2021-01-18	selftests/fpu: Fix debugfs_simple_attr.cocci warning	kernel test robot	1	-3/+3
	lib/test_fpu.c:66:0-23: WARNING: test_fpu_fops should be defined with DEFINE_DEBUGFS_ATTRIBUTE Use DEFINE_DEBUGFS_ATTRIBUTE rather than DEFINE_SIMPLE_ATTRIBUTE for debugfs files. Semantic patch information: Rationale: DEFINE_SIMPLE_ATTRIBUTE + debugfs_create_file() imposes some significant overhead as compared to DEFINE_DEBUGFS_ATTRIBUTE + debugfs_create_file_unsafe(). In order to protect against file removal races, debugfs files created via debugfs_create_file() now get wrapped by a struct file_operations at their opening. If the original struct file_operations are known to be safe against removal races by themselves already, the proxy creation may be bypassed by creating the files through debugfs_create_file_unsafe(). In order to help debugfs users who use the common DEFINE_SIMPLE_ATTRIBUTE() + debugfs_create_file() idiom to transition to removal safe struct file_operations, the helper macro DEFINE_DEBUGFS_ATTRIBUTE() has been introduced. Thus, the preferred strategy is to use DEFINE_DEBUGFS_ATTRIBUTE() + debugfs_create_file_unsafe() now.

2020-06-29	selftests/fpu: Add an FPU selftest	Petteri Aimonen	1	-0/+89
	Add a selftest for the usage of FPU code in kernel mode. Currently only implemented for x86. In the future, kernel FPU testing could be unified between the different architectures supporting it. [ bp: - Split out from a conglomerate patch, put comments over statements. - run the test only on debugfs write. - Add bare-minimum run_test_fpu.sh, run 1000 iterations on all CPUs by default. - Add conditionally -msse2 so that clang doesn't generate library calls. - Use cc-option to detect gcc 7.1 not supporting -mpreferred-stack-boundary=3 (amluto). - Document stuff so that we don't forget. - Fix: ld: lib/test_fpu.o: in function `test_fpu_get': >> test_fpu.c:(.text+0x16e): undefined reference to `__sanitizer_cov_trace_cmpd' >> ld: test_fpu.c:(.text+0x1a7): undefined reference to `__sanitizer_cov_trace_cmpd' ld: test_fpu.c:(.text+0x1e0): undefined reference to `__sanitizer_cov_trace_cmpd' ] Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Petteri Aimonen <jpa@git.mail.kapsi.fi> Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de> Reviewed-by: Nick Desaulniers <ndesaulniers@google.com> Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200624114646.28953-3-bp@alien8.de
