2023-08-02selftests/powerpc/ptrace: Explain why tests are skippedBenjamin Gray
Many tests require specific hardware features/configurations that a typical machine might not have. As a result, it's common to see a test is skipped. But it is tedious to find out why a test is skipped when all it gives is the file location of the skip macro. Convert SKIP_IF() to SKIP_IF_MSG(), with appropriate descriptions of why the test is being skipped. This gives a general idea of why a test is skipped, which can be looked into further if it doesn't make sense.

2021-08-26selftests: Skip TM tests on synthetic TM implementationsJordan Niethe
Transactional Memory was removed from the architecture in ISA v3.1. For threads running in P8/P9 compatibility mode on P10 a synthetic TM implementation is provided. In this implementation, tbegin. always sets cr0 eq meaning the abort handler is always called. This is not an issue as users of TM are expected to have a fallback non transactional way to make forward progress in the abort handler. The TEXASR indicates if a transaction failure is due to a synthetic implementation. Some of the TM self tests need a non-degenerate TM implementation for their testing to be meaningful so check for a synthetic implementation and skip the test if so.

2019-10-29selftests/powerpc: Fixup clobbers for TM testsMichael Ellerman
Some of our TM (Transactional Memory) tests, list "r1" (the stack pointer) as a clobbered register. GCC >= 9 doesn't accept this, and the build breaks: ptrace-tm-spd-tar.c: In function 'tm_spd_tar': ptrace-tm-spd-tar.c:31:2: error: listing the stack pointer register 'r1' in a clobber list is deprecated [-Werror=deprecated] 31 | asm __volatile__( | ^~~ ptrace-tm-spd-tar.c:31:2: note: the value of the stack pointer after an 'asm' statement must be the same as it was before the statement We do have some fairly large inline asm blocks in these tests, and some of them do change the value of r1. However they should all return to C with the value in r1 restored, so I think it's legitimate to say r1 is not clobbered. As Segher points out, the r1 clobbers may have been added because of the use of `or 1,1,1`, however that doesn't actually clobber r1. Segher also points out that some of these tests do clobber LR, because they call functions, and that is not listed in the clobbers, so add that where appropriate.

2018-11-25selftests/powerpc: Allocate base registersBreno Leitao
Some ptrace selftests are passing input operands using a constraint that can allocate any register for the operand, and using these registers on load/store operations. If the register allocated by the compiler happens to be zero (r0), it might cause an invalid memory address access, since load and store operations consider the content of 0x0 address if the base register is r0, instead of the content of the r0 register. For example: r1 := 0xdeadbeef r0 := 0xdeadbeef ld r2, 0(1) /* will load into r2 the content of r1 address */ ld r2, 0(0) /* will load into r2 the content of 0x0 */ In order to avoid this possible problem, the inline assembly constraint should be aware that these registers will be used as a base register, thus, r0 should not be allocated. Other than that, this patch removes inline assembly operands that are not used by the tests.
