2020-09-08	selftests/powerpc: Don't run DSCR tests on old systems	Michael Ellerman	1	-0/+2
	The DSCR tests fail on systems that don't have DSCR, so check for the DSCR in hwcap and skip if it's not present. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200819015727.1977134-5-mpe@ellerman.id.au

2017-10-25	locking/atomics, selftests/powerpc: Convert ACCESS_ONCE() to READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE()	Mark Rutland	1	-1/+1
	For several reasons, it is desirable to use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() in preference to ACCESS_ONCE(), and new code is expected to use one of the former. So far, there's been no reason to change most existing uses of ACCESS_ONCE(), as these aren't currently harmful. However, for some features it is necessary to instrument reads and writes separately, which is not possible with ACCESS_ONCE(). This distinction is critical to correct operation. The bulk of the kernel code can be transformed via Coccinelle to use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE(), though this only modifies users of ACCESS_ONCE(), and not the implementation itself. As such, it has the potential to break homebrew ACCESS_ONCE() macros seen in some user code in the kernel tree (e.g. the virtio code, as fixed in commit ea9156fb3b71d9f7). To avoid fragility if/when that transformation occurs, and to align with the preferred usage of {READ,WRITE}_ONCE(), this patch updates the DSCR selftest code to use READ_ONCE() rather than ACCESS_ONCE(). There should be no functional change as a result of this patch. Signed-off-by: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2015-06-07	selftests/powerpc: Add test for system wide DSCR default	Anshuman Khandual	1	-0/+127
	This patch adds a test case for the system wide DSCR default value, which when changed through it's sysfs interface must be visible to all threads reading DSCR either through the privilege state SPR or the problem state SPR. The DSCR value change should be immediate as well.
