[ Upstream commit 83e4b196838d90799a8879e5054a3beecf9ed256 ]

RHEL/Fedora RPM build checks are stricter, and complain when executable
files don't have a shebang line, e.g.

*** WARNING: ./kselftests/net/forwarding/sch_red.sh is executable but has no shebang, removing executable bit

Fix it by adding shebang line.

[ Upstream commit 5b427df27b94aec1312cace48a746782a0925c53 ]

/proc/kallsyms and /proc/modules are compared before and after the copy
in order to ensure no changes during the copy.

However /proc/modules also might change due to reference counts changing
even though that does not make any difference.

Any modules loaded or unloaded should be visible in changes to kallsyms,
so it is not necessary to check /proc/modules also anyway.

Remove the comparison checking that /proc/modules is unchanged.

<title>perf stat: Fix BPF program section name</title>

[ Upstream commit 0d77326c3369e255715ed2440a78894ccc98dd69 ]

It seems the recent libbpf got more strict about the section name.
I'm seeing a failure like this:

  $ sudo ./perf stat -a --bpf-counters --for-each-cgroup ^. sleep 1
  libbpf: prog 'on_cgrp_switch': missing BPF prog type, check ELF section name 'perf_events'
  libbpf: prog 'on_cgrp_switch': failed to load: -22
  libbpf: failed to load object 'bperf_cgroup_bpf'
  libbpf: failed to load BPF skeleton 'bperf_cgroup_bpf': -22
  Failed to load cgroup skeleton

The section name should be 'perf_event' (without the trailing 's').
Although it's related to the libbpf change, it'd be better fix the
section name in the first place.

commit 95363747a6f39e88a3052fcf6ce6237769495ce0 upstream.

tools/include/uapi/asm/errno.h currently attempts to include
non-existent arch-specific errno.h header for xtensa.
Remove this case so that &lt;asm-generic/errno.h&gt; is used instead,
and add the missing arch-specific header for parisc.

commit 9d5f0c36438eeae7566ca383b2b673179e3cc613 upstream.

Its more intention revealing, and if we're interested in the odd cases
where this may end up truncating we can do debug checks at one
centralized place.

Motivation, of all the container builds, fedora rawhide started
complaining of:

[ Upstream commit 82b2425fad2dd47204b3da589b679220f8aacc0e ]

Commit b91e5492f9d7ca89 ("perf record: Add a dummy event on hybrid
systems to collect metadata records") adds a dummy event on hybrid
systems to fix the symbol "unknown" issue when the workload is created
in a P-core but runs on an E-core. The added dummy event will cause
"perf script -F iregs" to fail. Dummy events do not have "iregs"
attribute set, so when we do evsel__check_attr, the "iregs" attribute
check will fail, so the issue happened.

The following commit [1] has fixed a similar issue by skipping the attr
check for the dummy event because it does not have any samples anyway. It
works okay for the normal mode, but the issue still happened when running
the test in the pipe mode. In the pipe mode, it calls process_attr() which
still checks the attr for the dummy event. This commit fixed the issue by
skipping the attr check for the dummy event in the API evsel__check_attr,
Otherwise, we have to patch everywhere when evsel__check_attr() is called.

Before:

  #./perf record -o - --intr-regs=di,r8,dx,cx -e br_inst_retired.near_call:p -c 1000 --per-thread true 2&gt;/dev/null|./perf script -F iregs |head -5
  Samples for 'dummy:HG' event do not have IREGS attribute set. Cannot print 'iregs' field.

[ Upstream commit b71b7bfeac38c7a21c423ddafb29aa6258949df8 ]

"ns1" is a too generic name, use a random suffix to avoid
errors when such a netns exists.  Also allows to run multiple
instances of the script in parallel.

<title>perf stat: Clear evsel-&gt;reset_group for each stat run</title>

commit bf515f024e4c0ca46a1b08c4f31860c01781d8a5 upstream.

If a weak group is broken then the reset_group flag remains set for
the next run. Having reset_group set means the counter isn't created
and ultimately a segfault.

A simple reproduction of this is:

  # perf stat -r2 -e '{cycles,cycles,cycles,cycles,cycles,cycles,cycles,cycles,cycles,cycles}:W

which will be added as a test in the next patch.
