[ Upstream commit 54b353a20c7e8be98414754f5aff98c8a68fcc1f ]

The --for-each-cgroup can have the same cgroup multiple times, but this
confuses BPF counters (since they have the same cgroup id), making only
the last cgroup events to be counted.

Let's check the cgroup name before adding a new entry to the cgroups
list.

Before:

  $ sudo ./perf stat -a --bpf-counters --for-each-cgroup /,/ sleep 1

   Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

       &lt;not counted&gt; msec cpu-clock                        /

Committer notes:

As a reminder, to test with BPF counters one has to use BUILD_BPF_SKEL=1
in the make command line and have clang/llvm installed when building
perf, otherwise the --bpf-counters option will not be available:

  # perf stat -a --bpf-counters --for-each-cgroup /,/ sleep 1
  Error: unknown option `bpf-counters'

   Usage: perf stat [&lt;options&gt;] [&lt;command&gt;]

      -a, --all-cpus        system-wide collection from all CPUs

[ Upstream commit 2d656b0f81b22101db0447f890e39fdd736b745e ]

When --for-each-cgroup option is used, it fails when any of events is
not supported and exits immediately.  This is not how 'perf stat'
handles unsupported events.

Let's ignore the failure and proceed with others so that the output is
similar to when BPF counters are not used:

Before:

  $ sudo ./perf stat -a --bpf-counters -e L1-icache-loads,L1-dcache-loads --for-each-cgroup system.slice,user.slice sleep 1
  Failed to open first cgroup events
  $

After it shows output similat to when --bpf-counters isn't specified:

  $ sudo ./perf stat -a --bpf-counters -e L1-icache-loads,L1-dcache-loads --for-each-cgroup system.slice,user.slice sleep 1

   Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

     &lt;not supported&gt;      L1-icache-loads                  system.slice
          29,892,418      L1-dcache-loads                  system.slice
     &lt;not supported&gt;      L1-icache-loads                  user.slice
          52,497,220      L1-dcache-loads                  user.slice
  $

<title>perf lock contention: Fix core dump related to not finding the "__sched_text_end" symbol on s/390</title>

[ Upstream commit d8d85ce86dc82de4f88b821a78f533b9d5b22a45 ]

The test case perf lock contention dumps core on s390. Run the following
commands:

  # ./perf lock record -- ./perf bench sched messaging
  # Running 'sched/messaging' benchmark:
  # 20 sender and receiver processes per group
  # 10 groups == 400 processes run

  #

The function call stack is lengthy, here are the top 5 functions:

  # gdb ./perf core.24048
  GNU gdb (GDB) Fedora Linux 12.1-6.fc37
  Core was generated by `./perf lock contention'.
  Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

  .....

The issue is in function machine__is_lock_function() in file
./util/machine.c lines 3355:

   /* should not fail from here */
   sym = machine__find_kernel_symbol_by_name(machine, "__sched_text_end", &amp;kmap);
   machine-&gt;sched.text_end = kmap-&gt;unmap_ip(kmap, sym-&gt;start)

On s390 the symbol __sched_text_end is *NOT* in the symbol list and the
resulting pointer sym is set to NULL. The sym-&gt;start is then a NULL pointer
access and generates the core dump.

The reason why __sched_text_end is not in the symbol list on s390 is
simple:

When the symbol list is created at perf start up with function calls

  dso__load
  +--&gt; dso__load_vmlinux_path
       +--&gt; dso__load_vmlinux
            +--&gt; dso__load_sym
	         +--&gt; dso__load_sym_internal (reads kernel symbols)
		 +--&gt; symbols__fixup_end
		 +--&gt; symbols__fixup_duplicate

The issue is in function symbols__fixup_duplicate(). It deletes all
symbols with have the same address. On s390:

  # nm -g  ~/linux/vmlinux| fgrep c68390
  0000000000c68390 T __cpuidle_text_start
  0000000000c68390 T __sched_text_end
  #

two symbols have identical addresses and __sched_text_end is considered
duplicate (in ascending sort order) and removed from the symbol list.
Therefore it is missing and an invalid pointer reference occurs.  The
code checks for symbol __sched_text_start and when it exists assumes
symbol __sched_text_end is also in the symbol table. However this is not
the case on s390.

Same situation exists for symbol __lock_text_start:

0000000000c68770 T __cpuidle_text_end
0000000000c68770 T __lock_text_start

This symbol is also removed from the symbol table but used in function
machine__is_lock_function().

To fix this and keep duplicate symbols in the symbol table, set
symbol_conf.allow_aliases to true. This prevents the removal of
duplicate symbols in function symbols__fixup_duplicate().

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 9c4d7f45d60745a1cea0e841fa5e3444c398d2f1 ]

The cleanup_v6() will cause the arp_ndisc_evict_nocarrier script exit
with 255 (No such file or directory), even the tests are good:

 # selftests: net: arp_ndisc_evict_nocarrier.sh
 # run arp_evict_nocarrier=1 test
 # RTNETLINK answers: File exists
 # ok
 # run arp_evict_nocarrier=0 test
 # RTNETLINK answers: File exists
 # ok
 # run all.arp_evict_nocarrier=0 test
 # RTNETLINK answers: File exists
 # ok
 # run ndisc_evict_nocarrier=1 test
 # ok
 # run ndisc_evict_nocarrier=0 test
 # ok
 # run all.ndisc_evict_nocarrier=0 test
 # ok
 not ok 1 selftests: net: arp_ndisc_evict_nocarrier.sh # exit=255

This is because it's trying to modify the parameter for ipv4 instead.

Also, tests for ipv6 (run_ndisc_evict_nocarrier_enabled() and
run_ndisc_evict_nocarrier_disabled() are working on veth1, reflect
this fact in cleanup_v6().

[ Upstream commit a9dfc46c67b52ad43b8e335e28f4cf8002c67793 ]

DWARF version 5 standard Sec 2.14 says that

  Any debugging information entry representing the declaration of an object,
  module, subprogram or type may have DW_AT_decl_file, DW_AT_decl_line and
  DW_AT_decl_column attributes, each of whose value is an unsigned integer
  constant.

So it should be an unsigned integer data. Also, even though the standard
doesn't clearly say the DW_AT_call_file is signed or unsigned, the
elfutils (eu-readelf) interprets it as unsigned integer data and it is
natural to handle it as unsigned integer data as same as DW_AT_decl_file.
This changes the DW_AT_call_file as unsigned integer data too.

[ Upstream commit f828929ab7f0dc3353e4a617f94f297fa8f3dec3 ]

Use dwarf_attr_integrate() instead of dwarf_attr() for generic attribute
acccessor functions, so that it can find the specified attribute from
abstact origin DIE etc.

<title>selftests: Use optional USERCFLAGS and USERLDFLAGS</title>

commit de3ee3f63400a23954e7c1ad1cb8c20f29ab6fe3 upstream.

This change enables to extend CFLAGS and LDFLAGS from command line, e.g.
to extend compiler checks: make USERCFLAGS=-Werror USERLDFLAGS=-static

USERCFLAGS and USERLDFLAGS are documented in
Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.rst and Documentation/kbuild/kbuild.rst

This should be backported (down to 5.10) to improve previous kernel
versions testing as well.

<title>ktest.pl minconfig: Unset configs instead of just removing them</title>

commit ef784eebb56425eed6e9b16e7d47e5c00dcf9c38 upstream.

After a full run of a make_min_config test, I noticed there were a lot of
CONFIGs still enabled that really should not be. Looking at them, I
noticed they were all defined as "default y". The issue is that the test
simple removes the config and re-runs make oldconfig, which enables it
again because it is set to default 'y'. Instead, explicitly disable the
config with writing "# CONFIG_FOO is not set" to the file to keep it from
being set again.

With this change, one of my box's minconfigs went from 768 configs set,
down to 521 configs set.
