[PATCH RESEND] selftests/futex: skip tests if shmget unsupported

by Carlos Llamas

On systems where the shmget() syscall is not supported, tests like anon_page and shared_waitv will fail. Skip these tests in such cases to allow the rest of the test suite to run.

[PATCH net v5 0/3] mptcp: Fix conflicts between MPTCP and sockmap

by Jiayuan Chen

Overall, we encountered a warning [1] that can be triggered by running the selftest I provided. sockmap works by replacing sk_data_ready, recvmsg, sendmsg operations and implementing fast socket-level forwarding logic: 1. Users can obtain file descriptors through userspace socket()/accept() interfaces, then call BPF syscall to perform these replacements. 2. Users can also use the bpf_sock_hash_update helper (in sockops programs) to replace handlers when TCP connections enter ESTABLISHED state (BPF_SOCK_OPS_PASSIVE_ESTABLISHED_CB/BPF_SOCK_OPS_ACTIVE_ESTABLISHED_CB) However, when combined with MPTCP, an issue arises: MPTCP creates subflow sk's and performs TCP handshakes, so the BPF program obtains subflow sk's and may incorrectly replace their sk_prot. We need to reject such operations. In patch 1, we set psock_update_sk_prot to NULL in the subflow's custom sk_prot. Additionally, if the server's listening socket has MPTCP enabled and the client's TCP also uses MPTCP, we should allow the combination of subflow and sockmap. This is because the latest Golang programs have enabled MPTCP for listening sockets by default [2]. For programs already using sockmap, upgrading Golang should not cause sockmap functionality to fail. Patch 2 prevents the WARNING from occurring. Despite these patches fixing stream corruption, users of sockmap must set GODEBUG=multipathtcp=0 to disable MPTCP until sockmap fully supports it.

In fact, we do run some of those tests in the CI; i.e. https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/5453031#external We added this: https://github.com/os-autoinst/openQA/blob/master/lib/OpenQA/Parser/Format/… to our CI but frankly the use of the KTAP across the selftests is very inconsistent, so we need to post-process some of the output files quite a lot. Therefore the more standardized the output, the better for any CI. Small ask: should we amend the commit message to say KTAP? That being said - the cgroups tests produce nice output which is easy to parse and gives us no issues in our CI apart from the shell tests, specifically test_cpuset_prs.sh. We currently run the cgroup tests only internally because some of them tend to fail when crossing resource-usage boundaries and don’t provide clear information about by how much. That ties into my earlier effort Michal linked here:: https://lore.kernel.org/all/rua6ubri67gh3b7atarbm5mggqgjyh6646mzkry2n2547jn… I’ll try to add the cgroup tests to the public openSUSE CI and will test your patches. > > TAP provides a structured format that is both human-readable and machine-readable.

[PATCH v4 0/3] VMM can handle guest SEA via KVM_EXIT_ARM_SEA

by Jiaqi Yan

Problem ======= When host APEI is unable to claim a synchronous external abort (SEA) during guest abort, today KVM directly injects an asynchronous SError into the VCPU then resumes it. The injected SError usually results in unpleasant guest kernel panic. One of the major situation of guest SEA is when VCPU consumes recoverable uncorrected memory error (UER), which is not uncommon at all in modern datacenter servers with large amounts of physical memory. Although SError and guest panic is sufficient to stop the propagation of corrupted memory, there is room to recover from an UER in a more graceful manner. Proposed Solution ================= The idea is, we can replay the SEA to the faulting VCPU. If the memory error consumption or the fault that cause SEA is not from guest kernel, the blast radius can be limited to the poison-consuming guest process, while the VM can keep running. In addition, instead of doing under the hood without involving userspace, there are benefits to redirect the SEA to VMM: - VM customers care about the disruptions caused by memory errors, and VMM usually has the responsibility to start the process of notifying the customers of memory error events in their VMs. For example some cloud provider emits a critical log in their observability UI [1], and provides a playbook for customers on how to mitigate disruptions to their workloads. - VMM can protect future memory error consumption by unmapping the poisoned pages from stage-2 page table with KVM userfault [2], or by splitting the memslot that contains the poisoned pages. - VMM can keep track of SEA events in the VM. When VMM thinks the status on the host or the VM is bad enough, e.g. number of distinct SEAs exceeds a threshold, it can restart the VM on another healthy host. - Behavior parity with x86 architecture. When machine check exception (MCE) is caused by VCPU, kernel or KVM signals userspace SIGBUS to let VMM either recover from the MCE, or terminate itself with VM. The prior RFC proposes to implement SIGBUS on arm64 as well, but Marc preferred KVM exit over signal [3]. However, implementation aside, returning SEA to VMM is on par with returning MCE to VMM. Once SEA is redirected to VMM, among other actions, VMM is encouraged to inject external aborts into the faulting VCPU. New UAPIs ========= This patchset introduces following userspace-visible changes to empower VMM to control what happens for SEA on guest memory: - KVM_CAP_ARM_SEA_TO_USER. While taking SEA, if userspace has enabled this new capability at VM creation, and the SEA is not owned by kernel allocated memory, instead of injecting SError, return KVM_EXIT_ARM_SEA to userspace. - KVM_EXIT_ARM_SEA. This is the VM exit reason VMM gets. The details about the SEA is provided in arm_sea as much as possible, including sanitized ESR value at EL2, faulting guest virtual and physical addresses if available. * From v3 [4] - Rebased on commit 3a8660878839 ("Linux 6.18-rc1"). - In selftest, print a message if GVA or GPA expects to be valid. * From v2 [5]: - Rebased on "[PATCH] KVM: arm64: nv: Handle SEAs due to VNCR redirection" [6] and kvmarm/next commit 7b8346bd9fce6 ("KVM: arm64: Don't attempt vLPI mappings when vPE allocation is disabled") - Took the host_owns_sea implementation from Oliver [7, 8]. - Excluded the guest SEA injection patches. - Updated selftest. * From v1 [9]: - Rebased on commit 4d62121ce9b5 ("KVM: arm64: vgic-debug: Avoid dereferencing NULL ITE pointer"). - Sanitize ESR_EL2 before reporting it to userspace. - Do not do KVM_EXIT_ARM_SEA when SEA is caused by memory allocated to stage-2 translation table.

[PATCH v9 0/9] liveupdate: Rework KHO for in-kernel users

by Pasha Tatashin

Changelog: v9: Added review-bys and addressed comments from Mike Rapoport and Pratyush Yadav. Dropped patch that moves abort/finalize to public header per Mike's request. Added patch from Zhu Yanjun to output errors by name. This series appliyes against akpm's mm-unstable branch. This series refactors the KHO framework to better support in-kernel users like the upcoming LUO. The current design, which relies on a notifier chain and debugfs for control, is too restrictive for direct programmatic use. The core of this rework is the removal of the notifier chain in favor of a direct registration API. This decouples clients from the shutdown-time finalization sequence, allowing them to manage their preserved state more flexibly and at any time. In support of this new model, this series also: - Makes the debugfs interface optional. - Introduces APIs to unpreserve memory and fixes a bug in the abort path where client state was being incorrectly discarded. Note that this is an interim step, as a more comprehensive fix is planned as part of the stateless KHO work [1]. - Moves all KHO code into a new kernel/liveupdate/ directory to consolidate live update components.

[PATCH] selftests/iommu: Fix array-bounds warning in get_hw_info

by Nirbhay Sharma

GCC warns about potential out-of-bounds access when the test provides a buffer smaller than struct iommu_test_hw_info: iommufd_utils.h:817:37: warning: array subscript 'struct iommu_test_hw_info[0]' is partly outside array bounds of 'struct iommu_test_hw_info_buffer_smaller[1]' [-Warray-bounds=] 817 | assert(!info->flags); | ~~~~^~~~~~~ The warning occurs because 'info' is cast to a pointer to the full 8-byte struct at the top of the function, but the buffer_smaller test case passes only a 4-byte buffer. While the code correctly checks data_len before accessing each field, GCC's flow analysis with inlining doesn't recognize that the size check protects the access. Fix this by accessing fields through appropriately-typed pointers that match the actual field sizes (__u32), declared only after the bounds check. This makes the relationship between the size check and memory access explicit to the compiler.

[PATCH v2] selftests/mm/uffd: remove static address usage in shmem_allocate_area()

by Mehdi Ben Hadj Khelifa

The current shmem_allocate_area() implementation uses a hardcoded virtual base address (BASE_PMD_ADDR) as a hint for mmap() when creating shmem-backed test areas. This approach is fragile and may fail on systems with ASLR or different virtual memory layouts, where the chosen address is unavailable. Replace the static base address with a dynamically reserved address range obtained via mmap(NULL, ..., PROT_NONE). The memfd-backed areas and their alias are then mapped into that reserved region using MAP_FIXED, preserving the original layout and aliasing semantics while avoiding collisions with unrelated mappings. This change improves robustness and portability of the test suite without altering its behavior or coverage.
