| 2022-06-15 | selftests/livepatch: better synchronize test_klp_callbacks_busy | Joe Lawrence | 1 | -0/+8 | |
| The test_klp_callbacks_busy module conditionally blocks a future livepatch transition by busy waiting inside its workqueue function, busymod_work_func(). After scheduling this work, a test livepatch is loaded, introducing the transition under test. Both events are marked in the kernel log for later verification, but there is no synchronization to ensure that busymod_work_func() logs its function entry message before subsequent selftest commands log their own messages. This can lead to a rare test failure due to unexpected ordering like: --- expected +++ result @@ -1,7 +1,7 @@ % modprobe test_klp_callbacks_busy block_transition=Y test_klp_callbacks_busy: test_klp_callbacks_busy_init -test_klp_callbacks_busy: busymod_work_func enter % modprobe test_klp_callbacks_demo +test_klp_callbacks_busy: busymod_work_func enter livepatch: enabling patch 'test_klp_callbacks_demo' livepatch: 'test_klp_callbacks_demo': initializing patching transition test_klp_callbacks_demo: pre_patch_callback: vmlinux Force the module init function to wait until busymod_work_func() has started (and logged its message), before exiting to the next selftest steps.

| The test-klp-callbacks script includes a few tests which rely on kernel task timings that may not always execute as expected under system load. These may generate out of sequence kernel log messages that result in test failure. Instead of using sleep timing windows to orchestrate these tests, add a block_transition module parameter to communicate the test purpose and utilize flush_queue() to serialize the test module's task output.

| Add a few livepatch modules and simple target modules that the included regression suite can run tests against: - basic livepatching (multiple patches, atomic replace) - pre/post (un)patch callbacks - shadow variable API Signed-off-by: Joe Lawrence <joe.lawrence@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Petr Mladek <pmladek@suse.com> Tested-by: Miroslav Benes <mbenes@suse.cz> Tested-by: Alice Ferrazzi <alice.ferrazzi@gmail.com> Acked-by: Joe Lawrence <joe.lawrence@redhat.com> Acked-by: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz> | |||||
