The test verifies that file descriptor created with memfd_secret does not
allow read/write operations, that secret memory mappings respect
RLIMIT_MEMLOCK and that remote accesses with process_vm_read() and
ptrace() to the secret memory fail.

<title>selftests/vm/pkeys: exercise x86 XSAVE init state</title>
<updated>2021-07-01T18:06:06+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux-stable.git/commit/?id=d892454b6814f07da676dae5e686cf221d34a1af'/>
<id>d892454b6814f07da676dae5e686cf221d34a1af</id>
<content type='text'>
On x86, there is a set of instructions used to save and restore register
state collectively known as the XSAVE architecture.  There are about a
dozen different features managed with XSAVE.  The protection keys
register, PKRU, is one of those features.

The hardware optimizes XSAVE by tracking when the state has not changed
from its initial (init) state.  In this case, it can avoid the cost of
writing state to memory (it would usually just be a bunch of 0's).

When the pkey register is 0x0 the hardware optionally choose to track the
register as being in the init state (optimize away the writes).  AMD CPUs
do this more aggressively compared to Intel.

On x86, PKRU is rarely in its (very permissive) init state.  Instead, the
value defaults to something very restrictive.  It is not surprising that
bugs have popped up in the rare cases when PKRU reaches its init state.

Add a protection key selftest which gets the protection keys register into
its init state in a way that should work on Intel and AMD.  Then, do a
bunch of pkey register reads to watch for inadvertent changes.

This adds "-mxsave" to CFLAGS for all the x86 vm selftests in order to
allow use of the XSAVE instruction __builtin functions.  This will make
the builtins available on all of the vm selftests, but is expected to be
harmless.

<content type='text'>
Let's add a simple test for MADV_POPULATE_READ and MADV_POPULATE_WRITE,
verifying some error handling, that population works, and that softdirty
tracking works as expected.  For now, limit the test to private anonymous
memory.

<title>mm: huge_memory: a new debugfs interface for splitting THP tests</title>

<content type='text'>
We did not have a direct user interface of splitting the compound page
backing a THP and there is no need unless we want to expose the THP
implementation details to users.  Make &lt;debugfs&gt;/split_huge_pages accept a
new command to do that.

By writing "&lt;pid&gt;,&lt;vaddr_start&gt;,&lt;vaddr_end&gt;" to
&lt;debugfs&gt;/split_huge_pages, THPs within the given virtual address range
from the process with the given pid are split. It is used to test
split_huge_page function. In addition, a selftest program is added to
tools/testing/selftests/vm to utilize the interface by splitting
PMD THPs and PTE-mapped THPs.

This does not change the old behavior, i.e., writing 1 to the interface
to split all THPs in the system.

Commit d8cbe8bfa7d ("tools/testing/selftests/vm: fix build error") tried
to include a ARCH check for powerpc, however ARCH is not defined in the
Makefile before including lib.mk.  This makes test building to skip on
both x86 and powerpc.

Fix the arch check by replacing it using machine type as it is already
defined and used in the test.

Commit d8cbe8bfa7d ("tools/testing/selftests/vm: fix build error") tried
to include a ARCH check for powerpc, however ARCH is not defined in the
Makefile before including lib.mk.  This makes test building to skip on
both x86 and powerpc.

Fix the arch check by replacing it using machine type as it is already
defined and used in the test.

Patch series "Speed up mremap on large regions", v4.

mremap time can be optimized by moving entries at the PMD/PUD level if the
source and destination addresses are PMD/PUD-aligned and PMD/PUD-sized.
Enable moving at the PMD and PUD levels on arm64 and x86.  Other
architectures where this type of move is supported and known to be safe
can also opt-in to these optimizations by enabling HAVE_MOVE_PMD and
HAVE_MOVE_PUD.

Observed Performance Improvements for remapping a PUD-aligned 1GB-sized
region on x86 and arm64:

    - HAVE_MOVE_PMD is already enabled on x86 : N/A
    - Enabling HAVE_MOVE_PUD on x86   : ~13x speed up

    - Enabling HAVE_MOVE_PMD on arm64 : ~ 8x speed up
    - Enabling HAVE_MOVE_PUD on arm64 : ~19x speed up

          Altogether, HAVE_MOVE_PMD and HAVE_MOVE_PUD
          give a total of ~150x speed up on arm64.

This patch (of 4):

Test mremap on regions of various sizes and alignments and validate data
after remapping.  Also provide total time for remapping the region which
is useful for performance comparison of the mremap optimizations that move
pages at the PMD/PUD levels if HAVE_MOVE_PMD and/or HAVE_MOVE_PUD are
enabled.

<title>selftests/vm: hmm-tests: remove the libhugetlbfs dependency</title>
<updated>2020-12-15T20:13:38+00:00</updated>

<id>f3a45709d2bb1b6cbab2899a6c8e75dfb8e4aad7</id>
<content type='text'>
HMM selftests are incredibly useful, but they are only effective if people
actually build and run them.  All the other tests in selftests/vm can be
built with very standard, always-available libraries: libpthread, librt.
The hmm-tests.c program, on the other hand, requires something that is
(much) less readily available: libhugetlbfs.  And so the build will
typically fail for many developers.

A simple attempt to install libhugetlbfs will also run into complications
on some common distros these days: Fedora and Arch Linux (yes, Arch AUR
has it, but that's fragile, as always with AUR).  The library is not
maintained actively enough at the moment, for distros to deal with it.  I
had to build it from source, for Fedora, and that didn't go too smoothly
either.

It turns out that, out of 21 tests in hmm-tests.c, only 2 actually require
functionality from libhugetlbfs.  Therefore, if libhugetlbfs is missing,
simply ifdef those two tests out and allow the developer to at least have
the other 19 tests, if they don't want to pause to work through the above
issues.  Also issue a warning, so that it's clear that there is an
imperfection in the build.

In order to do that, a tiny shell script (check_config.sh) runs a quick
compile (not link, that's too prone to false failures with library paths),
and basically, if the compiler doesn't find hugetlbfs.h in its standard
locations, then the script concludes that libhugetlbfs is not available.
The output is in two files, one for inclusion in hmm-test.c
(local_config.h), and one for inclusion in the Makefile (local_config.mk).

A few cleanups that don't deserve separate patches, but that also should
not clutter up other functional changes:

1. Remove an unnecessary #include &lt;prctl.h&gt;

2. Restore the sorted order of TEST_GEN_FILES.

3. Add -lpthread to the common LDLIBS, as it is harmless and several
   tests use it. This gets rid of one special rule already.

Rename to *.sh, in order to match the conventions of all of the other
items in selftest/vm.

The only reason not to use a .sh suffix a shell script like this, might be
to make it look more like a normal program, but that's not an issue here.
