<title>selftests/bpf: Remove hexdump dependency</title>

<id>1e5c009126952f673ffa2427acbd69e57493f0d2</id>

The verification signature header generation requires converting a
binary certificate to a C array. Previously this only worked with xxd,
and a switch to hexdump has been done in commit b640d556a2b3
("selftests/bpf: Remove xxd util dependency").

hexdump is a more common utility program, yet it might not be installed
by default. When it is not installed, BPF selftests build without
errors, but tests_progs is unusable: it exits with the 255 code and
without any error messages. When manually reproducing the issue, it is
not too hard to find out that the generated verification_cert.h file is
incorrect, but that's time consuming. When digging the BPF selftests
build logs, this line can be seen amongst thousands others, but ignored:

  /bin/sh: 2: hexdump: not found

Here, od is used instead of hexdump. od is coming from the coreutils
package, and this new od command produces the same output when using od
from GNU coreutils, uutils, and even busybox. This is more portable, and
it produces a similar results to what was done before with hexdump:
there is an extra comma at the end instead of trailing whitespaces,
but the C code is not impacted.

hexdump is a more common utility program, yet it might not be installed
by default. When it is not installed, BPF selftests build without
errors, but tests_progs is unusable: it exits with the 255 code and
without any error messages. When manually reproducing the issue, it is
not too hard to find out that the generated verification_cert.h file is
incorrect, but that's time consuming. When digging the BPF selftests
build logs, this line can be seen amongst thousands others, but ignored:

  /bin/sh: 2: hexdump: not found

Here, od is used instead of hexdump. od is coming from the coreutils
package, and this new od command produces the same output when using od
from GNU coreutils, uutils, and even busybox. This is more portable, and
it produces a similar results to what was done before with hexdump:
there is an extra comma at the end instead of trailing whitespaces,
but the C code is not impacted.

<title>selftests: tc_actions: don't dump 2MB of \0 to stdout</title>

Since we started running selftests in NIPA we have been seeing
tc_actions.sh generate a soft lockup warning on ~20% of the runs.
On the pre-netdev foundation setup it was actually a missed irq
splat from the console. Now it's either that or a lockup.

I initially suspected a socket locking issue since the test
is exercising local loopback with act_mirred.
After hours of staring at this I noticed in strace that ncat
when -o $file is specified _both_ saves the output to the file
and still prints it to stdout. Because the file being sent
is constructed with:

  dd conv=sparse status=none if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=2 of=$mirred
                                ^^^^^^^^^

the data printed is all \0. Most terminals don't display nul
characters (and neither does vng output capture save them).
But QEMU's serial console still has to poke them thru which
is very slow and causes the lockup (if the file is &gt;600kB).

Replace the '-o $file' with '&gt; $file'. This speeds the test up
from 2m20s to 18s on debug kernels, and prevents the warnings.

<title>selftests: forwarding: fix pedit tests failure with br_netfilter enabled</title>

The tests use the tc pedit action to modify the IPv4 source address
("pedit ex munge ip src set"), but the IP header checksum is not
recalculated after the modification. As a result, the modified packet
fails sanity checks in br_netfilter after bridging and is dropped,
which causes the test to fail.

Fix this by ensuring net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-iptables is set to 0
during the test execution. This prevents the bridge from passing
L2 traffic to netfilter, bypassing the checksum validation that
causes the test failure.
