If a symbol has aliases, make add_jump_table_alts() skip the
non-canonical ones to avoid any surprises.

When symbol alias ambiguity exists in the symbol finding helper
functions, return the canonical sym->alias, as that's the one which gets
used by validate_branch() and elsewhere.
This doesn't fix any known issues, just makes the symbol alias behavior
more robust.

Objtool is mistakenly aliasing all undefined symbols. That's obviously
wrong, though it has no consequence since objtool happens to only use
sym->alias for defined symbols. Fix it regardless.

The objtool .cold child/parent correlation is done in two phases: first
in elf_add_symbol() and later in add_jump_destinations().
The first phase is rather crude and can pick the wrong parent if there
are duplicates with the same name.
The second phase usually fixes that, but only if the parent has a direct
jump to the child. It does *not* work if the only branch from the
parent to the child is an alternative or jump table entry.
Make the first phase more robust by looking for the parent in the same
STT_FILE as the child.
Fixes the following objtool warnings in an AutoFDO build with a large
CLANG_AUTOFDO_PROFILE profile:
vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: rdev_add_key() falls through to next function rdev_add_key.cold()
vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: rdev_set_default_key() falls through to next function rdev_set_default_key.cold()

AutoFDO enables -fsplit-machine-functions which can move the cold parts
of a function to a <func>.cold symbol in a .text.split.<func> section.
Unlike GCC, the Clang <func>.cold symbols are not marked STT_FUNC. This
confuses objtool in several ways, resulting in warnings like the
following:
vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: apply_retpolines.cold+0xfc: unsupported instruction in callable function
vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: machine_check_poll.cold+0x2e: unsupported instruction in callable function

vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: tcp_rcv_state_process.cold+0x1c: relocation to !ENDBR: tcp_rcv_state_process.cold+0x23
Fix it by marking the .cold symbols as STT_FUNC.

Test querying default values and resetting to default values for
netdevsim devlink params.
This should cover the basic paths of interest: driverinit and
non-driverinit cmodes, as well as bool and non-bool value
type. Default param values of type bool are encoded with u8 netlink
type as opposed to flag type, so that userspace can distinguish
"not-present" from false.

Increase MAX_USERDATA_ITEMS from 16 to 256 entries now that the userdata
buffer is allocated dynamically.
The previous limit of 16 was necessary because the buffer was statically
allocated for all targets. With dynamic allocation, we can support more
entries without wasting memory on targets that don't use userdata.
This allows users to attach more metadata to their netconsole messages,
which is useful for complex debugging and logging scenarios.
Also update the testcase accordingly.

Add a sample tool demonstrating how to add, dump, and delete a
flower filter with two VLAN push actions. The example can be
invoked as:
# samples/tc-filter-add p2
flower pref 1 proto: 0x8100
flower:
vlan_id: 100
vlan_prio: 5
num_of_vlans: 3
action order: 1 vlan push id 200 protocol 0x8100 priority 0
action order: 2 vlan push id 300 protocol 0x8100 priority 0
This verifies correct handling of tc action attributes for multiple
VLAN push actions. The tc action indexed arrays start from index 1,
and the index defines the action order. This behavior differs from
the YNL specification, which expects arrays to be zero-based. To
accommodate this, the example adds a dummy action at index 0, which
is ignored by the kernel.

gro.sh and toeplitz.sh used to source in one of two setup scripts
depending on whether the test was expected to be run against
veth or a real device. veth testing is replaced by netdevsim
and existing "remote endpoint" support in our Python tests.
Add a script which sets up loopback mode.
The usage is a little bit more complicated than running
the scripts used to be. Testing used to work like this:
./../gro.sh -i eth0 ...
now the "setup script" has to be run explicitly:
NETIF=eth0 ./../ksft_setup_loopback.sh ./../gro.sh
But the functionality itself is retained.

is a lot less exact than the GRO one. We use Netlink APIs to
get the device RSS and IRQ information. We expect that the device
has neither RPS nor RFS configured, and set RPS up as part of

There's a common synchronization problem when a script (Python test)
uses a C program to set up some state (usually start a receiving
process for traffic). The script needs to know when the process
has fully initialized. The inverse of the problem exists for shutting
the process down - we need a reliable way to tell the process to exit.
We added helpers to do this safely in
commit 71477137994f ("selftests: drv-net: add a way to wait for a local process")
unfortunately the two operations (wait for init, and shutdown) are
controlled by a single parameter (ksft_wait). Add support for using
ksft_ready without using the second fd for exit.
This is useful for programs which wait for a specific number of packets
to rx so exit_wait is a good match, but we still need to wait for init.

The GRO test can run on a real device or a veth.
The Toeplitz hash test can only run on a real device.
Move them from net/ to drivers/net/ and drivers/net/hw/ respectively.
There are two scripts which set up the environment for these tests
setup_loopback.sh and setup_veth.sh. Move those scripts to net/lib.
The paths to the setup files are a little ugly but they will be
deleted shortly.
toeplitz_client.sh is not a test in itself, but rather a helper
to send traffic, so add it to TEST_FILES rather than TEST_PROGS.

There's a lot of cases where we try to re-run the same code with
different parameters. We currently need to either use a generator
method or create a "main" case implementation which then gets called
by trivial case functions:
def _test(x, y, z):
...
def case_int():
_test(1, 2, 3)
def case_str():
_test('a', 'b', 'c')
Add support for variants, similar to kselftests_harness.h and
a lot of other frameworks. Variants can be added as decorator
to test functions:
@ksft_variants([(1, 2, 3), ('a', 'b', 'c')])
def case(x, y, z):
...
ksft_run() will auto-generate case names:
case.1_2_3
case.a_b_c
Because the names may not always be pretty (and to avoid forcing
classes to implement case-friendly __str__()) add a wrapper class
KsftNamedVariant which lets the user specify the name for the variant.
Note that ksft_run's args are still supported. ksft_run splices args
and variant params together.

Assert that we correctly merge VMAs containing VM_SOFTDIRTY flags now that
we correctly handle these as sticky.
In order to do so, we have to account for the fact the pagemap interface
checks soft dirty PTEs and additionally that newly merged VMAs are marked
VM_SOFTDIRTY.
We do this by using use unfaulted anon VMAs, establishing one and clearing
references on that one, before establishing another and merging the two
before checking that soft-dirty is propagated as expected.
We check that this functions correctly with mremap() and mprotect() as
sample cases, because VMA merge of adjacent newly mapped VMAs will
automatically be made soft-dirty due to existing logic which does so.
We are therefore exercising other means of merging VMAs.

Patch series "make VM_SOFTDIRTY a sticky VMA flag", v2.
Currently we set VM_SOFTDIRTY when a new mapping is set up (whether by
establishing a new VMA, or via merge) as implemented in __mmap_complete()
and do_brk_flags().
However, when performing a merge of existing mappings such as when
performing mprotect(), we may lose the VM_SOFTDIRTY flag.
Now we have the concept of making VMA flags 'sticky', that is that they
both don't prevent merge and, importantly, are propagated to merged VMAs,
this seems a sensible alternative to the existing special-casing of
VM_SOFTDIRTY.
We additionally add a self-test that demonstrates that this logic behaves
as expected.
This patch (of 2):
Currently we set VM_SOFTDIRTY when a new mapping is set up (whether by
establishing a new VMA, or via merge) as implemented in __mmap_complete()
and do_brk_flags().
However, when performing a merge of existing mappings such as when
performing mprotect(), we may lose the VM_SOFTDIRTY flag.
This is because currently we simply ignore VM_SOFTDIRTY for the purposes
of merge, so one VMA may possess the flag and another not, and whichever
happens to be the target VMA will be the one upon which the merge is
performed which may or may not have VM_SOFTDIRTY set.
Now we have the concept of 'sticky' VMA flags, let's make VM_SOFTDIRTY one
which solves this issue.
Additionally update VMA userland tests to propagate changes.

For each test case, sysfs.py makes changes to DAMON, dumps DAMON internal
status and asserts the expectation is met. The dumping part should be the
same for all cases, so it is duplicated for each test case. Which means
it is easy to make mistakes. Actually a few of those duplicates are not
turning DAMON off in case of the dumping failure. It makes following
selftests that need to turn DAMON on fails with -EBUSY. Merge the status
dumping into commitment assertion with proper dumping failure handling, to
deduplicate and avoid the unnecessary following tests failures.

DAMOS filters that are handled by the ops layer are linked to
damos->ops_filters. Owing to the ops_ prefix on the name, it is easy to
understand it is for ops layer handled filters. The other types of
filters, which are handled by the core layer, are linked to
damos->filters. Because of the name, it is easy to confuse the list is
there for not only core layer handled ones but all filters. Avoid such
confusions by renaming the field to core_filters.

The current shmem_allocate_area() implementation uses a hardcoded virtual
base address (BASE_PMD_ADDR) as a hint for mmap() when creating
shmem-backed test areas. This approach is fragile and may fail on systems
with ASLR or different virtual memory layouts, where the chosen address is
unavailable.
Replace the static base address with a dynamically reserved address range
obtained via mmap(NULL, ..., PROT_NONE). The memfd-backed areas and their
alias are then mapped into that reserved region using MAP_FIXED,
preserving the original layout and aliasing semantics while avoiding
collisions with unrelated mappings.
This change improves robustness and portability of the test suite without
altering its behavior or coverage.

Patch series "vma_start_write_killable"", v2.
When we added the VMA lock, we made a major oversight in not adding a
killable variant. That can run us into trouble where a thread takes the
VMA lock for read (eg handling a page fault) and then goes out to lunch
for an hour (eg doing reclaim). Another thread tries to modify the VMA,
taking the mmap_lock for write, then attempts to lock the VMA for write.
That blocks on the first thread, and ensures that every other page fault
now tries to take the mmap_lock for read. Because everything's in an
uninterruptible sleep, we can't kill the task, which makes me angry.
This patchset just adds vma_start_write_killable() and converts one caller
to use it. Most users are somewhat tricky to convert, so expect follow-up
individual patches per call-site which need careful analysis to make sure
we've done proper cleanup.
This patch (of 2):
The vma can be held read-locked for a substantial period of time, eg if
memory allocation needs to go into reclaim. It's useful to be able to
send fatal signals to threads which are waiting for the write lock.

To ensure the retract_page_tables() logic functions correctly with the
introduction of VM_MAYBE_GUARD, add a test to assert that madvise collapse
fails when guard regions are established in the collapsed range in all
cases.
Unfortunately we cannot differentiate between e.g.
CONFIG_READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS not being set vs. a file-backed VMA having
collapse correctly disallowed, so in each instance we will get an assert
pass here.
We add an additional check to see whether guard regions are preserved
across collapse in case of a bug causing the collapse to succeed, which
will give us more data to debug with should this occur in future.

Gather all the VMA flags whose presence implies that page tables must be
copied on fork into a single bitmap - VM_COPY_ON_FORK - and use this
rather than specifying individual flags in vma_needs_copy().
We also add VM_MAYBE_GUARD to this list, as it being set on a VMA implies
that there may be metadata contained in the page tables (that is - guard
markers) which would will not and cannot be propagated upon fork.
This was already being done manually previously in vma_needs_copy(), but
this makes it very explicit, alongside VM_PFNMAP, VM_MIXEDMAP and
VM_UFFD_WP all of which imply the same.
Note that VM_STICKY flags ought generally to be marked VM_COPY_ON_FORK too
- because equally a flag being VM_STICKY indicates that the VMA contains
metadat that is not propagated by being faulted in - i.e. that the VMA
metadata does not fully describe the VMA alone, and thus we must propagate
whatever metadata there is on a fork.
However, for maximum flexibility, we do not make this necessarily the case
here.

It is useful to be able to designate that certain flags are 'sticky', that
is, if two VMAs are merged one with a flag of this nature and one without,
the merged VMA sets this flag.
As a result we ignore these flags for the purposes of determining VMA flag
differences between VMAs being considered for merge.
This patch therefore updates the VMA merge logic to perform this action,
with flags possessing this property being described in the VM_STICKY
bitmap.
Those flags which ought to be ignored for the purposes of VMA merge are
described in the VM_IGNORE_MERGE bitmap, which the VMA merge logic is also
updated to use.
As part of this change we place VM_SOFTDIRTY in VM_IGNORE_MERGE as it
already had this behaviour, alongside VM_STICKY as sticky flags by
implication must not disallow merge.
Ultimately it seems that we should make VM_SOFTDIRTY a sticky flag in its
own right, but this change is out of scope for this series.
The only sticky flag designated as such is VM_MAYBE_GUARD, so as a result
of this change, once the VMA flag is set upon guard region installation,
VMAs with guard ranges will now not have their merge behaviour impacted as
a result and can be freely merged with other VMAs without VM_MAYBE_GUARD
set.
Also update the comments for vma_modify_flags() to directly reference
sticky flags now we have established the concept.
We also update the VMA userland tests to account for the changes.

The vma_modify_*() family of functions each either perform splits, a merge
or no changes at all in preparation for the requested modification to
occur.
When doing so for a VMA flags change, we currently don't account for any
flags which may remain (for instance, VM_SOFTDIRTY) despite the requested
change in the case that a merge succeeded.
This is made more important by subsequent patches which will introduce the
concept of sticky VMA flags which rely on this behaviour.
This patch fixes this by passing the VMA flags parameter as a pointer and
updating it accordingly on merge and updating callers to accommodate for
this.
Additionally, while we are here, we add kdocs for each of the
vma_modify_*() functions, as the fact that the requested modification is
not performed is confusing so it is useful to make this abundantly clear.
We also update the VMA userland tests to account for this change.

Patch series "introduce VM_MAYBE_GUARD and make it sticky", v4.
Currently, guard regions are not visible to users except through
/proc/$pid/pagemap, with no explicit visibility at the VMA level.
This makes the feature less useful, as it isn't entirely apparent which
VMAs may have these entries present, especially when performing actions
which walk through memory regions such as those performed by CRIU.
This series addresses this issue by introducing the VM_MAYBE_GUARD flag
which fulfils this role, updating the smaps logic to display an entry for
these.
The semantics of this flag are that a guard region MAY be present if set
(we cannot be sure, as we can't efficiently track whether an
MADV_GUARD_REMOVE finally removes all the guard regions in a VMA) - but if
not set the VMA definitely does NOT have any guard regions present.
It's problematic to establish this flag without further action, because
that means that VMAs with guard regions in them become non-mergeable with
adjacent VMAs for no especially good reason.
To work around this, this series also introduces the concept of 'sticky'
VMA flags - that is flags which:
a. if set in one VMA and not in another still permit those VMAs to be
merged (if otherwise compatible).
b. When they are merged, the resultant VMA must have the flag set.
The VMA logic is updated to propagate these flags correctly.
Additionally, VM_MAYBE_GUARD being an explicit VMA flag allows us to solve
an issue with file-backed guard regions - previously these established an
anon_vma object for file-backed mappings solely to have vma_needs_copy()
correctly propagate guard region mappings to child processes.
We introduce a new flag alias VM_COPY_ON_FORK (which currently only
specifies VM_MAYBE_GUARD) and update vma_needs_copy() to check explicitly
for this flag and to copy page tables if it is present, which resolves
this issue.
Additionally, we add the ability for allow-listed VMA flags to be
atomically writable with only mmap/VMA read locks held.
The only flag we allow so far is VM_MAYBE_GUARD, which we carefully ensure
does not cause any races by being allowed to do so.
This allows us to maintain guard region installation as a read-locked
operation and not endure the overhead of obtaining a write lock here.
Finally we introduce extensive VMA userland tests to assert that the
sticky VMA logic behaves correctly as well as guard region self tests to
assert that smaps visibility is correctly implemented.
This patch (of 9):
Currently, if a user needs to determine if guard regions are present in a
range, they have to scan all VMAs (or have knowledge of which ones might
have guard regions).
Since commit 8e2f2aeb8b48 ("fs/proc/task_mmu: add guard region bit to
pagemap") and the related commit a516403787e0 ("fs/proc: extend the
PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl to report guard regions"), users can use either
/proc/$pid/pagemap or the PAGEMAP_SCAN functionality to perform this
operation at a virtual address level.
This is not ideal, and it gives no visibility at a /proc/$pid/smaps level
that guard regions exist in ranges.
This patch remedies the situation by establishing a new VMA flag,
VM_MAYBE_GUARD, to indicate that a VMA may contain guard regions (it is
uncertain because we cannot reasonably determine whether a
MADV_GUARD_REMOVE call has removed all of the guard regions in a VMA, and
additionally VMAs may change across merge/split).
We utilise 0x800 for this flag which makes it available to 32-bit
architectures also, a flag that was previously used by VM_DENYWRITE, which
was removed in commit 8d0920bde5eb ("mm: remove VM_DENYWRITE") and hasn't
bee reused yet.
We also update the smaps logic and documentation to identify these VMAs.
Another major use of this functionality is that we can use it to identify
that we ought to copy page tables on fork.
We do not actually implement usage of this flag in mm/madvise.c yet as we
need to allow some VMA flags to be applied atomically under mmap/VMA read
lock in order to avoid the need to acquire a write lock for this purpose.

Metric Groups:
Backend: [Grouping from Top-down Microarchitecture Analysis Metrics spreadsheet]
tma_core_bound
[This metric represents fraction of slots where Core non-memory issues were of a bottleneck]
tma_info_core_ilp
[Instruction-Level-Parallelism (average number of uops executed when there is execution) per thread (logical-processor)]
tma_info_memory_l2mpki
[L2 cache true misses per kilo instruction for retired demand loads]
...
This change makes it print the tool PMU events only.

Determine if a metric is default from `perf list --raw-dump $m` eg:
```
$ perf list --raw-dump l1_prefetch_miss_rate
Default4 l1_prefetch_miss_rate
```
If a metric has "not supported" or "no supported events" then ignore
these failures for default metrics. Tidy up the skip/fail messages in
the output to make them easier to spot/read.
```
$ perf list -vv "all metrics"
...
Testing llc_miss_rate
[Ignored llc_miss_rate] failed but as a Default metric this can be expected
Error: No supported events found. The LLC-loads event is not supported.
