commit 1792a59eab9593de2eae36c40c5a22d70f52c026 upstream.

To pick the changes in:

  321827477360934d ("icmp: don't send out ICMP messages with a source address of 0.0.0.0")

That don't result in any change in tooling, as INADDR_ are not used to
generate id-&gt;string tables used by 'perf trace'.

This addresses this build warning:

  Warning: Kernel ABI header at 'tools/include/uapi/linux/in.h' differs from latest version at 'include/uapi/linux/in.h'
  diff -u tools/include/uapi/linux/in.h include/uapi/linux/in.h

commit e9ee9efc0d176512cdce9d27ff8549d7ffa2bfcd upstream

Often we want to write tests cases that check things like bad context
offset accesses.  And one way to do this is to use an odd offset on,
for example, a 32-bit load.

This unfortunately triggers the alignment checks first on platforms
that do not set CONFIG_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS.  So the test
case see the alignment failure rather than what it was testing for.

It is often not completely possible to respect the original intention
of the test, or even test the same exact thing, while solving the
alignment issue.

Another option could have been to check the alignment after the
context and other validations are performed by the verifier, but
that is a non-trivial change to the verifier.

[ Upstream commit 39c0a53b114d0317e5c4e76b631f41d133af5cb0 ]

perf_event.h has macros that define the field offsets in the data_src
bitmask in perf records. The SNOOPX and REMOTE offsets were both 37.

These are distinct fields, and the bitfield layout in perf_mem_data_src
confirms that SNOOPX should be at offset 38.

Committer notes:

This was extracted from a larger patch that also contained kernel
changes.

Found while fixing some other problem, before it was escaping the
tools/ chroot and using stuff in the kernel sources:

fix from commit 36f9814a494 ("bpf: fix uapi hole for 32 bit compat

commit b85fab0e67b162 ("bpf: Add gpl_compatible flag to struct

like m68k. Add 31-bit pad after gpl_compatible to restore alignment of

<title>tools uapi: fix RISC-V 64-bit support</title>

[ Upstream commit d0df00e30e4bf9bc27ddbd092ad683ff6121b360 ]

The BPF library is not built on 64-bit RISC-V, as the BPF feature is
not detected. Looking more in details, feature/test-bpf.c fails to build
with the following error:

| In file included from /tmp/linux-4.19.12/tools/include/uapi/asm/bitsperlong.h:17,
|                  from /tmp/linux-4.19.12/tools/include/uapi/asm-generic/unistd.h:2,
|                  from /usr/include/riscv64-linux-gnu/asm/unistd.h:1,
|                  from test-bpf.c:2:
| /tmp/linux-4.19.12/tools/include/asm-generic/bitsperlong.h:14:2: error: #error Inconsistent word size. Check asm/bitsperlong.h
|  #error Inconsistent word size. Check asm/bitsperlong.h
|   ^~~~~

The UAPI from the tools directory is missing RISC-V support, therefore
bitsperlong.h from asm-generic is used, defaulting to 32 bits.

Fix that by adding tools/arch/riscv/include/uapi/asm/bitsperlong.h as
a copy of arch/riscv/include/uapi/asm/bitsperlong.h and by updating
tools/include/uapi/asm/bitsperlong.h.

commit 9137bb27e60e554dab694eafa4cca241fa3a694f upstream

Add the PR_SPEC_INDIRECT_BRANCH option for the PR_GET_SPECULATION_CTRL and
PR_SET_SPECULATION_CTRL prctls to allow fine grained per task control of
indirect branch speculation via STIBP and IBPB.

Invocations:
 Check indirect branch speculation status with
 - prctl(PR_GET_SPECULATION_CTRL, PR_SPEC_INDIRECT_BRANCH, 0, 0, 0);

 Enable indirect branch speculation with
 - prctl(PR_SET_SPECULATION_CTRL, PR_SPEC_INDIRECT_BRANCH, PR_SPEC_ENABLE, 0, 0);

 Disable indirect branch speculation with
 - prctl(PR_SET_SPECULATION_CTRL, PR_SPEC_INDIRECT_BRANCH, PR_SPEC_DISABLE, 0, 0);

 Force disable indirect branch speculation with
 - prctl(PR_SET_SPECULATION_CTRL, PR_SPEC_INDIRECT_BRANCH, PR_SPEC_FORCE_DISABLE, 0, 0);

To pick up the changes introduced in:

  6fbbde9a1969 ("KVM: x86: Control guest reads of MSR_PLATFORM_INFO")

That is not yet used in tools such as 'perf trace'.

The type of the change in this file, a simple integer parameter to the
KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION ioctl should be easier to implement tho, adding to
the libbeauty TODO list.

This silences this perf build warning:

  Warning: Kernel ABI header at 'tools/include/uapi/linux/kvm.h' differs from latest version at 'include/uapi/linux/kvm.h'
  diff -u tools/include/uapi/linux/kvm.h include/uapi/linux/kvm.h
