[ Upstream commit bc4f359b3b607daac0290d0038561237a86b38cb ]

Overwriting the error code with the deletion result may cause the
function to return 0 despite encountering an error. Commit b111545d26c0
("tracing: Remove the useless value assignment in
test_create_synth_event()") solves a similar issue by
returning the original error code, so this patch does the same.

<title>sched_getaffinity: don't assume 'cpumask_size()' is fully initialized</title>

<id>urn:sha1:c8943cf3ab9b83c4cdc448279dfdbd03b7beeb93</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 6015b1aca1a233379625385feb01dd014aca60b5 ]

The getaffinity() system call uses 'cpumask_size()' to decide how big
the CPU mask is - so far so good.  It is indeed the allocation size of a
cpumask.

But the code also assumes that the whole allocation is initialized
without actually doing so itself.  That's wrong, because we might have
fixed-size allocations (making copying and clearing more efficient), but
not all of it is then necessarily used if 'nr_cpu_ids' is smaller.

Having checked other users of 'cpumask_size()', they all seem to be ok,
either using it purely for the allocation size, or explicitly zeroing
the cpumask before using the size in bytes to copy it.

See for example the ublk_ctrl_get_queue_affinity() function that uses
the proper 'zalloc_cpumask_var()' to make sure that the whole mask is
cleared, whether the storage is on the stack or if it was an external
allocation.

Fix this by just zeroing the allocation before using it.  Do the same
for the compat version of sched_getaffinity(), which had the same logic.

Also, for consistency, make sched_getaffinity() use 'cpumask_bits()' to
access the bits.  For a cpumask_var_t, it ends up being a pointer to the
same data either way, but it's just a good idea to treat it like you
would a 'cpumask_t'.  The compat case already did that.

[ Upstream commit e0213434fe3e4a0d118923dc98d31e7ff1cd9e45 ]

Histogram values can not be strings, stacktraces, graphs, symbols,
syscalls, or grouped in buckets or log. Give an error if a value is set to
do so.

Note, the histogram code was not prepared to handle these modifiers for
histograms and caused a bug.

for the histograms of large values.
E.g. this shows the runtime percentage for each tasks.

[ Upstream commit 5eb39cde1e2487ba5ec1802dc5e58a77e700d99e ]

Nathan reported that when building with GNU as and a version of clang that
defaults to DWARF5, the assembler will complain with:

  Error: non-constant .uleb128 is not supported

This is because `-g` defaults to the compiler debug info default. If the
assembler does not support some of the directives used, the above errors
occur. To fix, remove the explicit passing of `-g`.

All the test wants is that stack traces print valid function names, and
debug info is not required for that. (I currently cannot recall why I
added the explicit `-g`.)

commit a53ce18cacb477dd0513c607f187d16f0fa96f71 upstream.

Commit 829c1651e9c4 ("sched/fair: sanitize vruntime of entity being placed")
fixes an overflowing bug, but ignore a case that se-&gt;exec_start is reset
after a migration.

For fixing this case, we delay the reset of se-&gt;exec_start after
placing the entity which se-&gt;exec_start to detect long sleeping task.

In order to take into account a possible divergence between the clock_task
of 2 rqs, we increase the threshold to around 104 days.

commit 829c1651e9c4a6f78398d3e67651cef9bb6b42cc upstream.

When a scheduling entity is placed onto cfs_rq, its vruntime is pulled
to the base level (around cfs_rq-&gt;min_vruntime), so that the entity
doesn't gain extra boost when placed backwards.

However, if the entity being placed wasn't executed for a long time, its
vruntime may get too far behind (e.g. while cfs_rq was executing a
low-weight hog), which can inverse the vruntime comparison due to s64
overflow.  This results in the entity being placed with its original
vruntime way forwards, so that it will effectively never get to the cpu.

To prevent that, ignore the vruntime of the entity being placed if it
didn't execute for much longer than the characteristic sheduler time
scale.

[ Upstream commit b416514054810cf2d2cc348ae477cea619b64da7 ]

RCU sometimes needs to perform a delayed wake up for specific kthreads
handling offloaded callbacks (RCU_NOCB).  These wakeups are performed
by timers and upon entry to idle (also to guest and to user on nohz_full).

However the delayed wake-up on kernel exit is actually performed after
the thread flags are fetched towards the fast path check for work to
do on exit to user. As a result, and if there is no other pending work
to do upon that kernel exit, the current task will resume to userspace
with TIF_RESCHED set and the pending wake up ignored.

Fix this with fetching the thread flags _after_ the delayed RCU-nocb
kthread wake-up.

Fixes: 47b8ff194c1f ("entry: Explicitly flush pending rcuog wakeup before last rescheduling point")
