selftests/proc: Assert clock_gettime(CLOCK_BOOTTIME) VS /proc/uptime monotonicity The first field of /proc/uptime relies on the CLOCK_BOOTTIME clock which can also be fetched from clock_gettime() API. Improve the test coverage while verifying the monotonicity of CLOCK_BOOTTIME accross both interfaces.

selftests/proc: Remove idle time monotonicity assertions Due to broken iowait task counting design (cf: comments above get_cpu_idle_time_us() and nr_iowait()), it is not possible to provide the guarantee that /proc/stat or /proc/uptime display monotonic idle time values. Remove the assertions that verify the related wrong assumption so that testers and maintainers don't spend more time on that.

tools/testing/selftests/proc: test /proc/*/fd a bit (+ PF_KTHREAD is ABI!) * Test lookup in /proc/self/fd. "map_files" lookup story showed that lookup is not that simple. * Test that all those symlinks open the same file. Check with (st_dev, st_info). * Test that kernel threads do not have anything in their /proc/*/fd/ directory. Now this is where things get interesting. First, kernel threads aren't pinned by /proc/self or equivalent, thus some "atomicity" is required. Second, ->comm can contain whitespace and ')'. No, they are not escaped. Third, the only reliable way to check if process is kernel thread appears to be field #9 in /proc/*/stat. This field is struct task_struct::flags in decimal! Check is done by testing PF_KTHREAD flags like we do in kernel. PF_KTREAD value is a part of userspace ABI !!! Other methods for determining kernel threadness are not reliable: * RSS can be 0 if everything is swapped, even while reading from /proc/self. * ->total_vm CAN BE ZERO if process is finishing munmap(NULL, whole address space); * /proc/*/maps and similar files can be empty because unmapping everything works. Read returning 0 can't distinguish between kernel thread and such suicide process.

proc: selftests: test /proc/uptime The only tests I could come up with for /proc/uptime are: - test that values increase monotonically for 1 second, - bounce around CPUs and test the same thing. Avoid glibc like plague for affinity given patches like this: https://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=152130031912594&w=4 Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180317165235.GB3445@avx2 Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com> Cc: Shuah Khan <shuah@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
