Hi Alexei and Daniel,
bpf test doesn't build on Linux 5.4 mainline. Do you know what's happening here.

Thanks, Shuah.
The clang __builtin_preserve_access_index() intrinsic is introduced in LLVM9 (which just released last week) and the builtin and other CO-RE features are only supported in LLVM10 (current development branch) with more bug fixes and added features.
I think we should do a feature test for llvm version and only enable these tests when llvm version >= 10.
Andrii, what do you think?

Yes. If new tests depend on a particular llvm revision, the failing the build is a regression. I would like to see older tests that don't have dependency build and run.

So far we haven't made it a requirement as majority of BPF contributors that would run/add tests in here are also on bleeding edge LLVM anyway and other CIs like 0-day bot have simply upgraded their LLVM version from git whenever there was a failure similar to the one here so its ensured that really /all/ test cases are running and nothing would be skipped. There is worry to some degree that CIs just keep sticking to an old compiler since tests "just" pass and regressions wouldn't be caught on new releases for those that are skipped.
That said, for the C based tests, it should actually be straight forward to categorize them based on built-in macros like ...
$ echo | clang -dM -E - [...] #define __clang_major__ 10 #define __clang_minor__ 0 [...]
... given there is now also bpf-gcc, the test matrix gets bigger anyway, so it might be worth rethinking to run the suite multiple times with different major llvm{,gcc} versions at some point to make sure their generated BPF bytecode keeps passing the verifier, and yell loudly if newer features had to be skipped due to lack of recent compiler version. This would be a super set of /just/ skipping tests and improve coverage at the same time.

Sure. Bleeding edge is developer mode. We still have to be concerned about users that might not upgrade quickly.

Probably. Reality is most users will just quit and add bpf to "hard to run category" of tests.

I don't really worry too much about such users at this point, more important is that we have a way to test bpf-gcc and llvm behavior side by side to make sure behavior is consistent and to have some sort of automated CI integration that runs BPF kselftests before we even stare at a patch for review. These are right now the two highest prio items from BPF testing side where we need to get to.

Can't you do it in bpf run-time or during build for dependency? You should be able to handle this as a dependency and let users know at least.

Cristian,
That being said, I definitely want to see this list limited to a few options.
One problem is that if somebody wants to do just a build, there is no option from the main makefile. I have sent support for that a few months ago and the patch didn't got lost it appears. I am working on resending those patches. The same is true for install. I sent in a patch for that a while back and I am going to resend. These will make it easier for users.
I would really want to get to supporting only these options:
These are supported now:
make kselftest make TARGETS=arm64 kselftest (one or more targets)
Replace the following:
make -C tools/testing/selftests/ with
make kselftes_build option from main makefile
Replace this: make -C tools/testing/selftests/ INSTALL_PATH=<install-path> install
with make kselftest_install
That way we can support all the use-cases from the main Makefile

with make kselftest_install
Yes these top level options would be absolutely useful to avoid multiplication of build targets to support and test.
Moreover, currently, since there was a lot of test growing into arm64/ inside subdirs like arm64/signal, I support (still under review in fact) in the arm64/ toplevel makefile the possibility of building/installing by subdirs only, in order to be able to limit what you want to build/install of a TARGET (resulting in quicker devel), issuing something like:
make TARGETS=arm64 SUBTARGETS=signal -C tools/testing/selftests/
if possible, that would be useful if kept functional even in the new schema. I mean being able to still issue:
make TARGETS=arm64 SUBTARGETS=signal kselftes_build
with the SUBTARGETS= or whatever ENV var handling delegated to the lower level makefiles (so not handled by the toplevel, but just let go through)
Cheers
Cristian
That way we can support all the use-cases from the main Makefile

side question, since I'm writing arm64/ tests.
my "build-testcases" following the KSFT docs are:

Cristian,
That being said, I definitely want to see this list limited to a few options.
One problem is that if somebody wants to do just a build, there is no option from the main makefile. I have sent support for that a few months ago and the patch didn't got lost it appears. I am working on resending those patches. The same is true for install. I sent in a patch for that a while back and I am going to resend. These will make it easier for users.
I would really want to get to supporting only these options:
These are supported now:
make kselftest make TARGETS=arm64 kselftest (one or more targets)
Replace the following:
make -C tools/testing/selftests/ with
make kselftes_build option from main makefile
Replace this: make -C tools/testing/selftests/ INSTALL_PATH=<install-path> install
with make kselftest_install

From a user perspective, instead of adding a new SUBTARGETS variable, I would prefer something like the following:
make TARGET=arm64/signal kselftest_build
If you just add a single flat subsidiary namespace, then it doesn't support further increasing the directory depth in the future.

TARGETS is make variable. Adding sub-targets might not be easy without cluttering the selftests main Makefile. I will have to look into it.

I was NOT proposing in fact to introduce handling of SUBTARGETS at the toplevel kselftest Makefile, just not to kill the possibility for interested subsystems to handle it as they wish in their own toplevel subsystem Makefile like in arm64/Makefile in:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kselftest/20190910123111.33478-2-cristian.maru...
(probably better renaming SUBTARGETS->ARM64_SUBTARGETS in the next v7 to avoid name clashing)
Because it's painful from the development perspective not having the possibility to selectively build/install only a subset/subdir of the chosen TARGETS; but it's a very subsystem specific issue and not everybody need it, so I'd let the respective TARGETS subsystems handle it if they want/need.
Thanks
Cristian
