For testing the functionality of the vDSO, it is necessary to build
userspace programs for multiple different architectures.
It is additional work to acquire matching userspace cross-compilers with
full C libraries and then building root images out of those.
The kernel tree already contains nolibc, a small, header-only C library.
By using it, it is possible to build userspace programs without any
additional dependencies.
For example the kernel.org crosstools or multi-target clang can be used
to build test programs for a multitude of architectures.
While nolibc is very limited, it is enough for many selftests.
With some minor adjustments it is possible to make parse_vdso.c
compatible with nolibc.
As an example, vdso_standalone_test_x86 is now built from the same C
code as the regular vdso_test_gettimeofday, while still being completely
standalone.
Also drop the dependency of parse_vdso.c on the elf.h header from libc and only
use the one from the kernel's UAPI.
While this series is useful on its own now, it will also integrate with the
kunit UAPI framework currently under development:

This patchset refactors non-composite global variables into a common
struct that can be initialized and passed around per-test instead of
relying on the presence of global variables.
This allows:
- Better encapsulation
- Debugging becomes easier -- local variable state can be viewed per
stack frame, and we can more easily reason about the variable
mutations
Patch 1 needs to be applied first and can be followed by any of the
other patches.
I've ensured that the tests are passing locally (or atleast have the
same output as the code on master).

2.20.1
With joint effort from the upstream KVM community, we come up with the
4th version of mediated vPMU for x86. We have made the following changes
on top of the previous RFC v3.
v3 -> v4
- Rebase whole patchset on 6.14-rc3 base.
- Address Peter's comments on Perf part.
- Address Sean's comments on KVM part.
* Change key word "passthrough" to "mediated" in all patches
* Change static enabling to user space dynamic enabling via KVM_CAP_PMU_CAPABILITY.
* Only support GLOBAL_CTRL save/restore with VMCS exec_ctrl, drop the MSR
save/retore list support for GLOBAL_CTRL, thus the support of mediated
vPMU is constrained to SapphireRapids and later CPUs on Intel side.
* Merge some small changes into a single patch.
- Address Sandipan's comment on invalid pmu pointer.
- Add back "eventsel_hw" and "fixed_ctr_ctrl_hw" to avoid to directly
manipulate pmc->eventsel and pmu->fixed_ctr_ctrl.
Testing (Intel side):
- Perf-based legacy vPMU (force emulation on/off)
* Kselftests pmu_counters_test, pmu_event_filter_test and
vmx_pmu_caps_test pass.
* KUT PMU tests pmu, pmu_lbr, pmu_pebs pass.
* Basic perf counting/sampling tests in 3 scenarios, guest-only,
host-only and host-guest coexistence all pass.
- Mediated vPMU (force emulation on/off)
* Kselftests pmu_counters_test, pmu_event_filter_test and
vmx_pmu_caps_test pass.
* KUT PMU tests pmu, pmu_lbr, pmu_pebs pass.
* Basic perf counting/sampling tests in 3 scenarios, guest-only,
host-only and host-guest coexistence all pass.
- Failures. All above tests passed on Intel Granite Rapids as well
except a failure on KUT/pmu_pebs.
* GP counter 0 (0xfffffffffffe): PEBS record (written seq 0)
is verified (including size, counters and cfg).
* The pebs_data_cfg (0xb500000000) doesn't match with the
effective MSR_PEBS_DATA_CFG (0x0).
* This failure has nothing to do with this mediated vPMU patch set. The
failure is caused by Granite Rapids supported timed PEBS which needs
extra support on Qemu and KUT/pmu_pebs. These extra support would be
sent in separate patches later.
Testing (AMD side):
- Kselftests pmu_counters_test, pmu_event_filter_test and
vmx_pmu_caps_test all pass
- legacy guest with KUT/pmu:
* qmeu option: -cpu host, -perfctr-core
* when set force_emulation_prefix=1, passes
* when set force_emulation_prefix=0, passes
- perfmon-v1 guest with KUT/pmu:
* qmeu option: -cpu host, -perfmon-v2
* when set force_emulation_prefix=1, passes
* when set force_emulation_prefix=0, passes
- perfmon-v2 guest with KUT/pmu:
* qmeu option: -cpu host
* when set force_emulation_prefix=1, passes
* when set force_emulation_prefix=0, passes
- perf_fuzzer (perfmon-v2):
* fails with soft lockup in guest in current version.
* culprit could be between 6.13 ~ 6.14-rc3 within KVM
* Series tested on 6.12 and 6.13 without issue.
Note: a QEMU series is needed to run mediated vPMU v4:

2.49.0.395.g12beb8f557-goog
This patch series makes the selftest work with NV enabled. The guest code
is run in vEL2 instead of EL1. We add a command line option to enable
testing of NV. The NV tests are disabled by default.
Modified around 12 selftests in this series.
Changes since v1:
- Updated NV helper functions as per comments [1].
- Modified existing testscases to run guest code in vEL2.

2.48.1
This is the second version of a series that lets us run VMware
Workstation on Linux on top of KVM.
The most significant change in this series is the introduction of
CONFIG_KVM_VMWARE which is, in general, a nice cleanup for various
bits of VMware compatibility code that have been scattered around KVM.
(first patch)
The rest of the series builds upon the VMware platform to implement
features that are needed to run VMware guests without any
modifications on top of KVM:
- ability to turn on the VMware backdoor at runtime on a per-vm basis
(used to be a kernel boot argument only)
- support for VMware hypercalls - VMware products have a huge
collection of hypercalls, all of which are handled in userspace,
- support for handling legacy VMware backdoor in L0 in nested configs
- in cases where we have WS running a Windows VBS guest, the L0 would
be KVM, L1 Hyper-V so by default VMware Tools backdoor calls endup in
Hyper-V which can not handle them, so introduce a cap to let L0 handle
those.
The final change in the series is a kselftest of the VMware hypercall
functionality.

2.48.1
I'd like to cut down the memory usage of parsing vmlinux BTF in ebpf-go.
With some upcoming changes the library is sitting at 5MiB for a parse.
Most of that memory is simply copying the BTF blob into user space.
By allowing vmlinux BTF to be mmapped read-only into user space I can
cut memory usage by about 75%.

NOTE: I'm leaving Daynix Computing Ltd., for which I worked on this
patch series, by the end of this month.
While net-next is closed, this is the last chance for me to send another
version so let me send the local changes now.
Please contact Yuri Benditovich, who is CCed on this email, for anything
about this series.
virtio-net have two usage of hashes: one is RSS and another is hash
reporting. Conventionally the hash calculation was done by the VMM.
However, computing the hash after the queue was chosen defeats the
purpose of RSS.
Another approach is to use eBPF steering program. This approach has
another downside: it cannot report the calculated hash due to the
restrictive nature of eBPF.
Introduce the code to compute hashes to the kernel in order to overcome
thse challenges.
An alternative solution is to extend the eBPF steering program so that it
will be able to report to the userspace, but it is based on context
rewrites, which is in feature freeze. We can adopt kfuncs, but they will
not be UAPIs. We opt to ioctl to align with other relevant UAPIs (KVM
and vhost_net).
The patches for QEMU to use this new feature was submitted as RFC and
is available at:
https://patchew.org/QEMU/20250530-hash-v5-0-343d7d7a8200@daynix.com/

- Split common code and TUN/TAP-specific code into separate patches.
- Reverted a spurious style change in patch "tun: Introduce virtio-net
hash feature".
- Added a comment explaining disable_ipv6 in tests.
- Used AF_PACKET for patch "selftest: tun: Add tests for
virtio-net hashing". I also added the usage of FIXTURE_VARIANT() as
the testing function now needs access to more variant-specific
variables.
- Corrected the message of patch "selftest: tun: Add tests for
virtio-net hashing"; it mentioned validation of configuration but
it is not scope of this patch.
- Expanded the description of patch "selftest: tun: Add tests for
virtio-net hashing".
- Added patch "tun: Allow steering eBPF program to fall back".
- Changed to handle TUNGETVNETHASHCAP before taking the rtnl lock.
- Removed redundant tests for tun_vnet_ioctl().
- Added patch "selftest: tap: Add tests for virtio-net ioctls".
- Added a design explanation of ioctls for extensibility and migration.
- Removed a few branches in patch
"vhost/net: Support VIRTIO_NET_F_HASH_REPORT".
- Link to v9: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250307-rss-v9-0-df76624025eb@daynix.com
Changes in v9:
- Added a missing return statement in patch
"tun: Introduce virtio-net hash feature".
- Link to v8: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250306-rss-v8-0-7ab4f56ff423@daynix.com
Changes in v8:
- Disabled IPv6 to eliminate noises in tests.
- Added a branch in tap to avoid unnecessary dissection when hash
reporting is disabled.
- Removed unnecessary rtnl_lock().
- Extracted code to handle new ioctls into separate functions to avoid
adding extra NULL checks to the code handling other ioctls.
- Introduced variable named "fd" to __tun_chr_ioctl().
- s/-/=/g in a patch message to avoid confusing Git.
- Link to v7: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250228-rss-v7-0-844205cbbdd6@daynix.com
Changes in v7:
- Ensured to set hash_report to VIRTIO_NET_HASH_REPORT_NONE for
VHOST_NET_F_VIRTIO_NET_HDR.
- s/4/sizeof(u32)/ in patch "virtio_net: Add functions for hashing".
- Added tap_skb_cb type.
- Rebased.
- Link to v6: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250109-rss-v6-0-b1c90ad708f6@daynix.com
Changes in v6:
- Extracted changes to fill vnet header holes into another series.
- Squashed patches "skbuff: Introduce SKB_EXT_TUN_VNET_HASH", "tun:
Introduce virtio-net hash reporting feature", and "tun: Introduce
virtio-net RSS" into patch "tun: Introduce virtio-net hash feature".
- Dropped the RFC tag.
- Link to v5: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241008-rss-v5-0-f3cf68df005d@daynix.com
Changes in v5:
- Fixed a compilation error with CONFIG_TUN_VNET_CROSS_LE.
- Optimized the calculation of the hash value according to:
https://git.dpdk.org/dpdk/commit/?id=3fb1ea032bd6ff8317af5dac9af901f1f324ca…
- Added patch "tun: Unify vnet implementation".
- Dropped patch "tap: Pad virtio header with zero".
- Added patch "selftest: tun: Test vnet ioctls without device".
- Reworked selftests to skip for older kernels.
- Documented the case when the underlying device is deleted and packets
have queue_mapping set by TC.
- Reordered test harness arguments.
- Added code to handle fragmented packets.
- Link to v4: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240924-rss-v4-0-84e932ec0e6c@daynix.com
Changes in v4:
- Moved tun_vnet_hash_ext to if_tun.h.
- Renamed virtio_net_toeplitz() to virtio_net_toeplitz_calc().
- Replaced htons() with cpu_to_be16().
- Changed virtio_net_hash_rss() to return void.
- Reordered variable declarations in virtio_net_hash_rss().
- Removed virtio_net_hdr_v1_hash_from_skb().
- Updated messages of "tap: Pad virtio header with zero" and
"tun: Pad virtio header with zero".
- Fixed vnet_hash allocation size.
- Ensured to free vnet_hash when destructing tun_struct.
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240915-rss-v3-0-c630015db082@daynix.com
Changes in v3:
- Reverted back to add ioctl.
- Split patch "tun: Introduce virtio-net hashing feature" into
"tun: Introduce virtio-net hash reporting feature" and
"tun: Introduce virtio-net RSS".
- Changed to reuse hash values computed for automq instead of performing
RSS hashing when hash reporting is requested but RSS is not.
- Extracted relevant data from struct tun_struct to keep it minimal.
- Added kernel-doc.
- Changed to allow calling TUNGETVNETHASHCAP before TUNSETIFF.
- Initialized num_buffers with 1.
- Added a test case for unclassified packets.
- Fixed error handling in tests.
- Changed tests to verify that the queue index will not overflow.
- Rebased.
