test_kprobes: clear kprobes between test runs

2026-06-01T15:43:11+00:00

[ Upstream commit ef5581bb30efb939cc2bf093475c6cc85258e5cd ] Running the kprobes sanity tests twice makes all tests fail and eventually crashes the kernel. [root@martin-riscv-1 ~]# echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/kunit/kprobes_test/run ... # Totals: pass:5 fail:0 skip:0 total:5 ok 1 kprobes_test [root@martin-riscv-1 ~]# echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/kunit/kprobes_test/run ... # test_kprobe: EXPECTATION FAILED at lib/tests/test_kprobes.c:64 Expected 0 == register_kprobe(&kp), but register_kprobe(&kp) == -22 (0xffffffffffffffea) ... Unable to handle kernel paging request ... The testsuite defines several kprobes and kretprobes as static variables that are preserved across test runs. After register_kprobe and unregister_kprobe, a kprobe contains some leftover data that must be cleared before the kprobe can be registered again. The tests are setting symbol_name to define the probe location. Address and flags must be cleared. The existing code clears some of the probes between subsequent tests, but not between two test runs. The leftover data from a previous test run makes the registrations fail in the next run. Move the cleanups for all kprobes into kprobes_test_init, this function is called before each single test (including the first test of a test run).

test_kprobes: Add recursed kprobe test case

2023-02-20T23:52:42+00:00

Add a recursed kprobe test case to the KUnit test module for kprobes. This will probe a function which is called from the pre_handler and post_handler itself. If the kprobe is correctly implemented, the recursed kprobe handlers will be skipped and the number of skipped kprobe will be counted on kprobe::nmissed.

treewide: use get_random_u32() when possible

2022-10-11T23:42:58+00:00

The prandom_u32() function has been a deprecated inline wrapper around get_random_u32() for several releases now, and compiles down to the exact same code. Replace the deprecated wrapper with a direct call to the real function. The same also applies to get_random_int(), which is just a wrapper around get_random_u32(). This was done as a basic find and replace.

test_kprobes: Move it from kernel/ to lib/

2021-10-26T21:23:46+00:00

Since config KPROBES_SANITY_TEST is in lib/Kconfig.debug, it is better to let test_kprobes.c in lib/, just like other similar tests found in lib/.
