selftests: complete kselftest include centralization

2025-11-27T22:24:31+00:00

This follow-up patch completes centralization of kselftest.h and
ksefltest_harness.h includes in remaining seltests files, replacing all
relative paths with a non-relative paths using shared -I include path in
lib.mk

Tested with gcc-13.3 and clang-18.1, and cross-compiled successfully on
riscv, arm64, x86_64 and powerpc arch.

selftests: cachestat: Fix warning on declaration under label

2025-10-22T15:23:18+00:00

Fix warning caused from declaration under a case label. The proper way
is to declare variable at the beginning of the function. The warning
came from running clang using LLVM=1; and is as follows:

-test_cachestat.c:260:3: warning: label followed by a declaration is a C23 extension [-Wc23-extensions]
  260 |                 char *map = mmap(NULL, filesize, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
      |

selftests: cachestat: add tests for mmap, refactor and enhance mmap test for cachestat validation

2025-08-02T19:06:09+00:00

Add a cohesive test case that verifies cachestat behavior with
memory-mapped files using mmap().  Also refactor the test logic to reduce
redundancy, improve error reporting, and clarify failure messages for both
shmem and mmap file types.

selftests/cachestat: Fix print_cachestat format

2023-10-13T20:08:10+00:00

Compiling cachestat selftest after adding a __printf() attribute to
ksft_print_msg() exposes a -Wformat warning in print_cachestat().
The format specifier in printf() call expects long int variables and
received long long int.

Change format specifiers to long long int so they match passed
variables.

selftests: cachestat: catch failing fsync test on tmpfs

2023-08-24T21:59:47+00:00

The cachestat kselftest runs a test on a normal file, which is created
temporarily in the current directory.  Among the tests it runs there is a
call to fsync(), which is expected to clean all dirty pages used by the
file.

However the tmpfs filesystem implements fsync() as noop_fsync(), so the
call will not even attempt to clean anything when this test file happens
to live on a tmpfs instance.  This happens in an initramfs, or when the
current directory is in /dev/shm or sometimes /tmp.

To avoid this test failing wrongly, use statfs() to check which filesystem
the test file lives on.  If that is "tmpfs", we skip the fsync() test.

Since the fsync test is only one part of the "normal file" test, we now
execute this twice, skipping the fsync part on the first call.  This way
only the second test, including the fsync part, would be skipped.

selftests: cachestat: test for cachestat availability

2023-08-24T21:59:47+00:00

Patch series "selftests: cachestat: fix run on older kernels", v2.

I ran all kernel selftests on some test machine, and stumbled upon
cachestat failing (among others).  These patches fix the run on older
kernels and when the current directory is on a tmpfs instance.


This patch (of 2):

As cachestat is a new syscall, it won't be available on older kernels, for
instance those running on a development machine.  At the moment the test
reports all tests as "not ok" in this case.

Test for the cachestat syscall availability first, before doing further
tests, and bail out early with a TAP SKIP comment.

This also uses the opportunity to add the proper TAP headers, and add one
check for proper error handling (illegal file descriptor).

selftests: cachestat: use proper syscall number macro

2023-08-16T17:12:44+00:00

At the moment the cachestat syscall number is hard coded into the test
source code.
Remove that and replace it with the proper __NR_cachestat macro.
That ensures compatibility should other architectures pick a different
number.
