selftests/powerpc: entry flush test

2020-11-22T09:14:11+00:00

commit 89a83a0c69c81a25ce91002b90ca27ed86132a0a upstream. Add a test modelled on the RFI flush test which counts the number of L1D misses doing a simple syscall with the entry flush on and off. For simplicity of backporting, this test duplicates a lot of code from the upstream rfi_flush. This is cleaned up upstream, but we don't clean it up here because it would involve bringing in even more commits. Signed-off-by: Daniel Axtens Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

selftests/powerpc: rfi_flush: disable entry flush if present

2020-11-22T09:14:10+00:00

commit fcb48454c23c5679d1a2e252f127642e91b05cbe upstream. We are about to add an entry flush. The rfi (exit) flush test measures the number of L1D flushes over a syscall with the RFI flush enabled and disabled. But if the entry flush is also enabled, the effect of enabling and disabling the RFI flush is masked. If there is a debugfs entry for the entry flush, disable it during the RFI flush and restore it later.

selftests/powerpc: Ignore generated files

2019-08-22T13:12:47+00:00

Currently some binary files which are generated when tests are compiled are not ignored by git, so 'git status' catch them. For copyloops test, fix wrong binary names already in .gitignore. For ptrace, security, and stringloops tests add missing binary names to the .gitignore file.

selftests: powerpc: Fix warning for security subdir

2018-10-31T03:36:33+00:00

typing 'make' inside tools/testing/selftests/powerpc gave a build warning: BUILD_TARGET=tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/security; mkdir -p $BUILD_TARGET; make OUTPUT=$BUILD_TARGET -k -C security all make[1]: Entering directory 'tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/security' ../../lib.mk:20: ../../../../scripts/subarch.include: No such file or directory make[1]: *** No rule to make target '../../../../scripts/subarch.include'. make[1]: Failed to remake makefile '../../../../scripts/subarch.include'. The build is one level deeper than lib.mk thinks it is. Set top_srcdir to set things straight. Note that the test program is still built. Signed-off-by: Joel Stanley Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

selftests/powerpc: Relax L1d miss targets for rfi_flush test

2018-10-30T12:11:04+00:00

When running the rfi_flush test, if the system is loaded, we see two issues: 1. The L1d misses when rfi_flush is disabled increase significantly due to other workloads interfering with the cache. 2. The L1d misses when rfi_flush is enabled sometimes goes slightly below the expected number of misses. To address these, let's relax the expected number of L1d misses: 1. When rfi_flush is disabled, we allow upto half the expected number of the misses for when rfi_flush is enabled. 2. When rfi_flush is enabled, we allow ~1% lower number of cache misses.

selftests/powerpc: Add test to verify rfi flush across a system call

2018-10-20T02:26:47+00:00

This adds a test to verify proper functioning of the rfi flush capability implemented to mitigate meltdown. The test works by measuring the number of L1d cache misses encountered while loading data from memory. Across a system call, since the L1d cache is flushed when rfi_flush is enabled, the number of cache misses is expected to be relative to the number of cachelines corresponding to the data being loaded. The current system setting is reflected via powerpc/rfi_flush under debugfs (assumed to be /sys/kernel/debug/). This test verifies the expected result with rfi_flush enabled as well as when it is disabled. Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman Signed-off-by: Naveen N.
