selftests/powerpc/ptrace: Update ptrace-perf watchpoint selftest

2023-08-16T13:54:50+00:00

Now that ptrace and perf are no longer exclusive, update the test to exercise interesting interactions. An assembly file is used for the children to allow precise instruction choice and addresses, while avoiding any compiler quirks.

selftests/powerpc/ptrace: Declare test temporary variables as volatile

2023-08-02T12:22:19+00:00

While the target is volatile, the temporary variables used to access the target cast away the volatile. This is undefined behaviour, and a compiler may optimise away/reorder these accesses, breaking the test. This was observed with GCC 13.1.1, but it can be difficult to reproduce because of the dependency on compiler behaviour.

selftests/powerpc/ptrace: Fix typo in pid_max search error

2023-08-02T12:22:19+00:00

pid_max_addr() searches for the 'pid_max' symbol in /proc/kallsyms, and prints an error if it cannot find it. The error message has a typo, calling it pix_max. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Gray Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman Link: https://msgid.link/20230725005841.28854-4-bgray@linux.ibm.com

selftests/powerpc/ptrace: Explain why tests are skipped

2023-08-02T12:22:19+00:00

Many tests require specific hardware features/configurations that a typical machine might not have. As a result, it's common to see a test is skipped. But it is tedious to find out why a test is skipped when all it gives is the file location of the skip macro. Convert SKIP_IF() to SKIP_IF_MSG(), with appropriate descriptions of why the test is being skipped. This gives a general idea of why a test is skipped, which can be looked into further if it doesn't make sense.

selftests/powerpc: Fix incorrect kernel headers search path

2023-02-15T11:41:00+00:00

Use $(KHDR_INCLUDES) as lookup path for kernel headers. This prevents building against kernel headers from the build environment in scenarios where kernel headers are installed into a specific output directory (O=...).

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 ptrace setup_core_pattern() null-terminator

2022-12-02T07:04:27+00:00

- malloc() does not zero the buffer, - fread() does not null-terminate it's output, - `cat /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern | hexdump -C` shows the file is not inherently null-terminated So using string operations on the buffer is risky. Explicitly add a null character to the end to make it safer. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Gray Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20221128041948.58339-3-bgray@linux.ibm.com

selftests/powerpc: Account for offline cpus in perf-hwbreak test

2022-11-30T10:46:47+00:00

For systemwide tests, use online cpu mask to only open events on online cpus. This enables this test to work on systems in lower SMT modes. Signed-off-by: Naveen N.

selftests/powerpc: Bump up rlimit for perf-hwbreak test

2022-11-30T10:46:47+00:00

The systemwide perf hardware breakpoint test tries to open a perf event on each cpu. On large systems, we run out of file descriptors and fail the test. Instead, have the test set the file descriptor limit to an arbitraty high value. Reported-by: Rohan Deshpande Signed-off-by: Naveen N.
