2026-05-05selftests: drv-net: convert so_txtime to drv-netWillem de Bruijn
In preparation for extending to pacing hardware offload, convert the so_txtime.sh test to a drv-net test that can be run against netdevsim and real hardware. Also update so_txtime.c to not exit on first failure, but run to completion and report exit code there. This helps with debugging unexpected results, especially when processing multiple packets, as happens in the "reverse_order" testcase. Signed-off-by: Willem de Bruijn <willemb@google.com> ---- v6 -> v7 - update test to use new argument expect_fail - v6 received Reviewed-by, but dropped due to above (minor) change v5 -> v6 - fix order in tools/testing/selftests/drivers/net/config v4 -> v5 - move qdisc setup/restore into each test - add tc to utils.py (separate patch) - test expected failure (separate patch) - fix pylint - convert fail to pass for timing errors if KSFT_MACHINE_SLOW (cmd does not special case KSFT_SKIP process returncode yet) Responses to sashiko review - The test converts per packet failure to errors, to continue testing other packets, but other error() cases are not in scope. - The test starts sender and receiver at an absolute future time, like the original test. This assumes ~msec scale sync'ed clocks. - The tc qdisc replace command works fine with noqueue. Tested manually. v3 -> v4 - restore original qdisc after test - drop unnecessary underscore in tap test names v2 -> v3 - Makefile: so_txtime from YNL_GEN_FILES to TEST_GEN_FILES (Sashiko, NIPA) v1 -> v2 - move so_txtime.c for net/lib to drivers/net (Jakub) - fix drivers/net/config order (Jakub) - detect passing when failure is expected (Jakub, Sashiko) - pass pylint --disable=R (Jakub) - only call ksft_run once (Jakub) - do not sleep if waiting time is negative (Sashiko) - add \n when converting error() to fprintf() (Sashiko) - 4 space indentation, instead of 2 space - increase sync delay from 100 to 200ms, to fix rare vng flakes Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260504174056.565319-4-willemdebruijn.kernel@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
2026-05-05selftests: net: py: add tc utilityWillem de Bruijn
Add a wrapper similar to existing ip, ethtool, ... commands. Tc takes a slightly different syntax. Account for that. The first user is the next patch in this series, converting so_txtime to drv-net. Pacing offload is supported by selected qdiscs only.

2026-05-05selftests: net: py: support cmd verifying expected failureWillem de Bruijn
Support negative tests, where cmd raises an exception if the command succeeded. Add optional argument expect_fail to cmd and bkg. Where fail fails the test on unexpected error, expect_fail fails it on unexpected success. Both fail on negative return code. Python subprocess may set a negative return code on process crash or timeout. Those are never anticipated failures.

2026-05-05perf build: Remove NO_GTK2 build testNamhyung Kim
4751bddd3f983af2 ("perf tools: Make GTK2 support opt-in") changed GTK2 build to be opt-in. So NO_GTK2 is meaningless and we need to pass GTK2=1 to enable it. Let's update the build-test configuration for that. Also make_no_ui is the same as make_no_slang since NO_GTK2 is no-op. Let's get rid of it as well.

2026-05-05perf arm_spe: Store MIDR in arm_spe_pktJames Clark
The MIDR will affect printing of arm_spe_pkts, so store a copy of it there. Technically it's constant for each decoder, but there is no decoder when doing a raw dump, so it has to be stored in every packet. It will only be used in raw dump mode and not in normal decoding for now, but to avoid any surprises, set MIDR properly on the decoder too. Having both the MIDR and the arm_spe_pkt (which has a copy of it) in the decoder seemed a bit weird, so remove arm_spe_pkt from the decoder. The packet is only short lived anyway so probably shouldn't have been there in the first place.

2026-05-05perf callchain: Handle multiple address spacesThomas Richter
perf test 'perf inject to convert DWARF callchains to regular ones' fails on s390. It was introduced with commit 92ea788d2af4e65a ("perf inject: Add --convert-callchain option") The failure comes the difference in output. Without the inject script to convert DWARF the callchains is: # perf record -F 999 --call-graph dwarf -- perf test -w noploop # perf report -i perf.data --stdio --no-children -q \ --percent-limit=1 > /tmp/111 # cat /tmp/111 99.30% perf-noploop perf [.] noploop | ---noploop run_workload (inlined) cmd_test run_builtin (inlined) handle_internal_command run_argv (inlined) main __libc_start_call_main __libc_start_main_impl (inlined) _start # With the inject script step the output is: # perf inject -i perf.data --convert-callchain -o /tmp/perf-inject-1.out # perf report -i /tmp/perf-inject-1.out --stdio --no-children -q \ --percent-limit=1 > /tmp/222 # cat /tmp/222 99.40% perf-noploop perf [.] noploop | ---noploop run_workload (inlined) cmd_test run_builtin (inlined) handle_internal_command run_argv (inlined) main _start # diff /tmp/111 /tmp/222 1c1 < 99.30% perf-noploop perf [.] noploop --- > 99.40% perf-noploop perf [.] noploop 10,11d9 < __libc_start_call_main < __libc_start_main_impl (inlined) # The difference are the symbols __libc_start_call_main and __libc_start_main_impl. On x86_64, kernel and user space share a single virtual address space, with the kernel mapped to the upper end of memory. The instruction pointer value alone is sufficient to distinguish between user space and kernel space addresses. This is not true for s390, which uses separate address spaces for user and kernel. The same virtual address can be valid in both address spaces, so the instruction pointer value alone cannot determine whether an address belongs to the kernel or user space. Instead, perf must rely on the cpumode metadata derived from the processor status word (PSW) at sample time. In function perf_event__convert_sample_callchain() the first part copies a kernel callchain and context entries, if any. It then appends additional entries ignoring the address space architecture. Taking that into account, the symbols at addresses 0x3ff970348cb __libc_start_call_main 0x3ff970349c5 __libc_start_main_impl (located after the kernel address space on s390) are now included. Output before: # perf test 83 83: perf inject to convert DWARF callchains to regular ones : FAILED! Output after: # perf test 83 83: perf inject to convert DWARF callchains to regular ones : Ok Question to Namhyung: In function perf_event__convert_sample_callchain() just before the for() loop this patch modifies, the kernel callchain is copied, see this comment and the next 5 lines: /* copy kernel callchain and context entries */ Then why is machine__kernel_ip() needed in the for() loop, when the kernel entries have been copied just before the loop?

Additionally: - Add NULL pointer protection for `strcmp()` in `die_walk_lines()` when `inf` or `decf` are NULL to prevent crashes on generated code. - Use `dwarf_attr_integrate` in `die_get_data_member_location` to correctly resolve inherited member locations (e.g. via abstract origin or specification).

2026-05-05perf dwarf-aux: Fix libdw segmentation fault in cu_walk_functions_atIan Rogers
A segmentation fault was observed in `libdw` when running `perf kmem` with `--page stat` on some workloads. The crash occurred deep inside `libdw` (specifically in `dwarf_child` and `dwarf_diename`) when processing DWARF information. The root cause was improper error handling of `dwarf_getfuncs` in `die_find_realfunc` and `die_find_tailfunc`. `dwarf_getfuncs` returns: - `0` on success (when all functions have been processed). - A positive offset if the callback aborts early (e.g., via `DWARF_CB_ABORT` when a match is found). - `-1` on error. The original code used `if (!dwarf_getfuncs(...)) return NULL;`. On error (`-1`), `!-1` evaluates to `0` (false), bypassing the error check. Execution then proceeded as if a match was found, returning uninitialized stack memory (`die_mem`) to the caller (`cu_walk_functions_at`). When `cu_walk_functions_at` passed this uninitialized memory to `libdw` via `dwarf_diename`, it caused a segmentation fault. Fix this by correcting the error check to `if (dwarf_getfuncs(...) <= 0)`.

2026-05-05selftests/rseq: Make registration flexible for legacy and optimized modeThomas Gleixner
rseq_register_current_thread() either uses the glibc registered RSEQ region or registers it's own region with the legacy size of 32 bytes. That worked so far, but becomes a problem when the kernel implements a distinction between legacy and performance optimized behavior based on the registration size as that does not allow to test both modes with the self test suite. Add two arguments to the function. One to enforce that the registration is not using libc provided mode and one to tell the registration to use the legacy size and not the kernel advertised size. Rename it and make the original one a inline wrapper which preserves the existing behavior.

There were a few issues found with the tunnel vport types around the vport destruction code. Add some basic tests, so at least we know that they can be properly added and removed without obvious issues. The test creates OVS datapath, adds a non-LWT tunnel port, makes sure they are created, and then removes the datapath and waits for all the ports to be gone. The dpctl script had a few bugs in the none-lwt tunnel creation code, so fixing them as well to make the testing possible: - The type of the --lwt option changed in order to properly disable it. - Removed byte order conversion for the port numbers, as the value supposed to be in the host order. - Added missing 'gre' choice for the tunnel type.

2026-05-04objtool: Improve and simplify prefix symbol detectionJosh Poimboeuf
Only create prefix symbols for functions that have __patchable_function_entries entries, since those are the only C functions where prefix NOPs are intentional.

Note that assembly functions using SYM_TYPED_FUNC_START() can also have prefixed NOPs, but that macro already creates their __cfi_ symbols. Signed-off-by: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@kernel.org>
2026-05-04objtool/klp: Fix kCFI prefix finding/cloningJosh Poimboeuf
With CFI+CALL_PADDING, Clang places .Ltmp labels at the start of the NOP padding (offset 5) between the __cfi_ prefix and the function entry point. get_func_prefix() only checks the immediately previous symbol, so the intervening .Ltmp label causes it to miss the __cfi_ prefix symbol. This results in klp-diff not cloning the kCFI type hash into the livepatch module, causing a CFI failure at module load when calling callback functions through indirect calls: CFI failure at __klp_enable_patch+0xab/0x140 (target: pre_patch_callback+0x0/0x80 [livepatch_combined]; expected type: 0xde073954) Instead of walking backward through the section's symbol list, just use find_func_containing() for the byte before the function. This works now that __cfi_ symbols are being grown by objtool to fill the padding. Acked-by: Song Liu <song@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@kernel.org>
2026-05-04objtool: Grow __cfi_* prefix symbols for all CFI+CALL_PADDINGJosh Poimboeuf
For all CONFIG_CFI+CONFIG_CALL_PADDING configs, for C functions, the __cfi_ symbols only cover the 5-byte kCFI type hash. After that there also N bytes of NOP padding between the hash and the function entry which aren't associated with any symbol. The NOPs can be replaced with actual code at runtime. Without a symbol, unwinders and tooling have no way of knowing where those bytes belong. Grow the existing __cfi_* symbols to fill that gap. Note that assembly functions with SYM_TYPED_FUNC_START() aren't affected by this issue, their __cfi_ symbols also cover the padding. Also, CONFIG_PREFIX_SYMBOLS has no reason to exist: CONFIG_CALL_PADDING is what causes the compiler to emit NOP padding before function entry (via -fpatchable-function-entry), so it's the right condition for creating prefix symbols. Remove CONFIG_PREFIX_SYMBOLS, as it's no longer needed. Simplify the LONGEST_SYM_KUNIT_TEST dependency accordingly. Rework objtool's arguments a bit to handle the variety of prefix/cfi-related cases.

2026-05-04objtool/klp: Fix position-dependent checksums for non-relocated jumps/callsJosh Poimboeuf
When computing klp checksums, instructions with non-relocated jump/call destination offsets are problematic because the offset values can change when surrounding code has moved, causing the function to be incorrectly marked as changed. Specifically, that includes jumps from alternatives to the end of the alternative, which from objtool's perspective are jumps to the end of the alternative instruction block in the original function. Note that 'jump_dest' jumps don't include sibling calls (those use call_dest), nor do they include jumps to/from .cold sub functions (those are cross-section and need a reloc). Fix it by hashing the opcode bytes (excluding the immediate operand) along with a position-independent representation of the destination. For calls, use the function name, and for jumps, use the destination's offset within its function. [Note the "9 bit hole" comment was wrong: it has been 8 bits since commit 70589843b36f ("objtool: Add option to trace function validation") added the 'trace' field. Adding the 4-bit 'immediate_len' field now leaves a 4-bit hole.] Fixes: 0d83da43b1e1 ("objtool/klp: Add --checksum option to generate per-function checksums") Acked-by: Song Liu <song@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@kernel.org>

2026-05-04objtool/klp: Rewrite symbol correlation algorithmJosh Poimboeuf
Rewrite the symbol correlation code, using a tiered list of deterministic strategies in a loop. For duplicately named symbols, each tier applies a filter with the goal of finding a 1:1 deterministic correlation between the original and patched version of the symbol. The three matching strategies are: find_twin(): A funnel of progressively tighter filters. Candidates with the same demangled name are counted at four levels: name, scope (local-vs-global), file (strict file association), and checksum (unchanged functions). The widest level that yields a 1:1 match wins, narrower levels are only tried when the wider level is ambiguous. find_twin_suffixed(): Uses already-correlated LLVM symbol pairs to map .llvm.<hash> suffixes from orig to patched. Because all promoted symbols from the same TU share the same hash, one correlated pair seeds the mapping for the entire TU. find_twin_positional(): Last resort, matches symbols by position among same-named candidates, similar to livepatch sympos. Used for data objects like __quirk variables where no deterministic filter can distinguish the candidates. Overall this works much better than the existing algorithm, particularly with LTO kernels.

2026-05-04objtool/klp: Don't correlate .rodata.cst* constant pool objectsJosh Poimboeuf
Clang aggregates UBSAN type descriptors into shared anonymous .data..L__unnamed_* sections. This data is used by UBSAN trap handlers. When a changed function has an UBSAN bounds check, klp-diff clones the entire UBSAN data section associated with the TU. Relocations within the cloned section that reference named rodata objects in .rodata.cst* (like 'exponent', 'pirq_ali_set.irqmap') become KLP relocations because those objects now get correlated. That results in a .klp.rela.vmlinux..data section which can easily have thousands of KLP relocs, most of which are completely superfluous, used by functions which aren't cloned to the patch module. The .rodata.cst* sections are SHF_MERGE constant pool sections containing small fixed-size data (lookup tables, bitmasks) that is only read by value. Pointer identity is never relevant for these objects, so correlating them is unnecessary. Exclude .rodata.cst* objects from correlation so they get cloned as local data instead of generating KLP relocations. It might be possible to someday treat UBSAN data sections as special sections, and only extract the few needed entries. But this works for now.

2026-05-04objtool/klp: Fix pointer comparisons for rodata objectsJosh Poimboeuf
klp-diff treats all rodata as uncorrelated, so any reference to it uses a duplicated copy rather than using a KLP reloc. For the contents of the data itself, a duplicated copy is fine. However, pointer comparisons (e.g., f->f_op == &foo_ops) are broken. Fix it by correlating non-anonymous rodata objects. Also, use a new find_symbol_containing_inclusive() helper for matching the end of a symbol so bounds calculations don't get broken, for the case where an array or other symbol's ending address is used as part of a bounds calculation. While these are really two distinct changes, they need to be done in the same patch so as to avoid introducing bisection regressions.
