[ Upstream commit c4212f3eb89fd5654f0a6ed2ee1d13fcb86cb664 ]

Give applications a way to tell if the kernel supports sane linked files,
as in files being assigned at the right time to be able to reliably
do &lt;open file direct into slot X&gt;&lt;read file from slot X&gt; while using
IOSQE_IO_LINK to order them.

Not really a bug fix, but flag it as such so that it gets pulled in with
backports of the deferred file assignment.

commit 55037ed7bdc62151a726f5685f88afa6a82959b1 upstream.

Add include guard wrapper define to uapi/linux/stddef.h to prevent macro
redefinition errors when stddef.h is included more than once. This was not
needed before since the only contents already used a redefinition test.

<title>bpf: Make remote_port field in struct bpf_sk_lookup 16-bit wide</title>

commit 9a69e2b385f443f244a7e8b8bcafe5ccfb0866b4 upstream.

remote_port is another case of a BPF context field documented as a 32-bit
value in network byte order for which the BPF context access converter
generates a load of a zero-padded 16-bit integer in network byte order.

First such case was dst_port in bpf_sock which got addressed in commit
4421a582718a ("bpf: Make dst_port field in struct bpf_sock 16-bit wide").

Loading 4-bytes from the remote_port offset and converting the value with
bpf_ntohl() leads to surprising results, as the expected value is shifted
by 16 bits.

Reduce the confusion by splitting the field in two - a 16-bit field holding
a big-endian integer, and a 16-bit zero-padding anonymous field that
follows it.

<title>can: isotp: set default value for N_As to 50 micro seconds</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 530e0d46c61314c59ecfdb8d3bcb87edbc0f85d3 ]

The N_As value describes the time a CAN frame needs on the wire when
transmitted by the CAN controller. Even very short CAN FD frames need
arround 100 usecs (bitrate 1Mbit/s, data bitrate 8Mbit/s).

Having N_As to be zero (the former default) leads to 'no CAN frame
separation' when STmin is set to zero by the receiving node. This 'burst
mode' should not be enabled by default as it could potentially dump a high
number of CAN frames into the netdev queue from the soft hrtimer context.
This does not affect the system stability but is just not nice and
cooperative.

With this N_As/frame_txtime value the 'burst mode' is disabled by default.

As user space applications usually do not set the frame_txtime element
of struct can_isotp_options the new in-kernel default is very likely
overwritten with zero when the sockopt() CAN_ISOTP_OPTS is invoked.
To make sure that a N_As value of zero is only set intentional the
value '0' is now interpreted as 'do not change the current value'.
When a frame_txtime of zero is required for testing purposes this
CAN_ISOTP_FRAME_TXTIME_ZERO u32 value has to be set in frame_txtime.

[ Upstream commit 4421a582718ab81608d8486734c18083b822390d ]

Menglong Dong reports that the documentation for the dst_port field in
struct bpf_sock is inaccurate and confusing. From the BPF program PoV, the
field is a zero-padded 16-bit integer in network byte order. The value
appears to the BPF user as if laid out in memory as so:

  offsetof(struct bpf_sock, dst_port) + 0  &lt;port MSB&gt;
                                      + 8  &lt;port LSB&gt;
                                      +16  0x00
                                      +24  0x00

32-, 16-, and 8-bit wide loads from the field are all allowed, but only if
the offset into the field is 0.

32-bit wide loads from dst_port are especially confusing. The loaded value,
after converting to host byte order with bpf_ntohl(dst_port), contains the
port number in the upper 16-bits.

Remove the confusion by splitting the field into two 16-bit fields. For
backward compatibility, allow 32-bit wide loads from offsetof(struct
bpf_sock, dst_port).

While at it, allow loads 8-bit loads at offset [0] and [1] from dst_port.

<title>bpf: Adjust BPF stack helper functions to accommodate skip &gt; 0</title>

commit ee2a098851bfbe8bcdd964c0121f4246f00ff41e upstream.

Let's say that the caller has storage for num_elem stack frames.  Then,
the BPF stack helper functions walk the stack for only num_elem frames.
This means that if skip &gt; 0, one keeps only 'num_elem - skip' frames.

This is because it sets init_nr in the perf_callchain_entry to the end
of the buffer to save num_elem entries only.  I believe it was because
the perf callchain code unwound the stack frames until it reached the
global max size (sysctl_perf_event_max_stack).

However it now has perf_callchain_entry_ctx.max_stack to limit the
iteration locally.  This simplifies the code to handle init_nr in the
BPF callstack entries and removes the confusion with the perf_event's
__PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN_EARLY which sets init_nr to 0.

Also change the comment on bpf_get_stack() in the header file to be
more explicit what the return value means.

commit f941c51eeac7ebe0f8ec30943bf78e7f60aad039 upstream.

Support for cryptoloop was deleted in commit 47e9624616c8 ("block:
remove support for cryptoloop and the xor transfer"), making the usage
of loop_info-&gt;lo_encrypt_type obsolete. However, this member was also
removed from the compat_loop_info definition and this breaks userspace
ioctl calls for 32-bit binaries and CONFIG_COMPAT=y.

This patch restores the compat_loop_info-&gt;lo_encrypt_type member and
marks it obsolete as well as in the uapi header definitions.

commit f941c51eeac7ebe0f8ec30943bf78e7f60aad039 upstream.

Support for cryptoloop was deleted in commit 47e9624616c8 ("block:
remove support for cryptoloop and the xor transfer"), making the usage
of loop_info-&gt;lo_encrypt_type obsolete. However, this member was also
removed from the compat_loop_info definition and this breaks userspace
ioctl calls for 32-bit binaries and CONFIG_COMPAT=y.

This patch restores the compat_loop_info-&gt;lo_encrypt_type member and
marks it obsolete as well as in the uapi header definitions.

[ Upstream commit a603ca60cebff8589882427a67f870ed946b3fc8 ]

Commit 54da3e381c2b ("serial: 8250_aspeed_vuart: use UPF_IOREMAP to
set up register mapping") fixed a bug that had, as a side-effect,
prevented the 8250_aspeed_vuart driver from enabling the VUART's
FIFOs.  However, fixing that (and hence enabling the FIFOs) has in
turn revealed what appears to be a hardware bug in the ASPEED VUART in
which the host-side THRE bit doesn't get if the BMC-side receive FIFO
trigger level is set to anything but one byte.  This causes problems
for polled-mode writes from the host -- for example, Linux kernel
console writes proceed at a glacial pace (less than 100 bytes per
second) because the write path waits for a 10ms timeout to expire
after every character instead of being able to continue on to the next
character upon seeing THRE asserted.  (GRUB behaves similarly.)

As a workaround, introduce a new port type for the ASPEED VUART that's
identical to PORT_16550A as it had previously been using, but with
UART_FCR_R_TRIG_00 instead to set the receive FIFO trigger level to
one byte, which (experimentally) seems to avoid the problematic THRE
behavior.

<title>rseq: Remove broken uapi field layout on 32-bit little endian</title>

[ Upstream commit bfdf4e6208051ed7165b2e92035b4bf11f43eb63 ]

The rseq rseq_cs.ptr.{ptr32,padding} uapi endianness handling is
entirely wrong on 32-bit little endian: a preprocessor logic mistake
wrongly uses the big endian field layout on 32-bit little endian
architectures.

Fortunately, those ptr32 accessors were never used within the kernel,
and only meant as a convenience for user-space.

Remove those and replace the whole rseq_cs union by a __u64 type, as
this is the only thing really needed to express the ABI. Document how
32-bit architectures are meant to interact with this field.
