[ Upstream commit 73989c998814d82c71d523c104c398925470d59e ]

TRACE_syscall.ptrace.negative_ENOSYS and TRACE_syscall.seccomp.negative_ENOSYS
on arm32 are being reported as failures instead of skipping.

The teardown_trace_fixture function sets the test to KSFT_FAIL in case of a
non 0 return value from the tracer process.
Due to _metadata now being shared between the forked processes the tracer is
returning the KSFT_SKIP value set by the tracee which is non 0.

Remove the setting of the _metadata.exit_code in teardown_trace_fixture.

[ Upstream commit 797002deed03491215a352ace891749b39741b69 ]

The inconsistencies in the systcall ABI between arm and arm-compat can
can cause a failure in the syscall_restart test due to the logic
attempting to work around the differences. The 'machine' field for an
ARM64 device running in compat mode can report 'armv8l' or 'armv8b'
which matches with the string 'arm' when only examining the first three
characters of the string.

This change adds additional validation to the workaround logic to make
sure we only take the arm path when running natively, not in arm-compat.

<title>minmax: make generic MIN() and MAX() macros available everywhere</title>
<updated>2024-07-28T22:49:18+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.radix-linux.su/kernel/linux.git/commit/?id=1a251f52cfdc417c84411a056bc142cbd77baef4'/>
<id>urn:sha1:1a251f52cfdc417c84411a056bc142cbd77baef4</id>
<content type='text'>
This just standardizes the use of MIN() and MAX() macros, with the very
traditional semantics.  The goal is to use these for C constant
expressions and for top-level / static initializers, and so be able to
simplify the min()/max() macros.

These macro names were used by various kernel code - they are very
traditional, after all - and all such users have been fixed up, with a
few different approaches:

 - trivial duplicated macro definitions have been removed

   Note that 'trivial' here means that it's obviously kernel code that
   already included all the major kernel headers, and thus gets the new
   generic MIN/MAX macros automatically.

 - non-trivial duplicated macro definitions are guarded with #ifndef

   This is the "yes, they define their own versions, but no, the include
   situation is not entirely obvious, and maybe they don't get the
   generic version automatically" case.

 - strange use case #1

   A couple of drivers decided that the way they want to describe their
   versioning is with

	#define MAJ 1
	#define MIN 2
	#define DRV_VERSION __stringify(MAJ) "." __stringify(MIN)

   which adds zero value and I just did my Alexander the Great
   impersonation, and rewrote that pointless Gordian knot as

	#define DRV_VERSION "1.2"

   instead.

 - strange use case #2

   A couple of drivers thought that it's a good idea to have a random
   'MIN' or 'MAX' define for a value or index into a table, rather than
   the traditional macro that takes arguments.

   These values were re-written as C enum's instead. The new
   function-line macros only expand when followed by an open
   parenthesis, and thus don't clash with enum use.

Happily, there weren't really all that many of these cases, and a lot of
users already had the pattern of using '#ifndef' guarding (or in one
case just using '#undef MIN') before defining their own private version
that does the same thing. I left such cases alone.

<title>selftests/seccomp: Try to fit runtime of benchmark into timeout</title>

<id>urn:sha1:7155cc454430cc855c333a4a267688f3bd1277f7</id>
<content type='text'>
The seccomp benchmark runs five scenarios, one calibration run with no
seccomp filters enabled then four further runs each adding a filter. The
calibration run times itself for 15s and then each additional run executes
for the same number of times.

Currently the seccomp tests, including the benchmark, run with an extended
120s timeout but this is not sufficient to robustly run the tests on a lot
of platforms. Sample timings from some recent runs:

   Platform          Run 1  Run 2  Run 3  Run 4
   ---------         -----  -----  -----  -----
   PowerEdge R200    16.6s  16.6s  31.6s  37.4s
   BBB (arm)         20.4s  20.4s  54.5s
   Synquacer (arm64) 20.7s  23.7s  40.3s

The x86 runs from the PowerEdge are quite marginal and routinely fail, for
the successful run reported here the timed portions of the run are at
117.2s leaving less than 3s of margin which is frequently breached. The
added overhead of adding filters on the other platforms is such that there
is no prospect of their runs fitting into the 120s timeout, especially
on 32 bit arm where there is no BPF JIT.

While we could lower the time we calibrate for I'm also already seeing the
currently completing runs reporting issues with the per filter overheads
not matching expectations:

Let's instead raise the timeout to 180s which is only a 50% increase on the
current timeout which is itself not *too* large given that there's only two
tests in this suite.

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
 "Core &amp; protocols:

   - Large effort by Eric to lower rtnl_lock pressure and remove locks:

      - Make commonly used parts of rtnetlink (address, route dumps
        etc) lockless, protected by RCU instead of rtnl_lock.

      - Add a netns exit callback which already holds rtnl_lock,
        allowing netns exit to take rtnl_lock once in the core instead
        of once for each driver / callback.

      - Remove locks / serialization in the socket diag interface.

      - Remove 6 calls to synchronize_rcu() while holding rtnl_lock.

      - Remove the dev_base_lock, depend on RCU where necessary.

   - Support busy polling on a per-epoll context basis. Poll length and
     budget parameters can be set independently of system defaults.

   - Introduce struct net_hotdata, to make sure read-mostly global
     config variables fit in as few cache lines as possible.

   - Add optional per-nexthop statistics to ease monitoring / debug of
     ECMP imbalance problems.

   - Support TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT in MPTCP.

   - Ensure that IPv6 temporary addresses' preferred lifetimes are long
     enough, compared to other configured lifetimes, and at least 2 sec.

   - Support forwarding of ICMP Error messages in IPSec, per RFC 4301.

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

   - Add "network ID" to MCTP socket APIs to support hosts with multiple
     disjoint MCTP networks.

   - Re-use the mono_delivery_time skbuff bit for packets which user
     space wants to be sent at a specified time. Maintain the timing
     information while traversing veth links, bridge etc.

   - Take advantage of MSG_SPLICE_PAGES for RxRPC DATA and ACK packets.

   - Simplify many places iterating over netdevs by using an xarray
     instead of a hash table walk (hash table remains in place, for use
     on fastpaths).

   - Speed up scanning for expired routes by keeping a dedicated list.

   - Speed up "generic" XDP by trying harder to avoid large allocations.

   - Support attaching arbitrary metadata to netconsole messages.

  Things we sprinkled into general kernel code:

   - Enforce VM_IOREMAP flag and range in ioremap_page_range and
     introduce VM_SPARSE kind and vm_area_[un]map_pages (used by
     bpf_arena).

   - Rework selftest harness to enable the use of the full range of ksft
     exit code (pass, fail, skip, xfail, xpass).

  Netfilter:

   - Allow userspace to define a table that is exclusively owned by a
     daemon (via netlink socket aliveness) without auto-removing this
     table when the userspace program exits. Such table gets marked as
     orphaned and a restarting management daemon can re-attach/regain
     ownership.

   - Speed up element insertions to nftables' concatenated-ranges set
     type. Compact a few related data structures.

  BPF:

   - Add BPF token support for delegating a subset of BPF subsystem
     functionality from privileged system-wide daemons such as systemd
     through special mount options for userns-bound BPF fs to a trusted
     &amp; unprivileged application.

   - Introduce bpf_arena which is sparse shared memory region between
     BPF program and user space where structures inside the arena can
     have pointers to other areas of the arena, and pointers work
     seamlessly for both user-space programs and BPF programs.

   - Introduce may_goto instruction that is a contract between the
     verifier and the program. The verifier allows the program to loop
     assuming it's behaving well, but reserves the right to terminate
     it.

   - Extend the BPF verifier to enable static subprog calls in spin lock
     critical sections.

   - Support registration of struct_ops types from modules which helps
     projects like fuse-bpf that seeks to implement a new struct_ops
     type.

   - Add support for retrieval of cookies for perf/kprobe multi links.

   - Support arbitrary TCP SYN cookie generation / validation in the TC
     layer with BPF to allow creating SYN flood handling in BPF
     firewalls.

   - Add code generation to inline the bpf_kptr_xchg() helper which
     improves performance when stashing/popping the allocated BPF
     objects.

  Wireless:

   - Add SPP (signaling and payload protected) AMSDU support.

   - Support wider bandwidth OFDMA, as required for EHT operation.

  Driver API:

   - Major overhaul of the Energy Efficient Ethernet internals to
     support new link modes (2.5GE, 5GE), share more code between
     drivers (especially those using phylib), and encourage more
     uniform behavior. Convert and clean up drivers.

   - Define an API for querying per netdev queue statistics from
     drivers.

   - IPSec: account in global stats for fully offloaded sessions.

   - Create a concept of Ethernet PHY Packages at the Device Tree level,
     to allow parameterizing the existing PHY package code.

   - Enable Rx hashing (RSS) on GTP protocol fields.

  Misc:

   - Improvements and refactoring all over networking selftests.

   - Create uniform module aliases for TC classifiers, actions, and
     packet schedulers to simplify creating modprobe policies.

   - Address all missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() warnings in networking.

   - Extend the Netlink descriptions in YAML to cover message
     encapsulation or "Netlink polymorphism", where interpretation of
     nested attributes depends on link type, classifier type or some
     other "class type".
