The example code uses the variable `ip' but never declares it.
Declare `ip' as a 64bit variable which is the same type as the array
from which it loads its value.

Patch series "kcov: PREEMPT_RT fixup + misc", v2.
The last patch in series is follow-up to address the PREEMPT_RT issue
within in kcov reported by Clark [1]. Patches 1-3 are smaller things that
I noticed while staring at it. Patch 4 is small change which makes
replacement in #5 simpler / more obvious.
[1] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210809155909.333073de@theseus.lan
This patch (of 5):
The first example code has includes at the top, the following two
example share that part. The last example (remote coverage collection)
requires the linux/types.h header file due its __aligned_u64 usage.
Add the linux/types.h to the top most example and a comment that the
header files from above are required as it is done in the second
example.

We have observed that on very large machines with newer CPUs, the static
key/branch switching delay is on the order of milliseconds. This is due
to the required broadcast IPIs, which simply does not scale well to
hundreds of CPUs (cores). If done too frequently, this can adversely
affect tail latencies of various workloads.
One workaround is to increase the sample interval to several seconds,
while decreasing sampled allocation coverage, but the problem still
exists and could still increase tail latencies.
As already noted in the Kconfig help text, there are trade-offs: at
lower sample intervals the dynamic branch results in better performance;
however, at very large sample intervals, the static keys mode can result
in better performance -- careful benchmarking is recommended.
Our initial benchmarking showed that with large enough sample intervals
and workloads stressing the allocator, the static keys mode was slightly
better. Evaluating and observing the possible system-wide side-effects
of the static-key-switching induced broadcast IPIs, however, was a blind
spot (in particular on large machines with 100s of cores).
Therefore, a major downside of the static keys mode is, unfortunately,
that it is hard to predict performance on new system architectures and
topologies, but also making conclusions about performance of new
workloads based on a limited set of benchmarks.
Most distributions will simply select the defaults, while targeting a
large variety of different workloads and system architectures. As such,
the better default is CONFIG_KFENCE_STATIC_KEYS=n, and re-enabling it is
only recommended after careful evaluation.
For reference, on x86-64 the condition in kfence_alloc() generates
exactly
2 instructions in the kmem_cache_alloc() fast-path:
| ...
| cmpl $0x0,0x1a8021c(%rip) # ffffffff82d560d0 <kfence_allocation_gate>
| je ffffffff812d6003 <kmem_cache_alloc+0x243>
| ...
which, given kfence_allocation_gate is infrequently modified, should be
well predicted by most CPUs.

Add a note briefly mentioning the new policy about "skipping currently
covered allocations if pool close to full." Since this has a notable
impact on KFENCE's bug-detection ability on systems with large uptimes,
it is worth pointing out the feature.

Commit 1d71307a6f94 ("kunit: add unit test for filtering suites by
names") introduced the ability to filter which suites we run via glob.
This change extends it so we can also filter individual test cases
inside of suites as well.
This is quite useful when, e.g.
* trying to run just the tests cases you've just added or are working on
* trying to debug issues with test hermeticity
Examples:
$ ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --kunitconfig=lib/kunit '*exec*.parse*'
...

Architectures supported by KASAN_HW_TAGS can provide an asymmetric mode
of execution. On an MTE enabled arm64 hw for example this can be
identified with the asymmetric tagging mode of execution. In particular,
when such a mode is present, the CPU triggers a fault on a tag mismatch
during a load operation and asynchronously updates a register when a tag
mismatch is detected during a store operation.
Extend the KASAN HW execution mode kernel command line parameter to
support asymmetric mode.

--raw_output is nice, but it would be nicer if could show only output
after KUnit tests have started.
So change the flag to allow specifying a string ('kunit').
Make it so `--raw_output` alone will default to `--raw_output=all` and
have the same original behavior.
Drop the small kunit_parser.raw_output() function since it feels wrong
to put it in "kunit_parser.py" when the point of it is to not parse
anything.
E.g.
$ ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --raw_output=kunit

kunit.py currently does not make it possible for users to specify module
parameters (/kernel arguments more generally) unless one directly tweaks
the kunit.py code itself.
This hasn't mattered much so far, but this would make it easier to port
existing tests that expose module parameters over to KUnit and/or let
current KUnit tests take advantage of them.
Tested using an kunit internal parameter:
$ ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --kunitconfig=lib/kunit \
--kernel_args=kunit.filter_glob=kunit_status

Rework atomic.h into permissive.h to better reflect its purpose, and
introduce kcsan_ignore_address() and kcsan_ignore_data_race().
Introduce CONFIG_KCSAN_PERMISSIVE and update the stub functions in
preparation for subsequent changes.
As before, developers who choose to use KCSAN in "strict" mode will see
all data races and are not affected. Furthermore, by relying on the
value-change filter logic for kcsan_ignore_data_race(), even if the
permissive rules are enabled, the opt-outs in report.c:skip_report()
override them (such as for RCU-related functions by default).
The option CONFIG_KCSAN_PERMISSIVE is disabled by default, so that the
documented default behaviour of KCSAN does not change. Instead, like
CONFIG_KCSAN_IGNORE_ATOMICS, the option needs to be explicitly opted in.

Commit b6d5799b0b58 ("kunit: Add 'kunit_shutdown' option") changes KUnit
to call kernel_halt() by default when done testing.
This fixes the issue with not having .gcda files due to not calling
atexit() handlers, and therefore we can stop recommending people
manually tweak UML code.
The need to use older versions of GCC (<=6) remains however, due to
linktime issues, same as before. Note: There also might still be issues
with .gcda files as well in newer versions.

The KUNIT_EXPECT_KASAN_FAIL() macro currently uses KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ() to
compare fail_data.report_expected and fail_data.report_found. This always
gave a somewhat useless error message on failure, but the addition of
extra compile-time checking with READ_ONCE() has caused it to get much
longer, and be truncated before anything useful is displayed.
Instead, just check fail_data.report_found by hand (we've just set
report_expected to 'true'), and print a better failure message with
KUNIT_FAIL(). Because of this, report_expected is no longer used
anywhere, and can be removed.
Beforehand, a failure in:
KUNIT_EXPECT_KASAN_FAIL(test, ((volatile char *)area)[3100]);
would have looked like:
[22:00:34] [FAILED] vmalloc_oob
[22:00:34] # vmalloc_oob: EXPECTATION FAILED at lib/test_kasan.c:991
[22:00:34] Expected ({ do { extern void __compiletime_assert_705(void) __attribute__((__error__("Unsupported access size for {READ,WRITE}_ONCE()."))); if (!((sizeof(fail_data.report_expected) == sizeof(char) || sizeof(fail_data.repp
[22:00:34] not ok 45 - vmalloc_oob
With this change, it instead looks like:
[22:04:04] [FAILED] vmalloc_oob
[22:04:04] # vmalloc_oob: EXPECTATION FAILED at lib/test_kasan.c:993
[22:04:04] KASAN failure expected in "((volatile char *)area)[3100]", but none occurred
[22:04:04] not ok 45 - vmalloc_oob
Also update the example failure in the documentation to reflect this.

The default .kunitconfig file is currently kept in
arch/um/configs/kunit_defconfig, but -- with the impending QEMU patch
-- will no-longer be exclusively used for UML-based kernels.
Move it alongside the other KUnit configs in
tools/testing/kunit/configs, and give it a name which matches the
existing all_tests.config and broken_on_uml.config files.
Also update the Getting Started documentation to point to the new file.

The kunit_tool documentation page was pretty minimal, and a bit
outdated. Update it and flesh it out a bit.
In particular,
- Mention that .kunitconfig is now in the build directory
- Describe the use of --kunitconfig to specify a different config
framgent
- Mention the split functionality (i.e., commands other than 'run')
- Describe --raw_output and kunit.py parse
- Mention the globbing support
- Provide a quick overview of other options, including --build_dir and
--alltests
Note that this does overlap a little with the new running_tips page. I
don't think it's a problem having both: this page is supposed to be a
bit more of a reference, rather than a list of useful tips, so the fact
that they both describe the same features isn't a problem.

This is long overdue.
There are several things that aren't nailed down (in-tree
.kunitconfig's), or partially broken (GCOV on UML), but having them
documented, warts and all, is better than having nothing.
This covers a bunch of the more recent features
* kunit_filter_glob
* kunit.py run --kunitconfig
* slightly more detail on building tests as modules
* CONFIG_KUNIT_DEBUGFS
By my count, the only headline features now not mentioned are the KASAN
integration and KernelCI json output support (kunit.py run --json).
And then it also discusses how to get code coverage reports under UML
and non-UML since this is a question people have repeatedly asked.
Non-UML coverage collection is no different from normal, but we should
probably explicitly call this out.
As for UML, I was able to get it working again with two small hacks.*
E.g. with CONFIG_KUNIT=y && CONFIG_KUNIT_ALL_TESTS=y
Overall coverage rate:
lines......: 15.1% (18294 of 120776 lines)
functions..: 16.8% (1860 of 11050 functions)
Note: this doesn't document --alltests since this is not stable yet.
Hopefully being run more frequently as part of KernelCI will help...
*Using gcc/gcov-6 and not using uml_abort() in os_dump_core().
I've documented these hacks in "Notes" but left TODOs for
brendanhiggins@google.com who tracked down the runtime issue in GCC.
To be clear: these are not issues specific to KUnit, but rather to UML.

While include/linux/bitops.h brings in the BIT() macro, it was moved to
include/linux/bits.h in commit 8bd9cb51daac ("locking/atomics, asm-generic:
Move some macros from <linux/bitops.h> to a new <linux/bits.h> file").
Since that commit BIT() has moved again into include/vdso/bits.h via
commit 3945ff37d2f4 ("linux/bits.h: Extract common header for vDSO").
I think the move to the vDSO header can be considered an implementation
detail, so for now update the checkpatch documentation to recommend use
of include/linux/bits.h.

arm64 uses SP_EL0 to save the current task_struct address. While running
in EL0, SP_EL0 is clobbered by userspace. So if the upper bit is not 1
(not TTBR1), the current address is invalid. This patch checks the upper
bit of SP_EL0, if the upper bit is 1, lx_current() of arm64 will return
the derefrence of current task. Otherwise, lx_current() will tell users
they are running in userspace(EL0).
While arm64 is running in EL0, it is actually pointless to print current
task as the memory of kernel space is not accessible in EL0.

Patch series "scripts/gdb: clarify the platforms supporting lx_current and add arm64 support", v2.
lx_current depends on per_cpu current_task variable which exists on x86
only. so it actually works on x86 only. the 1st patch documents this
clearly; the 2nd patch adds support for arm64.
This patch (of 2):
x86 is the only architecture which has per_cpu current_task:
arch$ git grep current_task | grep -i per_cpu
x86/include/asm/current.h:DECLARE_PER_CPU(struct task_struct *, current_task);
x86/kernel/cpu/common.c:DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct task_struct *, current_task) ____cacheline_aligned =
x86/kernel/cpu/common.c:EXPORT_PER_CPU_SYMBOL(current_task);
x86/kernel/cpu/common.c:DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct task_struct *, current_task) = &init_task;
x86/kernel/cpu/common.c:EXPORT_PER_CPU_SYMBOL(current_task);
x86/kernel/smpboot.c: per_cpu(current_task, cpu) = idle;
On other architectures, lx_current() will lead to a python exception:
(gdb) p $lx_current().pid
Python Exception <class 'gdb.error'> No symbol "current_task" in current context.:
Error occurred in Python: No symbol "current_task" in current context.
To avoid more people struggling and wasting time in other architectures,
document it.
