[PATCH v2 0/6] cleanups, fixes, and progress towards avoiding "make headers"

by John Hubbard

Jeff Xu, I apologize for this churn: I was forced to drop your Reviewed-by and Tested-by tags from 2 of the 3 mseal patches, because the __NR_mseal fix is completely different now. Changes since v1: a) Reworked the mseal fix to use the kernel's in-tree unistd*.h files, instead of hacking in a __NR_mseal definition directly. (Thanks to David Hildenbrand for pointing out that this needed to be done.) b) Fixed the subject line of the kvm and mdwe patch. c) Reordered the patches so as to group the mseal changes together. d) ADDED an additional patch, 6/6, to remove various __NR_xx items and checks from the mm selftests. Cover letter, updated for v2: Eventually, once the build succeeds on a sufficiently old distro, the idea is to delete $(KHDR_INCLUDES) from the selftests/mm build, and then after that, from selftests/lib.mk and all of the other selftest builds. For now, this series merely achieves a clean build of selftests/mm on a not-so-old distro: Ubuntu 23.04. In other words, after this series is applied, it is possible to delete $(KHDR_INCLUDES) from selftests/mm/Makefile and the build will still succeed. 1. Add tools/uapi/asm/unistd_[32|x32|64].h files, which include definitions of __NR_mseal, and include them (indirectly) from the files that use __NR_mseal. The new files are copied from ./usr/include/asm, which is how we have agreed to do this sort of thing, see [1]. 2. Add fs.h, similarly created: it was copied directly from a snapshot of ./usr/include/linux/fs.h after running "make headers". 3. Add a few selected prctl.h values that the ksm and mdwe tests require. 4. Factor out some common code from mseal_test.c and seal_elf.c, into a new mseal_helpers.h file. 5. Remove local __NR_* definitions and checks.

[PATCH v2 0/2] unicode: kunit: refactor selftest to kunit tests

by Pedro Orlando

Hey all, We are making these changes as part of a KUnit Hackathon at LKCamp [1]. This patch sets out to refactor fs/unicode/utf8-selftest.c to KUnit tests. The main benefit of this change is that we can leverage KUnit's test suite for quickly compiling and testing the functions in utf8, instead of compiling the kernel and loading the previous utf8-selftest module, as well as adopting a pattern across all kernel tests. The first commit is the refactoring itself from self test into KUnit, which kept the original test logic intact -- maintaining the purpose of the original tests -- with the added benefit of including these tests into the KUnit test suite. The second commit applies the naming style and file path conventions defined on Documentation/dev-tools/kunit/style.rst We appreciate any feedback and suggestions. :) [1] https://lkcamp.dev/about/ Co-developed-by: Pedro Orlando <porlando(a)lkcamp.dev> Signed-off-by: Pedro Orlando <porlando(a)lkcamp.dev> Co-developed-by: Danilo Pereira <dpereira(a)lkcamp.dev> Signed-off-by: Danilo Pereira <dpereira(a)lkcamp.dev> Signed-off-by: Gabriela Bittencourt <gbittencourt(a)lkcamp.dev> Gabriela Bittencourt (2): unicode: kunit: refactor selftest to kunit tests unicode: kunit: change tests filename and path fs/unicode/Kconfig | 5 +- fs/unicode/Makefile | 2 +- fs/unicode/tests/.kunitconfig | 3 + .../{utf8-selftest.c => tests/utf8_kunit.c} | 149 ++++++++---------- 4 files changed, 76 insertions(+), 83 deletions(-) create mode 100644 fs/unicode/tests/.kunitconfig rename fs/unicode/{utf8-selftest.c => tests/utf8_kunit.c} (64%) -- 2.34.1

[RFC PATCH v1 0/1] refactor mseal_test

by jeffxu＠chromium.org

From: Jeff Xu <jeffxu(a)chromium.org> This change creates the initial version of memorysealing.c. The introduction of memorysealing.c, which replaces mseal_test.c and uses the kselftest_harness, aims to initiate a discussion on using the selftest harness for memory sealing tests. Upon approval of this approach, the migration of tests from mseal_test.c to memorysealing.c can be implemented in a step-by-step manner. This tests addresses following feedbacks from previous reviews: 1> Use kselftest_harness instead of custom macro, such as EXPECT_XX, ASSERT_XX, etc. (Lorenzo Stoakes, Mark Brown, etc) [1] 2> Use MAP_FAILED to check the return of mmap (Lorenzo Stoakes). 3> Adding a check for vma size and prot bits. The discussion for this can be found in [2] [3], here is a brief summary: This is to follow up on Pedro’s in-loop change (from can_modify_mm to can_modify_vma). When mseal_test is initially created, they have a common pattern: setup memory layout, seal the memory, perform a few mm-api steps, verify return code (not zero). Because of the nature of out-of-loop, it is sufficient to just verify the error code in a few cases. With Pedro's in-loop change, the sealing check happens later in the stack, thus there are more things and scenarios to verify. And there were feedbacks to me that mseal_test should be extensive enough to discover all regressions. Hence I'm adding check for vma size and prot bits. In this change: we created two fixtures: Fixture basic: This creates a single VMA, the VMA has a PROT_NONE page at each end to prevent auto-merging. Fixture wo_vma: Two VMAs back to end, a PROT_NONE page at each end to prevent auto-merging. In addition, I add one test (mprotec) in each fixture for discussion.

[PATCH v1] kbuild: Allow building of samples with UML

[PATCH RFC net-next v1 0/5] Device memory TCP TX

by Mina Almasry

The TX path had been dropped from the Device Memory TCP patch series post RFCv1 [1], to make that series slightly easier to review. This series rebases the implementation of the TX path on top of the net_iov/netmem framework agreed upon and merged. The motivation for the feature is thoroughly described in the docs & cover letter of the original proposal, so I don't repeat the lengthy descriptions here, but they are available in [1]. Sending this series as RFC as the winder closure is immenient. I plan on reposting as non-RFC once the tree re-opens, addressing any feedback I receive in the meantime. Full outline on usage of the TX path is detailed in the documentation added in the first patch. Test example is available via the kselftest included in the series as well. The series is relatively small, as the TX path for this feature largely piggybacks on the existing MSG_ZEROCOPY implementation. Patch Overview: --------------- 1. Documentation & tests to give high level overview of the feature being added. 2. Add netmem refcounting needed for the TX path. 3. Devmem TX netlink API. 4. Devmem TX net stack implementation. Testing: -------- Testing is very similar to devmem TCP RX path. The ncdevmem test used for the RX path is now augemented with client functionality to test TX path. * Test Setup: Kernel: net-next with this RFC and memory provider API cherry-picked locally. Hardware: Google Cloud A3 VMs. NIC: GVE with header split & RSS & flow steering support. Performance results are not included with this version, unfortunately. I'm having issues running the dma-buf exporter driver against the upstream kernel on my test setup. The issues are specific to that dma-buf exporter and do not affect this patch series. I plan to follow up this series with perf fixes if the tests point to issues once they're up and running. Special thanks to Stan who took a stab at rebasing the TX implementation on top of the netmem/net_iov framework merged. Parts of his proposal [2] that are reused as-is are forked off into their own patches to give full credit.

[PATCH 0/6] KUnit test moves / renames

by David Gow

As discussed in [1], the KUnit test naming scheme has changed to avoid name conflicts (and tab-completion woes) with the files being tested. These renames and moves have caused a nasty set of merge conflicts, so this series collates and rebases them all to be applied via mm-nonmm-unstable alongside any lib/ changes[2]. Thanks to everyone whose patches appear here, and everyone who reviewed on the original series. I hope I didn't break them too much during the rebase!

(To be clear, CR8 based accesses are allowed, but stores cause an exit in order to check the new TPR against IRR. That's because KVM's API does not have an equivalent of the TPR threshold as you point out below). I have not really looked at the code but it seems like it could also simplify things as CR8 would be handled more uniformly regardless of who is virtualizing the local APIC. >> Also I could not find these documented anywhere but with MSFT's APIC our monitor >> relies on extensions for trapping certain events such as INIT/SIPI plus LINT0 >> and SVR writes: >> >> UINT64 X64ApicInitSipiExitTrap : 1; // WHvRunVpExitReasonX64ApicInitSipiTrap >> UINT64 X64ApicWriteLint0ExitTrap : 1; // WHvRunVpExitReasonX64ApicWriteTrap >> UINT64 X64ApicWriteLint1ExitTrap : 1; // WHvRunVpExitReasonX64ApicWriteTrap >> UINT64 X64ApicWriteSvrExitTrap : 1; // WHvRunVpExitReasonX64ApicWriteTrap > > > There's no need for this in KVM's in-kernel APIC model. INIT and SIPI are handled in the hypervisor and you can get the current state of APs via KVM_GET_MPSTATE. LINT0 and LINT1 are injected with KVM_INTERRUPT and KVM_NMI respectively, and they obey IF/PPR and NMI blocking respectively, plus the interrupt shadow; so there's no need for userspace to know when LINT0/LINT1 themselves change. The spurious interrupt vector register is also handled completely in kernel. I realize that KVM can handle LINT0/SVR updates themselves but our interrupt subsystem relies on knowing the current values of these registers even when not virtualizing the local APIC. I suppose we could use KVM_GET_LAPIC to sync things up on demand but that seems like it might nor be great from a performance point of view. >> I did not see any similar functionality for KVM.

Performance of Windows guests is going to be bad anyway with userspace APIC. From what I have seen the exit cost with KVM is significantly lower than with WHP/Hyper-V. I don't think performance of Windows guests with userspace APIC emulation would be bad if CR8 exits could be avoided (Linux guests perf isn't bad from what I have observed and the main difference is the astronomical number of CR8 exits). It seems like it would be pretty decent although I agree if you want the absolute best performance then you would want to use the in kernel APIC to speed up handling of ICR/EOI writes but those are relatively infrequent compared to CR8 accesses . Anyway I just saw Sean's response while writing this and it seems he is not in favor of avoiding CR8 exits w/o the in kernel APIC either so I suppose we will have to look into making use of the in kernel APIC.

[PATCH v11 00/14] riscv: Add support for xtheadvector

by Charlie Jenkins

xtheadvector is a custom extension that is based upon riscv vector version 0.7.1 [1]. All of the vector routines have been modified to support this alternative vector version based upon whether xtheadvector was determined to be supported at boot. vlenb is not supported on the existing xtheadvector hardware, so a devicetree property thead,vlenb is added to provide the vlenb to Linux. There is a new hwprobe key RISCV_HWPROBE_KEY_VENDOR_EXT_THEAD_0 that is used to request which thead vendor extensions are supported on the current platform. This allows future vendors to allocate hwprobe keys for their vendor. Support for xtheadvector is also added to the vector kselftests. Signed-off-by: Charlie Jenkins <charlie(a)rivosinc.com> [1] https://github.com/T-head-Semi/thead-extension-spec/blob/95358cb2cca9489361… --- This series is a continuation of a different series that was fragmented into two other series in an attempt to get part of it merged in the 6.10 merge window. The split-off series did not get merged due to a NAK on the series that added the generic riscv,vlenb devicetree entry. This series has converted riscv,vlenb to thead,vlenb to remedy this issue. The original series is titled "riscv: Support vendor extensions and xtheadvector" [3]. I have tested this with an Allwinner Nezha board. I used SkiffOS [1] to manage building the image, but upgraded the U-Boot version to Samuel Holland's more up-to-date version [2] and changed out the device tree used by U-Boot with the device trees that are present in upstream linux and this series. Thank you Samuel for all of the work you did to make this task possible.
