[ Upstream commit e5cce1b9c82fbd48e2f1f7a25a9fad8ee228176f ]

In fef2a735167a827a ("perf tools: Kill die()") the die() function was
removed, but not the prototype in util.h, now when building with
LIBPERL=1, during a 'make -C tools/perf build-test' routine test, it is
failing as perl likes die() calls and then this clashes with this
remnant, remove it.

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 3a61fd866ef9aaa1d3158b460f852b74a2df07f4 ]

expr__find_ids() propagates the parser return value directly.  For syntax
errors, the parser can return a positive value, but callers treat it as
success, e.g., for below case on Arm64 platform:

  metric expr 100 * (STALL_SLOT_BACKEND / (CPU_CYCLES * #slots) - BR_MIS_PRED * 3 / CPU_CYCLES) for backend_bound
  parsing metric: 100 * (STALL_SLOT_BACKEND / (CPU_CYCLES * #slots) - BR_MIS_PRED * 3 / CPU_CYCLES)
  Failure to read '#slots' literal: #slots = nan
  syntax error

Convert positive parser returns in expr__find_ids() to -EINVAL, as a
result, the error value will be respected by callers.

Before:

  perf stat -C 5
  Failure to read '#slots'Failure to read '#slots'Failure to read '#slots'Failure to read '#slots'Segmentation fault

After:

  perf stat -C 5
  Failure to read '#slots'Cannot find metric or group `Default'

[ Upstream commit 6c478e7b3eba3f387a2d6c749e3e3ee0f8ad1c53 ]

Building perf with CORESIGHT=1 and the optional CSTRACE_RAW=1 enables
additional debug printing of raw trace data when using command:-
perf report --dump.

This raw trace prints the CoreSight formatted trace frames, which may be
used to investigate suspected issues with trace quality / corruption /
decode.

These frames are not present in ETE + TRBE trace.
This fix removes the unnecessary call to print these frames.

This fix also rationalises implementation - original code had helper
function that unnecessarily repeated initialisation calls that had
already been made.

Due to an addtional fault with the OpenCSD library, this call when ETE/TRBE
are being decoded will cause a segfault in perf. This fix also prevents
that problem for perf using older (&lt;= 1.8.0 version) OpenCSD libraries.

avoid an increment of NULL. This was happening in calls from
has_stitched_lbr when running the "perf record LBR tests". The return
value isn't used in that case, so returning NULL as no effect.

<title>ktest: Run POST_KTEST hooks on failure and cancellation</title>

PRE_KTEST can be useful for setting up the environment and POST_KTEST to
tear it down, however POST_KTEST only runs on the normal end-of-run path.
It is skipped when ktest exits through dodie() or cancel_test(). Final
cleanup hooks are skipped.

Factor the final hook execution into run_post_ktest(), call it from the
normal exit path and from the early exit paths, and guard it so the hook
runs at most once.

<title>ktest: Honor empty per-test option overrides</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit a2de57a3c8192dcd67cccaff6c341b93748d799b ]

A per-test override can clear an inherited default option by assigning an
empty value, but __set_test_option() still used option_defined() to decide
whether a per-test key existed. That turned an empty per-test assignment
back into "fall back to the default", so tests still could not clear
inherited settings.

For example:

  DEFAULTS
  (...)
  LOG_FILE = /tmp/ktest-empty-override.log
  CLEAR_LOG = 1
  ADD_CONFIG = /tmp/.config

  TEST_START
  TEST_TYPE = build
  BUILD_TYPE = nobuild
  ADD_CONFIG =

This would run the test with ADD_CONFIG[1] = /tmp/.config

Fix by checking whether the per-test key exists before falling back. If it
does exist but is empty, treat it as unset for that test and stop the
fallback chain there.

check_buildlog() probes $warnings_file with -f even when WARNINGS_FILE is
not configured. Perl warns about the uninitialized value and adds noise to
the test log, which can hide the output we actually care about.

Check that WARNINGS_FILE is defined before testing whether the file exists.

[ Upstream commit 2d028f3e4bbbfd448928a8d3d2814b0b04c214f4 ]

The test_memcg_sock test in memcontrol.c sets up an IPv6 socket and send
data over it to consume memory and verify that memory.stat.sock and
memory.current values are close.

On systems where IPv6 isn't enabled or not configured to support
SOCK_STREAM, the test_memcg_sock test always fails.  When the socket()
call fails, there is no way we can test the memory consumption and verify
the above claim.  I believe it is better to just skip the test in this
case instead of reporting a test failure hinting that there may be
something wrong with the memcg code.

<id>urn:sha1:a9e777f856cd2f1efc106afc7bf21aef868509d5</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 1c22483a2c4bbf747787f328392ca3e68619c4dc ]

CO-RE accessor strings are colon-separated indices that describe a path
from a root BTF type to a target field, e.g. "0:1:2" walks through
nested struct members. bpf_core_parse_spec() parses each component with
sscanf("%d"), so negative values like -1 are silently accepted.  The
subsequent bounds checks (access_idx &gt;= btf_vlen(t)) only guard the
upper bound and always pass for negative values because C integer
promotion converts the __u16 btf_vlen result to int, making the
comparison (int)(-1) &gt;= (int)(N) false for any positive N.

When -1 reaches btf_member_bit_offset() it gets cast to u32 0xffffffff,
producing an out-of-bounds read far past the members array.  A crafted
BPF program with a negative CO-RE accessor on any struct that exists in
vmlinux BTF (e.g. task_struct) crashes the kernel deterministically
during BPF_PROG_LOAD on any system with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF=y
(default on major distributions).  The bug is reachable with CAP_BPF:

 BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffed11818b6626

CO-RE accessor indices are inherently non-negative (struct member index,
array element index, or enumerator index), so reject them immediately
after parsing.

commit 768059ede35f197575a38b10797b52402d9d4d2f upstream.

The Perl localtime() function returns the month starting at 0 not 1. This
caused the date produced to create the directory for saving files of a
failed run to have the month off by one.

  machine-test-useconfig-fail-20260314073628

The above happened in April, not March. The correct name should have been:

  machine-test-useconfig-fail-20260414073628

This was somewhat confusing.
