  ddc65971bb677aa9 ("prctl: add PR_GET_AUXV to copy auxv to userspace")

To pick the changes in:

That don't result in any changes in tooling:

  $ tools/perf/trace/beauty/prctl_option.sh &gt; before
  $ cp include/uapi/linux/prctl.h tools/include/uapi/linux/prctl.h

  $ diff -u before after

This actually adds a new prctl arg, but it has to be dealt with
differently, as it is not in sequence with the other arguments.

Just silences this perf tools build warning:

  Warning: Kernel ABI header at 'tools/include/uapi/linux/prctl.h' differs from latest version at 'include/uapi/linux/prctl.h'
  diff -u tools/include/uapi/linux/prctl.h include/uapi/linux/prctl.h

<title>selftests/mm: add new selftests for KSM</title>

<id>urn:sha1:07115fcc15b4aa5c268fb80b82ad15868a82a285</id>
<content type='text'>
This adds three new tests to the selftests for KSM.  These tests use the
new prctl API's to enable and disable KSM.

1) add new prctl flags to prctl header file in tools dir

   This adds the new prctl flags to the include file prct.h in the
   tools directory.  This makes sure they are available for testing.

2) add KSM prctl merge test to ksm_tests

   This adds the -t option to the ksm_tests program.  The -t flag
   allows to specify if it should use madvise or prctl ksm merging.

3) add two functions for debugging merge outcome for ksm_tests

   This adds two functions to report the metrics in /proc/self/ksm_stat
   and /sys/kernel/debug/mm/ksm. The debug output is enabled with the
   -d option.

4) add KSM prctl test to ksm_functional_tests

   This adds a test to the ksm_functional_test that verifies that the
   prctl system call to enable / disable KSM works.

5) add KSM fork test to ksm_functional_test

   Add fork test to verify that the MMF_VM_MERGE_ANY flag is inherited
   by the child process.

<content type='text'>
This constant was previously an unsigned long, but was changed
into an int in commit 433c38f40f6a ("arm64: mte: change ASYNC and
SYNC TCF settings into bitfields"). This ended up causing spurious
unsigned-signed comparison warnings in expressions such as:

(x &amp; PR_MTE_TCF_MASK) != PR_MTE_TCF_NONE

Therefore, change it back into an unsigned long to silence these
warnings.

<id>urn:sha1:7ac592aa35a684ff1858fb9ec282886b9e3575ac</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch provides support for setting and copying core scheduling
'task cookies' between threads (PID), processes (TGID), and process
groups (PGID).

The value of core scheduling isn't that tasks don't share a core,
'nosmt' can do that. The value lies in exploiting all the sharing
opportunities that exist to recover possible lost performance and that
requires a degree of flexibility in the API.

From a security perspective (and there are others), the thread,
process and process group distinction is an existent hierarchal
categorization of tasks that reflects many of the security concerns
about 'data sharing'. For example, protecting against cache-snooping
by a thread that can just read the memory directly isn't all that
useful.

With this in mind, subcommands to CREATE/SHARE (TO/FROM) provide a
mechanism to create and share cookies. CREATE/SHARE_TO specify a
target pid with enum pidtype used to specify the scope of the targeted
tasks. For example, PIDTYPE_TGID will share the cookie with the
process and all of it's threads as typically desired in a security
scenario.

API:

  prctl(PR_SCHED_CORE, PR_SCHED_CORE_GET, tgtpid, pidtype, &amp;cookie)
  prctl(PR_SCHED_CORE, PR_SCHED_CORE_CREATE, tgtpid, pidtype, NULL)
  prctl(PR_SCHED_CORE, PR_SCHED_CORE_SHARE_TO, tgtpid, pidtype, NULL)
  prctl(PR_SCHED_CORE, PR_SCHED_CORE_SHARE_FROM, srcpid, pidtype, NULL)

where 'tgtpid/srcpid == 0' implies the current process and pidtype is
kernel enum pid_type {PIDTYPE_PID, PIDTYPE_TGID, PIDTYPE_PGID, ...}.

For return values, EINVAL, ENOMEM are what they say. ESRCH means the
tgtpid/srcpid was not found. EPERM indicates lack of PTRACE permission
access to tgtpid/srcpid. ENODEV indicates your machines lacks SMT.
