From 22098763a10d9c1340827fcf6edab66f153b27f0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Sun, 13 Sep 2026 12:27:00 -0700 Subject: Merge tag 'trace-v7.3-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt: - Don't destroy user event fields when removal fails User event fields are destroyed before the event is removed from visibility. But that can fail leaving the still visible event with no fields. Move the destroying of the fields to after the event is successfully removed from visibility. - Initialize function graph state is fork before calling copy_exec_state() For non-CLONE_VM forks, copy_exec_state() allocates a new task_exec_state. If that allocation fails, ftrace_graph_exit_task() will free the tasks ret_stack pointer. Since that pointer is still using the parent's ret_stack, it mistakenly frees the parent's pointer too. Call ftrace_graph_init() on the task first which will NULL out the new tasks's ret_stack and if the copy fails, it will not free anything. - Remove FGRAPH_MAX_INDEX The macro FGRAPH_MAX_INDEX was added but never used. Remove it. - Save ent_size in function graph printing of nested functions The function graph tracer needs to look at the next event to see if the next event is the return of the current function entry. If it is, it prints a single line: ktime_get(); Otherwise it prints it like a nested function: tick_nohz_irq_exit() { ktime_get(); kcpustat_irq_exit(); } In order to look at the next event, it must save the current event so that it has the information to print from it. It saves the event in the iterator descriptor called "ent". What it doesn't save is the ent_size of the event which is now used to know if the function graph arguments are to be printed. The peek doesn't save the size so the size used happens to be that of the size of the last event that was seen. Save the entry event size in the iterator descriptor so that the correct size is used. - Fix several errors with freeing data in the histogram code The histogram code had a lot of leaked or or incorrect accounting when failures happen. Correct them. - Fix histogram regression of .percent and .graph modifiers Up until 6.3 histogram values could have "percent" or "graph" modifiers that changed how they were printed. But a change that added restricting histograms values from being strings, stack traces and other modifiers inadvertently prevented them from using the percent and graph modifiers, which were legal use cases for values. Put back the percent and graph modifiers. - Fix various typos in the comments - Set the trace_clock before initializing a histogram with clock argument The histogram API allows the user to specific which trace clock to use via a "clock=" string. The histogram is set up first before the clock is checked. If the passed in clock is not valid, it exits without fully fixing up the histogram leaving it on the list and a use-after-free can trigger. Update the clock argument first and if it fails then exit gracefully before the histogram trigger is placed on any lists. - Restore :mod: trailer after parsing in ftrace_set_clr_event The function ftrace_set_clr_event() modifies the parse string and needs to put it back to what was passed in. It searches for ":mod:" via a strsep() but fails to put back the first ':' in the string. Add back the ':' in the passed in string. - Take trace_array reference when opening a tracer options file The options files are dynamically created and some tracers add their own options. When a tracer adds their own list of options, the trace_array holding them has an array to hold the list of options for each tracer. This array increases in size via a krealloc(), and the new entry gets a newly allocated array to hold the options of the new tracer being added. The element in each entry of the tracer's option array holds a pointer back to the trace_array, a pointer to the tracer it is associated to, a pointer to the flags of the option. The issue is that these arrays are freed when the trace_array is freed when its instance it represents is removed from the instances directory. There's a race that an open of one of these options files can happen when the instance is being removed. Add a new helper function to be called by the open function of the options file to iterate all existing trace_arrays under a lock and find the one that has the given option element in one of it's tracer arrays. If found, then update the associated trace_array's reference counter to keep it from being freed. If not found, have the open call return -ENODEV. - Disable interrupts when acquiring the lock in rb_wake_up_waiters() The function rb_wake_up_waiters() assumes it will be called in interrupt context and does not disable irqs when taking cpu_buffer->reader_lock, which can be called in hard interrupt context. The issue is in PREEMPT_RT, this function is called in thread context leaving this lock open to a deadlock. Take the lock with interrupts disabled. - Use rcu_assign_pointer() for tmp_ops filter hash The tmp_ops used in update_ftrace_direct_mod() assigns its filter_hash field directly, but that field is annotated as __rcu and sparse complains. Assign it with rcu_assign_pointer() - Fix use-after-free in enable_trigger_private_data_free() The trace_event_call is accessed through the event_trigger_data's trace_event_file pointer to put the trace_event_call on freeing. The issue is that the trace_event_file data may have been freed already causing a use-after-free. Add a field to the event_trigger_data that points directly to the trace_event_call so that it can decrement its reference directly without needing to go through the trace_event_file. - Fix accounting of buffer data remote headers trace_buffer_desc_size() and trace_remote_alloc_buffer() undercount the number of pages is needed for the asked for size as it doesn't take into account the meta data on each page. Add a helper function to do the calculation properly and use that in these functions. - Catch nr_page_va overflow in ring_buffer_desc sizing The number of pages per remote ring buffer is capped by ring_buffer_desc::nr_page_va (32 bits). A buffer_size large enough to overflow that field would silently allocate a descriptor smaller than what was asked for. - Do not resize the subbuf order if any per_cpu buffer is disabled The mmapping of ring buffers disables resizing the subbuffers, but it is done per-cpu whereas the subbuf size change is done for all the per_cpu buffers under the buffer->mutex. It could change the size of some while the mapping is happening on others. Have the resize of the subbuf order check all the per_cpu buffers under the lock to see if any of them is disabled before starting and causing an inconsistency between buffers that are being mapped. * tag 'trace-v7.3-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: (25 commits) ring-buffer: Check resize_disabled before publishing the new subbuf order tracing/remotes: Catch nr_page_va overflow in ring_buffer_desc sizing tracing/remotes: Account for ring buffer page header in size calculation tracing: Don't dereference trace_event_file in deferred trigger free ftrace: Use rcu_assign_pointer() for tmp_ops filter hash ring-buffer: Acquire the lock with irqsave in rb_wake_up_waiters() tracing: Take trace_array reference when opening a tracer options file tracing: Fix ring_buffer_read_page_size() kernel-doc tracing: Restore :mod: trailer after parsing in ftrace_set_clr_event() tracing: Fix memory corruption from a "STACKTRACE" histogram key tracing: Fix memory corruption from the histogram stacktrace modifier tracing: Undo the registration when enabling the histogram trigger fails tracing: Take the reference before publishing the named histogram trigger tracing: Set the trace clock before registering the histogram trigger tracing: Fix typo "preceeded" in comment tracing: Fix typo "availabe" in comment tracing: Let histogram values keep the percent and graph modifiers tracing: Keep the entry count when the histogram stats allocation fails tracing: Free histogram the field rejected for a bad modifier tracing: Free histogram the var ref when its initialization fails ... --- Documentation/rust/testing.rst | 241 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 241 insertions(+) create mode 100644 Documentation/rust/testing.rst (limited to 'Documentation/rust/testing.rst') diff --git a/Documentation/rust/testing.rst b/Documentation/rust/testing.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..e3943acec --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/rust/testing.rst @@ -0,0 +1,241 @@ +.. SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +Testing +======= + +This document contains useful information how to test the Rust code in the +kernel. + +There are three sorts of tests: + +- The KUnit tests. +- The ``#[test]`` tests. +- The Kselftests. + +The KUnit tests +--------------- + +These are the tests that come from the examples in the Rust documentation. They +get transformed into KUnit tests. + +Usage +***** + +These tests can be run via KUnit. For example via ``kunit_tool`` (``kunit.py``) +on the command line:: + + ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --make_options LLVM=1 --arch x86_64 --kconfig_add CONFIG_RUST=y + +Alternatively, KUnit can run them as kernel built-in at boot. Refer to +Documentation/dev-tools/kunit/index.rst for the general KUnit documentation +and Documentation/dev-tools/kunit/architecture.rst for the details of kernel +built-in vs. command line testing. + +To use these KUnit doctests, the following must be enabled:: + + CONFIG_KUNIT + Kernel hacking -> Kernel Testing and Coverage -> KUnit - Enable support for unit tests + CONFIG_RUST_KERNEL_DOCTESTS + Kernel hacking -> Rust hacking -> Doctests for the `kernel` crate + +in the kernel config system. + +KUnit tests are documentation tests +*********************************** + +These documentation tests are typically examples of usage of any item (e.g. +function, struct, module...). + +They are very convenient because they are just written alongside the +documentation. For instance: + +.. code-block:: rust + + /// Sums two numbers. + /// + /// ``` + /// assert_eq!(mymod::f(10, 20), 30); + /// ``` + pub fn f(a: i32, b: i32) -> i32 { + a + b + } + +In userspace, the tests are collected and run via ``rustdoc``. Using the tool +as-is would be useful already, since it allows verifying that examples compile +(thus enforcing they are kept in sync with the code they document) and as well +as running those that do not depend on in-kernel APIs. + +For the kernel, however, these tests get transformed into KUnit test suites. +This means that doctests get compiled as Rust kernel objects, allowing them to +run against a built kernel. + +A benefit of this KUnit integration is that Rust doctests get to reuse existing +testing facilities. For instance, the kernel log would look like:: + + KTAP version 1 + 1..1 + KTAP version 1 + # Subtest: rust_doctests_kernel + 1..59 + # rust_doctest_kernel_build_assert_rs_0.location: rust/kernel/build_assert.rs:13 + ok 1 rust_doctest_kernel_build_assert_rs_0 + # rust_doctest_kernel_build_assert_rs_1.location: rust/kernel/build_assert.rs:56 + ok 2 rust_doctest_kernel_build_assert_rs_1 + # rust_doctest_kernel_init_rs_0.location: rust/kernel/init.rs:122 + ok 3 rust_doctest_kernel_init_rs_0 + ... + # rust_doctest_kernel_types_rs_2.location: rust/kernel/types.rs:150 + ok 59 rust_doctest_kernel_types_rs_2 + # rust_doctests_kernel: pass:59 fail:0 skip:0 total:59 + # Totals: pass:59 fail:0 skip:0 total:59 + ok 1 rust_doctests_kernel + +Tests using the `? `_ +operator are also supported as usual, e.g.: + +.. code-block:: rust + + /// ``` + /// # use kernel::{spawn_work_item, workqueue}; + /// spawn_work_item!(workqueue::system(), || pr_info!("x\n"))?; + /// # Ok::<(), Error>(()) + /// ``` + +The tests are also compiled with Clippy under ``CLIPPY=1``, just like normal +code, thus also benefitting from extra linting. + +In order for developers to easily see which line of doctest code caused a +failure, a KTAP diagnostic line is printed to the log. This contains the +location (file and line) of the original test (i.e. instead of the location in +the generated Rust file):: + + # rust_doctest_kernel_types_rs_2.location: rust/kernel/types.rs:150 + +Rust tests appear to assert using the usual ``assert!`` and ``assert_eq!`` +macros from the Rust standard library (``core``). We provide a custom version +that forwards the call to KUnit instead. Importantly, these macros do not +require passing context, unlike those for KUnit testing (i.e. +``struct kunit *``). This makes them easier to use, and readers of the +documentation do not need to care about which testing framework is used. In +addition, it may allow us to test third-party code more easily in the future. + +A current limitation is that KUnit does not support assertions in other tasks. +Thus, we presently simply print an error to the kernel log if an assertion +actually failed. Additionally, doctests are not run for nonpublic functions. + +Since these tests are examples, i.e. they are part of the documentation, they +should generally be written like "real code". Thus, for example, instead of +using ``unwrap()`` or ``expect()``, use the ``?`` operator. For more background, +please see: + + https://rust.docs.kernel.org/kernel/error/type.Result.html#error-codes-in-c-and-rust + +The ``#[test]`` tests +--------------------- + +Additionally, there are the ``#[test]`` tests. Like for documentation tests, +these are also fairly similar to what you would expect from userspace, and they +are also mapped to KUnit. + +These tests are introduced by the ``kunit_tests`` procedural macro, which takes +the name of the test suite as an argument. + +Each test suite should be guarded by a Kconfig option in +``rust/kernel/Kconfig.test``. + +For instance, assume we want to test the function ``f`` from the documentation +tests section. We could write, in the same file where we have our function: + +.. code-block:: rust + + #[cfg(CONFIG_RUST_MYMOD_KUNIT_TEST)] + #[kunit_tests(rust_kernel_mymod)] + mod tests { + use super::*; + + #[test] + fn test_f() { + assert_eq!(f(10, 20), 30); + } + } + +And if we run it, the kernel log would look like:: + + KTAP version 1 + # Subtest: rust_kernel_mymod + # speed: normal + 1..1 + # test_f.speed: normal + ok 1 test_f + ok 1 rust_kernel_mymod + +Like documentation tests, the ``assert!`` and ``assert_eq!`` macros are mapped +back to KUnit and do not panic. Similarly, the +`? `_ +operator is supported, i.e. the test functions may return either nothing (i.e. +the unit type ``()``) or ``Result`` (i.e. any ``Result``). For instance: + +.. code-block:: rust + + #[cfg(CONFIG_RUST_MYMOD_KUNIT_TEST)] + #[kunit_tests(rust_kernel_mymod)] + mod tests { + use super::*; + + #[test] + fn test_g() -> Result { + let x = g()?; + assert_eq!(x, 30); + Ok(()) + } + } + +If we run the test and the call to ``g`` fails, then the kernel log would show:: + + KTAP version 1 + # Subtest: rust_kernel_mymod + # speed: normal + 1..1 + # test_g: ASSERTION FAILED at rust/kernel/lib.rs:335 + Expected is_test_result_ok(test_g()) to be true, but is false + # test_g.speed: normal + not ok 1 test_g + not ok 1 rust_kernel_mymod + +If a ``#[test]`` test could be useful as an example for the user, then please +use a documentation test instead. Even edge cases of an API, e.g. error or +boundary cases, can be interesting to show in examples. + +The ``rusttest`` host tests +--------------------------- + +These are userspace tests that can be built and run in the host (i.e. the one +that performs the kernel build) using the ``rusttest`` Make target:: + + make LLVM=1 rusttest + +This requires the kernel ``.config``. + +Currently, they are mostly used for testing the ``macros`` crate's examples. + +The Kselftests +-------------- + +Kselftests are also available in the ``tools/testing/selftests/rust`` folder. + +The kernel config options required for the tests are listed in the +``tools/testing/selftests/rust/config`` file and can be included with the aid +of the ``merge_config.sh`` script:: + + ./scripts/kconfig/merge_config.sh .config tools/testing/selftests/rust/config + +The kselftests are built within the kernel source tree and are intended to +be executed on a system that is running the same kernel. + +Once a kernel matching the source tree has been installed and booted, the +tests can be compiled and executed using the following command:: + + make TARGETS="rust" kselftest + +Refer to Documentation/dev-tools/kselftest.rst for the general Kselftest +documentation. -- cgit v1.3.1
