The livepatch kselftests rely on comparing expected and actual output
from such commands as sysctl.  A recent commit in procps-ng v4.0.0 [1]
changed sysctl's output to emit key pathnames like:

  sysctl: setting key "/proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled": Device or resource busy

versus previous dotted output:

  sysctl: setting key "kernel.ftrace_enabled": Device or resource busy

The modification in output was later reverted [2], but since the change
has been tagged in procps-ng v4.0.0, update the livepatch kselftest to
handle either case.

<title>livepatch: Skip livepatch tests if ftrace cannot be configured</title>
<updated>2022-02-23T15:42:00+00:00</updated>

<id>urn:sha1:4327b9eaf8a4ddd2c534e4f4ed7c949cf3d2be1e</id>
<content type='text'>
livepatch has a set of selftests that are used to validate the behavior of
the livepatching subsystem.  One of the testcases in the livepatch
testsuite is test-ftrace.sh, which among other things, validates that
livepatching gracefully fails when ftrace is disabled.  In the event that
ftrace cannot be disabled using 'sysctl kernel.ftrace_enabled=0', the test
will fail later due to it unexpectedly successfully loading the
test_klp_livepatch module.

While the livepatch selftests are careful to remove any of the livepatch
test modules between testcases to avoid this situation, ftrace may still
fail to be disabled if another trace is active on the system that was
enabled with FTRACE_OPS_FL_PERMANENT.  For example, any active BPF programs
that use trampolines will cause this test to fail due to the trampoline
being implemented with register_ftrace_direct().  The following is an
example of such a trace:

tcp_drop (1) R I D      tramp: ftrace_regs_caller+0x0/0x58
(call_direct_funcs+0x0/0x30)
        direct--&gt;bpf_trampoline_6442550536_0+0x0/0x1000

In order to make the test more resilient to system state that is out of its
control, this patch updates set_ftrace_enabled() to detect sysctl failures,
and skip the testrun when appropriate.

<title>selftests/livepatch: Do not check order when using "comm" for dmesg checking</title>

check_result() uses "comm" to check expected results of selftests output
in dmesg. Everything works fine if timestamps in dmesg are unique. If
not, like in this example

[   86.844422] test_klp_callbacks_demo: pre_unpatch_callback: test_klp_callbacks_mod -&gt; [MODULE_STATE_LIVE] Normal state
[   86.844422] livepatch: 'test_klp_callbacks_demo': starting unpatching transition

, "comm" fails with "comm: file 2 is not in sorted order". Suppress the
order checking with --nocheck-order option.

<title>selftests/livepatch: adopt to newer sysctl error format</title>

<content type='text'>
With procfs v3.3.16, the sysctl command doesn't print the set key and
value on error.  This change breaks livepatch selftest test-ftrace.sh,
that tests the interaction of sysctl ftrace_enabled:

Make it work with all sysctl versions using '-q' option.

Explicitly print the final status on success so that it can be verified
in the log. The error message is enough on failure.

BusyBox diff doesn't support the GNU diff '--LTYPE-line-format' options
that were used in the selftests to filter older kernel log messages from
dmesg output.

Use "comm" which is more available in smaller boot environments.

adding a "===== TEST: $test =====" delimiter when each individual test
begins.

<title>selftests/livepatch: refine dmesg 'taints' in dmesg comparison</title>

The livepatch selftests currently grep on "taints" to filter out
"tainting kernel with TAINT_LIVEPATCH" messages which may be logged when
loading livepatch modules.

Further filter the log to drop "loading out-of-tree module taints
kernel" in the rare case the klp_test modules have been built
out-of-tree.

Look for the longer "taints kernel" or "tainting kernel" strings to
avoid inadvertent partial matching.

<title>selftests/livepatch: Don't clear dmesg when running tests</title>

<content type='text'>
Inspired by commit f131d9edc29d ("selftests/lkdtm: Don't clear dmesg
when running tests"), keep a reference dmesg copy when beginning each
test.  This way check_result() can compare against the initial copy
rather than relying upon an empty log.
