commit 973377ffe8148180b2651825b92ae91988141b05 upstream.

In almost all cases from test_verifier that have been changed in here, we've
had an unreachable path with a load from a register which has an invalid
address on purpose. This was basically to make sure that we never walk this
path and to have the verifier complain if it would otherwise. Change it to
match on the right error for unprivileged given we now test these paths
under speculative execution.

There's one case where we match on exact # of insns_processed. Due to the
extra path, this will of course mismatch on unprivileged. Thus, restrict the
test-&gt;insn_processed check to privileged-only.

In one other case, we result in a 'pointer comparison prohibited' error. This
is similarly due to verifying an 'invalid' branch where we end up with a value
pointer on one side of the comparison.

commit 0db282ba2c12c1515d490d14a1ff696643ab0f1b upstream.

This test passes pointers obtained from anon_allocate_area to the
userfaultfd and mremap APIs.  This causes a problem if the system
allocator returns tagged pointers because with the tagged address ABI
the kernel rejects tagged addresses passed to these APIs, which would
end up causing the test to fail.  To make this test compatible with such
system allocators, stop using the system allocator to allocate memory in
anon_allocate_area, and instead just use mmap.

[ Upstream commit 45677c9aebe926192e59475b35a1ff35ff2d4217 ]

The "no_handler_test" in ebb selftests attempts to read the PMU
registers twice via helper function "dump_ebb_state". First dump is
just before closing of event and the second invocation is done after
closing of the event. The original intention of second
dump_ebb_state was to dump the state of registers at the end of
the test when the counters are frozen. But this will be achieved
with the first call itself since sample period is set to low value
and PMU will be frozen by then. Hence patch removes the
dump which was done before closing of the event.

[ Upstream commit 0d3e5a057992bdc66e4dca2ca50b77fa4a7bd90e ]

This test will require /dev/rtc0, the default RTC device, or one
specified by user to run. Since this default RTC is not guaranteed to
exist on all of the devices, so check its existence first, otherwise
skip this test with the kselftest skip code 4.

Without this patch this test will fail like this on a s390x zVM:
$ selftests: timers: rtcpie
$ /dev/rtc0: No such file or directory
not ok 1 selftests: timers: rtcpie # exit=22

With this patch:
$ selftests: timers: rtcpie
$ Default RTC /dev/rtc0 does not exist. Test Skipped!
not ok 9 selftests: timers: rtcpie # SKIP

Fixed up change log so "With this patch" text doesn't get dropped.

[ Upstream commit f36ef407628835a7d7fb3d235b1f1aac7022d9a3 ]

Patch series "selftests/vm/pkeys: Bug fixes and a new test".

There has been a lot of activity on the x86 front around the XSAVE
architecture which is used to context-switch processor state (among other
things).  In addition, AMD has recently joined the protection keys club by
adding processor support for PKU.

The AMD implementation helped uncover a kernel bug around the PKRU "init
state", which actually applied to Intel's implementation but was just
harder to hit.  This series adds a test which is expected to help find
this class of bug both on AMD and Intel.  All the work around pkeys on x86
also uncovered a few bugs in the selftest.

This patch (of 4):

The "random" pkey allocation code currently does the good old:

	srand((unsigned int)time(NULL));

*But*, it unfortunately does this on every random pkey allocation.

There may be thousands of these a second.  time() has a one second
resolution.  So, each time alloc_random_pkey() is called, the PRNG is
*RESET* to time().  This is nasty.  Normally, if you do:

	srand(&lt;ANYTHING&gt;);
	foo = rand();
	bar = rand();

You'll be quite guaranteed that 'foo' and 'bar' are different.  But, if
you do:

	srand(1);
	foo = rand();
	srand(1);
	bar = rand();

You are quite guaranteed that 'foo' and 'bar' are the *SAME*.  The recent
"fix" effectively forced the test case to use the same "random" pkey for
the whole test, unless the test run crossed a second boundary.

Only run srand() once at program startup.

This explains some very odd and persistent test failures I've been seeing.

[ Upstream commit d8ac05ea13d789d5491a5920d70a05659015441d ]

KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION ioctl can return any negative value on error,
and not necessarily -1. Change the assertion to reflect that.

commit c77b0589ca29ad1859fe7d7c1ecd63c0632379fa upstream

Some architectures have strict alignment requirements. In that case,
the BPF verifier detects if a program has unaligned accesses and
rejects them. A user can pass BPF_F_ANY_ALIGNMENT to a program to
override this check. That, however, will only work when a privileged
user loads a program. An unprivileged user loading a program with this
flag will be rejected prior entering the verifier.

Hence, it does not make sense to load unprivileged programs without
strict alignment when testing the verifier. This patch avoids exactly
that.

commit e2c6f50e48849298bed694de03cceb537d95cdc4 upstream

RISC-V does, in-general, not have "efficient unaligned access". When
testing the RISC-V BPF JIT, some selftests failed in the verification
due to misaligned access. Annotate these tests with the
F_NEEDS_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS flag.

commit 0a68632488aa0129ed530af9ae9e8573f5650812 upstream

If a testcase has alignment problems but is expected to be ACCEPT,
verify it using F_NEEDS_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS too.

Maybe in the future if we add some architecture specific code to elide
the unaligned memory access warnings during the test, we can execute
these as well.
