      x86/entry, selftests/x86: Add a test for 32-bit fast syscall arg faults · 5e5c684a
      由 Andy Lutomirski 提交于 
      This test passes on 4.0 and fails on some newer kernels.
Fortunately, the failure is likely not a big deal.

This test will make sure that we don't break it further (e.g. OOPSing)
as we clean up the entry code and that we eventually fix the
regression.

There's arguably no need to preserve the old ABI here --
anything that makes it into a fast (vDSO) syscall with a bad
stack is about to crash no matter what we do.

      libnvdimm, nfit: handle unarmed dimms, mark namespaces read-only · 58138820
      由 Dan Williams 提交于 
      Upon detection of an unarmed dimm in a region, arrange for descendant
BTT, PMEM, or BLK instances to be read-only.  A dimm is primarily marked
"unarmed" via flags passed by platform firmware (NFIT).

The flags in the NFIT memory device sub-structure indicate the state of
the data on the nvdimm relative to its energy source or last "flush to
persistence".  For the most part there is nothing the driver can do but
advertise the state of these flags in sysfs and emit a message if
firmware indicates that the contents of the device may be corrupted.
However, for the case of ACPI_NFIT_MEM_ARMED, the driver can arrange for
the block devices incorporating that nvdimm to be marked read-only.
This is a safe default as the data is still available and new writes are
held off until the administrator either forces read-write mode, or the
energy source becomes armed.

A 'read_only' attribute is added to REGION devices to allow for
overriding the default read-only policy of all descendant block devices.

      tools/testing/nvdimm: libnvdimm unit test infrastructure · 6bc75619
      由 Dan Williams 提交于 
      'libnvdimm' is the first driver sub-system in the kernel to implement
mocking for unit test coverage.  The nfit_test module gets built as an
external module and arranges for external module replacements of nfit,
libnvdimm, nd_pmem, and nd_blk.  These replacements use the linker
--wrap option to redirect calls to ioremap() + request_mem_region() to
custom defined unit test resources.  The end result is a fully
functional nvdimm_bus, as far as userspace is concerned, but with the
capability to perform otherwise destructive tests on emulated resources.

Q: Why not use QEMU for this emulation?
QEMU is not suitable for unit testing.  QEMU's role is to faithfully
emulate the platform.  A unit test's role is to unfaithfully implement
the platform with the goal of triggering bugs in the corners of the
sub-system implementation.  As bugs are discovered in platforms, or the
sub-system itself, the unit tests are extended to backstop a fix with a
reproducer unit test.

Another problem with QEMU is that it would require coordination of 3
software projects instead of 2 (kernel + libndctl [1]) to maintain and
execute the tests.  The chances for bit rot and the difficulty of
getting the tests running goes up non-linearly the more components
involved.


Q: Why submit this to the kernel tree instead of external modules in
   libndctl?
Simple, to alleviate the same risk that out-of-tree external modules
face.  Updates to drivers/nvdimm/ can be immediately evaluated to see if
they have any impact on tools/testing/nvdimm/.


Q: What are the negative implications of merging this?
It is a unique maintenance burden because the purpose of mocking an
interface to enable a unit test is to purposefully short circuit the
semantics of a routine to enable testing.  For example
__wrap_ioremap_cache() fakes the pmem driver into "ioremap()'ing" a test
resource buffer allocated by dma_alloc_coherent().  The future
maintenance burden hits when someone changes the semantics of
ioremap_cache() and wonders what the implications are for the unit test.

      selftests: add quicktest support · 2278e5ed
      由 Shuah Khan 提交于 
      Add quicktest support to enable users to choose to run
tests that complete in a short time. Choosing this option
excludes tests that take longer time complete e.g: timers.
User can specify quicktest option from kernel top level or
selftests directory.

Kernel top level directory:
make quicktest=1 kselftest

tools/testing/selftests directory:
make quicktest=1 run_tests

      powerpc/tm: Abort syscalls in active transactions · b4b56f9e
      由 Sam bobroff 提交于 
      This patch changes the syscall handler to doom (tabort) active
transactions when a syscall is made and return very early without
performing the syscall and keeping side effects to a minimum (no CPU
accounting or system call tracing is performed). Also included is a
new HWCAP2 bit, PPC_FEATURE2_HTM_NOSC, to indicate this
behaviour to userspace.

Currently, the system call instruction automatically suspends an
active transaction which causes side effects to persist when an active
transaction fails.

This does change the kernel's behaviour, but in a way that was
documented as unsupported.  It doesn't reduce functionality as
syscalls will still be performed after tsuspend; it just requires that
the transaction be explicitly suspended.  It also provides a
consistent interface and makes the behaviour of user code
substantially the same across powerpc and platforms that do not
support suspended transactions (e.g. x86 and s390).

Performance measurements using
http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/null_syscall.c indicate the cost of
a normal (non-aborted) system call increases by about 0.25%.
