tools/testing/selftests/ipc/msgque.c: handle msgget failure return correctly

2014-03-11T00:26:21Z

A failed msgget causes the test to return an uninitialised value in ret. Assign ret to -errno on error exit. Signed-off-by: Colin Ian King Acked-by: Davidlohr Bueso Cc: Stanislav Kinsbursky Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

test: check copy_to/from_user boundary validation

2014-01-24T00:36:57Z

To help avoid an architecture failing to correctly check kernel/user boundaries when handling copy_to_user, copy_from_user, put_user, or get_user, perform some simple tests and fail to load if any of them behave unexpectedly. Specifically, this is to make sure there is a way to notice if things like what was fixed in commit 8404663f81d2 ("ARM: 7527/1: uaccess: explicitly check __user pointer when !CPU_USE_DOMAINS") ever regresses again, for any architecture. Additionally, adds new "user" selftest target, which loads this module. Signed-off-by: Kees Cook Cc: Rusty Russell Cc: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

ktest: Add BISECT_TRIES to bisect test

2014-01-19T00:52:13Z

For those cases that it takes several tries to hit a bug, it would be useful for ktest.pl to try a test multiple times before it considers the test as a pass. To accomplish this, BISECT_TRIES ktest config option has been added. It is default to one, as most of the time a bisect only needs to try a test once. But the user can now up this to make ktest run a given test multiple times. The first failure that is detected will set a bisect bad. It only repeats on success. Note, as with all race bugs, there's no guarantee that if it succeeds, it is really a good bisect. But it helps in case the bug is somewhat reliable. You can set BISECT_TRIES to zero, and all tests will be considered good, unless you also set BISECT_MANUAL. Suggested-by: "Paul E. McKenney" Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

ktest: Add eval '=~' command to modify variables in config file

2013-12-12T02:16:59Z

With the added variable ${KERNEL_VERSION}, it is useful to be able to use parts of it for other variables. For example, if you want to create a warnings file for each major kernel version to test sub versions against you can create your warnings file with like this: WARNINGS_FILE = warnings-file-${KERNEL_VERSION} But this may add 3.8.12 or something, and we want all 3.8.* to use the same file, and 3.10.* to use another file, and so on. With the eval command we can, by adding: WARNINGS_FILE =~ s/(-file-\d+\.\d+).*/$1/ Which will chop off the extra characters after the 3.8. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

ktest: Add special variable ${KERNEL_VERSION}

2013-12-11T20:53:31Z

Add a special variable that can be used in other variables called ${KERNEL_VERSION}. This will embed the current kernel version into the variable. For example: WARNINGS_FILE = ${OUTPUT_DIR}/warnings-${KERNEL_VERSION} If the current version is v3.8 then the WARNINGS_FILE will become ${OUTPUT_DIR}/warnings-v3.8 Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

rcutorture: Stop tracking FSF's postal address

2013-12-03T18:11:19Z

All of the rcutorture scripts has the usual GPL header, which contains a long-obsolete postal address for FSF. To avoid the need to track the FSF office's movements, this commit substitutes the URL where GPL may be found. Reported-by: Greg KH Reported-by: Steven Rostedt Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney

rcutorture: Flag errors and warnings with color coding

2013-12-03T18:11:18Z

The output of the rcutorture scripts often requires interpretation, so this commit simplifies this interpretation by tagging messages as BUGs (colored red) or WARNINGs (colored yellow). Reported-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney Cc: Greg KH
