[PATCH 0/3] binfmt_elf: Honor PT_LOAD alignment for static PIE

by Kees Cook

Hi, This attempts to implement PT_LOAD p_align support for static PIE builds. I intend this to go into -next after the coming merge window so we can maximize bake time. In the past we've had regressions with both the selftests and the ELF loader. Hopefully we can shake everything out over a few months. :) Thanks! -Kees Kees Cook (3): selftests/exec: Build both static and non-static load_address tests binfmt_elf: Calculate total_size earlier binfmt_elf: Honor PT_LOAD alignment for static PIE fs/binfmt_elf.c | 94 ++++++++++++++------- tools/testing/selftests/exec/Makefile | 19 +++-- tools/testing/selftests/exec/load_address.c | 67 ++++++++++++--- 3 files changed, 130 insertions(+), 50 deletions(-) -- 2.34.1

[PATCH 1/1] KVM: selftests: add kvmclock drift test

by Dongli Zhang

There is kvmclock drift issue during the vCPU hotplug. It has been fixed by the commit c52ffadc65e2 ("KVM: x86: Don't unnecessarily force masterclock update on vCPU hotplug"). This is to add the test to verify if the master clock is updated when we write 0 to MSR_IA32_TSC from the host side. Here is the usage example on the KVM with the bugfix reverted. $ ./kvm_clock_drift -v -p 5 kvmclock based on old pvclock_vcpu_time_info: 5012221999 version: 2 tsc_timestamp: 3277968 system_time: 11849519 tsc_to_system_mul: 2152530255 tsc_shift: 0 flags: 1 kvmclock based on new pvclock_vcpu_time_info: 5012222411 version: 4 tsc_timestamp: 9980576184 system_time: 5012222411 tsc_to_system_mul: 2152530255 tsc_shift: 0 flags: 1 ==== Test Assertion Failure ==== x86_64/kvm_clock_drift.c:216: clock_old == clock_new pid=14257 tid=14257 errno=4 - Interrupted system call 1 0x000000000040277b: main at kvm_clock_drift.c:216 2 0x00007f7766fa7e44: ?? ??:0 3 0x000000000040286d: _start at ??:? kvmclock drift detected, old=5012221999, new=5012222411 Signed-off-by: Dongli Zhang <dongli.zhang(a)oracle.com> --- tools/testing/selftests/kvm/Makefile | 1 + .../selftests/kvm/x86_64/kvm_clock_drift.c | 223 ++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 224 insertions(+) create mode 100644 tools/testing/selftests/kvm/x86_64/kvm_clock_drift.c diff --git a/tools/testing/selftests/kvm/Makefile b/tools/testing/selftests/kvm/Makefile index 4412b42d95de..c665d0d8d348 100644 --- a/tools/testing/selftests/kvm/Makefile +++ b/tools/testing/selftests/kvm/Makefile @@ -84,6 +84,7 @@ TEST_GEN_PROGS_x86_64 += x86_64/hyperv_features TEST_GEN_PROGS_x86_64 += x86_64/hyperv_ipi TEST_GEN_PROGS_x86_64 += x86_64/hyperv_svm_test TEST_GEN_PROGS_x86_64 += x86_64/hyperv_tlb_flush +TEST_GEN_PROGS_x86_64 += x86_64/kvm_clock_drift TEST_GEN_PROGS_x86_64 += x86_64/kvm_clock_test TEST_GEN_PROGS_x86_64 += x86_64/kvm_pv_test TEST_GEN_PROGS_x86_64 += x86_64/monitor_mwait_test diff --git a/tools/testing/selftests/kvm/x86_64/kvm_clock_drift.c b/tools/testing/selftests/kvm/x86_64/kvm_clock_drift.c new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..324f0dbc5762 --- /dev/null +++ b/tools/testing/selftests/kvm/x86_64/kvm_clock_drift.c @@ -0,0 +1,223 @@ +// SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 +/* + * The kvmclock drift test.

[PATCH v3 0/5] Add support for the Idle HLT intercept feature

by Manali Shukla

The upcoming new Idle HLT Intercept feature allows for the HLT instruction execution by a vCPU to be intercepted by the hypervisor only if there are no pending V_INTR and V_NMI events for the vCPU. When the vCPU is expected to service the pending V_INTR and V_NMI events, the Idle HLT intercept won’t trigger. The feature allows the hypervisor to determine if the vCPU is actually idle and reduces wasteful VMEXITs. Presence of the Idle HLT Intercept feature is indicated via CPUID function Fn8000_000A_EDX[30]. Document for the Idle HLT intercept feature is available at [1]. [1]: AMD64 Architecture Programmer's Manual Pub. 24593, April 2024, Vol 2, 15.9 Instruction Intercepts (Table 15-7: IDLE_HLT). https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=306250 Testing Done: - Added a selftest to test the Idle HLT intercept functionality. - Compile and functionality testing for the Idle HLT intercept selftest are only done for x86_64. - Tested SEV and SEV-ES guest for the Idle HLT intercept functionality. v2 -> v3 - Incorporated Andrew's suggestion to structure vcpu_stat_types in a way that each architecture can share the generic types and also provide its own. v1 -> v2 - Done changes in svm_idle_hlt_test based on the review comments from Sean. - Added an enum based approach to get binary stats in vcpu_get_stat() which doesn't use string to get stat data based on the comments from Sean. - Added self_halt() and cli() helpers based on the comments from Sean.

[RFC 0/5] SEV Kernel Selftests

by Pratik R. Sampat

This patchset introduces SEV-SNP test to the kernel selftest framework. It also adds negative testing of SEV, ES and SNP VM types. Patch 1 - Extend the sev smoke tests to use the SNP specific ioctl calls and sets up memory to boot a SNP guest VM Patch 2 - Cleanup patch that decouples the ioctl calls from the sev selftest library with its test assert and status counterparts. No functional change introduced Patch 3 - Introduce ioctl test for SEV, ES Patch 4 - Introduce positive and negative ioctl test for SEV-SNP Patch 5 - Adds the X86_FEATURE_SEV_SNP vm type test for KVM_SEV_INIT2 Any feedback/review on the approach and design is highly appreciated!

[PATCH v5 00/28] NT synchronization primitive driver

by Elizabeth Figura

This patch series implements a new char misc driver, /dev/ntsync, which is used to implement Windows NT synchronization primitives. NT synchronization primitives are unique in that the wait functions both are vectored, operate on multiple types of object with different behaviour (mutex, semaphore, event), and affect the state of the objects they wait on. This model is not compatible with existing kernel synchronization objects or interfaces, and therefore the ntsync driver implements its own wait queues and locking. This patch series is rebased against the "char-misc-next" branch of gregkh/char-misc.git. == Background == The Wine project emulates the Windows API in user space. One particular part of that API, namely the NT synchronization primitives, have historically been implemented via RPC to a dedicated "kernel" process. However, more recent applications use these APIs more strenuously, and the overhead of RPC has become a bottleneck. The NT synchronization APIs are too complex to implement on top of existing primitives without sacrificing correctness. Certain operations, such as NtPulseEvent() or the "wait-for-all" mode of NtWaitForMultipleObjects(), require direct control over the underlying wait queue, and implementing a wait queue sufficiently robust for Wine in user space is not possible. This proposed driver, therefore, implements the problematic interfaces directly in the Linux kernel. This driver was presented at Linux Plumbers Conference 2023. For those further interested in the history of synchronization in Wine and past attempts to solve this problem in user space, a recording of the presentation can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjU4nyWyhU8 == Performance == The performance measurements described below are copied from earlier versions of the patch set. While some of the code has changed, I do not currently anticipate that it has changed drastically enough to affect those measurements. The gain in performance varies wildly depending on the application in question and the user's hardware. For some games NT synchronization is not a bottleneck and no change can be observed, but for others frame rate improvements of 50 to 150 percent are not atypical. The following table lists frame rate measurements from a variety of games on a variety of hardware, taken by users Dmitry Skvortsov, FuzzyQuils, OnMars, and myself: Game Upstream ntsync improvement =========================================================================== Anger Foot 69 99 43% Call of Juarez 99.8 224.1 125% Dirt 3 110.6 860.7 678% Forza Horizon 5 108 160 48% Lara Croft: Temple of Osiris 141 326 131% Metro 2033 164.4 199.2 21% Resident Evil 2 26 77 196% The Crew 26 51 96% Tiny Tina's Wonderlands 130 360 177% Total War Saga: Troy 109 146 34% =========================================================================== == Patches == The intended semantics of the patches are broadly intended to match those of the corresponding Windows functions. For those not already familiar with the Windows functions (or their undocumented behaviour), patch 27/28 provides a detailed specification, and individual patches also include a brief description of the API they are implementing. The patches making use of this driver in Wine can be retrieved or browsed here: https://repo.or.cz/wine/zf.git/shortlog/refs/heads/ntsync5 == Previous versions == Changes from v4: * Rework wait-all locking code to avoid taking more than one spinlock at a time, and also to fix a race where the wait-all lock would not be not correctly taken. The new locking mechanism involves taking a simple spinlock for normal "any" waits, and taking a device-wide mutex for "all" waits or when locking any object that is involved in an "all" wait. The mechanism was written by Peter Zijlstra. * Try to reword or clarify various parts of the documentation (patch 27), per Peter Zijlstra. * I did not rename NTSYNC_IOC_SEM_POST to RELEASE (like NT) although this was suggested by Peter Zijlstra, mostly because it's not clear to me that renaming an already committed ioctl would be fine. The API committed isn't actually usable yet, though, so if altering it would be fine on those grounds, I can revise this series to rename the function accordingly. * Similarly, I did not change the create ioctls to return the fd directly, although this was suggested and would be a bit simpler and cleaner, because NTSYNC_IOC_CREATE_SEM already exists upstream and returns the fd through a struct. I can make this change in the next revision if that'd be preferable. I also still would appreciate a clarification on the advice in [1].

[PATCH net-next v17 00/14] Device Memory TCP

by Mina Almasry

v17: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/list/?series=869900&state=* ==== v16 also got a very thorough review and some testing (thanks again!). Thes version addresses all the concerns reported on v15, in terms of feedback and issues reported. Major changes: - Use ASSERT_RTNL. - Moved around some of the page_pool helpers definitions so I can hide some netmem helpers in private files as Jakub suggested. - Don't make every net_iov hold a ref on the binding as Jakub suggested. - Fix issue reported by Taehee where we access queues after they have been freed. Full devmem TCP changes including the full GVE driver implementation is here: https://github.com/mina/linux/commits/tcpdevmem-v17/ v16: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/list/?series=866353&state=* ==== v15 got a thorough review and some testing, and this version addresses almost all the feedback. Some more minor comments where the authors said it could be done later, I left out.

RFC v7: ======= Major Changes: -------------- This revision largely rebases on top of net-next and addresses the feedback RFCv6 received from folks, namely Jakub, Yunsheng, Arnd, David, & Pavel. The series remains in RFC because the queue-API ndos defined in this series are not yet implemented. I have a GVE implementation I carry out of tree for my testing. A upstreamable GVE implementation is in the works. Aside from that, in my estimation all the patches are ready for review/merge. Please do take a look. As usual the full devmem TCP changes including the full GVE driver implementation is here: https://github.com/mina/linux/commits/tcpdevmem-v7/ Detailed changelog: - Use admin-perm in netlink API. - Addressed feedback from Jakub with regards to netlink API implementation. - Renamed devmem.c functions to something more appropriate for that file. - Improve the performance seen through the page_pool benchmark. - Fix the value definition of all the SO_DEVMEM_* uapi. - Various fixes to documentation. Perf - page-pool benchmark: --------------------------- Improved performance of bench_page_pool_simple.ko tests compared to v6: https://pastebin.com/raw/v5dYRg8L net-next base: 8 cycle fast path. RFC v6: 10 cycle fast path. RFC v7: 9 cycle fast path. RFC v7 with CONFIG_DMA_SHARED_BUFFER disabled: 8 cycle fast path, same as baseline. Perf - Devmem TCP benchmark: --------------------- Perf is about the same regardless of the changes in v7, namely the removal of the static_branch_unlikely to improve the page_pool benchmark performance: 189/200gbps bi-directional throughput with RX devmem TCP and regular TCP TX i.e. ~95% line rate. RFC v6: ======= Major Changes: -------------- This revision largely rebases on top of net-next and addresses the little feedback RFCv5 received. The series remains in RFC because the queue-API ndos defined in this series are not yet implemented. I have a GVE implementation I carry out of tree for my testing. A upstreamable GVE implementation is in the works. Aside from that, in my estimation all the patches are ready for review/merge. Please do take a look. As usual the full devmem TCP changes including the full GVE driver implementation is here: https://github.com/mina/linux/commits/tcpdevmem-v6/ This version also comes with some performance data recorded in the cover letter (see below changelog). Detailed changelog: - Rebased on top of the merged netmem_ref changes. - Converted skb->dmabuf to skb->readable (Pavel). Pavel's original suggestion was to remove the skb->dmabuf flag entirely, but when I looked into it closely, I found the issue that if we remove the flag we have to dereference the shinfo(skb) pointer to obtain the first frag to tell whether an skb is readable or not. This can cause a performance regression if it dirties the cache line when the shinfo(skb) was not really needed. Instead, I converted the skb->dmabuf flag into a generic skb->readable flag which can be re-used by io_uring 0-copy RX. - Squashed a few locking optimizations from Eric Dumazet in the RX path and the DEVMEM_DONTNEED setsockopt. - Expanded the tests a bit. Added validation for invalid scenarios and added some more coverage. Perf - page-pool benchmark: --------------------------- bench_page_pool_simple.ko tests with and without these changes: https://pastebin.com/raw/ncHDwAbn AFAIK the number that really matters in the perf tests is the 'tasklet_page_pool01_fast_path Per elem'. This one measures at about 8 cycles without the changes but there is some 1 cycle noise in some results. With the patches this regresses to 9 cycles with the changes but there is 1 cycle noise occasionally running this test repeatedly. Lastly I tried disable the static_branch_unlikely() in netmem_is_net_iov() check. To my surprise disabling the static_branch_unlikely() check reduces the fast path back to 8 cycles, but the 1 cycle noise remains. Perf - Devmem TCP benchmark: --------------------- 189/200gbps bi-directional throughput with RX devmem TCP and regular TCP TX i.e. ~95% line rate. Major changes in RFC v5: ======================== 1. Rebased on top of 'Abstract page from net stack' series and used the new netmem type to refer to LSB set pointers instead of re-using struct page. 2. Downgraded this series back to RFC and called it RFC v5. This is because this series is now dependent on 'Abstract page from net stack'[1] and the queue API. Both are removed from the series to reduce the patch # and those bits are fairly independent or pre-requisite work. 3. Reworked the page_pool devmem support to use netmem and for some more unified handling. 4. Reworked the reference counting of net_iov (renamed from page_pool_iov) to use pp_ref_count for refcounting. The full changes including the dependent series and GVE page pool support is here: https://github.com/mina/linux/commits/tcpdevmem-rfcv5/ [1] https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/list/?series=810774 Major changes in v1: ==================== 1. Implemented MVP queue API ndos to remove the userspace-visible driver reset. 2. Fixed issues in the napi_pp_put_page() devmem frag unref path. 3. Removed RFC tag. Many smaller addressed comments across all the patches (patches have individual change log). Full tree including the rest of the GVE driver changes: https://github.com/mina/linux/commits/tcpdevmem-v1 Changes in RFC v3: ================== 1. Pulled in the memory-provider dependency from Jakub's RFC[1] to make the series reviewable and mergeable. 2. Implemented multi-rx-queue binding which was a todo in v2. 3. Fix to cmsg handling. The sticking point in RFC v2[2] was the device reset required to refill the device rx-queues after the dmabuf bind/unbind. The solution suggested as I understand is a subset of the per-queue management ops Jakub suggested or similar: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20230815171638.4c057dcd@kernel.org/ This is not addressed in this revision, because: 1. This point was discussed at netconf & netdev and there is openness to using the current approach of requiring a device reset. 2. Implementing individual queue resetting seems to be difficult for my test bed with GVE. My prototype to test this ran into issues with the rx-queues not coming back up properly if reset individually. At the moment I'm unsure if it's a mistake in the POC or a genuine issue in the virtualization stack behind GVE, which currently doesn't test individual rx-queue restart. 3. Our usecases are not bothered by requiring a device reset to refill the buffer queues, and we'd like to support NICs that run into this limitation with resetting individual queues. My thought is that drivers that have trouble with per-queue configs can use the support in this series, while drivers that support new netdev ops to reset individual queues can automatically reset the queue as part of the dma-buf bind/unbind. The same approach with device resets is presented again for consideration with other sticking points addressed. This proposal includes the rx devmem path only proposed for merge. For a snapshot of my entire tree which includes the GVE POC page pool support & device memory support: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/compare/master...mina:linux:tcpdevmem-v3 [1] https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/f8270765-a27b-6ccf-33ea-cda097168d79@redhat.… [2] https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/CAHS8izOVJGJH5WF68OsRWFKJid1_huzzUK+hpKbLcL4… Changes in RFC v2: ================== The sticking point in RFC v1[1] was the dma-buf pages approach we used to deliver the device memory to the TCP stack. RFC v2 is a proof-of-concept that attempts to resolve this by implementing scatterlist support in the networking stack, such that we can import the dma-buf scatterlist directly. This is the approach proposed at a high level here[2]. Detailed changes: 1. Replaced dma-buf pages approach with importing scatterlist into the page pool. 2. Replace the dma-buf pages centric API with a netlink API. 3. Removed the TX path implementation - there is no issue with implementing the TX path with scatterlist approach, but leaving out the TX path makes it easier to review. 4. Functionality is tested with this proposal, but I have not conducted perf testing yet. I'm not sure there are regressions, but I removed perf claims from the cover letter until they can be re-confirmed. 5. Added Signed-off-by: contributors to the implementation. 6. Fixed some bugs with the RX path since RFC v1. Any feedback welcome, but specifically the biggest pending questions needing feedback IMO are: 1. Feedback on the scatterlist-based approach in general. 2. Netlink API (Patch 1 & 2). 3. Approach to handle all the drivers that expect to receive pages from the page pool (Patch 6). [1] https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/dfe4bae7-13a0-3c5d-d671-f61b375cb0b4@gmail.c… [2] https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/CAHS8izPm6XRS54LdCDZVd0C75tA1zHSu6jLVO8nzTLX… ================== * TL;DR: Device memory TCP (devmem TCP) is a proposal for transferring data to and/or from device memory efficiently, without bouncing the data to a host memory buffer. * Problem: A large amount of data transfers have device memory as the source and/or destination. Accelerators drastically increased the volume of such transfers. Some examples include: - ML accelerators transferring large amounts of training data from storage into GPU/TPU memory. In some cases ML training setup time can be as long as 50% of TPU compute time, improving data transfer throughput & efficiency can help improving GPU/TPU utilization. - Distributed training, where ML accelerators, such as GPUs on different hosts, exchange data among them. - Distributed raw block storage applications transfer large amounts of data with remote SSDs, much of this data does not require host processing. Today, the majority of the Device-to-Device data transfers the network are implemented as the following low level operations: Device-to-Host copy, Host-to-Host network transfer, and Host-to-Device copy. The implementation is suboptimal, especially for bulk data transfers, and can put significant strains on system resources, such as host memory bandwidth, PCIe bandwidth, etc. One important reason behind the current state is the kernel’s lack of semantics to express device to network transfers. * Proposal: In this patch series we attempt to optimize this use case by implementing socket APIs that enable the user to: 1. send device memory across the network directly, and 2. receive incoming network packets directly into device memory. Packet _payloads_ go directly from the NIC to device memory for receive and from device memory to NIC for transmit. Packet _headers_ go to/from host memory and are processed by the TCP/IP stack normally. The NIC _must_ support header split to achieve this. Advantages: - Alleviate host memory bandwidth pressure, compared to existing network-transfer + device-copy semantics. - Alleviate PCIe BW pressure, by limiting data transfer to the lowest level of the PCIe tree, compared to traditional path which sends data through the root complex. * Patch overview: ** Part 1: netlink API Gives user ability to bind dma-buf to an RX queue. ** Part 2: scatterlist support Currently the standard for device memory sharing is DMABUF, which doesn't generate struct pages. On the other hand, networking stack (skbs, drivers, and page pool) operate on pages. We have 2 options: 1. Generate struct pages for dmabuf device memory, or, 2. Modify the networking stack to process scatterlist. Approach #1 was attempted in RFC v1. RFC v2 implements approach #2. ** part 3: page pool support We piggy back on page pool memory providers proposal: https://github.com/kuba-moo/linux/tree/pp-providers It allows the page pool to define a memory provider that provides the page allocation and freeing. It helps abstract most of the device memory TCP changes from the driver. ** part 4: support for unreadable skb frags Page pool iovs are not accessible by the host; we implement changes throughput the networking stack to correctly handle skbs with unreadable frags. ** Part 5: recvmsg() APIs We define user APIs for the user to send and receive device memory. Not included with this series is the GVE devmem TCP support, just to simplify the review. Code available here if desired: https://github.com/mina/linux/tree/tcpdevmem This series is built on top of net-next with Jakub's pp-providers changes cherry-picked. * NIC dependencies: 1. (strict) Devmem TCP require the NIC to support header split, i.e. the capability to split incoming packets into a header + payload and to put each into a separate buffer. Devmem TCP works by using device memory for the packet payload, and host memory for the packet headers. 2. (optional) Devmem TCP works better with flow steering support & RSS support, i.e. the NIC's ability to steer flows into certain rx queues. This allows the sysadmin to enable devmem TCP on a subset of the rx queues, and steer devmem TCP traffic onto these queues and non devmem TCP elsewhere. The NIC I have access to with these properties is the GVE with DQO support running in Google Cloud, but any NIC that supports these features would suffice. I may be able to help reviewers bring up devmem TCP on their NICs. * Testing: The series includes a udmabuf kselftest that show a simple use case of devmem TCP and validates the entire data path end to end without a dependency on a specific dmabuf provider. ** Test Setup Kernel: net-next with this series and memory provider API cherry-picked locally. Hardware: Google Cloud A3 VMs. NIC: GVE with header split & RSS & flow steering support.

[RFC PATCH 0/1] Add kselftest to detect boot event slowdowns

by Laura Nao

Add a new kselftest to detect and report slowdowns in key boot events. The test uses ftrace to track timings for specific boot events and compares these timestamps against reference values provided in YAML format. The test includes the following files: - `bootconfig` file: configures ftrace and lists reference key boot events. - `config` fragment: enables boot time tracing and attaches the bootconfig file to the kernel image. - `kprobe_timestamps_to_yaml.py` script: parses the current trace file to extract event names and timestamps and writes them to a YAML file. The script is intended to be run once to generate initial reference values; the generated file is not meant to be stored in the kernel sources but should be provided as input to the test itself. YAML format was chosen to allow easy integration with per-platform data used in other tests, such as the discoverable devices probe test in tools/testing/selftests/devices. Another option is to use JSON, as the file is not intended for manual editing and JSON is already supported by the Python standard library. - `test_boot_time.py` script: parses the current trace file and compares timestamps against the values in the YAML file provided as input. Reports a failure if any timestamp differs from the reference value by more than the specified delta. - `trace_utils.py` file: utility functions to mount debugfs and parse the trace file to extract relevant information. The bootconfig file provided is an initial draft with some reference kprobe events to showcase how the test works. I would appreciate feedback from those interested in running this test on which boot events should be added. Different key events might be relevant depending on the platform and its boot time requirements. This file should serve as a common ground and be populated with critical events and functions common to different platforms. Feedback on the overall approach of this test and suggestions for additional boot events to trace would be greatly appreciated. Example output with a deliberately small delta of 0.01 to demonstrate failures: TAP version 13 1..4 ok 1 populate_rootfs_begin # 'run_init_process_begin' differs by 0.033990 seconds. not ok 2 run_init_process_begin # 'run_init_process_end' differs by 0.033796 seconds. not ok 3 run_init_process_end ok 4 unpack_to_rootfs_begin # Totals: pass:2 fail:2 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:0 error:0 This patch depends on "kselftest: Move ksft helper module to common directory": https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240705-dev-err-log-selftest-v2-2-163b9cd7b3c1… which was picked through the usb tree and is queued for 6.11-rc1.

Converting kselftest test modules to kunit

by Muhammad Usama Anjum

Hi Kees and All, There are several tests in kselftest subsystem which load modules to tests the internals of the kernel. Most of these test modules are just loaded by the kselftest, their status isn't read and reported to the user logs. Hence they don't provide benefit of executing those tests. I've found patches from Kees where he has been converting such kselftests to kunit tests [1]. The probable motivation is to move tests output of kselftest subsystem which only triggers tests without correctly reporting the results. On the other hand, kunit is there to test the kernel's internal functions which can't be done by userspace. Kselftest: Test user facing APIs from userspace Kunit: Test kernel's internal functions from kernelspace This brings me to conclusion that kselftest which are loading modules to test kernelspace should be converted to kunit tests. I've noted several such kselftests. This is just my understanding. Please mention if I'm correct above or more reasons to support kselftest test modules transformation into kunit test.
