selftests/powerpc: Suppress -Wmaybe-uninitialized with GCC 15

2026-05-23T11:08:36+00:00

[ Upstream commit 6e65886fceb23605eff952d6b1975737b4c4b154 ] GCC 15 reports the below false positive '-Wmaybe-uninitialized' warning in vphn_unpack_associativity() when building the powerpc selftests. # make -C tools/testing/selftests TARGETS="powerpc" [...] CC test-vphn In file included from test-vphn.c:3: In function ‘vphn_unpack_associativity’, inlined from ‘test_one’ at test-vphn.c:371:2, inlined from ‘test_vphn’ at test-vphn.c:399:9: test-vphn.c:10:33: error: ‘be_packed’ may be used uninitialized [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] 10 | #define be16_to_cpup(x) bswap_16(*x) | ^~~~~~~~ vphn.c:42:27: note: in expansion of macro ‘be16_to_cpup’ 42 | u16 new = be16_to_cpup(field++); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~ In file included from test-vphn.c:19: vphn.c: In function ‘test_vphn’: vphn.c:27:16: note: ‘be_packed’ declared here 27 | __be64 be_packed[VPHN_REGISTER_COUNT]; | ^~~~~~~~~ cc1: all warnings being treated as errors When vphn_unpack_associativity() is called from hcall_vphn() in kernel the error is not seen while building vphn.c during kernel compilation. This is because the top level Makefile includes '-fno-strict-aliasing' flag always. The issue here is that GCC 15 emits '-Wmaybe-uninitialized' due to type punning between __be64[] and __b16* when accessing the buffer via be16_to_cpup(). The underlying object is fully initialized but GCC 15 fails to track the aliasing due to the strict aliasing violation here. Please refer [1] and [2]. This results in a false positive warning which is promoted to an error under '-Werror'. This problem is not seen when the compilation is performed with GCC 13 and 14. An issue [1] has also been created on GCC bugzilla. The selftest compiles fine with '-fno-strict-aliasing'. Since this GCC flag is used to compile vphn.c in kernel too, the same flag should be used to build vphn tests when compiling vphn.c in the selftest as well. Fix this by including '-fno-strict-aliasing' during vphn.c compilation in the selftest. This keeps the build working while limiting the scope of the suppression to building vphn tests.

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.
