2020-06-08lib/test_sysctl: support testing of sysctl. boot parameterVlastimil Babka
Testing is done by a new parameter debug.test_sysctl.boot_int which defaults to 0 and it's expected that the tester passes a boot parameter that sets it to 1. The test checks if it's set to 1. To distinguish true failure from parameter not being set, the test checks /proc/cmdline for the expected parameter, and whether test_sysctl is built-in and not a module.

2020-06-02selftests/sysctl: Fix to load test_sysctl moduleMasami Hiramatsu
Fix to load test_sysctl.ko module correctly. sysctl.sh checks whether the test module is embedded (or loaded already) or not at first, and if not, it returns skip error instead of trying modprobe. Thus, there is no chance to load the test_sysctl test module. Instead, this removes that module embedded check and returns skip error only if it ensures that there is no embedded test module *and* no loadable test module. This also avoid referring config file since that is not installed.

2019-05-14tools/testing/selftests/sysctl/sysctl.sh: add proc_do_large_bitmap() test caseEric Sandeen
The kernel has only two users of proc_do_large_bitmap(), the kernel CPU watchdog, and the ip_local_reserved_ports. Refer to watchdog_cpumask and ip_local_reserved_ports in Documentation for further details on these. When you input a large buffer into these, when it is larger than PAGE_SIZE- 1, the input data gets misparsed, and the user get incorrectly informed that the desired input value was set. This commit implements a test which mimics and exploits that use case, it uses a bitmap size, as in the watchdog case. The bitmap is used to test the bitmap proc handler, proc_do_large_bitmap(). The next commit fixes this issue.

2019-05-14tools/testing/selftests/sysctl/sysctl.sh: allow graceful use on older kernelsLuis Chamberlain
On old kernels older new test knobs implemented on the test_sysctl module may not be available. This is expected, and the selftests test scripts should be able to run without failures on older kernels. Generalize a solution so that we test for each required test target file for each test by requiring each test description to annotate their respective test target file. If the target file does not exist, we skip the test gracefully.

2019-05-14tools/testing/selftests/sysctl/sysctl.sh: ignore diff output on verify_diff_w()Luis Chamberlain
When verify_diff_w() is used we care about the result, not the verbose output, and although we use -q, that still gives us a chatty message about if the files differ or not. Since verify_diff_w() uses stdinput the chatty message says whether or not "-" matches the target file, and this just seems rather odd. Better to just ignore that messsage all together, what we really care about i sthe results, the return value and we check for that.

2019-05-14tools/testing/selftests/sysctl/sysctl.sh: remove superfluous test_reqs()Luis Chamberlain
Patch series "sysctl: add pending proc_do_large_bitmap fix". Eric sent a fix out for proc_do_large_bitmap() last month for when using a large input buffer. After patch review a test case for the issue was built and submitted. I noticed there were a few issues with the tests, but instead of just asking Eric to address them I've taken care of them and ammended the commit where necessary. There's a few issues he reported which I also address and fix in this series. Since we *do* expect users of these scripts to also use them on older kernels, I've also addressed not breaking calling the script for them, and gives us an easy way to easily extend our tests cases for future kernels as well. Before anyone considers these for stable as minor fixes, I'd recommend we also address the discrepancy on the read side of things: modify the test script to use diff against the target file instead of using the temp file. This patch (of 6): We already call test_reqs(), no need to call it twice.

written to 32-bit integers Patch series "sysctl: fix range-checking in do_proc_dointvec_minmax_conv()", v2. After being left with an unusable system after a typo executing something like 'echo $((1<<24)) > /proc/sys/vm/max_map_count', I found that do_proc_dointvec_minmax_conv() was missing a check to ensure that the converted value actually fits in an int. The first of the following patches enhances the sysctl selftest such that it detects this problem; the second provides a minimal fix (suitable for -stable) such that the selftest passes. The third patch then performs a more thorough refactoring to eliminate the code duplication that led to the bug in the first place (maintaining the passing status of the selftest). This patch (of 3): At present this exposes a bug in do_proc_dointvec_minmax_conv() (it fails to check for values that are too wide to fit in an int).

2018-06-18selftests: sysctl: return Kselftest Skip code for skipped testsShuah Khan (Samsung OSG)
When sysctl test is skipped because of unmet dependencies and/or unsupported configuration, it exits with error which is treated as a fail by the Kselftest framework. This leads to false negative result even when the test could not be run. Change it to return kselftest skip code when a test gets skipped to clearly report that the test could not be run. Changed return code to kselftest skip code in skip error legs that check requirements and module probe test error leg. Kselftest framework SKIP code is 4 and the framework prints appropriate messages to indicate that the test is skipped.

We can now watch a test case until it fails: ./sysctl.sh -w 0002 We can also run a test case x number of times, say we want to run a test case 100 times: ./sysctl.sh -c 0001 100 To run a test case only once, for example: ./sysctl.sh -s 0002 The default settings are specified at the top of sysctl.sh.

2017-07-12test_sysctl: add dedicated proc sysctl test driverLuis R. Rodriguez
The existing tools/testing/selftests/sysctl/ tests include two test cases, but these use existing production kernel sysctl interfaces. We want to expand test coverage but we can't just be looking for random safe production values to poke at, that's just insane! Instead just dedicate a test driver for debugging purposes and port the existing scripts to use it. This will make it easier for further tests to be added. Subsequent patches will extend our test coverage for sysctl. The stress test driver uses a new license (GPL on Linux, copyleft-next outside of Linux). Linus was fine with this [0] and later due to Ted's and Alans's request ironed out an "or" language clause to use [1] which is already present upstream.

2015-03-13selftests: Add install targetMichael Ellerman
This adds make install support to selftests. The basic usage is: $ cd tools/testing/selftests $ make install That installs into tools/testing/selftests/install, which can then be copied where ever necessary. The install destination is also configurable using eg: $ INSTALL_PATH=/mnt/selftests make install The implementation uses two targets in the child makefiles. The first "install" is expected to install all files into $(INSTALL_PATH). The second, "emit_tests", is expected to emit the test instructions (ie. bash script) on stdout. Separating this from install means the child makefiles need no knowledge of the location of the test script.

2015-03-13selftests: Introduce minimal shared logic for running testsMichael Ellerman
This adds a Make include file which most selftests can then include to get the run_tests logic. On its own this has the advantage of some reduction in repetition, and also means the pass/fail message is defined in fewer places. However the key advantage is it will allow us to implement install very simply in a subsequent patch. The default implementation just executes each program in $(TEST_PROGS). We use a variable to hold the default implementation of $(RUN_TESTS) because that gives us a clean way to override it if necessary, ie. using override. The mount, memory-hotplug and mqueue tests use that to provide a different implementation. Tests are not run via /bin/bash, so if they are scripts they must be executable, we add a+x to several.
