commit 22adb528621ddc92f887882a658507fbf88a5214 upstream.

Commit 50910acd6f615 ("selftests/mm: use sys_pkey helpers consistently")
added a pkey_util.c to refactor some of the protection_keys functions
accessible by other tests.  But this broken the build in powerpc in two
ways,

pkey-powerpc.h: In function `arch_is_powervm':
pkey-powerpc.h:73:21: error: storage size of `buf' isn't known
   73 |         struct stat buf;
      |                     ^~~
pkey-powerpc.h:75:14: error: implicit declaration of function `stat'; did you mean `strcat'? [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
   75 |         if ((stat("/sys/firmware/devicetree/base/ibm,partition-name", &amp;buf) == 0) &amp;&amp;
      |              ^~~~
      |              strcat

Since pkey_util.c includes pkeys-helper.h, which in turn includes pkeys-powerpc.h,
stat.h including is missing for "struct stat". This is fixed by adding "sys/stat.h"
in pkeys-powerpc.h

Secondly,

pkey-powerpc.h:55:18: warning: format `%llx' expects argument of type `long long unsigned int', but argument 3 has type `u64' {aka `long unsigned int'} [-Wformat=]
   55 |         dprintf4("%s() changing %016llx to %016llx\n",
      |                  ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   56 |                          __func__, __read_pkey_reg(), pkey_reg);
      |                                    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   63 |                 sigsafe_printf(args);           \
      |                                ^~~~

These format specifier related warning are removed by adding
"__SANE_USERSPACE_TYPES__" to pkeys_utils.c.

commit 8cf6ecb18baac867585fe1cba5dde6dbf3b6d29a upstream.

The compiler is unaware of the size of code generated by the ".rept"
assembler directive.  This results in the compiler emitting branch
instructions where the offset to branch to exceeds the maximum allowed
value, resulting in build failures like the following:

  CC       protection_keys
  /tmp/ccypKWAE.s: Assembler messages:
  /tmp/ccypKWAE.s:2073: Error: operand out of range (0x0000000000020158
  is not between 0xffffffffffff8000 and 0x0000000000007ffc)
  /tmp/ccypKWAE.s:2509: Error: operand out of range (0x0000000000020130
  is not between 0xffffffffffff8000 and 0x0000000000007ffc)

Fix the issue by manually adding nop instructions using the preprocessor.

<title>selftests/mm: compaction_test: support platform with huge mount of memory</title>

commit ab00ddd802f80e31fc9639c652d736fe3913feae upstream.

When running mm selftest to verify mm patches, 'compaction_test' case
failed on an x86 server with 1TB memory.  And the root cause is that it
has too much free memory than what the test supports.

The test case tries to allocate 100000 huge pages, which is about 200 GB
for that x86 server, and when it succeeds, it expects it's large than 1/3
of 80% of the free memory in system.  This logic only works for platform
with 750 GB ( 200 / (1/3) / 80% ) or less free memory, and may raise false
alarm for others.

Fix it by changing the fixed page number to self-adjustable number
according to the real number of free memory.

<title>selftests/mm: generate a temporary mountpoint for cgroup filesystem</title>

commit 9c02223e2d9df5cb37c51aedb78f3960294e09b5 upstream.

Currently if the filesystem for the cgroups version it wants to use is not
mounted charge_reserved_hugetlb.sh and hugetlb_reparenting_test.sh tests
will attempt to mount it on the hard coded path /dev/cgroup/memory,
deleting that directory when the test finishes.  This will fail if there
is not a preexisting directory at that path, and since the directory is
deleted subsequent runs of the test will fail.  Instead of relying on this
hard coded directory name use mktemp to generate a temporary directory to
use as a mountpoint, fixing both the assumption and the disruption caused
by deleting a preexisting directory.

This means that if the relevant cgroup filesystem is not already mounted
then we rely on having coreutils (which provides mktemp) installed.  I
suspect that many current users are relying on having things automounted
by default, and given that the script relies on bash it's probably not an
unreasonable requirement.

We noticed that uffd-stress test was always failing to run when invoked
for the hugetlb profiles on x86_64 systems with a processor count of 64 or
bigger:

  ...
  # ------------------------------------
  # running ./uffd-stress hugetlb 128 32
  # ------------------------------------
  # ERROR: invalid MiB (errno=9, @uffd-stress.c:459)
  ...
  # [FAIL]
  not ok 3 uffd-stress hugetlb 128 32 # exit=1
  ...

The problem boils down to how run_vmtests.sh (mis)calculates the size of
the region it feeds to uffd-stress.  The latter expects to see an amount
of MiB while the former is just giving out the number of free hugepages
halved down.  This measurement discrepancy ends up violating uffd-stress'
assertion on number of hugetlb pages allocated per CPU, causing it to bail
out with the error above.

This commit fixes that issue by adjusting run_vmtests.sh's
half_ufd_size_MB calculation so it properly renders the region size in
MiB, as expected, while maintaining all of its original constraints in
place.

We noticed that uffd-stress test was always failing to run when invoked
for the hugetlb profiles on x86_64 systems with a processor count of 64 or
bigger:

  ...
  # ------------------------------------
  # running ./uffd-stress hugetlb 128 32
  # ------------------------------------
  # ERROR: invalid MiB (errno=9, @uffd-stress.c:459)

  # [FAIL]

<title>Revert "selftests/mm: remove local __NR_* definitions"</title>

<id>0a7565ee6ec31eb16c0476adbfc1af3f2271cb6b</id>
<content type='text'>
This reverts commit a5c6bc590094a1a73cf6fa3f505e1945d2bf2461.

The general approach described in commit e076eaca5906 ("selftests: break
the dependency upon local header files") was taken one step too far here:
it should not have been extended to include the syscall numbers.  This is
because doing so would require per-arch support in tools/include/uapi, and
no such support exists.

This revert fixes two separate reports of test failures, from Dave
Hansen[1], and Li Wang[2].  An excerpt of Dave's report:

Before this commit (a5c6bc590094a1a73cf6fa3f505e1945d2bf2461) things are
fine.  But after, I get:

	running PKEY tests for unsupported CPU/OS

An excerpt of Li's report:

    I just found that mlock2_() return a wrong value in mlock2-test

When testing if we should try to compact memory or drop caches before we
run the THP or HugeTLB tests we use | as an or operator.  This doesn't
work since run_vmtests.sh is written in shell where this is used to pipe
the output of the first argument into the second.  Instead use the shell's
-o operator.

<title>selftests/mm: virtual_address_range: avoid reading from VM_IO mappings</title>

<content type='text'>
The virtual_address_range selftest reads from the start of each mapping
listed in /proc/self/maps.  However not all mappings are valid to be
arbitrarily accessed.

For example the vvar data used for virtual clocks on x86 [vvar_vclock] can
only be accessed if 1) the kernel configuration enables virtual clocks and
2) the hypervisor provided the data for it.  Only the VDSO itself has the
necessary information to know this.  Since commit e93d2521b27f ("x86/vdso:
Split virtual clock pages into dedicated mapping") the virtual clock data
was split out into its own mapping, leading to EFAULT from read() during
the validation.

Check for the VM_IO flag as a proxy.  It is present for the VVAR mappings
and MMIO ranges can be dangerous to access arbitrarily.
