libbpf: Fix -Wdiscarded-qualifiers under C23

2026-04-02T11:07:30+00:00

commit d70f79fef65810faf64dbae1f3a1b5623cdb2345 upstream. glibc ≥ 2.42 (GCC 15) defaults to -std=gnu23, which promotes -Wdiscarded-qualifiers to an error. In C23, strstr() and strchr() return "const char *". Change variable types to const char * where the pointers are never modified (res, sym_sfx, next_path).

objtool: Handle Clang RSP musical chairs

[ Upstream commit 7fdaa640c810cb42090a182c33f905bcc47a616a ] For no apparent reason (possibly related to CONFIG_KMSAN), Clang can randomly pass the value of RSP to other registers and then back again to RSP. Handle that accordingly.

kbuild: Leave objtool binary around with 'make clean'

2026-03-25T10:05:56+00:00

[ Upstream commit fdb12c8a24a453bdd6759979b6ef1e04ebd4beb4 ] The difference between 'make clean' and 'make mrproper' is documented in 'make help' as: clean - Remove most generated files but keep the config and enough build support to build external modules mrproper - Remove all generated files + config + various backup files After commit 68b4fe32d737 ("kbuild: Add objtool to top-level clean target"), running 'make clean' then attempting to build an external module with the resulting build directory fails with $ make ARCH=x86_64 O=build clean $ make -C build M=... MO=... ... /bin/sh: line 1: .../build/tools/objtool/objtool: No such file or directory as 'make clean' removes the objtool binary. Split the objtool clean target into mrproper and clean like Kbuild does and remove all generated artifacts with 'make clean' except for the objtool binary, which is removed with 'make mrproper'. To avoid a small race when running the objtool clean target through both objtool_mrproper and objtool_clean when running 'make mrproper', modify objtool's clean up find command to avoid using find's '-delete' command by piping the files into 'xargs rm -f' like the rest of Kbuild does.

selftests: mptcp: join: check RM_ADDR not sent over same subflow

2026-03-25T10:05:56+00:00

[ Upstream commit 560edd99b5f58b2d4bbe3c8e51e1eed68d887b0e ] This validates the previous commit: RM_ADDR were sent over the first found active subflow which could be the same as the one being removed. It is more likely to loose this notification. For this check, RM_ADDR are explicitly dropped when trying to send them over the initial subflow, when removing the endpoint attached to it. If it is dropped, the test will complain because some RM_ADDR have not been received. Note that only the RM_ADDR are dropped, to allow the linked subflow to be quickly and cleanly closed. To only drop those RM_ADDR, a cBPF byte code is used. If the IPTables commands fail, that's OK, the tests will continue to pass, but not validate this part. This can be ignored: another subtest fully depends on such command, and will be marked as skipped. The 'Fixes' tag here below is the same as the one from the previous commit: this patch here is not fixing anything wrong in the selftests, but it validates the previous fix for an issue introduced by this commit ID.

selftests: mptcp: add a check for 'add_addr_accepted'

[ Upstream commit 0eee0fdf9b7b0baf698f9b426384aa9714d76a51 ] The previous patch fixed an issue with the 'add_addr_accepted' counter. This was not spot by the test suite. Check this counter and 'add_addr_signal' in MPTCP Join 'delete re-add signal' test. This should help spotting similar regressions later on. These counters are crucial for ensuring the MPTCP path manager correctly handles the subflow creation via 'ADD_ADDR'.

selftest/arm64: Fix sve2p1_sigill() to hwcap test

2026-03-25T10:05:42+00:00

[ Upstream commit d87c828daa7ead9763416f75cc416496969cf1dc ] The FEAT_SVE2p1 is indicated by ID_AA64ZFR0_EL1.SVEver. However, the BFADD requires the FEAT_SVE_B16B16, which is indicated by ID_AA64ZFR0_EL1.B16B16. This could cause the test to incorrectly fail on a CPU that supports FEAT_SVE2.1 but not FEAT_SVE_B16B16. LD1Q Gather load quadwords which is decoded from SVE encodings and implied by FEAT_SVE2p1.

kunit: tool: copy caller args in run_kernel to prevent mutation

2026-03-25T10:05:40+00:00

[ Upstream commit 40804c4974b8df2adab72f6475d343eaff72b7f6 ] run_kernel() appended KUnit flags directly to the caller-provided args list. When exec_tests() calls run_kernel() repeatedly (e.g. with --run_isolated), each call mutated the same list, causing later runs to inherit stale filter_glob values and duplicate kunit.enable flags. Fix this by copying args at the start of run_kernel(). Add a regression test that calls run_kernel() twice with the same list and verifies the original remains unchanged.

selftests: mptcp: join: check removing signal+subflow endp

2026-03-25T10:05:38+00:00

commit 1777f349ff41b62dfe27454b69c27b0bc99ffca5 upstream. This validates the previous commit: endpoints with both the signal and subflow flags should always be marked as used even if it was not possible to create new subflows due to the MPTCP PM limits. For this test, an extra endpoint is created with both the signal and the subflow flags, and limits are set not to create extra subflows. In this case, an ADD_ADDR is sent, but no subflows are created. Still, the local endpoint is marked as used, and no warning is fired when removing the endpoint, after having sent a RM_ADDR. The 'Fixes' tag here below is the same as the one from the previous commit: this patch here is not fixing anything wrong in the selftests, but it validates the previous fix for an issue introduced by this commit ID.

selftests: mptcp: more stable simult_flows tests

2026-03-25T10:05:38+00:00

commit 8c09412e584d9bcc0e71d758ec1008d1c8d1a326 upstream. By default, the netem qdisc can keep up to 1000 packets under its belly to deal with the configured rate and delay. The simult flows test-case simulates very low speed links, to avoid problems due to slow CPUs and the TCP stack tend to transmit at a slightly higher rate than the (virtual) link constraints. All the above causes a relatively large amount of packets being enqueued in the netem qdiscs - the longer the transfer, the longer the queue - producing increasingly high TCP RTT samples and consequently increasingly larger receive buffer size due to DRS. When the receive buffer size becomes considerably larger than the needed size, the tests results can flake, i.e. because minimal inaccuracy in the pacing rate can lead to a single subflow usage towards the end of the connection for a considerable amount of data. Address the issue explicitly setting netem limits suitable for the configured link speeds and unflake all the affected tests.
