With "bpftool prog tracelog", bpftool prints messages from the trace
pipe. To do so, it first needs to find the tracefs mount point to open
the pipe. Bpftool looks at a few "default" locations, including
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing and /sys/kernel/tracing.
Some of these locations, namely /tracing and /trace, are not standard.
They are in the list because some users used to hardcode the tracing
directory to short names; but we have no compelling reason to look at
these locations. If we fail to find the tracefs at the default
locations, we have an additional step to find it by parsing /proc/mounts
anyway, so it's safe to remove these entries from the list of default
locations to check.
Additionally, Alexei reports that looking for the tracefs at
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing may automatically mount the file system under
that location, and generate a kernel log message telling that
auto-mounting there is deprecated. To avoid this message, let's swap the
order for checking the potential mount points: try /sys/kernel/tracing
first, which should be the standard location nowadays. The kernel log
message may still appear if the tracefs is not mounted on
/sys/kernel/tracing when we run bpftool.

__maps__fixup_overlap_and_insert may split or directly insert a map,
when doing this the map may need to have a kmap set up for the sake of
the kmaps. The missing kmap set up fails the check_invariants test in
maps, later "Internal error" reports from map__kmap and ultimately
causes segfaults.
Similar fixes were added in commit e0e4e0b8b7 ("perf maps: Add
missing map__set_kmap_maps() when replacing a kernel map") and commit
25d9c0301d ("perf maps: Set the kmaps for newly created/added kernel
maps") but they missed cases. To try to reduce the risk of this,
update the kmap directly following any manual insert. This identified
another problem in maps__copy_from.

Various KUnit tests require PCI infrastructure to work. All normal
platforms enable PCI by default, but UML does not. Enabling PCI from
.kunitconfig files is problematic as it would not be portable. So in
commit 6fc3a8636a ("kunit: tool: Enable virtio/PCI by default on UML")
PCI was enabled by way of CONFIG_UML_PCI_OVER_VIRTIO=y. However
CONFIG_UML_PCI_OVER_VIRTIO requires additional configuration of
CONFIG_UML_PCI_OVER_VIRTIO_DEVICE_ID or will otherwise trigger a WARN() in
virtio_pcidev_init(). However there is no one correct value for
UML_PCI_OVER_VIRTIO_DEVICE_ID which could be used by default.
This warning is confusing when debugging test failures.
On the other hand, the functionality of CONFIG_UML_PCI_OVER_VIRTIO is not
used at all, given that it is completely non-functional as indicated by
the WARN() in question. Instead it is only used as a way to enable
CONFIG_UML_PCI which itself is not directly configurable.
Instead of going through CONFIG_UML_PCI_OVER_VIRTIO, introduce a custom
configuration option which enables CONFIG_UML_PCI without triggering
warnings or building dead code.

This test ensures that upon receiving decapsulated packets from a
tunnel interface in openvswitch, the tunnel metadata fields are
properly populated. This partially covers interoperability of the
kernel tunnel ports and openvswitch tunnels (LWT) and parsing and
formatting of the tunnel metadata fields of the openvswitch netlink
uAPI. Doing so, this test also ensures that fields and flags are
properly extracted during decapsulation by the tunnel core code,
serving as a regression test for the previously fixed issue with the
DF bit not being extracted from the outer IP header.
The ovs-dpctl.py script already supports all that is necessary for
the tunnel ports for this test, so we only need to adjust the
ovs_add_if() function to pass the '-t' port type argument in order
to be able to create tunnel ports in the openvswitch datapath.

The original delaytop only supported static output with limited
interaction. Users had to restart the tool with different command-line
options to change sorting or display modes, which disrupted continuous
monitoring and reduced productivity during performance investigations.
Adds real-time interactive controls through keyboard input:
1) Add interactive menu system with visual prompts
2) Support dynamic sorting changes without restarting
3) Enable toggle of memory verbose mode with 'M' key
The interactive mode transforms delaytop from a static monitoring tool
into a dynamic investigation platform, allowing users to adapt the view in
real-time based on observed performance patterns.

Patch series "ida: Remove the ida_simple_xxx() API", v3.
These are the final steps in removing the ida_simple_xxx() API.
This series was last proposed in August 2024. Since then, some users of
the old API have be re-introduced and then removed.
A first time in drivers/misc/rpmb-core.c, added in commit 1e9046e3a1
("rpmb: add Replay Protected Memory Block (RPMB) subsystem") (2024-08-26)
and removed in commit dfc881abca ("rpmb: Remove usage of the deprecated
ida_simple_xx() API") (2024-10-13).
A second time in drivers/gpio/gpio-mpsse.c, added in commit c46a74ff05
("gpio: add support for FTDI's MPSSE as GPIO") (2024-10-14) and removed in
commit f57c084928 (gpio: mpsse: Remove usage of the deprecated
ida_simple_xx() API) (2024-11-22).
Since then, I've not spotted any new usage.
So things being stable now, it's time to end this story once and for all.
This patch (of 3):
ida_alloc() and ida_free() should be preferred to the deprecated
ida_simple_get() and ida_simple_remove().
Note that the upper limit of ida_simple_get() is exclusive, but the one of
ida_alloc_range()/ida_alloc_max() is inclusive. But because of the ranges
used for the tests, there is no need to adjust them.
While at it remove some useless {}.

Patch series "maple_tree: Fix testing for 32bit compiles".
The maple tree test suite supports 32bit builds which causes 32bit nodes
and index/last values. Some tests have too large values and must be
skipped while others depend on certain actions causing the tree to be
altered in another measurable way (such as the height decreasing or
increasing).
Two tests were added that broke 32bit testing, either by compile warnings
or failures. These fixes restore the tests to a working order.
Building 32bit version can be done on a 32bit platform, or by using a
command like: BUILD=32 make clean maple
This patch (of 2):
Some tests are invalid on 32bit due to the size of the index and last.
Making those tests depend on the correct build flags stops compile
complaints.

The shared userspace logic used for unit-testing maple tree and VMA code
currently has its own replacements for atomics helpers. This is not
needed as the necessary APIs already have userspace implementations in the
tools tree. Switching over to that allows deleting a bit of code.
Note that the implementation is different; while the version being deleted
here is implemented using liburcu, the existing version in tools uses
either x86 asm or compiler builtins. It's assumed that both are equally
likely to be correct.
The tools tree's version of atomic_t is a struct type while the version
being deleted was just a typedef of an integer. This means it's no longer
valid to call __sync_bool_compare_and_swap() directly on it. One option
would be to just peek into the struct and call it on the field, but it
seems a little cleaner to just use the corresponding atomic.h API whic has
been added recently. Now the fake mapping_map_writable() is copied from
the real one.

Patch series "tools: testing: Use existing atomic.h for vma/maple tests",
v2.
De-duplicating this lets us delete a bit of code.
Ulterior motive: I'm working on a new set of the userspace-based unit
tests, which will need the atomics API too. That would involve even more
duplication, so while the win in this patchset alone is very minimal, it
looks a lot more significant with my other WIP patchset.
I've tested these commands:
make -C tools/testing/vma -j
tools/testing/vma/vma
make -C tools/testing/radix-tree -j
tools/testing/radix-tree/maple
Note the EXTRA_CFLAGS patch is actually orthogonal, let me know if you'd
prefer I send it separately.
This patch (of 4):
The VMA tests need an operation equivalent to atomic_inc_unless_negative()
to implement a fake mapping_map_writable(). Adding it will enable them to
switch to the shared atomic headers and simplify that fake implementation.
In order to add that, also add atomic_try_cmpxchg() which can be used to
implement it. This is copied from Documentation/atomic_t.txt. Then,
implement atomic_inc_unless_negative() itself based on the
raw_atomic_dec_unless_positive() in
include/linux/atomic/atomic-arch-fallback.h.
There's no present need for a highly-optimised version of this (nor any
reason to think this implementation is sub-optimal on x86) so just
implement this with generic C, no x86-specifics.

Patch series "selftests/mm: uffd-stress fixes", v2.
This patchset ensures that the number of hugepages is correctly set in the
system so that the uffd-stress test does not fail due to the racy nature
of the test. Patch 1 changes the hugepage constraint in the
run_vmtests.sh script, whereas patch 2 changes the constraint in the test
itself.
This patch (of 2):
We observed uffd-stress selftest failure on arm64 and intermittent
failures on x86 too:
running ./uffd-stress hugetlb-private 128 32
bounces: 17, mode: rnd read, ERROR: UFFDIO_COPY error: -12 (errno=12, @uffd-common.c:617) [FAIL]
not ok 18 uffd-stress hugetlb-private 128 32 # exit=1
For this particular case, the number of free hugepages from run_vmtests.sh
will be 128, and the test will allocate 64 hugepages in the source
location. The stress() function will start spawning threads which will
operate on the destination location, triggering uffd-operations like
UFFDIO_COPY from src to dst, which means that we will require 64 more
hugepages for the dst location.
Let us observe the locking_thread() function. It will lock the mutex kept
at dst, triggering uffd-copy. Suppose that 127 (64 for src and 63 for
dst) hugepages have been reserved. In case of BOUNCE_RANDOM, it may
happen that two threads trying to lock the mutex at dst, try to do so at
the same hugepage number. If one thread succeeds in reserving the last
hugepage, then the other thread may fail in alloc_hugetlb_folio(),
returning -ENOMEM. I can confirm that this is indeed the case by this
hacky patch:
:--- a/mm/hugetlb.c
; +++ b/mm/hugetlb.c
; @@ -6929,6 +6929,11 @@ int hugetlb_mfill_atomic_pte(pte_t *dst_pte,
;
; folio = alloc_hugetlb_folio(dst_vma, dst_addr, false);
; if (IS_ERR(folio)) {
; + pte_t *actual_pte = hugetlb_walk(dst_vma, dst_addr, PMD_SIZE);
; + if (actual_pte) {
; + ret = -EEXIST;
; + goto out;
; + }
; ret = -ENOMEM;
; goto out;
; }
This code path gets triggered indicating that the PMD at which one thread
is trying to map a hugepage, gets filled by a racing thread.
Therefore, instead of using freepgs to compute the amount of memory, use
freepgs - (min(32, nr_cpus) - 1), so that the test still has some extra
hugepages to use. The adjustment is a function of min(32, nr_cpus) - the
value of nr_parallel in the test - because in the worst case, nr_parallel
number of threads will try to map a hugepage on the same PMD, one will win
the allocation race, and the other nr_parallel - 1 threads will fail, so
we need extra nr_parallel - 1 hugepages to satisfy this request. Note
that, in case the adjusted value underflows, there is a check for the
number of free hugepages in the test itself, which will fail:
get_free_hugepages() < bytes / page_size A negative value will be passed
on to bytes which is of type size_t, thus the RHS will become a large
value and the check will fail, so we are safe.

The test will set the global system THP setting to never, madvise or

before it starts (and reset to original at teardown). The fixture setup
will also test if PR_SET_THP_DISABLE prctl call can be made with
PR_THP_DISABLE_EXCEPT_ADVISED and skip if it fails.
This tests if the process can:
- successfully get the policy to disable THPs expect for madvise.
- get hugepages only on MADV_HUGE and MADV_COLLAPSE if the global policy
is madvise/always and only with MADV_COLLAPSE if the global policy is
never.
- successfully reset the policy of the process.
- after reset, only get hugepages with:
- MADV_COLLAPSE when policy is set to never.
- MADV_HUGE and MADV_COLLAPSE when policy is set to madvise.
- always when policy is set to "always".
- never get a THP with MADV_NOHUGEPAGE.
- repeat the above tests in a forked process to make sure the policy is
carried across forks.

In ksm_functional_tests, test_child_ksm() returned negative values to
indicate errors. However, when passed to exit(), these were interpreted
as large unsigned values (e.g, -2 became 254), leading to incorrect
handling in the parent process. As a result, some tests appeared to be
skipped or silently failed.
This patch changes test_child_ksm() to return positive error codes (1, 2,
3) and updates test_child_ksm_err() to interpret them correctly.
Additionally, test_prctl_fork_exec() now uses exit(4) after a failed
execv() to clearly signal exec failures. This ensures the parent
accurately detects and reports child process failures.

This patch fixes 2 issues.
1) After fork() in test_prctl_fork, the child process uses the file
descriptors from the parent process to read ksm_stat and
ksm_merging_pages. This results in incorrect values being read (parent
process ksm_stat and ksm_merging_pages will be read in child), causing
the test to fail.
This patch calls init_global_file_handles() in the child process to
ensure that the current process's file descriptors are used to read
ksm_stat and ksm_merging_pages.
2) All tests currently call ksm_merge to trigger page merging. To
ensure the system remains in a consistent state for subsequent tests,
it is better to call ksm_unmerge during the test cleanup phase
In the test_prctl_fork test, after a fork(), reading
ksm_merging_pages in the child process returns a non-zero value because
a previous test performed a merge, and the child's memory state is
inherited from the parent.
Although the child process calls ksm_unmerge, the ksm_merging_pages
counter in the parent is reset to zero, while the child's counter
remains unchanged. This discrepancy causes the test to fail.
To avoid this issue, each test should call ksm_unmerge during
cleanup to ensure the counter is reset and the system is in a clean
state for subsequent tests.
