selftests/riscv: ptrace: Fix memory leak of regset_data in vector tests

2026-07-10T15:32:35+00:00

The regset_data buffer allocated with calloc() in the parent process of several vector ptrace tests is never freed before returning, causing memory leaks in: - ptrace_v_not_enabled - ptrace_v_early_debug - ptrace_v_syscall_clobbering - v_csr_invalid/ptrace_v_invalid_values - v_csr_valid/ptrace_v_valid_values Add free(regset_data) before kill(pid, SIGKILL) to release the allocated buffer.

selftests: riscv: Bypass libc in inactive vector ptrace test

2026-07-08T02:30:31+00:00

The ptrace_v_not_enabled test expects the child to reach its ebreak before it has used the vector extension. That is not guaranteed when using fork(), because libc may run child atfork handlers before returning to the test code. In those cases PTRACE_GETREGSET for NT_RISCV_VECTOR then succeeds instead of returning ENODATA for inactive vector state. Use the raw clone syscall with SIGCHLD to keep fork-like semantics while bypassing libc's fork wrapper and atfork handler chain.

selftests/riscv: fix compiler output flag spacing in all Makefiles

2026-06-07T02:17:52+00:00

Standardize the compiler output flag format across all RISC-V selftests by adding a space between '-o' and '$@'. Although '-o$@' is perfectly valid for GCC/Clang to parse, changing it to '-o $@' with a space aligns with the GNU official documentation conventions, improves readability by visually separating the flag from the target variable, and ensures consistency with other architectures. Currently, RISC-V selftests use '-o$@' (without space) in 13 instances across 6 Makefiles, while all other architectures consistently use '-o $@' (with space). This inconsistency makes RISC-V an outlier in the kernel's selftest infrastructure.

riscv: cfi: reject unknown flags in PR_SET_CFI

2026-06-07T02:17:05+00:00

prctl(PR_SET_CFI,PR_CFI_BRANCH_LANDING_PADS) silently ignored unknown control values. Only PR_CFI_{ENABLE,DISABLE,LOCK} should be permitted. This changes the behavior of the uABI (fails previously accepted bits with EINVAL).

prctl: cfi: change the branch landing pad prctl()s to be more descriptive

2026-04-05T00:40:58+00:00

Per Linus' comments requesting the replacement of "INDIR_BR_LP" in the indirect branch tracking prctl()s with something more readable, and suggesting the use of the speculation control prctl()s as an exemplar, reimplement the prctl()s and related constants that control per-task forward-edge control flow integrity. This primarily involves two changes. First, the prctls are restructured to resemble the style of the speculative execution workaround control prctls PR_{GET,SET}_SPECULATION_CTRL, to make them easier to extend in the future. Second, the "indir_br_lp" abbrevation is expanded to "branch_landing_pads" to be less telegraphic. The kselftest and documentation is adjusted accordingly.

riscv: ptrace: cfi: expand "SS" references to "shadow stack" in uapi headers

2026-04-05T00:40:58+00:00

Similar to the recent change to expand "LP" to "branch landing pad", let's expand "SS" in the ptrace uapi macros to "shadow stack" as well. This aligns with the existing prctl() arguments, which use the expanded "shadow stack" names, rather than just the abbreviation.

Per Linus' comments about the unreadability of abbreviations such as "LP", rename the RISC-V ptrace landing pad CFI macro names to be more explicit. This primarily involves expanding "LP" in the names to some variant of "branch landing pad."

selftests: riscv: Add braces around EXPECT_EQ()

2026-04-05T00:37:57+00:00

EXPECT_EQ() expands to multiple lines, breaking up one-line if statements. This issue was not present in the patch on the mailing list but was instead introduced by the maintainer when attempting to fix up checkpatch warnings. Add braces around EXPECT_EQ() to avoid the error even though checkpatch suggests them to be removed: validate_v_ptrace.c:626:17: error: ‘else’ without a previous ‘if’ Fixes: 3789d5eecd5a ("selftests: riscv: verify syscalls discard vector context") Fixes: 30eb191c895b ("selftests: riscv: verify ptrace rejects invalid vector csr inputs") Fixes: 849f05ae1ea6 ("selftests: riscv: verify ptrace accepts valid vector csr values") Signed-off-by: Charlie Jenkins Reviewed-and-tested-by: Sergey Matyukevich Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260309-fix_selftests-v2-2-9d5a553a531e@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Paul Walmsley

riscv: use _BITUL macro rather than BIT() in ptrace uapi and kselftests

2026-04-05T00:37:54+00:00

Fix the build of non-kernel code that includes the RISC-V ptrace uapi header, and the RISC-V validate_v_ptrace.c kselftest, by using the _BITUL() macro rather than BIT(). BIT() is not available outside the kernel. Based on patches and comments from Charlie Jenkins, Michael Neuling, and Andreas Schwab.
