[ Upstream commit dfa453bc90eca0febff33c8d292a656e53702158 ]

Add a testcase for probe point definition. This tests
symbol, address and symbol+offset syntax. The offset
must be positive and smaller than UINT_MAX.

<title>selftests/powerpc: Fix TM resched DSCR test with some compilers</title>

[ Upstream commit fe06fe860250a4f01d0eaf70a2563b1997174a74 ]

The tm-resched-dscr test has started failing sometimes, depending on
what compiler it's built with, eg:

  test: tm_resched_dscr
  Check DSCR TM context switch: tm-resched-dscr: tm-resched-dscr.c:76: test_body: Assertion `rv' failed.
  !! child died by signal 6

When it fails we see that the compiler doesn't initialise rv to 1 before
entering the inline asm block. Although that's counter intuitive, it
is allowed because we tell the compiler that the inline asm will write
to rv (using "=r"), meaning the original value is irrelevant.

Marking it as a read/write parameter would presumably work, but it seems
simpler to fix it by setting the initial value of rv in the inline asm.

[ Upstream commit 2adfa4210f8f35cdfb4e08318cc06b99752964c2 ]

The 'configinit.sh' script checks the format of optional argument for the
build directory, printing an error message if the format is not valid.
However, the error message uses the wrong variable, indicating an empty
string even though the user entered a non-empty (but erroneous) string.
This commit fixes the script to use the correct variable.

[ Upstream commit a6d8a21596df041f36f4c2ccc260c459e3e851f1 ]

Tests under alignment subdirectory are skipped when executed on previous
generation hardware, but harness still marks them as failed.

  test: test_copy_unaligned
  tags: git_version:unknown
  [SKIP] Test skipped on line 26
  skip: test_copy_unaligned
  selftests: copy_unaligned [FAIL]

The MAGIC_SKIP_RETURN_VALUE value assigned to rc variable is retained till
the program exit which causes the test to be marked as failed.

This patch resets the value before returning to the main() routine.
With this patch the test o/p is as follows:

  test: test_copy_unaligned
  tags: git_version:unknown
  [SKIP] Test skipped on line 26
  skip: test_copy_unaligned

[ Upstream commit ed8b0de5a33d2a2557dce7f9429dca8cb5bc5879 ]

"rm -rf" is bricking some peoples' laptops because of variables being
used to store non-reinitializable firmware driver data that's required
to POST the hardware.

These are 100% bugs, and they need to be fixed, but in the mean time it
shouldn't be easy to *accidentally* brick machines.

We have to have delete working, and picking which variables do and don't
work for deletion is quite intractable, so instead make everything
immutable by default (except for a whitelist), and make tools that
aren't quite so broad-spectrum unset the immutable flag.

commit 9972fc0b859e7aaeb6d2d33bdb591959d9a436c0 upstream.

Commit 6071c22e1755 "ktest: Rewrite the config-bisect to actually work"
fixed the config-bisect to work nicely but in doing so it broke
make_min_config by changing the way assign_configs works.

The assign_configs function now adds the config to the hash even if
it is disabled, but changes the hash value to be that of the
line "# CONFIG_FOO is not set". Unfortunately, the make_min_config
test only checks to see if the config is removed. It now needs to
check if the config is in the hash and not set to be disabled.

Commit 6071c22e1755 "ktest: Rewrite the config-bisect to actually work"
fixed the config-bisect to work nicely but in doing so it broke
make_min_config by changing the way assign_configs works.

The assign_configs function now adds the config to the hash even if
it is disabled, but changes the hash value to be that of the
line "# CONFIG_FOO is not set". Unfortunately, the make_min_config
test only checks to see if the config is removed. It now needs to
check if the config is in the hash and not set to be disabled.
