Re: [PATCH V12] mm/debug: Add tests validating architecture page table helpers

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 





Le 28/01/2020 à 02:27, Anshuman Khandual a écrit :
This adds tests which will validate architecture page table helpers and
other accessors in their compliance with expected generic MM semantics.
This will help various architectures in validating changes to existing
page table helpers or addition of new ones.

This test covers basic page table entry transformations including but not
limited to old, young, dirty, clean, write, write protect etc at various
level along with populating intermediate entries with next page table page
and validating them.

Test page table pages are allocated from system memory with required size
and alignments. The mapped pfns at page table levels are derived from a
real pfn representing a valid kernel text symbol. This test gets called
right after page_alloc_init_late().

This gets build and run when CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_PGTABLE is selected along with
CONFIG_VM_DEBUG. Architectures willing to subscribe this test also need to
select CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_DEBUG_VM_PGTABLE which for now is limited to x86 and
arm64. Going forward, other architectures too can enable this after fixing
build or runtime problems (if any) with their page table helpers.

Folks interested in making sure that a given platform's page table helpers
conform to expected generic MM semantics should enable the above config
which will just trigger this test during boot. Any non conformity here will
be reported as an warning which would need to be fixed. This test will help
catch any changes to the agreed upon semantics expected from generic MM and
enable platforms to accommodate it thereafter.

Not sure it is a good idea to put that in include/asm-generic/pgtable.h

By doing this you are forcing a rebuild of almost all files, whereas only init/main.o and mm/debug_vm_pgtable.o should be rebuilt when activating this config option.

Please don't use the 'extern' keyword, it is useless and not to be used for functions declaration.

Wouldn't it be better to call debug_vm_pgtable() in kernel_init() between the call to async_synchronise_full() and ftrace_free_init_mem() ?
