[ Upstream commit 0c1999ed33722f85476a248186d6e0eb2bf3dd2a ]

test_parse_test_list_file writes some data to
/tmp/bpf_arg_parsing_test.XXXXXX and parse_test_list_file() will read
the data back.  However, after writing data to that file, we forget to
call fsync() and it's causing testing failure in my laptop.  This patch
helps fix it by adding the missing fsync() call.

[ Upstream commit e603a342cf7ecd64ef8f36207dfe1caacb9e2583 ]

We started getting a crash in BPF CI, which seems to originate from
test_parse_test_list_file() test and is happening at this line:

  ASSERT_OK(strcmp("test_with_spaces", set.tests[0].name), "test 0 name");

One way we can crash there is if set.cnt zero, which is checked for with
ASSERT_EQ() above, but we proceed after this regardless of the outcome.
Instead of crashing, we should bail out with test failure early.

Similarly, if parse_test_list_file() fails, we shouldn't be even looking
at set, so bail even earlier if ASSERT_OK() fails.

commit 0389c305ef56cbadca4cbef44affc0ec3213ed30 upstream.

The madv_populate and soft-dirty kselftests currently fail on systems
where CONFIG_MEM_SOFT_DIRTY is disabled.

Introduce a new helper softdirty_supported() into vm_util.c/h to ensure
tests are properly skipped when the feature is not enabled.

<content type='text'>
commit 008385efd05e04d8dff299382df2e8be0f91d8a0 upstream.

The previous commit adds an exception for the C-flag case. The
'mptcp_join.sh' selftest is extended to validate this case.

In this subtest, there is a typical CDN deployment with a client where
MPTCP endpoints have been 'automatically' configured:

- the server set net.mptcp.allow_join_initial_addr_port=0

- the client has multiple 'subflow' endpoints, and the default limits:
  not accepting ADD_ADDRs.

Without the parent patch, the client is not able to establish new
subflows using its 'subflow' endpoints. The parent commit fixes that.

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.

<title>rseq/selftests: Use weak symbol reference, not definition, to link with glibc</title>

<id>urn:sha1:866236611286fdec272d76d82af038ddc69f4576</id>
<content type='text'>
commit a001cd248ab244633c5fabe4f7c707e13fc1d1cc upstream.

Add "extern" to the glibc-defined weak rseq symbols to convert the rseq
selftest's usage from weak symbol definitions to weak symbol _references_.
Effectively re-defining the glibc symbols wreaks havoc when building with
-fno-common, e.g. generates segfaults when running multi-threaded programs,
as dynamically linked applications end up with multiple versions of the
symbols.

Building with -fcommon, which until recently has the been the default for
GCC and clang, papers over the bug by allowing the linker to resolve the
weak/tentative definition to glibc's "real" definition.

Note, the symbol itself (or rather its address), not the value of the
symbol, is set to 0/NULL for unresolved weak symbol references, as the
symbol doesn't exist and thus can't have a value.  Check for a NULL rseq
size pointer to handle the scenario where the test is statically linked
against a libc that doesn't support rseq in any capacity.

[ Upstream commit e84945bdc619ed4243ba4298dbb8ca2062026474 ]

Jakub reported this self test flaking occasionally (fails, but passes on
re-run) on debug kernels.

This is because the test checks for elapsed time to determine if both
connections were established in parallel.

Rework this to no longer depend on timing.
Use busywait helper to check that both sockets have moved to established
state and then query the conntrack engine for the two entries.

<title>perf python: split Clang options when invoking Popen</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit c6a43bc3e8f6102a47da0d2e53428d08f00172fb ]

When passing a list to subprocess.Popen, each element maps to one argv
token. Current code bundles multiple Clang flags into a single element,
something like:

  cmd = ['clang',
         '--target=x86_64-linux-gnu -fintegrated-as -Wno-cast-function-type-mismatch',
	 'test-hello.c']

So Clang only sees one long, invalid option instead of separate flags,
as a result, the script cannot capture any log via PIPE.

Fix this by using shlex.split() to separate the string so each option
becomes its own argv element. The fixed list will be:

  cmd = ['clang',
         '--target=x86_64-linux-gnu',
	 '-fintegrated-as',
	 '-Wno-cast-function-type-mismatch',
	 'test-hello.c']

building in perf can fail with stricter checks.
