selftests/x86: Add selftests include path for kselftest.h after centralization

2026-01-17T11:22:27+00:00

The previous change centralizing kselftest.h include path in lib.mk caused x86 selftests to fail, as x86 Makefile overwrites CFLAGS using ":=", dropping the include path added in lib.mk. Therefore, helpers.h could not find kselftest.h during compilation. Fix this by adding the tools/testing/sefltest to CFLAGS in x86 Makefile.

Pull non-MM updates from Andrew Morton: - "panic: sys_info: Refactor and fix a potential issue" (Andy Shevchenko) fixes a build issue and does some cleanup in ib/sys_info.c - "Implement mul_u64_u64_div_u64_roundup()" (David Laight) enhances the 64-bit math code on behalf of a PWM driver and beefs up the test module for these library functions - "scripts/gdb/symbols: make BPF debug info available to GDB" (Ilya Leoshkevich) makes BPF symbol names, sizes, and line numbers available to the GDB debugger - "Enable hung_task and lockup cases to dump system info on demand" (Feng Tang) adds a sysctl which can be used to cause additional info dumping when the hung-task and lockup detectors fire - "lib/base64: add generic encoder/decoder, migrate users" (Kuan-Wei Chiu) adds a general base64 encoder/decoder to lib/ and migrates several users away from their private implementations - "rbree: inline rb_first() and rb_last()" (Eric Dumazet) makes TCP a little faster - "liveupdate: Rework KHO for in-kernel users" (Pasha Tatashin) reworks the KEXEC Handover interfaces in preparation for Live Update Orchestrator (LUO), and possibly for other future clients - "kho: simplify state machine and enable dynamic updates" (Pasha Tatashin) increases the flexibility of KEXEC Handover. Also preparation for LUO - "Live Update Orchestrator" (Pasha Tatashin) is a major new feature targeted at cloud environments. Quoting the cover letter: This series introduces the Live Update Orchestrator, a kernel subsystem designed to facilitate live kernel updates using a kexec-based reboot. This capability is critical for cloud environments, allowing hypervisors to be updated with minimal downtime for running virtual machines. LUO achieves this by preserving the state of selected resources, such as memory, devices and their dependencies, across the kernel transition. As a key feature, this series includes support for preserving memfd file descriptors, which allows critical in-memory data, such as guest RAM or any other large memory region, to be maintained in RAM across the kexec reboot. Mike Rappaport merits a mention here, for his extensive review and testing work. - "kexec: reorganize kexec and kdump sysfs" (Sourabh Jain) moves the kexec and kdump sysfs entries from /sys/kernel/ to /sys/kernel/kexec/ and adds back-compatibility symlinks which can hopefully be removed one day - "kho: fixes for vmalloc restoration" (Mike Rapoport) fixes a BUG which was being hit during KHO restoration of vmalloc() regions * tag 'mm-nonmm-stable-2025-12-06-11-14' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (139 commits) calibrate: update header inclusion Reinstate "resource: avoid unnecessary lookups in find_next_iomem_res()" vmcoreinfo: track and log recoverable hardware errors kho: fix restoring of contiguous ranges of order-0 pages kho: kho_restore_vmalloc: fix initialization of pages array MAINTAINERS: TPM DEVICE DRIVER: update the W-tag init: replace simple_strtoul with kstrtoul to improve lpj_setup KHO: fix boot failure due to kmemleak access to non-PRESENT pages Documentation/ABI: new kexec and kdump sysfs interface Documentation/ABI: mark old kexec sysfs deprecated kexec: move sysfs entries to /sys/kernel/kexec test_kho: always print restore status kho: free chunks using free_page() instead of kfree() selftests/liveupdate: add kexec test for multiple and empty sessions selftests/liveupdate: add simple kexec-based selftest for LUO selftests/liveupdate: add userspace API selftests docs: add documentation for memfd preservation via LUO mm: memfd_luo: allow preserving memfd liveupdate: luo_file: add private argument to store runtime state mm: shmem: export some functions to internal.h ...

This follow-up patch completes centralization of kselftest.h and ksefltest_harness.h includes in remaining seltests files, replacing all relative paths with a non-relative paths using shared -I include path in lib.mk Tested with gcc-13.3 and clang-18.1, and cross-compiled successfully on riscv, arm64, x86_64 and powerpc arch.

selftests/x86: Update the negative vsyscall tests to expect a #GP

2025-11-18T18:38:26+00:00

Some of the vsyscall selftests expect a #PF when vsyscalls are disabled. However, with LASS enabled, an invalid access results in a SIGSEGV due to a #GP instead of a #PF. One such negative test fails because it is expecting X86_PF_INSTR to be set. Update the failing test to expect either a #GP or a #PF. Also, update the printed messages to show the trap number (denoting the type of fault) instead of assuming a #PF.

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

2025-06-09T15:52:06+00:00

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.

selftest/x86/bugs: Add selftests for ITS

2025-05-09T20:39:45+00:00

Below are the tests added for Indirect Target Selection (ITS): - its_sysfs.py - Check if sysfs reflects the correct mitigation status for the mitigation selected via the kernel cmdline. - its_permutations.py - tests mitigation selection with cmdline permutations with other bugs like spectre_v2 and retbleed. - its_indirect_alignment.py - verifies that for addresses in .retpoline_sites section that belong to lower half of cacheline are patched to ITS-safe thunk. Typical output looks like below: Site 49: function symbol: __x64_sys_restart_syscall+0x1f <0xffffffffbb1509af> # vmlinux: 0xffffffff813509af: jmp 0xffffffff81f5a8e0 # kcore: 0xffffffffbb1509af: jmpq *%rax # ITS thunk NOT expected for site 49 # PASSED: Found *%rax # Site 50: function symbol: __resched_curr+0xb0 <0xffffffffbb181910> # vmlinux: 0xffffffff81381910: jmp 0xffffffff81f5a8e0 # kcore: 0xffffffffbb181910: jmp 0xffffffffc02000fc # ITS thunk expected for site 50 # PASSED: Found 0xffffffffc02000fc -> jmpq *%rax - its_ret_alignment.py - verifies that for addresses in .return_sites section that belong to lower half of cacheline are patched to its_return_thunk.
