Series livepatch: Move modules to selftests and add a new test |

Commit Message

  Add TEST_GEN_MODS_DIR variable for kselftests. It can point to
a directory containing kernel modules that will be used by
selftest scripts.

The modules are built as external modules for the running kernel.
As a result they are always binary compatible and the same tests
can be used for older or newer kernels.

The build requires "kernel-devel" package to be installed.
For example, in the upstream sources, the rpm devel package
is produced by "make rpm-pkg"

The modules can be built independently by

  make -C tools/testing/selftests/livepatch/

or they will be automatically built before running the tests via

  make -C tools/testing/selftests/livepatch/ run_tests

Note that they are _not_ built when running the standalone
tests by calling, for example, ./test-state.sh.

Hi Marcos,

Sorry for the late reply on this, but I'm reviewing this version by
trying to retrofit it into our selftest packaging (pre-build the test
module .ko's and stash those into an rpm rather than building on the
test host).

Since $TEST_GEN_MODS_DIR is treated as a directory, I found that the
selftest install target copies a bunch of intermediate object and kbuild
files:

  $ mkdir /tmp/test-install
  $ make KDIR=$(pwd) INSTALL_PATH=/tmp/test-install TARGETS=livepatch \
       -C tools/testing/selftests/ install

  [ ... builds livepatch selftests ... ]

the rsync in question:

  rsync -a --copy-unsafe-links /home/jolawren/src/kernel/tools/testing/selftests/livepatch/test_modules /tmp/test-install/livepatch/
  ...

and then looking at the destination:

  $ tree -a /tmp/test-install/
  /tmp/test-install/

  │   └── runner.sh

  │   │   ├── .test_klp_atomic_replace.o.cmd
  ...

On the other hand, variables like $TEST_GEN_FILES specify individual
files, so only final binaries like test_klp-call_getpid (and not
test_klp-call_getpid.c) are copied to $INSTALL_PATH.

Since the selftest module builds appear to ignore
CONFIG_MODULE_COMPRESS_* the smallest tweak I can think of to avoid the
above scenario is:

  --- a/tools/testing/selftests/lib.mk
  +++ b/tools/testing/selftests/lib.mk
  @@ -106,7 +106,7 @@ define INSTALL_RULE
          $(eval INSTALL_LIST = $(TEST_CUSTOM_PROGS)) $(INSTALL_SINGLE_RULE)
          $(eval INSTALL_LIST = $(TEST_GEN_PROGS_EXTENDED)) $(INSTALL_SINGLE_RULE)
          $(eval INSTALL_LIST = $(TEST_GEN_FILES)) $(INSTALL_SINGLE_RULE)
  -       $(eval INSTALL_LIST = $(TEST_GEN_MODS_DIR)) $(INSTALL_SINGLE_RULE)
  +       $(eval INSTALL_LIST = $(shell sed 's/.o$$/.ko/' $(TEST_GEN_MODS_DIR)/modules.order)) $(INSTALL_SINGLE_RULE)
          $(eval INSTALL_LIST = $(wildcard config settings)) $(INSTALL_SINGLE_RULE)
   endef

However, that will copy .ko's directly into $INSTALL_PATH and out of the
$TEST_GEN_MODS_DIR subdirectory(s), so maybe not a great solution after
all.

Anyway, I thought I might mention this in case it runs against the
spirit of the selftest install target.  I only tripped over it while
digging into the bowels of our kernel specfile and discovered that it
invoked this target.

Thank you Joe for finding this problem.

Copying source files and object files doesn't sound right. This isn't
how the ksleftest installs work. Let's fix this.

thanks,

Hi Joe,

thanks for catching this issue. I crafted the attached patch and it
fixes the issue for me, copying only the resulting .ko objects as
expected. Can you please check if this fixes the issue for you?

Hi Shuah,

what do you think about the proposed solution? Could you please amend
the fix into the first patch if you think it's the right approach?

Thanks in advance!

I would like to see a new revision of the patch series with the fix to
the problem. I will pull this into a separate test branch for us all
to test different scenarios. I would like to make sure the repo will
stay clean after install in the case of when out of tree builds.

Sorry I can't amend the patch as this isn't a trivial merge change.
This change requires more testing.

thanks,
-- Shuah

I sent a v5 of the patches. This new version has that diff that I sent
earlier to avoid copying the Kbuild files. It worked on make install
and with gen_tar.

Feel free to use this version in your test branch then.

Thanks in advance,
  Marcos
