KVM: selftests: Use u32 instead of uint32_t

2026-04-20T21:54:16+00:00

Use u32 instead of uint32_t to make the KVM selftests code more concise and more similar to the kernel (since selftests are primarily developed by kernel developers). This commit was generated with the following command: git ls-files tools/testing/selftests/kvm | xargs sed -i 's/uint32_t/u32/g' Then by manually adjusting whitespace to make checkpatch.pl happy.

This commit was generated with the following command: git ls-files tools/testing/selftests/kvm | xargs sed -i 's/uint64_t/u64/g' Then by manually adjusting whitespace to make checkpatch.pl happy. Include in include/kvm_util_types.h, iinclude/test_util.h, and include/x86/pmu.h to pick up the tools-defined u64. Arguably, all headers (especially kvm_util_types.h) should have already been including stdint.h to get uint64_t from the libc headers, but the missing dependency only rears its head once KVM uses u64 instead of uint64_t. No functional change intended.

KVM: selftests: Add wrapper macro to handle and assert on expected SIGBUS

2025-10-10T21:25:29+00:00

Extract the guest_memfd test's SIGBUS handling functionality into a common TEST_EXPECT_SIGBUS() macro in anticipation of adding more SIGBUS testcases. Eating a SIGBUS isn't terrible difficult, but it requires a non-trivial amount of boilerplate code, and using a macro allows selftests to print out the exact action that failed to generate a SIGBUS without the developer needing to remember to add a useful error message. Explicitly mark the SIGBUS handler as "used", as gcc-14 at least likes to discard the function before linking. Opportunistically use TEST_FAIL(...) instead of TEST_ASSERT(false, ...), and fix the write path of the guest_memfd test to use the local "val" instead of hardcoding the literal value a second time.

KVM: selftests: Extract guts of THP accessor to standalone sysfs helpers

2025-05-16T16:35:26+00:00

Extract the guts of thp_configured() and get_trans_hugepagesz() to standalone helpers so that the core logic can be reused for other sysfs files, e.g. to query numa_balancing. Opportunistically assert that the initial fscanf() read at least one byte, and add a comment explaining the second call to fscanf().

KVM: selftests: Define _GNU_SOURCE for all selftests code

2024-04-29T19:49:10+00:00

Define _GNU_SOURCE is the base CFLAGS instead of relying on selftests to manually #define _GNU_SOURCE, which is repetitive and error prone. E.g. kselftest_harness.h requires _GNU_SOURCE for asprintf(), but if a selftest includes kvm_test_harness.h after stdio.h, the include guards result in the effective version of stdio.h consumed by kvm_test_harness.h not defining asprintf(): In file included from x86_64/fix_hypercall_test.c:12: In file included from include/kvm_test_harness.h:11: ../kselftest_harness.h:1169:2: error: call to undeclared function 'asprintf'; ISO C99 and later do not support implicit function declarations [-Wimplicit-function-declaration] 1169 | asprintf(&test_name, "%s%s%s.%s", f->name, | ^ When including the rseq selftest's "library" code, #undef _GNU_SOURCE so that rseq.c controls whether or not it wants to build with _GNU_SOURCE.

KVM: selftests: Generalize check_clocksource() from kvm_clock_test

2024-02-01T16:58:13+00:00

Several existing x86 selftests need to check that the underlying system clocksource is TSC or based on TSC but every test implements its own check. As a first step towards unification, extract check_clocksource() from kvm_clock_test and split it into two functions: arch-neutral 'sys_get_cur_clocksource()' and x86-specific 'sys_clocksource_is_tsc()'. Fix a couple of pre-existing issues in kvm_clock_test: memory leakage in check_clocksource() and using TEST_ASSERT() instead of TEST_REQUIRE(). The change also makes the test fail when system clocksource can't be read from sysfs.

KVM: selftests: Assert that vasprintf() is successful

2023-09-20T16:26:31+00:00

Assert that vasprintf() succeeds as the "returned" string is undefined on failure. Checking the result also eliminates the only warning with default options in KVM selftests, i.e. is the only thing getting in the way of compile with -Werror. lib/test_util.c: In function ‘strdup_printf’: lib/test_util.c:390:9: error: ignoring return value of ‘vasprintf’ declared with attribute ‘warn_unused_result’ [-Werror=unused-result] 390 | vasprintf(&str, fmt, ap); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Don't bother capturing the return value, allegedly vasprintf() can only fail due to a memory allocation failure.

KVM: arm64: selftests: Replace str_with_index with strdup_printf

2023-08-08T16:11:57+00:00

The original author of aarch64/get-reg-list.c (me) was wearing tunnel vision goggles when implementing str_with_index(). There's no reason to have such a special case string function. Instead, take inspiration from glib and implement strdup_printf. The implementation builds on vasprintf() which requires _GNU_SOURCE, but we require _GNU_SOURCE in most files already.
