selftests/powerpc: Give all tests 2 minutes timeout

2024-11-07T11:36:30+00:00

Each of the powerpc selftests runs with a timeout of 2 minutes by default (see tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/harness.c). But when tests are run with run_kselftest.sh it uses a timeout of 45 seconds, meaning some tests run OK standalone but fail when run with the test runner. So tell run_kselftest.sh to give each test 130 seconds, that should allow the tests to complete, or be killed by the powerpc test harness after 2 minutes. If for some reason the harness fails, or for the few tests that don't use the harness, the 130 second timeout should catch them if they get stuck.

selftests/powerpc: make sub-folders buildable on their own

2024-04-29T13:54:42+00:00

Build breaks when executing make with run_tests for sub-folders under powerpc. This is because, CFLAGS and GIT_VERSION macros are defined in Makefile of toplevel powerpc folder. make: Entering directory '/home/maddy/linux/tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/mm' gcc hugetlb_vs_thp_test.c ../harness.c ../utils.c -o /home/maddy/selftest_output//hugetlb_vs_thp_test hugetlb_vs_thp_test.c:6:10: fatal error: utils.h: No such file or directory 6 | #include "utils.h" | ^~~~~~~~~ compilation terminated. Fix this by adding the flags.mk in each sub-folder Makefile. Also remove the CFLAGS and GIT_VERSION macros from powerpc/ folder Makefile since the same is definied in flags.mk Signed-off-by: Madhavan Srinivasan Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman Link: https://msgid.link/20240229093711.581230-3-maddy@linux.ibm.com

selftests/powerpc: Re-order *FLAGS to follow lib.mk

2024-04-29T13:51:16+00:00

In some powerpc/ sub-folder Makefiles, CFLAGS are defined before lib.mk include. Clean it up by re-ordering the flags to follow after the mk include. This is needed to support sub-folders in powerpc/ buildable on its own.

powerpc/64s: Move dcbt/dcbtst sequence into a macro

2024-03-03T12:05:21+00:00

There's an almost identical code sequence to specify load/store access hints in __copy_tofrom_user_power7(), copypage_power7() and memcpy_power7(). Move the sequence into a common macro, which is passed the registers to use as they differ slightly. There also needs to be a copy in the selftests, it could be shared in future if the headers are cleaned up / refactored.

powerpc: add CFUNC assembly label annotation

2023-04-20T02:54:24+00:00

This macro is to be used in assembly where C functions are called. pcrel addressing mode requires branches to functions with a localentry value of 1 to have either a trailing nop or @notoc. This macro permits the latter without changing callers.

selftests/powerpc/copyloops: Add memmove_64 test

2022-02-12T11:47:44+00:00

While debugging an issue, we wanted to check whether the arch specific kernel memmove implementation is correct. This selftest could help test that.

x86, powerpc: Rename memcpy_mcsafe() to copy_mc_to_{user, kernel}()

2020-10-06T09:18:04+00:00

In reaction to a proposal to introduce a memcpy_mcsafe_fast() implementation Linus points out that memcpy_mcsafe() is poorly named relative to communicating the scope of the interface. Specifically what addresses are valid to pass as source, destination, and what faults / exceptions are handled. Of particular concern is that even though x86 might be able to handle the semantics of copy_mc_to_user() with its common copy_user_generic() implementation other archs likely need / want an explicit path for this case: On Fri, May 1, 2020 at 11:28 AM Linus Torvalds wrote: > > On Thu, Apr 30, 2020 at 6:21 PM Dan Williams wrote: > > > > However now I see that copy_user_generic() works for the wrong reason. > > It works because the exception on the source address due to poison > > looks no different than a write fault on the user address to the > > caller, it's still just a short copy.

Replace a single top-level memcpy_mcsafe() with either copy_mc_to_user(), or copy_mc_to_kernel(). Introduce an x86 copy_mc_fragile() name as the rename for the low-level x86 implementation formerly named memcpy_mcsafe(). It is used as the slow / careful backend that is supplanted by a fast copy_mc_generic() in a follow-on patch. One side-effect of this reorganization is that separating copy_mc_64.S to its own file means that perf no longer needs to track dependencies for its memcpy_64.S benchmarks.
