selftests: complete kselftest include centralization

2025-11-27T22:24:31+00:00

This follow-up patch completes centralization of kselftest.h and ksefltest_harness.h includes in remaining seltests files, replacing all relative paths with a non-relative paths using shared -I include path in lib.mk Tested with gcc-13.3 and clang-18.1, and cross-compiled successfully on riscv, arm64, x86_64 and powerpc arch.

selftests/pidfd: fixes syscall number defines

2025-03-25T13:59:05+00:00

I had to spend some (a lot;) time to understand why pidfd_info_test (and more) fails with my patch under qemu on my machine ;) Until I applied the patch below. I think it is a bad idea to do the things like #ifndef __NR_clone3 #define __NR_clone3 -1 #endif because this can hide a problem. My working laptop runs Fedora-23 which doesn't have __NR_clone3/etc in /usr/include/. So "make" happily succeeds, but everything fails and it is not clear why.

selftests/clone3: ksft_exit functions do not return

2024-05-06T19:57:20+00:00

After commit f7d5bcd35d42 ("selftests: kselftest: Mark functions that unconditionally call exit() as __noreturn"), ksft_exit_...() functions are marked as __noreturn, which means the return type should not be 'int' but 'void' because they are not returning anything (and never were since exit() has always been called). To facilitate updating the return type of these functions, remove 'return' before the calls to ksft_exit_{pass,fail}(), as __noreturn prevents the compiler from warning that a caller of the ksft_exit functions does not return a value because the program will terminate upon calling these functions. Just removing 'return' would have resulted in !ret ? ksft_exit_pass() : ksft_exit_fail(); so convert that into the more idiomatic if (ret) ksft_exit_fail(); ksft_exit_pass(); Reviewed-by: Muhammad Usama Anjum Reviewed-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Nathan Chancellor Signed-off-by: Shuah Khan

selftests/clone3: Check that the child exited cleanly

2024-05-06T19:57:20+00:00

When the child exits during the clone3() selftest we use WEXITSTATUS() to get the exit status from the process without first checking WIFEXITED() to see if the result will be valid. This can lead to incorrect results, for example if the child exits due to signal. Add a WIFEXTED() check and report any non-standard exit as a failure, using EXIT_FAILURE as the exit status for call_clone3() since we otherwise report 0 or negative errnos.

kselftest/clone3: Make test names for set_tid test stable

2024-05-06T19:57:19+00:00

The test results reported for the clone3_set_tid tests interact poorly with automation for running kselftest since the reported test names include TIDs dynamically allocated at runtime. A lot of automation for running kselftest will compare runs by looking at the test name to identify if the same test is being run so changing names make it look like the testsuite has been updated to include new tests. This makes the results display less clearly and breaks cases like bisection. Address this by providing a brief description of the tests and logging that along with the stable parameters for the test currently logged. The TIDs are already logged separately in existing logging except for the final test which has a new log message added. We also tweak the formatting of the logging of expected/actual values for clarity. There are still issues with the logging of skipped tests (many are simply not logged at all when skipped and all are logged with different names) but these are less disruptive since the skips are all based on not being run as root, a condition likely to be stable for a given test system.

selftests/clone3: Report descriptive test names

2023-10-18T20:33:44+00:00

The clone3() selftests currently report test results in a format that does not mesh entirely well with automation. They log output for each test such as: # [1382411] Trying clone3() with flags 0 (size 0) # I am the parent (1382411). My child's pid is 1382412 # I am the child, my PID is 1382412 # [1382411] clone3() with flags says: 0 expected 0 ok 1 [1382411] Result (0) matches expectation (0) This is not ideal for automated parsers since the text after the "ok 1" is treated as the test name when comparing runs by a lot of automation (tests routinely get renumbered due to things like new tests being added based on logical groupings). The PID means that the test names will frequently vary and the rest of the name being a description of results means several tests have identical text there. Address this by refactoring things so that we have a static descriptive name for each test which we use when logging passes, failures and skips and since we now have a stable name for the test to hand log that before starting the test to address the common issue reading logs where the test name is only printed after any diagnostics. The result is: # Running test 'simple clone3()' # [1562777] Trying clone3() with flags 0 (size 0) # I am the parent (1562777). My child's pid is 1562778 # I am the child, my PID is 1562778 # [1562777] clone3() with flags says: 0 expected 0 ok 1 simple clone3() In order to handle skips a bit more neatly this is done in a moderately invasive fashion where we move from a sequence of function calls to having an array of test parameters. This hopefully also makes it a little easier to see what the tests are doing when looking at both the source and the logs. Signed-off-by: Mark Brown Signed-off-by: Shuah Khan
