commit ed5f13261cb65b02c611ae9971677f33581d4286 upstream.

Passing EPERM during syscall skipping was confusing since the test wasn't
actually exercising the errno evaluation -- it was just passing a literal
"1" (EPERM). Instead, expand the tests to check both direct value returns
(positive, 45000 in this case), and errno values (negative, -ESRCH in this
case) to check both fake success and fake failure during syscall skipping.

This reverts commit e65cd9a20343ea90f576c24c38ee85ab6e7d5fec.

Tommi T. Rrantala notes:

	PTRACE_SECCOMP_GET_METADATA was only added in 4.16
	(26500475ac1b499d8636ff281311d633909f5d20)

	And it's also breaking seccomp_bpf.c compilation for me:

	seccomp_bpf.c: In function ‘get_metadata’:
	seccomp_bpf.c:2878:26: error: storage size of ‘md’ isn’t known
	  struct seccomp_metadata md;

<title>x86/selftests/pkeys: Fork() to check for state being preserved</title>

commit e1812933b17be7814f51b6c310c5d1ced7a9a5f5 upstream.

There was a bug where the per-mm pkey state was not being preserved across
fork() in the child.  fork() is performed in the pkey selftests, but all of
the pkey activity is performed in the parent.  The child does not perform
any actions sensitive to pkey state.

To make the test more sensitive to these kinds of bugs, add a fork() where
the parent exits, and execution continues in the child.

To achieve this let the key exhaustion test not terminate at the first
allocation failure and fork after 2*NR_PKEYS loops and continue in the
child.

<title>selftests: do not macro-expand failed assertion expressions</title>

[ Upstream commit b708a3cc9600390ccaa2b68a88087dd265154b2b ]

I've stumbled over the current macro-expand behaviour of the test
harness:

$ gcc -Wall -xc - &lt;&lt;'__EOF__'
TEST(macro) {
	int status = 0;
	ASSERT_TRUE(WIFSIGNALED(status));
}
TEST_HARNESS_MAIN
__EOF__
$ ./a.out
[==========] Running 1 tests from 1 test cases.
[ RUN      ] global.macro
&lt;stdin&gt;:4:global.macro:Expected 0 (0) != (((signed char) (((status) &amp; 0x7f) + 1) &gt;&gt; 1) &gt; 0) (0)
global.macro: Test terminated by assertion
[     FAIL ] global.macro
[==========] 0 / 1 tests passed.
[  FAILED  ]

With this change the output of the same test looks much more
comprehensible:

[==========] Running 1 tests from 1 test cases.
[ RUN      ] global.macro
&lt;stdin&gt;:4:global.macro:Expected 0 (0) != WIFSIGNALED(status) (0)
global.macro: Test terminated by assertion
[     FAIL ] global.macro
[==========] 0 / 1 tests passed.
[  FAILED  ]

The issue is very similar to the bug fixed in glibc assert(3)
three years ago:

<title>mm, devm_memremap_pages: mark devm_memremap_pages() EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL</title>

commit 808153e1187fa77ac7d7dad261ff476888dcf398 upstream.

devm_memremap_pages() is a facility that can create struct page entries
for any arbitrary range and give drivers the ability to subvert core
aspects of page management.

Specifically the facility is tightly integrated with the kernel's memory
hotplug functionality.  It injects an altmap argument deep into the
architecture specific vmemmap implementation to allow allocating from
specific reserved pages, and it has Linux specific assumptions about page
structure reference counting relative to get_user_pages() and
get_user_pages_fast().  It was an oversight and a mistake that this was
not marked EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL from the outset.

Again, devm_memremap_pagex() exposes and relies upon core kernel internal
assumptions and will continue to evolve along with 'struct page', memory
hotplug, and support for new memory types / topologies.  Only an in-kernel
GPL-only driver is expected to keep up with this ongoing evolution.  This
interface, and functionality derived from this interface, is not suitable
for kernel-external drivers.

Start flood ping for each cpu while loading/flushing rulesets to make

Also add this to TARGETS so 'make run_tests' in selftest dir runs it
automatically.

commit 48dc0ef19044bfb69193302fbe3a834e3331b7ae upstream.

Test ptrace-tm-spd-gpr fails on current kernel (4.19) due to a segmentation
fault that happens on the child process prior to setting cptr[2] = 1. This
causes the parent process to wait forever at 'while (!pptr[2])' and the test to
be killed by the test harness framework by timeout, thus, failing.

The segmentation fault happens because of a inline assembly being
generated as:

	0x10000355c &lt;tm_spd_gpr+492&gt;    lfs    f0, 0(0)

This is reading memory position 0x0 and causing the segmentation fault.

This code is being generated by ASM_LOAD_FPR_SINGLE_PRECISION(flt_4), where
flt_4 is passed to the inline assembly block as:

	[flt_4] "r" (&amp;d)

Since the inline assembly 'r' constraint means any GPR, gpr0 is being
chosen, thus causing this issue when issuing a Load Floating-Point Single
instruction.

This patch simply changes the constraint to 'b', which specify that this
register will be used as base, and r0 is not allowed to be used, avoiding
this issue.

Other than that, removing flt_2 register from the input operands, since it
is not used by the inline assembly code at all.
