selftests/powerpc: Add uaccess flush test

2021-04-22T15:38:03Z

Also based on the RFI and entry flush tests, it counts the L1D misses by doing a syscall that does user access: uname, in this case.

selftests/powerpc: Fix L1D flushing tests for Power10

2021-03-24T03:09:29Z

The rfi_flush and entry_flush selftests work by using the PM_LD_MISS_L1 perf event to count L1D misses. The value of this event has changed over time: - Power7 uses 0x400f0 - Power8 and Power9 use both 0x400f0 and 0x3e054 - Power10 uses only 0x3e054 Rather than relying on raw values, configure perf to count L1D read misses in the most explicit way available. This fixes the selftests to work on systems without 0x400f0 as PM_LD_MISS_L1, and should change no behaviour for systems that the tests already worked on. The only potential downside is that referring to a specific perf event requires PMU support implemented in the kernel for that platform.

selftests/powerpc: refactor entry and rfi_flush tests

2020-11-19T12:47:23Z

For simplicity in backporting, the original entry_flush test contained a lot of duplicated code from the rfi_flush test. De-duplicate that code. Signed-off-by: Daniel Axtens Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman
