selftests/powerpc: Detect taint change in mitigation patching test

2024-11-07T11:36:31+00:00

Currently the mitigation patching test errors out if the kernel is tainted prior to the test running. That causes the test to fail unnecessarily if some other test has caused the kernel to be tainted, or if a proprietary or force module is loaded for example. Instead just warn if the kernel is tainted to begin with, and only report a change in the taint state as an error in the test.

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.

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 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: Better reporting in spectre_v2

2022-05-22T05:58:28+00:00

In commit f3054ffd71b5 ("selftests/powerpc: Return skip code for spectre_v2"), the spectre_v2 selftest is updated to be aware of cases where the vulnerability status reported in sysfs is incorrect, skipping the test instead. This happens because qemu can misrepresent the mitigation status of the host to the guest. If the count cache is disabled in the host, and this is correctly reported to the guest, then the guest won't apply mitigations. If the guest is then migrated to a new host where mitigations are necessary, it is now vulnerable because it has not applied mitigations. Update the selftest to report when we see excessive misses, indicative of the count cache being disabled. If software flushing is enabled, also warn that these flushes are just wasting performance.
