selftests/mm/charge_reserved_hugetlb: drop mount size for hugetlbfs

2026-03-04T12:20:47Z

[ Upstream commit 1aa1dd9cc595917882fb6db67725442956f79607 ] charge_reserved_hugetlb.sh mounts a hugetlbfs instance at /mnt/huge with a fixed size of 256M. On systems with large base hugepages (e.g. 512MB), this is smaller than a single hugepage, so the hugetlbfs mount ends up with zero capacity (often visible as size=0 in mount output). As a result, write_to_hugetlbfs fails with ENOMEM and the test can hang waiting for progress. === Error log === # uname -r 6.12.0-xxx.el10.aarch64+64k #./charge_reserved_hugetlb.sh -cgroup-v2 # ----------------------------------------- ... # nr hugepages = 10 # writing cgroup limit: 5368709120 # writing reseravation limit: 5368709120 ... # write_to_hugetlbfs: Error mapping the file: Cannot allocate memory # Waiting for hugetlb memory reservation to reach size 2684354560. # 0 # Waiting for hugetlb memory reservation to reach size 2684354560. # 0 ... # mount |grep /mnt/huge none on /mnt/huge type hugetlbfs (rw,relatime,seclabel,pagesize=512M,size=0) # grep -i huge /proc/meminfo ...

tools/power cpupower: Reset errno before strtoull()

2026-03-04T12:20:13Z

[ Upstream commit f9bd3762cf1bd0c2465f2e6121b340883471d1bf ] cpuidle_state_get_one_value() never cleared errno before calling strtoull(), so a prior ERANGE caused every cpuidle counter read to return zero. Reset errno to 0 before the conversion so each sysfs read is evaluated independently.

libperf build: Always place libperf includes first

2026-03-04T12:20:10Z

[ Upstream commit 8c5b40678c63be6b85f1c2dc8c8b89d632faf988 ] When building tools/perf the CFLAGS can contain a directory for the installed headers. As the headers may be being installed while building libperf.a this can cause headers to be partially installed and found in the include path while building an object file for libperf.a. The installed header may reference other installed headers that are missing given the partial nature of the install and then the build fails with a missing header file. Avoid this by ensuring the libperf source headers are always first in the CFLAGS.

libperf: Don't remove -g when EXTRA_CFLAGS are used

2026-03-04T12:20:10Z

[ Upstream commit f5b07010c13c77541e8ade167d05bef3b8a63739 ] When using EXTRA_CFLAGS, for example "EXTRA_CFLAGS=-DREFCNT_CHECKING=1", this construct stops setting -g which you'd expect would not be affected by adding extra flags. Additionally, EXTRA_CFLAGS should be the last thing to be appended so that it can be used to undo any defaults. And no condition is required, just += appends to any existing CFLAGS and also appends or doesn't append EXTRA_CFLAGS if they are or aren't set. It's not clear why DEBUG=1 is required for -g in Perf when in libperf it's always on, but I don't think we need to change that behavior now because someone may be depending on it.

perf callchain: Fix srcline printing with inlines

[ Upstream commit abec464767b5d26f0612250d511c18f420826ca1 ] sample__fprintf_callchain() was using map__fprintf_srcline() which won't report inline line numbers.

bpftool: Fix truncated netlink dumps

[ Upstream commit 3b39d73cc3379360a33eb583b17f21fe55e1288e ] Netlink requires that the recv buffer used during dumps is at least min(PAGE_SIZE, 8k) (see the man page). Otherwise the messages will get truncated. Make sure bpftool follows this requirement, avoid missing information on systems with large pages.

selftests: mlxsw: tc_restrictions: Fix test failure with new iproute2

[ Upstream commit a2646773a005b59fd1dc7ff3ba15df84889ca5d2 ] As explained in [1], iproute2 started rejecting tc-police burst sizes that result in an overflow. This can happen when the burst size is high enough and the rate is low enough. A couple of test cases specify such configurations, resulting in iproute2 errors and test failure. Fix by reducing the burst size so that the test will pass with both new and old iproute2 versions.
