Changes in v6: - Rebased on top of 70d201a40823 (thanks Alexander Gordeev!) - Resolved a conflict because of 43e8832fed08 being reverted - Resolved a missing static declaration for lp_sys_getpid, since -Wmissing-prototypes warning was enabled. - Retested everything, from running the livepatch selftests from kernel source, running from a directory here the testes were installed (Joe's usecase), and running from a gen_tar'ed directory. All of them executed correctly. - Added Petr review tags (Thanks!) - Link to v5: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240109-send-lp-kselftests-v5-0-364d59a69f12@xxxxxxxx Changes in v5: * Fixed an issue found by Joe that copied Kbuild files along with the test modules to the installation directory. * Added Joe Lawrense review tags. Changes in v4: * Documented how to compile the livepatch selftests without running the tests (Joe) * Removed the mention to lib/livepatch on MAINTAINERS file, reported by checkpatch. Changes in v3: * Rebased on top of v6.6-rc5 * The commits messages were improved (Thanks Petr!) * Created TEST_GEN_MODS_DIR variable to point to a directly that contains kernel modules, and adapt selftests to build it before running the test. * Moved test_klp-call_getpid out of test_programs, since the gen_tar would just copy the generated test programs to the livepatches dir, and so scripts relying on test_programs/test_klp-call_getpid will fail. * Added a module_param for klp_pids, describing it's usage. * Simplified the call_getpid program to ignore the return of getpid syscall, since we only want to make sure the process transitions correctly to the patched stated * The test-syscall.sh not prints a log message showing the number of remaining processes to transition into to livepatched state, and check_output expects it to be 0. * Added MODULE_AUTHOR and MODULE_DESCRIPTION to test_klp_syscall.c - Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231031-send-lp-kselftests-v3-0-2b1655c2605f@xxxxxxxx - Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kselftest/20220630141226.2802-1-mpdesouza@xxxxxxxx/ This patchset moves the current kernel testing livepatch modules from lib/livepatches to tools/testing/selftest/livepatch/test_modules, and compiles them as out-of-tree modules before testing. There is also a new test being added. This new test exercises multiple processes calling a syscall, while a livepatch patched the syscall. Why this move is an improvement: * The modules are now compiled as out-of-tree modules against the current running kernel, making them capable of being tested on different systems with newer or older kernels. * Such approach now needs kernel-devel package to be installed, since they are out-of-tree modules. These can be generated by running "make rpm-pkg" in the kernel source. What needs to be solved: * Currently gen_tar only packages the resulting binaries of the tests, and not the sources. For the current approach, the newly added modules would be compiled and then packaged. It works when testing on a system with the same kernel version. But it will fail when running on a machine with different kernel version, since module was compiled against the kernel currently running. This is not a new problem, just aligning the expectations. For the current approach to be truly system agnostic gen_tar would need to include the module and program sources to be compiled in the target systems. Thanks in advance!
