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>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
sure we do not access already-free'd rules from nf_tables evaluation loop.

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

This would have caught the bug fixed in previous change
("netfilter: nf_tables: do not skip inactive chains during generation update")
sooner.

[ Upstream commit 693b31b2fc1636f0aa7af53136d3b49f6ad9ff39 ]

Test tm-tmspr might exit before all threads stop executing, because it just
waits for the very last thread to join before proceeding/exiting.

This patch makes sure that all threads that were created will join before
proceeding/exiting.

This patch also guarantees that the amount of threads being created is equal
to thread_num.

[ Upstream commit 1416270f4a1ae83ea84156ceba19a66a8f88be1f ]

In the past we've warned when ADJ_OFFSET was in progress, usually
caused by ntpd or some other time adjusting daemon running in non
steady sate, which can cause the skew calculations to be
incorrect.

Thus, this patch checks to see if the clock was being adjusted
when we fail so that we don't cause false negatives.

[ Upstream commit 7c27a26e1ed5a7dd709aa19685d2c98f64e1cf0c ]

There are some powerpc selftests, as tm/tm-unavailable, that run for a long
period (&gt;120 seconds), and if it is interrupted, as pressing CRTL-C
(SIGINT), the foreground process (harness) dies but the child process and
threads continue to execute (with PPID = 1 now) in background.

In this case, you'd think the whole test exited, but there are remaining
threads and processes being executed in background. Sometimes these
zombies processes are doing annoying things, as consuming the whole CPU or
dumping things to STDOUT.

This patch fixes this problem by attaching an empty signal handler to
SIGINT in the harness process. This handler will interrupt (EINTR) the
parent process waitpid() call, letting the code to follow through the
normal flow, which will kill all the processes in the child process group.

This patch also fixes a typo.
