selftests/rseq: Expand for optimized RSEQ ABI v2

2026-05-14T13:31:08+00:00

commit e744060076871eebc2647b24420b550ff44b2b65 upstream.

Update the selftests so they are executed for legacy (32 bytes RSEQ region)
and optimized RSEQ ABI v2 mode.

selftests/rseq: Validate legacy behavior

2026-05-14T13:31:08+00:00

commit fdf4eb632683bfc2840acebe62716cb468d43e10 upstream.

The RSEQ legacy mode behavior requires that the ID fields in the rseq
region are unconditionally updated on every context switch and before
signal delivery even if not required by the ABI specification.

To ensure that this behavior is preserved for legacy users in the future,
add a test which validates that with a sleep() and a signal sent to self.

Provide a run script which prevents GLIBC from registering a RSEQ region,
so that the test can register it's own legacy sized region.

selftests/rseq: Skip tests if time slice extensions are not available

2026-05-14T13:31:08+00:00

commit 02b44d943b3adddc3a15c1da97045e205b7d14c1 upstream.

Don't fail, skip the test if the extensions are not enabled at compile or
runtime.

selftests/rseq: Make registration flexible for legacy and optimized mode

2026-05-14T13:31:08+00:00

commit d97cb2ef0b221b068e90b6058aa97faa0626bdab upstream.

rseq_register_current_thread() either uses the glibc registered RSEQ region
or registers it's own region with the legacy size of 32 bytes.

That worked so far, but becomes a problem when the kernel implements a
distinction between legacy and performance optimized behavior based on the
registration size as that does not allow to test both modes with the self
test suite.

Add two arguments to the function. One to enforce that the registration is
not using libc provided mode and one to tell the registration to use the
legacy size and not the kernel advertised size.

Rename it and make the original one a inline wrapper which preserves the
existing behavior.

selftests/rseq: Don't run tests with runner scripts outside of the scripts

2026-05-14T13:31:08+00:00

commit cb48828f06afa232cc330f0f4d6be101067810b3 upstream.

The rseq selftests include two runner scripts run_param_test.sh and
run_syscall_errors_test.sh which set up the environment for test binaries
and run them with various parameters. Currently we list these test binaries
in TEST_GEN_PROGS but this results in the kselftest framework running them
directly as well as via the runners, resulting in duplication and spurious
failures when the environment is not correctly set up (eg, if glibc tries
to use rseq).

Move the binaries the runners invoke to TEST_GEN_PROGS_EXTENDED, binaries
listed there are built but not run by the framework.  The param_test
benchmarks are not moved since they are not run by run_param_test.sh.

   increases the flexibility of KEXEC Handover. Also preparation for LUO

 - "Live Update Orchestrator" (Pasha Tatashin)
   is a major new feature targeted at cloud environments. Quoting the
   cover letter:

      This series introduces the Live Update Orchestrator, a kernel
      subsystem designed to facilitate live kernel updates using a
      kexec-based reboot. This capability is critical for cloud
      environments, allowing hypervisors to be updated with minimal
      downtime for running virtual machines. LUO achieves this by
      preserving the state of selected resources, such as memory,
      devices and their dependencies, across the kernel transition.

      As a key feature, this series includes support for preserving
      memfd file descriptors, which allows critical in-memory data, such
      as guest RAM or any other large memory region, to be maintained in
      RAM across the kexec reboot.

   Mike Rappaport merits a mention here, for his extensive review and
   testing work.

 - "kexec: reorganize kexec and kdump sysfs" (Sourabh Jain)
   moves the kexec and kdump sysfs entries from /sys/kernel/ to
   /sys/kernel/kexec/ and adds back-compatibility symlinks which can

 - "kho: fixes for vmalloc restoration" (Mike Rapoport)
   fixes a BUG which was being hit during KHO restoration of vmalloc()
   regions

This follow-up patch completes centralization of kselftest.h and
ksefltest_harness.h includes in remaining seltests files, replacing all
relative paths with a non-relative paths using shared -I include path in
lib.mk

riscv, arm64, x86_64 and powerpc arch.
