commit 7362042f3556528e9e9b1eb5ce8d7a3a6331476b upstream.

Below incompatibilities between Python2 and Python3 made lx-timerlist fail
to run under Python3.

o xrange() is replaced by range() in Python3
o bytes and str are different types in Python3
o the return value of Inferior.read_memory() is memoryview object in
  Python3

akpm: cc stable so that older kernels are properly debuggable under newer
Python.

[ Upstream commit 8d87ae48ced2dffd5e7247d19eb4c88be6f1c6f1 ]

The genpd infrastructure uses the terms master/slave, but such uses have
no external exposures (not even in Documentation/driver-api/pm/*) and are
not mandated by nor associated with any external specifications. Change
the language used through-out to parent/child.

There was one possible exception in the debugfs node
"pm_genpd/pm_genpd_summary" but its path has no hits outside of the
kernel itself when performing a code search[1], and it seems even this
single usage has been non-functional since it was introduced due to a
typo in the Python ("apend" instead of correct "append"). Fix the typo
while we're at it.

<title>ftrace/scripts: Update the instructions for ftrace-bisect.sh</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 7ae4ba7195b1bac04a4210a499da9d8c63b0ba9c upstream.

The instructions for the ftrace-bisect.sh script, which is used to find
what function is being traced that is causing a kernel crash, and possibly
a triple fault reboot, uses the old method. In 5.1, a new feature was
added that let the user write in the index into available_filter_functions
that maps to the function a user wants to set in set_ftrace_filter (or
set_ftrace_notrace). This takes O(1) to set, as suppose to writing a
function name, which takes O(n) (where n is the number of functions in
available_filter_functions).

The ftrace-bisect.sh requires setting half of the functions in
available_filter_functions, which is O(n^2) using the name method to enable
and can take several minutes to complete. The number method is O(n) which
takes less than a second to complete. Using the number method for any
kernel 5.1 and after is the proper way to do the bisect.

Update the usage to reflect the new change, as well as using the
/sys/kernel/tracing path instead of the obsolete debugfs path.

[ Upstream commit 2d77de1581bb5b470486edaf17a7d70151131afd ]

Commit 1d1a0e7c5100 ("scripts/faddr2line: Fix overlapping text section
failures") can cause faddr2line to fail on ppc64le on some
distributions, while it works fine on other distributions. The failure
can be attributed to differences in the readelf output.

  $ ./scripts/faddr2line vmlinux find_busiest_group+0x00
  no match for find_busiest_group+0x00

On ppc64le, readelf adds the localentry tag before the symbol name on
some distributions, and adds the localentry tag after the symbol name on
other distributions. This problem has been discussed previously:

  https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20191211160133.GB4580@calabresa/

This problem can be overcome by filtering out the localentry tags in the
readelf output. Similar fixes are already present in the kernel by way
of the following commits:

  1fd6cee127e2 ("libbpf: Fix VERSIONED_SYM_COUNT number parsing")
  aa915931ac3e ("libbpf: Fix readelf output parsing for Fedora")

<title>kbuild: remove the target in signal traps when interrupted</title>

<id>urn:sha1:00791e017b5f2555aa9cd5d7d3a02ce19cd86701</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit a7f3257da8a86b96fb9bf1bba40ae0bbd7f1885a ]

When receiving some signal, GNU Make automatically deletes the target if
it has already been changed by the interrupted recipe.

If the target is possibly incomplete due to interruption, it must be
deleted so that it will be remade from scratch on the next run of make.
Otherwise, the target would remain corrupted permanently because its
timestamp had already been updated.

Thanks to this behavior of Make, you can stop the build any time by
pressing Ctrl-C, and just run 'make' to resume it.

Kbuild also relies on this feature, but it is equivalently important
for any build systems that make decisions based on timestamps (if you
want to support Ctrl-C reliably).

However, this does not always work as claimed; Make immediately dies
with Ctrl-C if its stderr goes into a pipe.

  [Test Makefile]

    foo:
            echo hello &gt; $@
            sleep 3
            echo world &gt;&gt; $@

  [Test Result]

    $ make                         # hit Ctrl-C
    echo hello &gt; foo
    sleep 3
    ^Cmake: *** Deleting file 'foo'
    make: *** [Makefile:3: foo] Interrupt

    $ make 2&gt;&amp;1 | cat              # hit Ctrl-C
    echo hello &gt; foo
    sleep 3
    ^C$                            # 'foo' is often left-over

The reason is because SIGINT is sent to the entire process group.
In this example, SIGINT kills 'cat', and 'make' writes the message to
the closed pipe, then dies with SIGPIPE before cleaning the target.

A typical bad scenario (as reported by [1], [2]) is to save build log
by using the 'tee' command:

    $ make 2&gt;&amp;1 | tee log

This can be problematic for any build systems based on Make, so I hope
it will be fixed in GNU Make. The maintainer of GNU Make stated this is
a long-standing issue and difficult to fix [3]. It has not been fixed
yet as of writing.

So, we cannot rely on Make cleaning the target. We can do it by
ourselves, in signal traps.

As far as I understand, Make takes care of SIGHUP, SIGINT, SIGQUIT, and
SITERM for the target removal. I added the traps for them, and also for
SIGPIPE just in case cmd_* rule prints something to stdout or stderr
(but I did not observe an actual case where SIGPIPE was triggered).

[Note 1]

The trap handler might be worth explaining.

    rm -f $@; trap - $(sig); kill -s $(sig) $$

This lets the shell kill itself by the signal it caught, so the parent
process can tell the child has exited on the signal. Generally, this is
a proper manner for handling signals, in case the calling program (like
Bash) may monitor WIFSIGNALED() and WTERMSIG() for WCE although this may
not be a big deal here because GNU Make handles SIGHUP, SIGINT, SIGQUIT
in WUE and SIGTERM in IUE.

  IUE - Immediate Unconditional Exit
  WUE - Wait and Unconditional Exit
  WCE - Wait and Cooperative Exit

For details, see "Proper handling of SIGINT/SIGQUIT" [4].

[Note 2]

Reverting 392885ee82d3 ("kbuild: let fixdep directly write to .*.cmd
files") would directly address [1], but it only saves if_changed_dep.
As reported in [2], all commands that use redirection can potentially
leave an empty (i.e. broken) target.

[Note 3]

Another (even safer) approach might be to always write to a temporary
file, and rename it to $@ at the end of the recipe.

   &lt;command&gt;  &gt; $(tmp-target)
   mv $(tmp-target) $@

It would require a lot of Makefile changes, and result in ugly code,
so I did not take it.

[Note 4]

A little more thoughts about a pattern rule with multiple targets (or
a grouped target).

    %.x %.y: %.z
            &lt;recipe&gt;

When interrupted, GNU Make deletes both %.x and %.y, while this solution
only deletes $@. Probably, this is not a big deal. The next run of make
will execute the rule again to create $@ along with the other files.
