commit dda014ba59331dee4f3b773a020e109932f4bd24 upstream.

The syscall instruction is used in Xen PV mode for doing hypercalls.
Allow syscall to be used in the kernel in case it is tagged with an
unwind hint for objtool.

This is part of XSA-466 / CVE-2024-53241.

[ Upstream commit ce03573a1917532da06057da9f8e74a2ee9e2ac9 ]

When using svcr_in to check ZA and Streaming Mode, we should make sure
that the value in x2 is correct, otherwise it may trigger an Illegal
instruction if FEAT_SVE and !FEAT_SME.

On some systems, neighbor discoveries from ns1 for fec0:42::1 (i.e., the
martian trap address) would happen at the wrong time and cause
false-negative test result.

Problem analysis also discovered that IPv6 martian ping test was broken
in that sent neighbor discoveries, not echo requests were inadvertently
trapped

Avoid the race condition by introducing the neighbors to each other
upfront. Also pin down the firewall rules to matching on echo requests
only.

<title>libperf: evlist: Fix --cpu argument on hybrid platform</title>

[ Upstream commit f7e36d02d771ee14acae1482091718460cffb321 ]

Since the linked fixes: commit, specifying a CPU on hybrid platforms
results in an error because Perf tries to open an extended type event
on "any" CPU which isn't valid. Extended type events can only be opened
on CPUs that match the type.

Before (working):

  $ perf record --cpu 1 -- true
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 2.385 MB perf.data (7 samples) ]

After (not working):

  $ perf record -C 1 -- true
  WARNING: A requested CPU in '1' is not supported by PMU 'cpu_atom' (CPUs 16-27) for event 'cycles:P'
  Error:
  The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 22 (Invalid argument) for event (cpu_atom/cycles:P/).
  /bin/dmesg | grep -i perf may provide additional information.

(Ignore the warning message, that's expected and not particularly
relevant to this issue).

This is because perf_cpu_map__intersect() of the user specified CPU (1)
and one of the PMU's CPUs (16-27) correctly results in an empty (NULL)
CPU map. However for the purposes of opening an event, libperf converts
empty CPU maps into an any CPU (-1) which the kernel rejects.

Fix it by deleting evsels with empty CPU maps in the specific case where
user requested CPU maps are evaluated.

[ Upstream commit 5f2c7ab15fd806043db1a7d54b5ec36be0bd93b1 ]

The test assumes that the packet it is sending is the only packet being
passed to the device.

However, it is not the case and so other packets are filling the buffers
as well. Therefore, the test sometimes fails because it is reading a
maximum occupancy that is larger than expected.

Add egress filters on $h1 and $h2 that will guarantee the above.

The test is sending only one packet generated with mausezahn from $h1 to
$h2. However, for some reason, it is testing for non-zero maximum occupancy
in both the ingress pool of $h1 and $h2. The former only passes when $h2
happens to send a packet.

Avoid intermittent failures by removing unintentional test case
regarding the ingress pool of $h1.

[ Upstream commit 88a6e2f67cc94f751a74409ab4c21e5fc8ea6757 ]

Its used from trace__run(), for the 'perf trace' live mode, i.e. its
strace-like, non-perf.data file processing mode, the most common one.

The trace__run() function will set trace-&gt;host using machine__new_host()
that is supposed to give a machine instance representing the running
machine, and since we'll use perf_env__arch_strerrno() to get the right
errno -&gt; string table, we need to use machine-&gt;env, so initialize it in
machine__new_host().

Before the patch:

  (gdb) run trace --errno-summary -a sleep 1

[ Upstream commit 88a6e2f67cc94f751a74409ab4c21e5fc8ea6757 ]

Its used from trace__run(), for the 'perf trace' live mode, i.e. its
strace-like, non-perf.data file processing mode, the most common one.

The trace__run() function will set trace-&gt;host using machine__new_host()
that is supposed to give a machine instance representing the running
machine, and since we'll use perf_env__arch_strerrno() to get the right
errno -&gt; string table, we need to use machine-&gt;env, so initialize it in
machine__new_host().

Before the patch:

  (gdb) run trace --errno-summary -a sleep 1

[ Upstream commit 23c44f6c83257923b179461694edcf62749bedd5 ]

The build-id events written at the end of the record session are broken
due to unexpected data.  The write_buildid() writes the fixed length
event first and then variable length filename.

But a recent change made it write more data in the padding area
accidentally.  So readers of the event see zero-filled data for the
next entry and treat it incorrectly.  This resulted in wrong kernel
symbols because the kernel DSO loaded a random vmlinux image in the
path as it didn't have a valid build-id.

<title>bpf: Check size for BTF-based ctx access of pointer members</title>

commit 659b9ba7cb2d7adb64618b87ddfaa528a143766e upstream.

Robert Morris reported the following program type which passes the
verifier in [0]:

SEC("struct_ops/bpf_cubic_init")
void BPF_PROG(bpf_cubic_init, struct sock *sk)
{
	asm volatile("r2 = *(u16*)(r1 + 0)");     // verifier should demand u64
	asm volatile("*(u32 *)(r2 +1504) = 0");   // 1280 in some configs
}

The second line may or may not work, but the first instruction shouldn't
pass, as it's a narrow load into the context structure of the struct ops
callback. The code falls back to btf_ctx_access to ensure correctness
and obtaining the types of pointers. Ensure that the size of the access
is correctly checked to be 8 bytes, otherwise the verifier thinks the
narrow load obtained a trusted BTF pointer and will permit loads/stores
as it sees fit.

Perform the check on size after we've verified that the load is for a
pointer field, as for scalar values narrow loads are fine. Access to
structs passed as arguments to a BPF program are also treated as
scalars, therefore no adjustment is needed in their case.

Existing verifier selftests are broken by this change, but because they
were incorrect. Verifier tests for d_path were performing narrow load
into context to obtain path pointer, had this program actually run it
would cause a crash. The same holds for verifier_btf_ctx_access tests.
