation issues.

More details can be found in [0], but it comes down to C++ supporting
enum forward declaration only with explicitly specified backing type:

  enum bpf_stats_type: int;

In C (and I believe it's a GCC extension also), such forward declaration
is simply:

  enum bpf_stats_type;

Further, in Linux UAPI this enum is defined in pure C way:

enum bpf_stats_type { BPF_STATS_RUN_TIME = 0; }

And even though in both cases backing type is int, which can be
confirmed by looking at DWARF information, for C++ compiler actual enum
definition and forward declaration are incompatible.

To eliminate this problem, for C++ mode define input argument as int,
which makes enum unnecessary in libbpf public header. This solves the
issue and as demonstrated by next patch doesn't cause any unwanted
compiler warnings, at least with default warnings setting.
