selftests/powerpc: Add automatically allocating read_file

2023-02-09T12:56:45+00:00

A couple of tests roll their own auto-allocating file read logic. Add a generic implementation and convert them to use it. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Gray Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230203003947.38033-6-bgray@linux.ibm.com

selftests/powerpc: Add {read,write}_{long,ulong}

2023-02-09T12:56:45+00:00

Add helper functions to read and write (unsigned) long values directly from/to files. One of the kernel interfaces uses hex strings, so we need to allow passing a base too.

selftests/powerpc: Parse long/unsigned long value safely

2023-02-09T12:56:45+00:00

Often a file is expected to hold an integral value. Existing functions will use a C stdlib function like atoi or strtol to parse the file. These operations are error prone, with complicated error conditions (atoi returns 0 if not a number, and is undefined behaviour if not in range. strtol returns 0 if not a number, and LONG_MIN/MAX if not in range + sets errno to ERANGE).

selftests/powerpc: Add read/write debugfs file, int

2023-02-09T12:56:45+00:00

Debugfs files are not always integers, so make *_file return/write a byte buffer, and *_int deal with int values specifically. This increases consistency with the other file read/write helpers.

selftests/powerpc: Add generic read/write file util

2023-02-09T12:56:45+00:00

File read/write is reimplemented in about 5 different ways in the various PowerPC selftests. This indicates it should be a common util. Add a common read_file / write_file implementation and convert users to it where (easily) possible.

selftests/powerpc: Add support to fetch "platform" and "base platform" from auxv to detect platform.

2022-06-28T13:56:46+00:00

The /proc/self/auxv contains information about "platform" on any system. Also "base platform" which is an indication about platform string corresponding to the real PVR. When systems are booted in compat mode, say, power10 booted in power9 mode, "platform" will point to power9 whereas base platform will point to power10. Incase, if the distro doesn't support platform indicated by real PVR, base platform will have a default value. The mismatch of platform/base platform is an indication of system booted in compat mode. In such cases, distro will have a Generic Compat registered which supports basic features for performance monitoring. Some of the selftest needs to be handled differently ( ex: generic events, alternative events, bhrb filter map) in Generic Compat PMU. Hence selftest framework needs utility functions to identify such cases. One way is make sure of auxv information. Below condition can be used to detect if Generic Compat PMU is registered. ie: if ((AT_PLATFORM != AT_BASE_PLATFORM) && (AT_BASE_PLATFORM != PVR)) this indicates Generic Compat PMU. Add utility function in "include/utils.h" to return: AT_PLATFORM and AT_BASE_PLATFORM from auxv. Also update misc.c in "sampling_tests" folder to add function to use above check to determine presence of generic compat pmu. In other architecture ( like x86 ), pmu_name is exposed via "/sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/caps". The same could be used in powerpc in future. Since currently we don't have the "caps" support in powerpc, patch uses auxv information to detect platform type and compat mode. But as placeholder utility function is added considering possiblity of getting "caps" information via sysfs. If that doesn't exist, fallback to using auxv information.

selftests/powerpc: Add matrix multiply assist (MMA) test

selftests/powerpc: refactor entry and rfi_flush tests

2020-11-19T12:47:23+00:00

For simplicity in backporting, the original entry_flush test contained a lot of duplicated code from the rfi_flush test. De-duplicate that code. Signed-off-by: Daniel Axtens Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

selftests/powerpc: Include asm/cputable.h from utils.h

2020-09-08T12:23:59+00:00

utils.h provides have_hwcap() and have_hwcap2() which check for a feature bit. Those bits are defined in asm/cputable.h, so include it in utils.h so users of utils.h don't have to do it manually.

selftests/powerpc: Move set_dscr() into rfi_flush.c

2020-09-08T12:23:57+00:00

This version of set_dscr() was added for the RFI flush test, and is fairly specific to it. It also clashes with the version of set_dscr() in dscr/dscr.h. So move it into the RFI flush test where it's used. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200819015727.1977134-3-mpe@ellerman.id.au
