2021-12-25	selftests/powerpc: Add a test of sigreturning to an unaligned address	Michael Ellerman	1	-0/+1
	Add a test of sigreturning to an unaligned address (low two bits set). This should have no effect because the hardware will mask those bits. However it previously falsely triggered a warning when CONFIG_PPC_RFI_SRR_DEBUG=y.

2021-12-21	selftests/powerpc: Add a test of sigreturning to the kernel	Michael Ellerman	1	-0/+1
	We have a general signal fuzzer, sigfuz, which can modify the MSR & NIP before sigreturn. But the chance of it hitting a kernel address and also clearing MSR_PR is fairly slim. So add a specific test of sigreturn to a kernel address, both with and without attempting to clear MSR_PR (which the kernel must block).

2020-04-05	Merge tag 'powerpc-5.7-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linux	Linus Torvalds	1	-0/+1
	Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman: "Slightly late as I had to rebase mid-week to insert a bug fix: - A large series from Nick for 64-bit to further rework our exception vectors, and rewrite portions of the syscall entry/exit and interrupt return in C. The result is much easier to follow code that is also faster in general. - Cleanup of our ptrace code to split various parts out that had become badly intertwined with #ifdefs over the years. - Changes to our NUMA setup under the PowerVM hypervisor which should hopefully avoid non-sensical topologies which can lead to warnings from the workqueue code and other problems. - MAINTAINERS updates to remove some of our old orphan entries and update the status of others. - Quite a few other small changes and fixes all over the map.

2020-03-20	selftests/powerpc: Add a test of sigreturn vs VDSO	Michael Ellerman	1	-0/+1
	There's two different paths through the sigreturn code, depending on whether the VDSO is mapped or not. We recently discovered a bug in the unmapped case, because it's not commonly used these days. So add a test that sends itself a signal, then moves the VDSO, takes another signal and finally unmaps the VDSO before sending itself another signal. That tests the standard signal path, the code that handles the VDSO being moved, and also the signal path in the case where the VDSO is unmapped.

2019-05-03	selftests/powerpc: Add a signal fuzzer selftest	Breno Leitao	1	-0/+1
	This is a new selftest that raises SIGUSR1 signals and handles it in a set of different ways, trying to create different scenario for testing purpose. This test works raising a signal and calling sigreturn interleaved with TM operations, as starting, suspending and terminating a transaction. The test depends on random numbers, and, based on them, it sets different TM states. Other than that, the test fills out the user context struct that is passed to the sigreturn system call with random data, in order to make sure that the signal handler syscall can handle different and invalid states properly. This selftest has command line parameters to control what kind of tests the user wants to run, as for example, if a transaction should be started prior to signal being raised, or, after the signal being raised and before the sigreturn. If no parameter is given, the default is enabling all options. This test does not check if the user context is being read and set properly by the kernel. Its purpose, at this time, is basically guaranteeing that the kernel does not crash on invalid scenarios.
