commit 265b4da82dbf5df04bee5a5d46b7474b1aaf326a upstream.

The rsvp classifier has served us well for about a quarter of a century but has
has not been getting much maintenance attention due to lack of known users.

Fix to unmount the tracefs if the ftracetest mounted it for recovering
system environment. If the tracefs is already mounted, this does nothing.

[ Upstream commit 49d736313d0975ddeb156f4f59801da833f78b30 ]

In function size_from_channelarray(), the return value 'bytes' is defined
as int type. However, the calcution of 'bytes' in this function is designed
to use the unsigned int type. So it is necessary to change 'bytes' type to
unsigned int to avoid integer overflow.

The size_from_channelarray() is called in main() function, its return value
is directly multipled by 'buf_len' and then used as the malloc() parameter.
The 'buf_len' is completely controllable by user, thus a multiplication
overflow may occur here. This could allocate an unexpected small area.

[ Upstream commit 29d67fdebc42af6466d1909c60fdd1ef4f3e5240 ]

I hit a memory leak when testing bpf_program__set_attach_target().
Basically, set_attach_target() may allocate btf_vmlinux, for example,
when setting attach target for bpf_iter programs. But btf_vmlinux
is freed only in bpf_object_load(), which means if we only open
bpf object but not load it, setting attach target may leak
btf_vmlinux.

So let's free btf_vmlinux in bpf_object__close() anyway.

[ Upstream commit c388c9920da2679f62bec48d00ca9e80e9d0a364 ]

kernel parameters allow pass two types of strings, one type is like
'noapic', another type is like 'panic=5', the first type is passed as
arguments of the init program, the second type is passed as environment
variables of the init program.

when users pass kernel parameters like this:

    noapic NOLIBC_TEST=syscall

our nolibc-test program will use the test setting from argv[1] and
ignore the one from NOLIBC_TEST environment variable, and at last, it
will print the following line and ignore the whole test setting.

    Ignoring unknown test name 'noapic'

reversing the parsing order does solve the above issue:

    test = getenv("NOLIBC_TEST");
    if (test)
        test = argv[1];

but it still doesn't work with such kernel parameters (without
NOLIBC_TEST environment variable):

    noapic FOO=bar

To support all of the potential kernel parameters, let's verify the test
setting from both of argv[1] and NOLIBC_TEST environment variable.

[ Upstream commit 3f3f384139ed147c71e1d770accf610133d5309b ]

When kselftest is built/installed with the 'gen_tar' target, rsync is
used for the installation step to copy files. Extra care is needed for
tests that have symlinks. Commit ae108c48b5d2 ("selftests: net: Fix
cross-tree inclusion of scripts") added '-L' (transform symlink into
referent file/dir) to rsync, to fix dangling links. However, that
broke some tests where the symlink (being a symlink) is part of the
test (e.g. exec:execveat).

Use rsync's '--copy-unsafe-links' that does right thing.

[ Upstream commit 9616cb34b08ec86642b162eae75c5a7ca8debe3c ]

Timeouts in kselftest are done using the "timeout" command with the
"--foreground" option. Without the "foreground" option, it is not
possible for a user to cancel the runner using SIGINT, because the
signal is not propagated to timeout which is running in a different
process group. The "forground" options places the timeout in the same
process group as its parent, but only sends the SIGTERM (on timeout)
signal to the forked process. Unfortunately, this does not play nice
with all kselftests, e.g. "net:fcnal-test.sh", where the child
processes will linger because timeout does not send SIGTERM to the
group.

Some users have noted these hangs [1].

Fix this by nesting the timeout with an additional timeout without the
foreground option.

commit f6b8436bede3e80226e8b2100279c4450c73806a upstream.

The 'e' key is to toggle expand/collapse the selected entry only.  But
the current code has a bug that it only increases the number of entries
by 1 in the hierarchy mode so users cannot move under the current entry
after the key stroke.  This is due to a wrong assumption in the
hist_entry__set_folding().

The commit b33f922651011eff ("perf hists browser: Put hist_entry folding
logic into single function") factored out the code, but actually it
should be handled separately.  The hist_browser__set_folding() is to
update fold state for each entry so it needs to traverse all (child)
entries regardless of the current fold state.  So it increases the
number of entries by 1.

But the hist_entry__set_folding() only cares the currently selected
entry and its all children.  So it should count all unfolded child
entries.  This code is implemented in hist_browser__toggle_fold()
already so we can just call it.

commit 9bf63282ea77a531ea58acb42fb3f40d2d1e4497 upstream.

The PERF_RECORD_ATTR is used for a pipe mode to describe an event with
attribute and IDs.  The ID table comes after the attr and it calculate
size of the table using the total record size and the attr size.

  n_ids = (total_record_size - end_of_the_attr_field) / sizeof(u64)

This is fine for most use cases, but sometimes it saves the pipe output
in a file and then process it later.  And it becomes a problem if there
is a change in attr size between the record and report.

  $ perf record -o- &gt; perf-pipe.data  # old version
  $ perf report -i- &lt; perf-pipe.data  # new version

For example, if the attr size is 128 and it has 4 IDs, then it would
save them in 168 byte like below:

   8 byte: perf event header { .type = PERF_RECORD_ATTR, .size = 168 },
 128 byte: perf event attr { .size = 128, ... },
  32 byte: event IDs [] = { 1234, 1235, 1236, 1237 },

But when report later, it thinks the attr size is 136 then it only read
the last 3 entries as ID.

   8 byte: perf event header { .type = PERF_RECORD_ATTR, .size = 168 },
 136 byte: perf event attr { .size = 136, ... },
  24 byte: event IDs [] = { 1235, 1236, 1237 },  // 1234 is missing

So it should use the recorded version of the attr.  The attr has the
size field already then it should honor the size when reading data.

commit 68ca249c964f520af7f8763e22f12bd26b57b870 upstream.

As of now, bpf counters (bperf) don't support event groups.  But the
default perf stat includes topdown metrics if supported (on recent Intel
machines) which require groups.  That makes perf stat exiting.

  $ sudo perf stat --bpf-counter true
  bpf managed perf events do not yet support groups.

Actually the test explicitly uses cycles event only, but it missed to
pass the option when it checks the availability of the command.

Fixes: 2c0cb9f56020d2ea ("perf test: Add a shell test for 'perf stat --bpf-counters' new option")
