The test will set the global system THP setting to never, madvise or
always depending on the fixture variant and the 2M setting to inherit
before it starts (and reset to original at teardown). The fixture setup
will also test if PR_SET_THP_DISABLE prctl call can be made with
PR_THP_DISABLE_EXCEPT_ADVISED and skip if it fails.
This tests if the process can:
- successfully get the policy to disable THPs expect for madvise.
- get hugepages only on MADV_HUGE and MADV_COLLAPSE if the global policy
is madvise/always and only with MADV_COLLAPSE if the global policy is
never.
- successfully reset the policy of the process.
- after reset, only get hugepages with:
- MADV_COLLAPSE when policy is set to never.
- MADV_HUGE and MADV_COLLAPSE when policy is set to madvise.
- always when policy is set to "always".
- never get a THP with MADV_NOHUGEPAGE.
- repeat the above tests in a forked process to make sure the policy is
carried across forks.

In ksm_functional_tests, test_child_ksm() returned negative values to
indicate errors. However, when passed to exit(), these were interpreted
as large unsigned values (e.g, -2 became 254), leading to incorrect
handling in the parent process. As a result, some tests appeared to be
skipped or silently failed.
This patch changes test_child_ksm() to return positive error codes (1, 2,
3) and updates test_child_ksm_err() to interpret them correctly.
Additionally, test_prctl_fork_exec() now uses exit(4) after a failed
execv() to clearly signal exec failures. This ensures the parent
accurately detects and reports child process failures.

This patch fixes 2 issues.
1) After fork() in test_prctl_fork, the child process uses the file
descriptors from the parent process to read ksm_stat and
ksm_merging_pages. This results in incorrect values being read (parent
process ksm_stat and ksm_merging_pages will be read in child), causing
the test to fail.
This patch calls init_global_file_handles() in the child process to
ensure that the current process's file descriptors are used to read
ksm_stat and ksm_merging_pages.
2) All tests currently call ksm_merge to trigger page merging. To
ensure the system remains in a consistent state for subsequent tests,
it is better to call ksm_unmerge during the test cleanup phase
In the test_prctl_fork test, after a fork(), reading
ksm_merging_pages in the child process returns a non-zero value because
a previous test performed a merge, and the child's memory state is
inherited from the parent.
Although the child process calls ksm_unmerge, the ksm_merging_pages
counter in the parent is reset to zero, while the child's counter
remains unchanged. This discrepancy causes the test to fail.
To avoid this issue, each test should call ksm_unmerge during
cleanup to ensure the counter is reset and the system is in a clean
state for subsequent tests.
execv argument is an array of pointers to null-terminated strings. In
this patch we also added NULL in the execv argument.

- Drop a superfluous cpumask_empty() check when reclaiming SEV memory, as

When synthesizing build-ids, for build ID mmap2 events, they will be
added for data mmaps if -d/--data is specified. The files opened for
their build IDs may block on the open causing perf to hang during
synthesis. There is some robustness in existing calls to
filename__read_build_id by checking the file path is to a regular
file, which unfortunately fails for symlinks. Rather than adding more
is_regular_file calls, switch filename__read_build_id to take a
"block" argument and specify O_NONBLOCK when this is false. The
existing is_regular_file checking callers and the event synthesis
callers are made to pass false and thereby avoiding the hang.

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
- Fix rtla and latency tooling pkg-config errors
If libtraceevent and libtracefs is installed, but their corresponding
'.pc' files are not installed, it reports that the libraries are
missing and confuses the developer. Instead, report that the
pkg-config files are missing and should be installed.
- Fix overflow bug of the parser in trace_get_user()
trace_get_user() uses the parsing functions to parse the user space
strings. If the parser fails due to incorrect processing, it doesn't
terminate the buffer with a nul byte. Add a "failed" flag to the
parser that gets set when parsing fails and is used to know if the
buffer is fine to use or not.
- Remove a semicolon that was at an end of a comment line
- Fix register_ftrace_graph() to unregister the pm notifier on error
The register_ftrace_graph() registers a pm notifier but there's an
error path that can exit the function without unregistering it. Since
the function returns an error, it will never be unregistered.
- Allocate and copy ftrace hash for reader of ftrace filter files
When the set_ftrace_filter or set_ftrace_notrace files are open for
read, an iterator is created and sets its hash pointer to the
associated hash that represents filtering or notrace filtering to it.
The issue is that the hash it points to can change while the
iteration is happening. All the locking used to access the tracer's
hashes are released which means those hashes can change or even be
freed. Using the hash pointed to by the iterator can cause UAF bugs
or similar.
Have the read of these files allocate and copy the corresponding
hashes and use that as that will keep them the same while the
iterator is open. This also simplifies the code as opening it for
write already does an allocate and copy, and now that the read is
doing the same, there's no need to check which way it was opened on
the release of the file, and the iterator hash can always be freed.
- Fix function graph to copy args into temp storage
The output of the function graph tracer shows both the entry and the
exit of a function. When the exit is right after the entry, it
combines the two events into one with the output of "function();",
instead of showing:
function() {
}
In order to do this, the iterator descriptor that reads the events
includes storage that saves the entry event while it peaks at the
next event in the ring buffer. The peek can free the entry event so
the iterator must store the information to use it after the peek.
With the addition of function graph tracer recording the args, where
the args are a dynamic array in the entry event, the temp storage
does not save them. This causes the args to be corrupted or even
cause a read of unsafe memory.
Add space to save the args in the temp storage of the iterator.
- Fix race between ftrace_dump and reading trace_pipe
ftrace_dump() is used when a crash occurs where the ftrace buffer
will be printed to the console. But it can also be triggered by
sysrq-z. If a sysrq-z is triggered while a task is reading trace_pipe
it can cause a race in the ftrace_dump() where it checks if the
buffer has content, then it checks if the next event is available,
and then prints the output (regardless if the next event was
available or not). Reading trace_pipe at the same time can cause it
to not be available, and this triggers a WARN_ON in the print. Move
the printing into the check if the next event exists or not

The ARM64_FEATURE_MASK() macro was a hack introduce whilst the
automatic generation of sysreg encoding was introduced, and was
too unreliable to be entirely trusted.
We are in a better place now, and we could really do without this
macro. Get rid of it altogether.

Add a selftest to verify bonding behavior when `lacp_active` is set to `off`.
The test checks the following:
- The passive LACP bond should not send LACPDUs before receiving a partner's
LACPDU.
- The transmitted LACPDUs must not include the active flag.
- After transitioning to EXPIRED and DEFAULTED states, the passive side should
still not initiate LACPDUs.

Pull bootconfig fix from Masami Hiramatsu:
"Fix negative seeks on 32-bit with LFS enabled
On 32bit architecture, -BOOTCONFIG_FOOTER_SIZE (size_t, 32bit) becomes
a positive value when it is passed to lseek() because it is cast to
off_t (64bit). Thus, add type casts"
* tag 'bootconfig-fixes-v6.17-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace:
bootconfig: Fix negative seeks on 32-bit with LFS enabled
Commit 26dda57695 "tools/bootconfig: Cleanup bootconfig footer size
calculations" replaced some expressions of type int with the
BOOTCONFIG_FOOTER_SIZE macro, which expands to an expression of type
size_t, which is unsigned.
On 32-bit architectures with LFS enabled (i.e. off_t is 64-bit), the
seek offset of -BOOTCONFIG_FOOTER_SIZE now turns into a positive
value.
Fix this by casting the size to off_t before negating it.
Just in case someone changes BOOTCONFIG_MAGIC_LEN to have type size_t
later, do the same thing to the seek offset of -BOOTCONFIG_MAGIC_LEN.

When compiling with LLVM and CONFIG_LTO_CLANG is set, there exist many
objtool warnings "sibling call from callable instruction with modified
stack frame".
For this special case, the related object file shows that there is no
generated relocation section '.rela.discard.tablejump_annotate' for the
table jump instruction jirl, thus objtool can not know that what is the
actual destination address.
It needs to do something on the LLVM side to make sure that there is the
relocation section '.rela.discard.tablejump_annotate' if LTO is enabled,
but in order to maintain compatibility for the current LLVM compiler,
this can be done in the kernel Makefile for now. Ensure it is aware of
linker with LTO, '--loongarch-annotate-tablejump' needs to be passed via
'-mllvm' to ld.lld.
Before doing the above changes, it should handle the special case of the
relocation section '.rela.discard.tablejump_annotate' to get the correct
table size first, otherwise there are many objtool warnings and errors
if LTO is enabled.
There are many different rodata for each function if LTO is enabled, it
is necessary to enhance get_rodata_table_size_by_table_annotate().
