commit a4e17a8f239a545c463f8ec27db4ed6e74b31841 upstream.

In the case of a test that uses the special option ${KERNEL_VERSION} in one
of its settings but has no configuration available in ${OUTPUT_DIR}, for
example if it's a new empty directory, then the `make kernelrelease` call
will fail and the subroutine will chomp an empty string, silently. Fix that
by adding an empty configuration and retrying.

<title>selftests/rseq: Fix handling of glibc without rseq support</title>

commit 336d02bc4c6bec5c3d933e5d470a94970f830957 upstream.

When porting librseq commit:

commit c7b45750fa85 ("Adapt to glibc __rseq_size feature detection")

from librseq to the kernel selftests, the following line was missed
at the end of rseq_init():

  rseq_size = get_rseq_kernel_feature_size();

which effectively leaves rseq_size initialized to -1U when glibc does not
have rseq support. glibc supports rseq from version 2.35 onwards.

In a following librseq commit

commit c67d198627c2 ("Only set 'rseq_size' on first thread registration")

to mimic the libc behavior, a new approach is taken: don't set the
feature size in 'rseq_size' until at least one thread has successfully
registered. This allows using 'rseq_size' in fast-paths to test for both
registration status and available features. The caveat is that on libc
either all threads are registered or none are, while with bare librseq
it is the responsability of the user to register all threads using rseq.

This combines the changes from the following librseq git commits:

commit c7b45750fa85 ("Adapt to glibc __rseq_size feature detection")
commit c67d198627c2 ("Only set 'rseq_size' on first thread registration")

[ Upstream commit c7b87ce0dd10b64b68a0b22cb83bbd556e28fe81 ]

libtraceevent parses and returns an array of argument fields, sometimes
larger than RAW_SYSCALL_ARGS_NUM (6) because it includes "__syscall_nr",
idx will traverse to index 6 (7th element) whereas sc-&gt;fmt-&gt;arg holds 6

<title>perf lock: Fix parse_lock_type which only retrieve one lock flag</title>

[ Upstream commit 1be9264158ef4818393e5d8144887a1a5d3cc480 ]

`parse_lock_type` can only add the first lock flag in `lock_type_table`
given input `str`. For example, for `Y rwlock`, it only adds `rwlock:R`
into this perf session. Another example is for `-Y mutex`, it only adds
the mutex without `LCB_F_SPIN` flag. The patch fixes this issue, makes
sure both `rwlock:R` and `rwlock:W` will be added with `-Y rwlock`, and
so on.

Testing:
  $ ./perf lock con -ab -Y mutex,rwlock -- perf bench sched pipe
  # Running 'sched/pipe' benchmark:
  # Executed 1000000 pipe operations between two processes

[ Upstream commit 1be9264158ef4818393e5d8144887a1a5d3cc480 ]

`parse_lock_type` can only add the first lock flag in `lock_type_table`
given input `str`. For example, for `Y rwlock`, it only adds `rwlock:R`
into this perf session. Another example is for `-Y mutex`, it only adds
the mutex without `LCB_F_SPIN` flag. The patch fixes this issue, makes
sure both `rwlock:R` and `rwlock:W` will be added with `-Y rwlock`, and
so on.

Testing:
  $ ./perf lock con -ab -Y mutex,rwlock -- perf bench sched pipe

[ Upstream commit 9c6a585d257f6845731f4e36b45fe42b5c3162f5 ]

When we're processing a perf.data file we will, for every thread in that
file do a machine__findnew_thread(machine, pid, tid) that when that pid
is seen for the first time will create a 'struct thread' representing
it.

That in turn will call nsinfo__new() -&gt; nsinfo__init() and there it will
assume we're running live, which is wrong and will need to be addressed
in a followup patch.

The nsinfo__new() assumes that if we can't access that thread it has
already finished and will ignore the -1 return from nsinfo__init(), just
taking notes to avoid trying to enter in that namespace, since it isn't
there anymore, a race.

When doing this from 'perf inject', tho, we can fill in parts of that
nsinfo from what we get from the PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 (pid, tid) and in the
jitdump file name, that has the form of jit-&lt;PID&gt;.dump.

So if the pid in the jitdump file name is not the one in the
PERF_RECORD_MMAP2, we can assume that its the pid of the process
_inside_ the namespace, and that perf was runing outside that namespace.

This will be done in the following patch.

[ Upstream commit 7a93786c306296f15e728b1dbd949a319e4e3d19 ]

Depending on how vmlinux.lds is written, _etext might be the very first
data symbol instead of the very last text symbol.

Don't require it to be a text symbol, accept any symbol type.

Comitter notes:

See the first Link for further discussion, but it all boils down to
this:

 ---
  # grep -e _stext -e _etext -e _edata /proc/kallsyms
  c0000000 T _stext
  c08b8000 D _etext

  So there is no _edata and _etext is not text

  $ ppc-linux-objdump -x vmlinux | grep -e _stext -e _etext -e _edata
  c0000000 g       .head.text	00000000 _stext
  c08b8000 g       .rodata	00000000 _etext
  c1378000 g       .sbss	00000000 _edata
