selftests/powerpc: Add test of fork with mapping above 512TB

2019-07-21T07:01:55Z

[ Upstream commit 16391bfc862342f285195013b73c1394fab28b97 ] This tests that when a process with a mapping above 512TB forks we correctly separate the parent and child address spaces. This exercises the bug in the context id handling fixed in the previous commit. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

powerpc/selftest: fix type of mftb() in null_syscall

2019-02-21T13:10:15Z

All callers of mftb() expect 'unsigned long', and the function itself only returns lower part of the TB so it really is 'unsigned long' not 'unsigned long long' Signed-off-by: Christophe Leroy Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

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: Skip test instead of failing

2018-11-25T06:11:22Z

Current core-pkey selftest fails if the test runs without privileges to write into the core pattern file (/proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern). This causes the test to fail and give the impression that the subsystem being tested is broken, when, in fact, the test is being executed without the proper privileges. This is the current error: test: core_pkey tags: git_version:v4.19-3-g9e3363be9bce-dirty Error writing to core_pattern file: Permission denied failure: core_pkey This patch simply skips this test if it runs without the proper privileges, avoiding this undesired failure.

selftests/powerpc: Create a new SKIP_IF macro

2018-11-25T06:11:22Z

This patch creates a new macro that skips a test and prints a message to stderr. This is useful to give an idea why the tests is being skipped, other than just skipping the test blindly. Signed-off-by: Breno Leitao Reviewed-by: Thiago Jung Bauermann Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

selftests/powerpc: Allocate base registers

2018-11-25T06:11:21Z

Some ptrace selftests are passing input operands using a constraint that can allocate any register for the operand, and using these registers on load/store operations. If the register allocated by the compiler happens to be zero (r0), it might cause an invalid memory address access, since load and store operations consider the content of 0x0 address if the base register is r0, instead of the content of the r0 register. For example: r1 := 0xdeadbeef r0 := 0xdeadbeef ld r2, 0(1) /* will load into r2 the content of r1 address */ ld r2, 0(0) /* will load into r2 the content of 0x0 */ In order to avoid this possible problem, the inline assembly constraint should be aware that these registers will be used as a base register, thus, r0 should not be allocated. Other than that, this patch removes inline assembly operands that are not used by the tests. Signed-off-by: Breno Leitao Reviewed-by: Segher Boessenkool Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

selftests/powerpc: Adjust wild_bctr to build with old binutils

2018-11-15T12:05:17Z

Currently the selftest wild_bctr can fail to build when an old gcc is used, notably on gcc using a binutils version <= 2.27, because the assembler does not support the integer suffix UL. This patch adjusts the wild_bctr test so the REG_POISON value is still treated as an unsigned long for the shifts on compilation but the UL suffix is absent on the stringification, so the inline asm code generated has no UL suffixes.

selftests/powerpc: Fix wild_bctr test to work on ppc64

2018-11-12T03:47:54Z

The selftest I recently added to test branching to an out-of-bounds NIP doesn't work on 64-bit big endian. It does fail but not in the right way. That is it SEGVs trying to load from the opd at BAD_NIP, but it never gets as far as branching to BAD_NIP. To fix it we need to create an opd which is reachable but which holds the bad address.
