selftests/x86: Add a test to detect infinite SIGTRAP handler loop

2025-06-27T10:07:37+00:00

commit f287822688eeb44ae1cf6ac45701d965efc33218 upstream. When FRED is enabled, if the Trap Flag (TF) is set without an external debugger attached, it can lead to an infinite loop in the SIGTRAP handler. To avoid this, the software event flag in the augmented SS must be cleared, ensuring that no single-step trap remains pending when ERETU completes. This test checks for that specific scenario—verifying whether the kernel correctly prevents an infinite SIGTRAP loop in this edge case when FRED is enabled. The test should _always_ pass with IDT event delivery, thus no need to disable the test even when FRED is not enabled.

selftests/x86/amx: Add a ptrace test

2023-03-30T10:49:21+00:00

commit 62faca1ca10cc84e99ae7f38aa28df2bc945369b upstream. Include a test case to validate the XTILEDATA injection to the target. Also, it ensures the kernel's ability to copy states between different XSAVE formats. Refactor the memcmp() code to be usable for the state validation. Signed-off-by: Chang S.

selftests: x86: Fix incorrect kernel headers search path

2023-03-10T08:34:13+00:00

commit ac5ec90e94fe8eddb4499e51398640fa6a89d657 upstream. 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/x86/corrupt_xstate_header: Use provided __cpuid_count() macro

2022-04-25T21:13:03+00:00

kselftest.h makes the __cpuid_count() macro available to conveniently call the CPUID instruction. Remove the local CPUID wrapper and use __cpuid_count() from kselftest.h instead. __cpuid_count() from kselftest.h is used instead of the macro provided by the compiler since gcc v4.4 (via cpuid.h) because the selftest needs to be supported with gcc v3.2, the minimal required version for stable kernels.

selftests: x86: add 32bit build warnings for SUSE

2022-04-04T19:29:43+00:00

In order to successfully build all these 32bit tests, these 32bit gcc and glibc packages, named gcc-32bit and glibc-devel-static-32bit on SUSE, need to be installed. This patch added this information in warn_32bit_failure. Signed-off-by: Geliang Tang Signed-off-by: Shuah Khan

selftests/x86/amx: Update the ARCH_REQ_XCOMP_PERM test

2022-03-23T20:28:34+00:00

Update the arch_prctl test to check the permission bitmap whether the requested feature is added as expected or not. Every non-dynamic feature that is enabled is permitted already for use. TILECFG is not dynamic feature. Ensure the bit is always on from ARCH_GET_XCOMP_PERM. Signed-off-by: Chang S.

selftests, x86: fix how check_cc.sh is being invoked

2022-03-22T22:57:04+00:00

The $(CC) variable used in Makefiles could contain several arguments such as "ccache gcc". These need to be passed as a single string to check_cc.sh, otherwise only the first argument will be used as the compiler command. Without quotes, the $(CC) variable is passed as distinct arguments which causes the script to fail to build trivial programs. Fix this by adding quotes around $(CC) when calling check_cc.sh to pass the whole string as a single argument to the script even if it has several words such as "ccache gcc".

selftests/x86: Add validity check and allow field splitting

2022-02-17T19:55:17+00:00

Add check to test if CC has a string. CC can have multiple sub-strings like "ccache gcc". Erorr pops up if it is treated as single string and double quotes are used around it. This can be fixed by removing the quotes and not treating CC as a single string.
