[ Upstream commit 240fd405528bbf7fafa0559202ca7aa524c9cd96 ]

Add support for the independent control state machine per IEEE
802.1AX-2008 5.4.15 in addition to the existing implementation of the
coupled control state machine.

Introduces two new states, AD_MUX_COLLECTING and AD_MUX_DISTRIBUTING in
the LACP MUX state machine for separated handling of an initial
Collecting state before the Collecting and Distributing state. This
enables a port to be in a state where it can receive incoming packets
while not still distributing. This is useful for reducing packet loss when
a port begins distributing before its partner is able to collect.

Added new functions such as bond_set_slave_tx_disabled_flags and
bond_set_slave_rx_enabled_flags to precisely manage the port's collecting
and distributing states. Previously, there was no dedicated method to
disable TX while keeping RX enabled, which this patch addresses.

Note that the regular flow process in the kernel's bonding driver remains
unaffected by this patch. The extension requires explicit opt-in by the
user (in order to ensure no disruptions for existing setups) via netlink
support using the new bonding parameter coupled_control. The default value
for coupled_control is set to 1 so as to preserve existing behaviour.

<title>selftests: mptcp: pm: check flush doesn't reset limits</title>

commit 452690be7de2f91cc0de68cb9e95252875b33503 upstream.

This modification is linked to the parent commit where the received
ADD_ADDR limit was accidentally reset when the endpoints were flushed.

To validate that, the test is now flushing endpoints after having set
new limits, and before checking them.

The 'Fixes' tag here below is the same as the one from the previous
commit: this patch here is not fixing anything wrong in the selftests,
but it validates the previous fix for an issue introduced by this commit
ID.

commit a477629baa2a0e9991f640af418e8c973a1c08e3 upstream.

While nolibc-test does test syscalls, it doesn't test as much the rest
of the macros, and a wrong spelling of FD_SETBITMASK in commit
feaf75658783a broke programs using either FD_SET() or FD_CLR() without
being noticed. Let's fix these macros.

[ Upstream commit 5534e58f2e9bd72b253d033ee0af6e68eb8ac96b ]

When reg-&gt;type is CONST_PTR_TO_MAP, it can not be null. However the
verifier explores the branches under rX == 0 in check_cond_jmp_op()
even if reg-&gt;type is CONST_PTR_TO_MAP, because it was not checked for
in reg_not_null().

Fix this by adding CONST_PTR_TO_MAP to the set of types that are
considered non nullable in reg_not_null().

An old "unpriv: cmp map pointer with zero" selftest fails with this
change, because now early out correctly triggers in
check_cond_jmp_op(), making the verification to pass.

In practice verifier may allow pointer to null comparison in unpriv,
since in many cases the relevant branch and comparison op are removed
as dead code. So change the expected test result to __success_unpriv.

[ Upstream commit 61f7e318e99d3b398670518dd3f4f8510d1800fc ]

If a default variable contains itself, do not recurse on it.

For example:

  ADD_CONFIG := ${CONFIG_DIR}/temp_config
  DEFAULTS
  ADD_CONFIG = ${CONFIG_DIR}/default_config ${ADD_CONFIG}

The above works because the temp variable ADD_CONFIG (is a temp because it
is created with ":=") is already defined, it will be substituted in the
variable option. But if it gets commented out:

  # ADD_CONFIG := ${CONFIG_DIR}/temp_config
  DEFAULTS
  ADD_CONFIG = ${CONFIG_DIR}/default_config ${ADD_CONFIG}

Then the above will go into a recursive loop where ${ADD_CONFIG} will
get replaced with the current definition of ADD_CONFIG which contains the
${ADD_CONFIG} and that will also try to get converted. ktest.pl will error
after 100 attempts of recursion and fail.

When replacing a variable with the default variable, if the default
variable contains itself, do not replace it.

[ Upstream commit cda7ac8ce7de84cf32a3871ba5f318aa3b79381e ]

In the function mperf_start(), mperf_monitor snapshots the time, tsc
and finally the aperf,mperf MSRs. However, this order of snapshotting
in is reversed in mperf_stop(). As a result, the C0 residency (which
is computed as delta_mperf * 100 / delta_tsc) is under-reported on
CPUs that is 100% busy.

Fix this by snapshotting time, tsc and then aperf,mperf in
mperf_stop() in the same order as in mperf_start().
