selftests/arm64: Implement cmpbr_sigill() to hwcap test

2026-03-14T16:58:16+00:00

The function executes a CBEQ instruction which is valid if the CPU supports the CMPBR extension. The CBEQ branches to skip the following UDF instruction, and no SIGILL is generated. Otherwise, it will generate a SIGILL. Signed-off-by: Yifan Wu Reviewed-by: Mark Brown Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas

selftest/arm64: Fix sve2p1_sigill() to hwcap test

2026-03-06T11:54:26+00:00

The FEAT_SVE2p1 is indicated by ID_AA64ZFR0_EL1.SVEver. However, the BFADD requires the FEAT_SVE_B16B16, which is indicated by ID_AA64ZFR0_EL1.B16B16. This could cause the test to incorrectly fail on a CPU that supports FEAT_SVE2.1 but not FEAT_SVE_B16B16. LD1Q Gather load quadwords which is decoded from SVE encodings and implied by FEAT_SVE2p1.

kselftest/arm64: Raise default number of loops in fp-pidbench

2026-01-28T13:09:30+00:00

When fp-pidbench was originally written SVE hardware was not widely available so it was useful to run it in emulation and the default number of loops was set very low, running for less than a second on actual hardware. Now that SVE hardware is reasonably available it is very much less interesting to use emulation, bump the default number of loops up to even out a bit of the noise on real systems. On the machine I have to hand this now takes about 15s which is still a toy microbenchmark but perhaps a bit more useful. Signed-off-by: Mark Brown Signed-off-by: Will Deacon

kselftest/arm64: Add a no-SVE loop after SVE in fp-pidbench

2026-01-28T13:09:30+00:00

Some applications use SVE intermittently, one common case being where SVE is used during statup (eg, by ld.so) but then rarely if ever during the main application runtime. Add a repeat of the no SVE loop after we've done the SVE loops to fp-pidbench to capture results for that. Signed-off-by: Mark Brown Signed-off-by: Will Deacon

kselftest/arm64: Add HWCAP test for FEAT_LS64

2026-01-22T13:25:33+00:00

Add tests for FEAT_LS64. Issue related instructions if feature presents, no SIGILL should be received. When such instructions operate on Device memory or non-cacheable memory, we may received a SIGBUS during the test (w/o FEAT_LS64WB). Just ignore it since we only tested whether the instruction itself can be issued as expected on platforms declaring the support of such features.

kselftest/arm64: Use syscall() macro over nolibc my_syscall()

2026-01-22T11:21:09+00:00

The my_syscall*() macros are internal implementation details of nolibc. Nolibc also provides the regular syscall(2), which is also a macro and directly expands to the correct my_syscall(). Use syscall() instead. As a side-effect this fixes some return value checks, as my_syscall() returns the raw value as set by the kernel and does not set errno.

kselftest/arm64: Support FORCE_TARGETS

2026-01-05T21:16:46+00:00

The top level kselftest Makefile supports an option FORCE_TARGETS which causes any failures during the build to be propagated to the exit status of the top level make, useful during build testing. Currently the recursion done by the arm64 selftests ignores this option, meaning arm64 failures are not reported via this mechanism. Add the logic to implement FORCE_TARGETS so that it works for arm64. Signed-off-by: Mark Brown Acked-by: Shuah Khan Signed-off-by: Will Deacon

Also preparation for LUO - "Live Update Orchestrator" (Pasha Tatashin) is a major new feature targeted at cloud environments. Quoting the cover letter: This series introduces the Live Update Orchestrator, a kernel subsystem designed to facilitate live kernel updates using a kexec-based reboot. This capability is critical for cloud environments, allowing hypervisors to be updated with minimal downtime for running virtual machines. LUO achieves this by preserving the state of selected resources, such as memory, devices and their dependencies, across the kernel transition. As a key feature, this series includes support for preserving memfd file descriptors, which allows critical in-memory data, such as guest RAM or any other large memory region, to be maintained in RAM across the kexec reboot. Mike Rappaport merits a mention here, for his extensive review and testing work. - "kexec: reorganize kexec and kdump sysfs" (Sourabh Jain) moves the kexec and kdump sysfs entries from /sys/kernel/ to /sys/kernel/kexec/ and adds back-compatibility symlinks which can hopefully be removed one day - "kho: fixes for vmalloc restoration" (Mike Rapoport) fixes a BUG which was being hit during KHO restoration of vmalloc() regions * tag 'mm-nonmm-stable-2025-12-06-11-14' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (139 commits) calibrate: update header inclusion Reinstate "resource: avoid unnecessary lookups in find_next_iomem_res()" vmcoreinfo: track and log recoverable hardware errors kho: fix restoring of contiguous ranges of order-0 pages kho: kho_restore_vmalloc: fix initialization of pages array MAINTAINERS: TPM DEVICE DRIVER: update the W-tag init: replace simple_strtoul with kstrtoul to improve lpj_setup KHO: fix boot failure due to kmemleak access to non-PRESENT pages Documentation/ABI: new kexec and kdump sysfs interface Documentation/ABI: mark old kexec sysfs deprecated kexec: move sysfs entries to /sys/kernel/kexec test_kho: always print restore status kho: free chunks using free_page() instead of kfree() selftests/liveupdate: add kexec test for multiple and empty sessions selftests/liveupdate: add simple kexec-based selftest for LUO selftests/liveupdate: add userspace API selftests docs: add documentation for memfd preservation via LUO mm: memfd_luo: allow preserving memfd liveupdate: luo_file: add private argument to store runtime state mm: shmem: export some functions to internal.h ...
