commit 852b644acbce1529307a4bb283752c4e77b5cda7 upstream.

The 'run_tests' function is executed in the background, but killing its
associated PID would not kill the children tasks running in the
background.

To properly kill all background tasks, 'kill -- -PID' could be used, but
this requires kill from procps-ng. Instead, all children tasks are
listed using 'ps', and 'kill' is called with all PIDs of this group.

commit 290493078b96ce2ce3e60f55c23654acb678042a upstream.

In rare cases, when the test environment is very slow, some userspace
tests can fail because some expected events have not been seen.

Because the tests are expecting a long on-going connection, and they are
not waiting for the end of the transfer, it is fine to make the
connection longer. This connection will be killed at the end, after the
verifications, so making it longer doesn't change anything, apart from
avoid it to end before the end of the verifications

To play it safe, all userspace tests not waiting for the end of the
transfer are now sharing a longer file (128KB) at slow speed.

commit ee79980f7a428ec299f6261bea4c1084dcbc9631 upstream.

MPTCP Join "fastclose server" selftest is sometimes failing because the
client output file doesn't have the expected size, e.g. 296B instead of
1024B.

When looking at a packet trace when this happens, the server sent the
expected 1024B in two parts -- 100B, then 924B -- then the MP_FASTCLOSE.
It is then strange to see the client only receiving 296B, which would
mean it only got a part of the second packet. The problem is then not on
the networking side, but rather on the data reception side.

When mptcp_connect is launched with '-f -1', it means the connection
might stop before having sent everything, because a reset has been
received. When this happens, the program was directly stopped. But it is
also possible there are still some data to read, simply because the
previous 'read' step was done with a buffer smaller than the pending
data, see do_rnd_read(). In this case, it is important to read what's
left in the kernel buffers before stopping without error like before.

SIGPIPE is now ignored, not to quit the app before having read
everything.

commit aea73bae662a0e184393d6d7d0feb18d2577b9b9 upstream.

Some of these 'remove' tests rarely fail because a subflow has been
reset instead of cleanly removed. This can happen when one extra subflow
which has never carried data is being closed (FIN) on one side, while
the other is sending data for the first time.

To avoid such subflows to be used right at the end, the backup flag has
been added. With that, data will be only carried on the initial subflow.

commit 63c643aa7b7287fdbb0167063785f89ece3f000f upstream.

The "fallback due to TCP OoO" was never printed because the stat_ooo_now
variable was checked twice: once in the parent if-statement, and one in
the child one. The second condition was then always true then, and the
'else' branch was never taken.

The idea is that when there are more ACK + MP_CAPABLE than expected, the
test either fails if there was no out of order packets, or a notice is
printed.

<title>selftests/user_events: fix type cast for write_index packed member in perf_test</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 216158f063fe24fb003bd7da0cd92cd6e2c4d48b upstream.

Accessing 'reg.write_index' directly triggers a -Waddress-of-packed-member
warning due to potential unaligned pointer access:

perf_test.c:239:38: warning: taking address of packed member 'write_index'
of class or structure 'user_reg' may result in an unaligned pointer value
[-Waddress-of-packed-member]
  239 |         ASSERT_NE(-1, write(self-&gt;data_fd, &amp;reg.write_index,
      |                                             ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Since write(2) works with any alignment. Casting '&amp;reg.write_index'
explicitly to 'void *' to suppress this warning.

<title>selftests/tracing: Run sample events to clear page cache events</title>

commit dd4adb986a86727ed8f56c48b6d0695f1e211e65 upstream.

The tracing selftest "event-filter-function.tc" was failing because it
first runs the "sample_events" function that triggers the kmem_cache_free
event and it looks at what function was used during a call to "ls".

But the first time it calls this, it could trigger events that are used to
pull pages into the page cache.

The rest of the test uses the function it finds during that call to see if
it will be called in subsequent "sample_events" calls. But if there's no
need to pull pages into the page cache, it will not trigger that function
and the test will fail.

Call the "sample_events" twice to trigger all the page cache work before
it calls it to find a function to use in subsequent checks.

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 3c723f449723db2dc2b75b7efe03c2a76e4c09f0 ]

Couple of independent fixes:

1. Wire in SIGSEGV handler that terminates the test with a failure code.

2. Use "--lock-cgroup" instead of "-g"; "-g" was proposed but never
   merged. See commit 4d1792d0a2564caf ("perf lock contention: Add
   --lock-cgroup option")

3. Call cleanup() on every normal exit so trap_cleanup() doesn't mistake
   it for an unexpected signal and emit a false-negative "Unexpected
   signal in main" message.

Before patch:

  # ./perf test -vv "lock contention"
   85: kernel lock contention analysis test:
  --- start ---
  test child forked, pid 610711
