selftests/powerpc: Skip PROT_SAO test in guests/LPARS

2020-09-01T12:47:02+00:00

In commit 9b725a90a8f1 ("powerpc/64s: Disallow PROT_SAO in LPARs by
default") PROT_SAO was disabled in guests/LPARs by default. So skip
the test if we are running in a guest to avoid a spurious failure.

selftests/powerpc: Update PROT_SAO test to skip ISA 3.1

2020-08-24T04:12:54+00:00

Since SAO support was removed from ISA 3.1, skip the
prot_sao test if PPC_FEATURE2_ARCH_3_1 is set.

Revert "powerpc/64s: Remove PROT_SAO support"

2020-08-24T04:12:53+00:00

This reverts commit 5c9fa16e8abd342ce04dc830c1ebb2a03abf6c05.

Since PROT_SAO can still be useful for certain classes of software,
reintroduce it. Concerns about guest migration for LPARs using SAO
will be addressed next.

selftests/powerpc: Fix pkey syscall redefinitions

2020-08-05T00:14:03+00:00

On distros using older glibc versions, the pkey tests encounter build
failures due to redefinition of the pkey syscall numbers.

For compatibility, commit 743f3544fffb added a wrapper for the
gettid() syscall and included syscall.h if the version of glibc used
is older than 2.30. This leads to different definitions of SYS_pkey_*
as the ones in the pkey test header set numeric constants where as the
ones from syscall.h reuse __NR_pkey_*. The compiler complains about
redefinitions since they are different.

This replaces SYS_pkey_* definitions with __NR_pkey_* such that the
definitions in both syscall.h and pkeys.h are alike. This way, if
syscall.h has to be included for compatibility reasons, builds will
still succeed.

selftests/powerpc: Skip vmx/vsx/tar/etc tests on older CPUs

2020-08-03T12:12:41+00:00

Some of our tests use VSX or newer VMX instructions, so need to be
skipped on older CPUs to avoid SIGILL'ing.

Similarly TAR was added in v2.07, and the PMU event used in the stcx
fail test only works on Power8 or later.

selftests/powerpc: Fix online CPU selection

2020-07-30T12:53:50+00:00

The size of the CPU affinity mask must be large enough for
systems with a very large number of CPUs. Otherwise, tests
which try to determine the first online CPU by calling
sched_getaffinity() will fail. This makes sure that the size
of the allocated affinity mask is dependent on the number of
CPUs as reported by get_nprocs_conf().

selftests/powerpc: Return skip code for spectre_v2

2020-07-29T13:47:52+00:00

When running under older versions of qemu of under newer versions with
old machine types, some security features will not be reported to the
guest. This will lead the guest OS to consider itself Vulnerable to
spectre_v2.

So, spectre_v2 test fails in such cases when the host is mitigated and
miss predictions cannot be detected as expected by the test.

Make it return the skip code instead, for this particular case. We
don't want to miss the case when the test fails and the system reports
as mitigated or not affected. But it is not a problem to miss failures
when the system reports as Vulnerable.

selftests/powerpc: Fix CPU affinity for child process

2020-07-29T12:30:34+00:00

On systems with large number of cpus, test fails trying to set
affinity by calling sched_setaffinity() with smaller size for affinity
mask. This patch fixes it by making sure that the size of allocated
affinity mask is dependent on the number of CPUs as reported by
get_nprocs().
