selftests/resctrl: Fix null pointer dereference on open failed

2022-04-26T15:20:00Z

Currently if opening /dev/null fails to open then file pointer fp is null and further access to fp via fprintf will cause a null pointer dereference. Fix this by returning a negative error value when a null fp is detected. Detected using cppcheck static analysis: tools/testing/selftests/resctrl/fill_buf.c:124:6: note: Assuming that condition '!fp' is not redundant if (!fp) ^ tools/testing/selftests/resctrl/fill_buf.c:126:10: note: Null pointer dereference fprintf(fp, "Sum: %d ", ret); Fixes: a2561b12fe39 ("selftests/resctrl: Add built in benchmark") Signed-off-by: Colin Ian King Signed-off-by: Shuah Khan

selftests/resctrl: Clean up resctrl features check

2021-04-02T19:51:36Z

Checking resctrl features call strcmp() to compare feature strings (e.g. "mba", "cat" etc). The checkings are error prone and don't have good coding style. Define the constant strings in macros and call strncmp() to solve the potential issues. Suggested-by: Shuah Khan Tested-by: Babu Moger Signed-off-by: Fenghua Yu Signed-off-by: Shuah Khan

selftests/resctrl: Add Cache Allocation Technology (CAT) selftest

2020-02-11T01:43:07Z

Cache Allocation Technology (CAT) selftest allocates a portion of last level cache and starts a benchmark to read each cache line in this portion of cache. Measure the cache misses in perf and the misses should be equal to the number of cache lines in this portion of cache. We don't use CQM to calculate cache usage because some CAT enabled platforms don't have CQM.

selftests/resctrl: Add built in benchmark

2020-02-11T01:38:39Z

Built-in benchmark fill_buf generates stressful memory bandwidth and cache traffic. Later it will be used as a default benchmark by various resctrl tests such as MBA (Memory Bandwidth Allocation) and MBM (Memory Bandwidth Monitoring) tests.
