commit e764f12208b99ac7892c4e3f6bf88d71ca71036f upstream.

Move cxl_await_media_ready() to cxl_pci probe before driver starts issuing
IDENTIFY and retrieving memory device information to ensure that the
device is ready to provide the information. Allow cxl_pci_probe() to succeed
even if media is not ready. Cache the media failure in cxlds and don't ask
the device for any media information.

The rationale for proceeding in the !media_ready case is to allow for
mailbox operations to interrogate and/or remediate the device. After
media is repaired then rebinding the cxl_pci driver is expected to
restart the capacity scan.

commit d226b1df361988f885c298737d6019c863a25f26 upstream.

In the end of the test, there will be an error message induced by the
`ip netns del ns1` command in cleanup()

  Tests passed: 201
  Tests failed:   0
  Cannot remove namespace file "/run/netns/ns1": No such file or directory

This can even be reproduced with just `./fib_tests.sh -h` as we're
calling cleanup() on exit.

Redirect the error message to /dev/null to mute it.

V2: Update commit message and fixes tag.
V3: resubmit due to missing netdev ML in V2

<title>cxl/port: Enable the HDM decoder capability for switch ports</title>

commit eb0764b822b9b26880b28ccb9100b2983e01bc17 upstream.

Derick noticed, when testing hot plug, that hot-add behaves nominally
after a removal. However, if the hot-add is done without a prior
removal, CXL.mem accesses fail. It turns out that the original
implementation of the port driver and region programming wrongly assumed
that platform-firmware always enables the host-bridge HDM decoder
capability. Add support turning on switch-level HDM decoders in the case
where platform-firmware has not.

The implementation is careful to only arrange for the enable to be
undone if the current instance of the driver was the one that did the
enable. This is to interoperate with platform-firmware that may expect
CXL.mem to remain active after the driver is shutdown. This comes at the
cost of potentially not shutting down the enable on kexec flows, but it
is mitigated by the fact that the related HDM decoders still need to be
enabled on an individual basis.

<title>perf script: Skip aggregation for stat events</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 2fe6575924612f1014a0539ab3053b106aded926 upstream.

The script command does not support aggregation modes by itself although
that can be achieved using post-processing scripts. Because of this, it
does not allocate memory for aggregated event values.

Upon running perf stat record, the aggregation mode is set in the perf
data file. If the mode is AGGR_GLOBAL, the aggregated event values are
accessed and this leads to a segmentation fault since these were never
allocated to begin with. Set the mode to AGGR_NONE explicitly to avoid
this.

E.g.

  $ perf stat record -e cycles true
  $ perf script

Before:
  Segmentation fault (core dumped)

After:
  CPU   THREAD             VAL             ENA             RUN            TIME EVENT
   -1   231919          162831          362069          362069          935289 cycles:u

[ Upstream commit f97b8401e0deb46ad1e4245c21f651f64f55aaa6 ]

On some distributions, the rp_filter is automatically set (=1) by
default on a netdev basis (also on VRFs).
In an SRv6 End.DT4 behavior, decapsulated IPv4 packets are routed using
the table associated with the VRF bound to that tunnel. During lookup
operations, the rp_filter can lead to packet loss when activated on the
VRF.
Therefore, we chose to make this selftest more robust by explicitly
disabling the rp_filter during tests (as it is automatically set by some
Linux distributions).

[ Upstream commit 21a933c79a33add3612808f3be4ad65dd4dc026b ]

The srv6_end_dt4_l3vpn_test instantiates a virtual network consisting of
several routers (rt-1, rt-2) and hosts.
When the IPv6 addresses of rt-{1,2} routers are configured, the Deduplicate
Address Detection (DAD) kicks in when enabled in the Linux distros running
the selftests. DAD is used to check whether an IPv6 address is already
assigned in a network. Such a mechanism consists of sending an ICMPv6 Echo
Request and waiting for a reply.
As the DAD process could take too long to complete, it may cause the
failing of some tests carried out by the srv6_end_dt4_l3vpn_test script.

To make the srv6_end_dt4_l3vpn_test more robust, we disable DAD on routers
since we configure the virtual network manually and do not need any address
deduplication mechanism at all.

[ Upstream commit c2adb1877b76fc81ae041e1db1a6ed2078c6746b ]

System-wide TSC read could cause a drift in C0 percentage calculation.
Because if first TSC is read and then one by one mperf is read for all
cpus, this introduces drift between mperf reading of later CPUs and TSC
reading.  To lower this drift read TSC per CPU and also just after mperf
read.  This technique improves C0 percentage calculation in Mperf monitor.

<title>open: return EINVAL for O_DIRECTORY | O_CREAT</title>

[ Upstream commit 43b450632676fb60e9faeddff285d9fac94a4f58 ]

After a couple of years and multiple LTS releases we received a report
that the behavior of O_DIRECTORY | O_CREAT changed starting with v5.7.

On kernels prior to v5.7 combinations of O_DIRECTORY, O_CREAT, O_EXCL
had the following semantics:

(1) open("/tmp/d", O_DIRECTORY | O_CREAT)
    * d doesn't exist:                create regular file
    * d exists and is a regular file: ENOTDIR
    * d exists and is a directory:    EISDIR

(2) open("/tmp/d", O_DIRECTORY | O_CREAT | O_EXCL)
    * d doesn't exist:                create regular file
    * d exists and is a regular file: EEXIST
    * d exists and is a directory:    EEXIST

(3) open("/tmp/d", O_DIRECTORY | O_EXCL)
    * d doesn't exist:                ENOENT
    * d exists and is a regular file: ENOTDIR
    * d exists and is a directory:    open directory

On kernels since to v5.7 combinations of O_DIRECTORY, O_CREAT, O_EXCL
have the following semantics:

(1) open("/tmp/d", O_DIRECTORY | O_CREAT)
    * d doesn't exist:                ENOTDIR (create regular file)
    * d exists and is a regular file: ENOTDIR
    * d exists and is a directory:    EISDIR

(2) open("/tmp/d", O_DIRECTORY | O_CREAT | O_EXCL)
    * d doesn't exist:                ENOTDIR (create regular file)
    * d exists and is a regular file: EEXIST
    * d exists and is a directory:    EEXIST

(3) open("/tmp/d", O_DIRECTORY | O_EXCL)
    * d doesn't exist:                ENOENT
    * d exists and is a regular file: ENOTDIR
    * d exists and is a directory:    open directory

This is a fairly substantial semantic change that userspace didn't
notice until Pedro took the time to deliberately figure out corner
cases. Since no one noticed this breakage we can somewhat safely assume
that O_DIRECTORY | O_CREAT combinations are likely unused.

The v5.7 breakage is especially weird because while ENOTDIR is returned
indicating failure a regular file is actually created. This doesn't make
a lot of sense.

Time was spent finding potential users of this combination. Searching on
codesearch.debian.net showed that codebases often express semantical
expectations about O_DIRECTORY | O_CREAT which are completely contrary
to what our code has done and currently does.

The expectation often is that this particular combination would create
and open a directory. This suggests users who tried to use that
combination would stumble upon the counterintuitive behavior no matter
if pre-v5.7 or post v5.7 and quickly realize neither semantics give them
what they want. For some examples see the code examples in [1] to [3]
and the discussion in [4].

There are various ways to address this issue. The lazy/simple option
would be to restore the pre-v5.7 behavior and to just live with that bug
forever. But since there's a real chance that the O_DIRECTORY | O_CREAT
quirk isn't relied upon we should try to get away with murder(ing bad
semantics) first. If we need to Frankenstein pre-v5.7 behavior later so
be it.

So let's simply return EINVAL categorically for O_DIRECTORY | O_CREAT
combinations. In addition to cleaning up the old bug this also opens up
the possiblity to make that flag combination do something more intuitive
in the future.

Starting with this commit the following semantics apply:

(1) open("/tmp/d", O_DIRECTORY | O_CREAT)
    * d doesn't exist:                EINVAL
    * d exists and is a regular file: EINVAL
    * d exists and is a directory:    EINVAL

(2) open("/tmp/d", O_DIRECTORY | O_CREAT | O_EXCL)
    * d doesn't exist:                EINVAL
    * d exists and is a regular file: EINVAL
    * d exists and is a directory:    EINVAL

(3) open("/tmp/d", O_DIRECTORY | O_EXCL)
    * d doesn't exist:                ENOENT
    * d exists and is a regular file: ENOTDIR
    * d exists and is a directory:    open directory

One additional note, O_TMPFILE is implemented as:

    #define __O_TMPFILE    020000000
    #define O_TMPFILE      (__O_TMPFILE | O_DIRECTORY)
    #define O_TMPFILE_MASK (__O_TMPFILE | O_DIRECTORY | O_CREAT)

For older kernels it was important to return an explicit error when
O_TMPFILE wasn't supported. So O_TMPFILE requires that O_DIRECTORY is
raised alongside __O_TMPFILE. It also enforced that O_CREAT wasn't
specified. Since O_DIRECTORY | O_CREAT could be used to create a regular
allowing that combination together with __O_TMPFILE would've meant that
false positives were possible, i.e., that a regular file was created
instead of a O_TMPFILE. This could've been used to trick userspace into
thinking it operated on a O_TMPFILE when it wasn't.

Now that we block O_DIRECTORY | O_CREAT completely the check for O_CREAT
in the __O_TMPFILE branch via if ((flags &amp; O_TMPFILE_MASK) != O_TMPFILE)
can be dropped. Instead we can simply check verify that O_DIRECTORY is
raised via if (!(flags &amp; O_DIRECTORY)) and explain this in two comments.

As Aleksa pointed out O_PATH is unaffected by this change since it
always returned EINVAL if O_CREAT was specified - with or without
O_DIRECTORY.

[ Upstream commit 43b450632676fb60e9faeddff285d9fac94a4f58 ]

After a couple of years and multiple LTS releases we received a report
that the behavior of O_DIRECTORY | O_CREAT changed starting with v5.7.

On kernels prior to v5.7 combinations of O_DIRECTORY, O_CREAT, O_EXCL
had the following semantics:

(1) open("/tmp/d", O_DIRECTORY | O_CREAT)
    * d doesn't exist:                create regular file
    * d exists and is a regular file: ENOTDIR
    * d exists and is a directory:    EISDIR

(2) open("/tmp/d", O_DIRECTORY | O_CREAT | O_EXCL)
    * d doesn't exist:                create regular file
    * d exists and is a regular file: EEXIST
    * d exists and is a directory:    EEXIST

(3) open("/tmp/d", O_DIRECTORY | O_EXCL)
    * d doesn't exist:                ENOENT
    * d exists and is a regular file: ENOTDIR
    * d exists and is a directory:    open directory

On kernels since to v5.7 combinations of O_DIRECTORY, O_CREAT, O_EXCL
have the following semantics:

(1) open("/tmp/d", O_DIRECTORY | O_CREAT)
    * d doesn't exist:                ENOTDIR (create regular file)
    * d exists and is a regular file: ENOTDIR
    * d exists and is a directory:    EISDIR

(2) open("/tmp/d", O_DIRECTORY | O_CREAT | O_EXCL)
    * d doesn't exist:                ENOTDIR (create regular file)
    * d exists and is a regular file: EEXIST
    * d exists and is a directory:    EEXIST

(3) open("/tmp/d", O_DIRECTORY | O_EXCL)
    * d doesn't exist:                ENOENT
    * d exists and is a regular file: ENOTDIR
    * d exists and is a directory:    open directory

This is a fairly substantial semantic change that userspace didn't
notice until Pedro took the time to deliberately figure out corner
cases. Since no one noticed this breakage we can somewhat safely assume
that O_DIRECTORY | O_CREAT combinations are likely unused.

The v5.7 breakage is especially weird because while ENOTDIR is returned
indicating failure a regular file is actually created. This doesn't make
a lot of sense.

Time was spent finding potential users of this combination. Searching on
codesearch.debian.net showed that codebases often express semantical
expectations about O_DIRECTORY | O_CREAT which are completely contrary
to what our code has done and currently does.

The expectation often is that this particular combination would create
and open a directory. This suggests users who tried to use that
combination would stumble upon the counterintuitive behavior no matter
if pre-v5.7 or post v5.7 and quickly realize neither semantics give them
what they want. For some examples see the code examples in [1] to [3]
and the discussion in [4].

There are various ways to address this issue. The lazy/simple option
would be to restore the pre-v5.7 behavior and to just live with that bug
forever. But since there's a real chance that the O_DIRECTORY | O_CREAT
quirk isn't relied upon we should try to get away with murder(ing bad
semantics) first. If we need to Frankenstein pre-v5.7 behavior later so
be it.

So let's simply return EINVAL categorically for O_DIRECTORY | O_CREAT
combinations. In addition to cleaning up the old bug this also opens up
the possiblity to make that flag combination do something more intuitive
in the future.

Starting with this commit the following semantics apply:

(1) open("/tmp/d", O_DIRECTORY | O_CREAT)
    * d doesn't exist:                EINVAL
    * d exists and is a regular file: EINVAL
    * d exists and is a directory:    EINVAL

(2) open("/tmp/d", O_DIRECTORY | O_CREAT | O_EXCL)
    * d doesn't exist:                EINVAL
    * d exists and is a regular file: EINVAL
    * d exists and is a directory:    EINVAL

(3) open("/tmp/d", O_DIRECTORY | O_EXCL)
    * d doesn't exist:                ENOENT
    * d exists and is a regular file: ENOTDIR
    * d exists and is a directory:    open directory

One additional note, O_TMPFILE is implemented as:

    #define __O_TMPFILE    020000000
    #define O_TMPFILE      (__O_TMPFILE | O_DIRECTORY)
    #define O_TMPFILE_MASK (__O_TMPFILE | O_DIRECTORY | O_CREAT)

For older kernels it was important to return an explicit error when
O_TMPFILE wasn't supported. So O_TMPFILE requires that O_DIRECTORY is
raised alongside __O_TMPFILE. It also enforced that O_CREAT wasn't
specified. Since O_DIRECTORY | O_CREAT could be used to create a regular
allowing that combination together with __O_TMPFILE would've meant that
false positives were possible, i.e., that a regular file was created
instead of a O_TMPFILE. This could've been used to trick userspace into
thinking it operated on a O_TMPFILE when it wasn't.

Now that we block O_DIRECTORY | O_CREAT completely the check for O_CREAT
in the __O_TMPFILE branch via if ((flags &amp; O_TMPFILE_MASK) != O_TMPFILE)
can be dropped. Instead we can simply check verify that O_DIRECTORY is
raised via if (!(flags &amp; O_DIRECTORY)) and explain this in two comments.

As Aleksa pointed out O_PATH is unaffected by this change since it
always returned EINVAL if O_CREAT was specified - with or without
O_DIRECTORY.
