selftests/powerpc: Fix standalone powerpc build

2017-03-27T04:11:44+00:00

The changes to enable building with a separate output directory, in
commit a8ba798bc8ec ("selftests: enable O and KBUILD_OUTPUT") broke
building the powerpc selftests on their own, eg:

 $ cd tools/testing/selftests/powerpc; make

It was partially fixed in commit e53aff45c490 ("selftests: lib.mk Fix
individual test builds"), which defined OUTPUT for standalone tests. But
that only defines OUTPUT within the Makefile, the value is not exported
so sub-shells can't see it. We could export OUTPUT, but it's actually
cleaner to just expand the value of OUTPUT before we invoke the shell.

selftests/powerpc: Replace stxvx and lxvx with stxvd2x/lxvd2x

2017-03-09T02:58:00+00:00

On POWER8 (ISA 2.07) lxvx and stxvx are defined to be extended mnemonics
of lxvd2x and stxvd2x. For POWER9 (ISA 3.0) the HW architects in their
infinite wisdom made lxvx and stxvx instructions in their own right.

POWER9 aware GCC will use the POWER9 instruction for lxvx and stxvx
causing these selftests to fail on POWER8. Further compounding the
issue, because of the way -mvsx works it will cause the power9
instructions to be used regardless of -mcpu=power8 to GCC or -mpower8 to
AS.

The safest way to address the problem for now is to not use the extended
mnemonic. We don't care how the CPU loads the values from memory since
the tests only performs register comparisons, so using stdvd2x/lxvd2x
does not impact the test.

selftest/powerpc: Fix false failures for skipped tests

2017-03-03T00:24:50+00:00

Tests under alignment subdirectory are skipped when executed on previous
generation hardware, but harness still marks them as failed.

  test: test_copy_unaligned
  tags: git_version:unknown
  [SKIP] Test skipped on line 26
  skip: test_copy_unaligned
  selftests: copy_unaligned [FAIL]

The MAGIC_SKIP_RETURN_VALUE value assigned to rc variable is retained till
the program exit which causes the test to be marked as failed.

This patch resets the value before returning to the main() routine.
With this patch the test o/p is as follows:

  test: test_copy_unaligned
  tags: git_version:unknown
  [SKIP] Test skipped on line 26
  skip: test_copy_unaligned
  selftests: copy_unaligned [PASS]

selftests/powerpc: Fix remaining fallout from recent changes

2017-02-14T15:02:27+00:00

In benchmarks we need to use $(TEST_GEN_PROGS) after we include lib.mk,
because lib.mk does the substitution to add $(OUTPUT).

In math the vmx and fpu names were typoed so they no longer matched
correctly, put back the 'v' and 'f'.

In tm we need to substitute $(OUTPUT) into SIGNAL_CONTEXT_CHK_TESTS so
that the rule matches.

In pmu there is an extraneous ':' on the end of $$BUILD_TARGET for the
clean and install rules, which breaks the logic in the child Makefiles.

Enable O and KBUILD_OUTPUT for kselftest. User could compile kselftest
to another directory by passing O or KBUILD_OUTPUT. And O is high

selftests: add EXTRA_CLEAN for clean target

2017-01-05T20:42:17+00:00

Some testcases need the clean extra data after running. This patch
introduce the "EXTRA_CLEAN" variable to address this requirement.

After KBUILD_OUTPUT is enabled in later patch, it will be easy to
decide to if we need do the cleanup in the KBUILD_OUTPUT path(if the
testcase ran immediately after compiled).

selftests: remove duplicated all and clean target

2017-01-05T20:41:35+00:00

Currently, kselftest use TEST_PROGS, TEST_PROGS_EXTENDED, TEST_FILES to
indicate the test program, extended test program and test files. It is
easy to understand the purpose of these files. But mix of compiled and
uncompiled files lead to duplicated "all" and "clean" targets.

In order to remove the duplicated targets, introduce TEST_GEN_PROGS,
TEST_GEN_PROGS_EXTENDED, TEST_GEN_FILES to indicate the compiled
objects.

Also, the later patch will make use of TEST_GEN_XXX to redirect these
files to output directory indicated by KBUILD_OUTPUT or O.

And add this changes to "Contributing new tests(details)" of
Documentation/kselftest.txt.
