<content type='text'>
commit da2577fdd0932ea4eefe73903f1130ee366767d2 upstream.

If the leftmost parent node of the tree has does not have a child
on the left side, then trie_get_next_key (and bpftool map dump) will
not look at the child on the right.  This leads to the traversal
missing elements.

Lookup is not affected.

Update selftest to handle this case.

Reproducer:

 bpftool map create /sys/fs/bpf/lpm type lpm_trie key 6 \
     value 1 entries 256 name test_lpm flags 1
 bpftool map update pinned /sys/fs/bpf/lpm key  8 0 0 0  0   0 value 1
 bpftool map update pinned /sys/fs/bpf/lpm key 16 0 0 0  0 128 value 2
 bpftool map dump   pinned /sys/fs/bpf/lpm

Returns only 1 element. (2 expected)

[ Upstream commit 1fcd0eb356ad56c4e405f06e31dd9fde2109d5ab ]

Define __NR_pidfd_send_signal if it isn't to prevent a potential
compilation error.

To make pidfd-test compile on all arches, irrespective of whether
or not syscall numbers are assigned, define the syscall number to -1.
If it isn't defined this will cause the kernel to return -ENOSYS.

<title>selftests: set sysctl bc_forwarding properly in router_broadcast.sh</title>

[ Upstream commit 67c0aaa1eaec60e9dab301012bdebe6726ae04bd ]

sysctl setting bc_forwarding for $rp2 is needed when ping_test_from h2,
otherwise the bc packets from $rp2 won't be forwarded. This patch is to
add this setting for $rp2.

Also, as ping_test_from does grep "$from" only, which could match some
unexpected output, some test case doesn't really work, like:

  # ping_test_from $h2 198.51.200.255 198.51.200.2
    PING 198.51.200.255 from 198.51.100.2 veth3: 56(84) bytes of data.
    64 bytes from 198.51.100.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.336 ms

When doing grep $form (198.51.200.2), the output could still match.
So change to grep "bytes from $from" instead.

[ Upstream commit 6738028dd57df064b969d8392c943ef3b3ae705d ]

Command 'perf record' and 'perf report' on a system without kernel
debuginfo packages uses /proc/kallsyms and /proc/modules to find
addresses for kernel and module symbols. On x86 this works for root and
non-root users.

On s390, when invoked as non-root user, many of the following warnings
are shown and module symbols are missing:

    proc/{kallsyms,modules} inconsistency while looking for
        "[sha1_s390]" module!

Command 'perf record' creates a list of module start addresses by
parsing the output of /proc/modules and creates a PERF_RECORD_MMAP
record for the kernel and each module. The following function call
sequence is executed:

  machine__create_kernel_maps
    machine__create_module
      modules__parse
        machine__create_module --&gt; for each line in /proc/modules
          arch__fix_module_text_start

Function arch__fix_module_text_start() is s390 specific. It opens
file /sys/module/&lt;name&gt;/sections/.text to extract the module's .text
section start address. On s390 the module loader prepends a header
before the first section, whereas on x86 the module's text section
address is identical the the module's load address.

However module section files are root readable only. For non-root the
read operation fails and machine__create_module() returns an error.
Command perf record does not generate any PERF_RECORD_MMAP record
for loaded modules. Later command perf report complains about missing
module maps.

To fix this function arch__fix_module_text_start() always returns
success. For root users there is no change, for non-root users
the module's load address is used as module's text start address
(the prepended header then counts as part of the text section).

This enable non-root users to use module symbols and avoid the
warning when perf report is executed.

Output before:

  [tmricht@m83lp54 perf]$ ./perf report -D | fgrep MMAP
  0 0x168 [0x50]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP ... x [kernel.kallsyms]_text

Output after:

  [tmricht@m83lp54 perf]$ ./perf report -D | fgrep MMAP
  0 0x168 [0x50]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP ... x [kernel.kallsyms]_text
  0 0x1b8 [0x98]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP ... x /lib/modules/.../autofs4.ko.xz
  0 0x250 [0xa8]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP ... x /lib/modules/.../sha_common.ko.xz
  0 0x2f8 [0x98]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP ... x /lib/modules/.../des_generic.ko.xz

[ Upstream commit 6584140ba9e6762dd7ec73795243289b914f31f9 ]

It seems that the current code lacks holding the namespace lock in
thread__namespaces().  Otherwise it can see inconsistent results.
