selftests/powerpc/ptrace: Declare test temporary variables as volatile

While the target is volatile, the temporary variables used to access the
target cast away the volatile. This is undefined behaviour, and a
compiler may optimise away/reorder these accesses, breaking the test.

This was observed with GCC 13.1.1, but it can be difficult to reproduce
because of the dependency on compiler behaviour.

selftests/powerpc/ptrace: Explain why tests are skipped

Many tests require specific hardware features/configurations that a
typical machine might not have. As a result, it's common to see a test
is skipped. But it is tedious to find out why a test is skipped
when all it gives is the file location of the skip macro.

Convert SKIP_IF() to SKIP_IF_MSG(), with appropriate descriptions of why
the test is being skipped. This gives a general idea of why a test is
skipped, which can be looked into further if it doesn't make sense.

powerpc/selftests/ptrace-hwbreak: Add testcases for 2nd DAWR

Message-ID: <20210412112218.128183-2-ravi.bangoria@linux.ibm.com> (raw)

Add selftests to test multiple active DAWRs with ptrace interface.

Sample o/p:
$ ./ptrace-hwbreak
...
PPC_PTRACE_SETHWDEBUG 2, MODE_RANGE, DW ALIGNED, WO, len: 6: Ok
PPC_PTRACE_SETHWDEBUG 2, MODE_RANGE, DW UNALIGNED, RO, len: 6: Ok

selftests/powerpc: Tests for kernel accessing user memory

Introduce tests to cover simple scenarios where user is watching
memory which can be accessed by kernel as well. We also support
_MODE_EXACT with _SETHWDEBUG interface. Move those testcases outside
of _BP_RANGE condition. This will help to test _MODE_EXACT scenarios
when CONFIG_HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINT is not set, eg:

$ ./ptrace-hwbreak
...
PTRACE_SET_DEBUGREG, Kernel Access Userspace, len: 8: Ok
PPC_PTRACE_SETHWDEBUG, MODE_EXACT, WO, len: 1: Ok
PPC_PTRACE_SETHWDEBUG, MODE_EXACT, RO, len: 1: Ok
PPC_PTRACE_SETHWDEBUG, MODE_EXACT, RW, len: 1: Ok
PPC_PTRACE_SETHWDEBUG, MODE_EXACT, Kernel Access Userspace, len: 1: Ok
success: ptrace-hwbreak

# 5dc7b419 17-Oct-2019 Ravi Bangoria <ravi.bangoria@linux.ibm.com>

powerpc/watchpoint: Support for 8xx in ptrace-hwbreak.c selftest

On the 8xx, signals are generated after executing the instruction. So
no need to manually single-step on 8xx. Also, 8xx __set_dabr()
currently ignores length and hardcodes the length to 8 bytes. So all
unaligned and 512 byte testcase will fail on 8xx. Ignore those
testcases on 8xx.

selftests/powerpc: Rewrite ptrace-hwbreak.c selftest

ptrace-hwbreak.c selftest is logically broken. On powerpc, when
watchpoint is created with ptrace, signals are generated before
executing the instruction and user has to manually singlestep the
instruction with watchpoint disabled, which selftest never does and
thus it keeps on getting the signal at the same instruction. If we fix
it, selftest fails because the logical connection between
tracer(parent) and tracee(child) is also broken. Rewrite the selftest
and add new tests for unaligned access.
