[PATCH net v2] selftests: net: fix "buffer overflow detected" for tap.c

by Alice C. Munduruca

When the selftest 'tap.c' is compiled with '-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=3', the strcpy() in rtattr_add_strsz() is replaced with a checked version which causes the test to consistently fail when compiled with toolchains for which this option is enabled by default. TAP version 13 1..3 # Starting 3 tests from 1 test cases. # RUN tap.test_packet_valid_udp_gso ... *** buffer overflow detected ***: terminated # test_packet_valid_udp_gso: Test terminated by assertion # FAIL tap.test_packet_valid_udp_gso not ok 1 tap.test_packet_valid_udp_gso # RUN tap.test_packet_valid_udp_csum ... *** buffer overflow detected ***: terminated # test_packet_valid_udp_csum: Test terminated by assertion # FAIL tap.test_packet_valid_udp_csum not ok 2 tap.test_packet_valid_udp_csum # RUN tap.test_packet_crash_tap_invalid_eth_proto ... *** buffer overflow detected ***: terminated # test_packet_crash_tap_invalid_eth_proto: Test terminated by assertion # FAIL tap.test_packet_crash_tap_invalid_eth_proto not ok 3 tap.test_packet_crash_tap_invalid_eth_proto # FAILED: 0 / 3 tests passed. # Totals: pass:0 fail:3 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:0 error:0 A buffer overflow is detected by the fortified glibc __strcpy_chk() since the __builtin_object_size() of `RTA_DATA(rta)` is incorrectly reported as 1, even though there is ample space in its bounding buffer `req`. Using the unchecked function memcpy() here instead allows us to match the way rtattr_add_str() is written while avoiding the spurious test failure.

[PATCH v3 0/3] KVM ARM64 pre_fault_memory

by Jack Thomson

From: Jack Thomson <jackabt(a)amazon.com> This patch series adds ARM64 support for the KVM_PRE_FAULT_MEMORY feature, which was previously only available on x86 [1]. This allows us to reduce the number of stage-2 faults during execution. This is of benefit in post-copy migration scenarios, particularly in memory intensive applications, where we are experiencing high latencies due to the stage-2 faults. Patch Overview: - The first patch adds support for the KVM_PRE_FAULT_MEMORY ioctl on arm64. - The second patch updates the pre_fault_memory_test to support arm64. - The last patch extends the pre_fault_memory_test to cover different vm memory backings. === Changes Since v2 [2] === - Update fault info synthesize value. Thanks Suzuki - Remove change to selftests for unaligned mmap allocations. Thanks Sean [1]: https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/20240710174031.312055-1-pbonzini@redhat.com [2]: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20251013151502.6679-1-jackabt.amaz… Jack Thomson (3): KVM: arm64: Add pre_fault_memory implementation KVM: selftests: Enable pre_fault_memory_test for arm64 KVM: selftests: Add option for different backing in pre-fault tests Documentation/virt/kvm/api.rst | 3 +- arch/arm64/kvm/Kconfig | 1 + arch/arm64/kvm/arm.c | 1 + arch/arm64/kvm/mmu.c | 73 +++++++++++- tools/testing/selftests/kvm/Makefile.kvm | 1 + .../selftests/kvm/pre_fault_memory_test.c | 110 ++++++++++++++---- 6 files changed, 159 insertions(+), 30 deletions(-) base-commit: 8a4821412cf2c1429fffa07c012dd150f2edf78c -- 2.43.0

[PATCH 0/3] selftests/futex: fix the issue of abnormal test results caused by thread timing

by Yuwen Chen

On the Android arm32 platform, when performing the futex_requeue test, it will most likely return a failure. The specific reason is detailed in a commit[1] previously submitted by Edward Liaw. However, this commit cannot perfectly solve the problem. This is because using a barrier does not guarantee that the child thread will wait on futex_wait. This series of patches attempts to solve this problem by checking whether the child thread is in a sleeping state. This is because when the child thread goes to sleep, it indicates that it is waiting for the futex lock. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240918231102.234253-1-edliaw@google.com/

[PATCH v5 0/9] riscv: vector: misc ptrace fixes for debug use-cases

by Sergey Matyukevich

This patch series suggests fixes for several corner cases in the RISC-V vector ptrace implementation: - init vector context with proper vlenb, to avoid reading zero vlenb by an early attached debugger - follow gdbserver expectations and return ENODATA instead of EINVAL if vector extension is supported but not yet activated for the traced process - validate input vector csr registers in ptrace, to maintain an accurate view of the tracee's vector context across multiple halt/resume debug cycles For detailed description see the appropriate commit messages. A new test suite validate_v_ptrace is added to the tools/testing/selftests/riscv/vector to verify some of the vector ptrace functionality and corner cases. So far tested on the following platforms: - test in QEMU rv32/rv64 - test on c908 (BananaPi CanMV K230D Zero) - test on c906 (MangoPi MQ Pro) Previous versions: - v4: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-riscv/20251108194207.1257866-1-geomatsi@gmail… - v3: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-riscv/20251025210655.43099-1-geomatsi@gmail.c… - v2: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-riscv/20250821173957.563472-1-geomatsi@gmail.… - v1: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-riscv/20251007115840.2320557-1-geomatsi@gmail… Changes in v5: - add support and minimal set of tests for XTheadVector Changes in v4: The form 'vsetvli x0, x0, ...' can only be used if VLMAX remains unchanged, see spec 6.2. This condition was not met by the initial values in the selftests w.r.t. the initial zeroed context. QEMU accepted such values, but actual hardware (c908, BananaPi CanMV Zero board) did not, setting vill. So fix the selftests after testing on hardware: - replace 'vsetvli x0, x0, ...' by 'vsetvli rd, x0, ...' - fixed instruction returns VLMAX, so use it in checks as well - replace fixed vlenb == 16 in the syscall test Changes in v3: Address the review comments by Andy Chiu and rework the approach: - drop forced vector context save entirely - perform strict validation of vector csr regs in ptrace Changes in v2: - add thread_info flag to allow to force vector context save - force vector context save after vector ptrace to ensure valid vector context in the next ptrace operations - force vector context save on the first context switch after vector context init to get proper vlenb --- Ilya Mamay (1): riscv: ptrace: return ENODATA for inactive vector extension Sergey Matyukevich (8): riscv: vector: init vector context with proper vlenb riscv: csr: define vtype register elements riscv: ptrace: validate input vector csr registers selftests: riscv: test ptrace vector interface selftests: riscv: verify initial vector state with ptrace selftests: riscv: verify syscalls discard vector context selftests: riscv: verify ptrace rejects invalid vector csr inputs selftests: riscv: verify ptrace accepts valid vector csr values arch/riscv/include/asm/csr.h | 17 + arch/riscv/kernel/ptrace.c | 98 +- arch/riscv/kernel/vector.c | 12 +- .../testing/selftests/riscv/vector/.gitignore | 2 + tools/testing/selftests/riscv/vector/Makefile | 10 +- .../selftests/riscv/vector/v_helpers.c | 23 + .../selftests/riscv/vector/v_helpers.h | 2 + .../riscv/vector/validate_v_ptrace.c | 919 ++++++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 1075 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) create mode 100644 tools/testing/selftests/riscv/vector/validate_v_ptrace.c base-commit: 8f0b4cce4481fb22653697cced8d0d04027cb1e8 -- 2.52.0

[PATCH net-next v7 0/9] Add support for providers with large rx buffer

by Pavel Begunkov

Note: it's net/ only bits and doesn't include changes, which shoulf be merged separately and are posted separately. The full branch for convenience is at [1], and the patch is here: https://lore.kernel.org/io-uring/7486ab32e99be1f614b3ef8d0e9bc77015b173f7.1… Many modern NICs support configurable receive buffer lengths, and zcrx and memory providers can use buffers larger than 4K/PAGE_SIZE on x86 to improve performance. When paired with hw-gro larger rx buffer sizes can drastically reduce the number of buffers traversing the stack and save a lot of processing time. It also allows to give to users larger contiguous chunks of data. The idea was first floated around by Saeed during netdev conf 2024 and was asked about by a few folks. Single stream benchmarks showed up to ~30% CPU util improvement. E.g. comparison for 4K vs 32K buffers using a 200Gbit NIC: packets=23987040 (MB=2745098), rps=199559 (MB/s=22837) CPU %usr %nice %sys %iowait %irq %soft %idle 0 1.53 0.00 27.78 2.72 1.31 66.45 0.22 packets=24078368 (MB=2755550), rps=200319 (MB/s=22924) CPU %usr %nice %sys %iowait %irq %soft %idle 0 0.69 0.00 8.26 31.65 1.83 57.00 0.57 This series adds net infrastructure for memory providers configuring the size and implements it for bnxt. It's an opt-in feature for drivers, they should advertise support for the parameter in the qops and must check if the hardware supports the given size. It's limited to memory providers as it drastically simplifies implementation. It doesn't affect the fast path zcrx uAPI, and the sizes is defined in zcrx terms, which allows it to be flexible and adjusted in the future, see Patch 8 for details.
