selftests/powerpc: Retry on host facility unavailable

2019-10-07T16:59:15Z

[ Upstream commit 6652bf6408895b09d31fd4128a1589a1a0672823 ] TM test tm-unavailable must take into account aborts due to host aborting a transactin because of a facility unavailable exception, just like it already does for aborts on reschedules (TM_CAUSE_KVM_RESCHED).

selftests/powerpc: New TM signal self test

2019-01-15T00:17:09Z

A new self test that forces MSR[TS] to be set without calling any TM instruction. This test also tries to cause a page fault at a signal handler, exactly between MSR[TS] set and tm_recheckpoint(), forcing thread->texasr to be rewritten with TEXASR[FS] = 0, which will cause a BUG when tm_recheckpoint() is called. This test is not deterministic, since it is hard to guarantee that the page access will cause a page fault. In order to force more page faults at signal context, the signal handler and the ucontext are being mapped into a MADV_DONTNEED memory chunks. Tests have shown that the bug could be exposed with few interactions in a buggy kernel. This test is configured to loop 5000x, having a good chance to hit the kernel issue in just one run. This self test takes less than two seconds to run. This test uses set/getcontext because the kernel will recheckpoint zeroed structures, causing the test to segfault, which is undesired because the test needs to rerun, so, there is a signal handler for SIGSEGV which will restart the test. v2: Uses the MADV_DONTNEED memory advice v3: Fix memcpy and 32-bits compilation v4: Does not define unused macros Signed-off-by: Breno Leitao Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

selftests/powerpc: Add checks for transactional sigreturn

2018-12-21T03:46:50Z

This is a new test case that creates a signal and starts a suspended transaction inside the signal handler. It returns from the signal handler with the CPU at suspended state, but without setting user context MSR Transaction State (TS) field. The kernel signal handler code should be able to handle this discrepancy instead of crashing. This code could be compiled and used to test 32 and 64-bits signal handlers.

selftests/powerpc: Fix Makefiles for headers_install change

2018-09-28T05:07:45Z

Commit b2d35fa5fc80 ("selftests: add headers_install to lib.mk") introduced a requirement that Makefiles more than one level below the selftests directory need to define top_srcdir, but it didn't update any of the powerpc Makefiles. This broke building all the powerpc selftests with eg: make[1]: Entering directory '/src/linux/tools/testing/selftests/powerpc' BUILD_TARGET=/src/linux/tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/alignment; mkdir -p $BUILD_TARGET; make OUTPUT=$BUILD_TARGET -k -C alignment all make[2]: Entering directory '/src/linux/tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/alignment' ../../lib.mk:20: ../../../../scripts/subarch.include: No such file or directory make[2]: *** No rule to make target '../../../../scripts/subarch.include'. make[2]: Failed to remake makefile '../../../../scripts/subarch.include'. Makefile:38: recipe for target 'alignment' failed Fix it by setting top_srcdir in the affected Makefiles.

selftests/powerpc: Do not fail with reschedule

2018-09-19T11:58:09Z

There are cases where the test is not expecting to have the transaction aborted, but, the test process might have been rescheduled, either in the OS level or by KVM (if it is running on a KVM guest machine). The process reschedule will cause a treclaim/recheckpoint which will cause the transaction to doom, aborting the transaction as soon as the process is rescheduled back to the CPU. This might cause the test to fail, but this is not a failure in essence. If that is the case, TEXASR[FC] is indicated with either TM_CAUSE_RESCHEDULE or TM_CAUSE_KVM_RESCHEDULE for KVM interruptions. In this scenario, ignore these two failures and avoid the whole test to return failure. Signed-off-by: Breno Leitao Reviewed-by: Gustavo Romero Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

powerpc/selftests: Wait all threads to join

2018-09-17T11:17:25Z

Test tm-tmspr might exit before all threads stop executing, because it just waits for the very last thread to join before proceeding/exiting. This patch makes sure that all threads that were created will join before proceeding/exiting. This patch also guarantees that the amount of threads being created is equal to thread_num.

selftests/powerpc: Only run some tests on ppc64le

These tests are currently failing on (some) big endian systems. Until we can fix that, skip them unless we're on ppc64le. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman
