kunit: Pass parameterized test context to generate_params()

2025-08-27T05:36:03+00:00

To enable more complex parameterized testing scenarios, the
generate_params() function needs additional context beyond just
the previously generated parameter. This patch modifies the
generate_params() function signature to include an extra
`struct kunit *test` argument, giving test users access to the
parameterized test context when generating parameters.

The `struct kunit *test` argument was added as the first parameter
to the function signature as it aligns with the convention of other
KUnit functions that accept `struct kunit *test` first. This also
mirrors the "this" or "self" reference found in object-oriented
programming languages.

This patch also modifies xe_pci_live_device_gen_param() in xe_pci.c
and nthreads_gen_params() in kcsan_test.c to reflect this signature
change.

kcsan: test: Initialize dummy variable

2025-07-23T06:51:32+00:00

Newer compiler versions rightfully point out:

 kernel/kcsan/kcsan_test.c:591:41: error: variable 'dummy' is
 uninitialized when passed as a const pointer argument here
 [-Werror,-Wuninitialized-const-pointer]

 1 error generated.

Although this particular test does not care about the value stored in
the dummy atomic variable, let's silence the warning.

kcsan, compiler_types: Introduce __data_racy type qualifier

2024-05-07T18:39:50+00:00

Based on the discussion at [1], it would be helpful to mark certain
variables as explicitly "data racy", which would result in KCSAN not
reporting data races involving any accesses on such variables. To do
that, introduce the __data_racy type qualifier:

	struct foo {
		...
		int __data_racy bar;
		...
	};

In KCSAN-kernels, __data_racy turns into volatile, which KCSAN already
treats specially by considering them "marked". In non-KCSAN kernels the
type qualifier turns into no-op.

The generated code between KCSAN-instrumented kernels and non-KCSAN
kernels is already huge (inserted calls into runtime for every memory
access), so the extra generated code (if any) due to volatile for few
such __data_racy variables are unlikely to have measurable impact on
performance.

bitops: add xor_unlock_is_negative_byte()

2023-10-18T21:34:16+00:00

Replace clear_bit_and_unlock_is_negative_byte() with
xor_unlock_is_negative_byte().  We have a few places that like to lock a
folio, set a flag and unlock it again.  Allow for the possibility of
combining the latter two operations for efficiency.  We are guaranteed
that the caller holds the lock, so it is safe to unlock it with the xor. 
The caller must guarantee that nobody else will set the flag without
holding the lock; it is not safe to do this with the PG_dirty flag, for
example.
