When the kernel is booted with a kunit filter (e.g.,
kunit.filter="speed!=slow"), the kunit executor dynamically allocates
copies of the filtered test suites using kmalloc/kmemdup.
During the initial boot execution, kunit_debugfs_create_suite() creates
debugfs files (such as /sys/kernel/debug/kunit/<suite>/run) and
permanently stores a pointer to the dynamically allocated suite in the
inode's i_private field.
Previously, the executor freed this dynamically allocated suite_set
immediately after executing the boot-time tests. Because the debugfs
nodes were not destroyed, any subsequent interaction with the debugfs
`run` file from userspace triggered a use-after-free (UAF). On systems
with architectural capabilities, like CHERI RISC-V, this resulted in
an immediate fatal hardware exception due to the invalidation of the
capability tags on the reclaimed memory. On other architectures, it
resulted in silent memory corruption.
Fix this UAF by properly coupling the lifetime of the filtered suite
memory allocation to the lifetime of the kunit subsystem and its
associated VFS nodes. Ownership of the boot-time suite_set is now
transferred to a global tracker ('kunit_boot_suites'), and the memory
is cleanly released in kunit_exit() during module teardown.

Replace the NULL checks with IS_ERR_OR_NULL() in
KUNIT_BINARY_STR_ASSERTION() to prevent the strcmp() faulting if a
passed pointer is an ERR_PTR.
Commit 7ece381aa7 ("kunit: Protect string comparisons against NULL")
added the checks for NULL on both pointers so that asserts would fail,
instead of faulting, if either pointer is NULL. But either pointer
could hold an ERR_PTR value.
This assumes that the assertion is expecting both strings to be valid,
and is asserting the equality of their _content_.

KUnit parameterized tests currently support two primary methods f
or getting parameters:
1. Defining custom logic within a generate_params() function.
2. Using the KUNIT_ARRAY_PARAM() and KUNIT_ARRAY_PARAM_DESC()
macros with a pre-defined static array and passing
the created *_gen_params() to KUNIT_CASE_PARAM().
These methods present limitations when dealing with dynamically
generated parameter arrays, or in scenarios where populating parameters
sequentially via generate_params() is inefficient or overly complex.
This patch addresses these limitations by adding a new `params_array`
field to `struct kunit`, of the type `kunit_params`. The
`struct kunit_params` is designed to store the parameter array itself,
along with essential metadata including the parameter count, parameter
size, and a get_description() function for providing custom descriptions
for individual parameters.
The `params_array` field can be populated by calling the new
kunit_register_params_array() macro from within a param_init() function.
This will register the array as part of the parameterized test context.
The user will then need to pass kunit_array_gen_params() to the
KUNIT_CASE_PARAM_WITH_INIT() macro as the generator function, if not
providing their own. kunit_array_gen_params() is a KUnit helper that will
use the registered array to generate parameters.
The arrays passed to KUNIT_ARRAY_PARAM(,DESC) will also be registered to
the parameterized test context for consistency as well as for higher
availability of the parameter count that will be used for outputting a KTAP
test plan for a parameterized test.
This modification provides greater flexibility to the KUnit framework,
allowing testers to easily register and utilize both dynamic and static
parameter arrays.

To enable more complex parameterized testing scenarios, the
generate_params() function needs additional context beyond just
the previously generated parameter. This patch modifies the
generate_params() function signature to include an extra
`struct kunit *test` argument, giving test users access to the
parameterized test context when generating parameters.
The `struct kunit *test` argument was added as the first parameter
to the function signature as it aligns with the convention of other
KUnit functions that accept `struct kunit *test` first. This also
mirrors the "this" or "self" reference found in object-oriented
programming languages.
This patch also modifies xe_pci_live_device_gen_param() in xe_pci.c
and nthreads_gen_params() in kcsan_test.c to reflect this signature
change.

Currently, KUnit parameterized tests lack a mechanism to share
resources across parameter runs because the same `struct kunit`
instance is cleaned up and reused for each run.
This patch introduces parameterized test context, enabling test
users to share resources between parameter runs. It also allows
setting up resources that need to be available for all parameter
runs only once, which is helpful in cases where setup is expensive.
To establish a parameterized test context, this patch adds a
parent pointer field to `struct kunit`. This allows resources added
to the parent `struct kunit` to be shared and accessible across all
parameter runs.
In kunit_run_tests(), the default `struct kunit` created is now
designated to act as the parameterized test context whenever a test
is parameterized.
Subsequently, a new `struct kunit` is made for each parameter run, and
its parent pointer is set to the `struct kunit` that holds the
parameterized test context.

Tests can allocate from virtual memory using kunit_vm_mmap(), which
transparently creates and attaches an mm_struct to the test runner if
one is not already attached. This is suitable for most cases, except for
when the code under test must access a task's mm before performing an
mmap. Expose kunit_attach_mm() as part of the interface for those
cases. This does not change the existing behavior.

kunit_driver_create() accepts a name for the driver, but does not copy
it, so if that name is either on the stack, or otherwise freed, we end
up with a use-after-free when the driver is cleaned up.
Instead, strdup() the name, and manage it as another KUnit allocation.
As there was no existing kunit_kstrdup(), we add one. Further, add a
kunit_ variant of strdup_const() and kfree_const(), so we don't need to
allocate and manage the string in the majority of cases where it's a
constant.
However, these are inline functions, and is_kernel_rodata() only works
for built-in code. This causes problems in two cases:
- If kunit is built as a module, __{start,end}_rodata is not defined.
- If a kunit test using these functions is built as a module, it will
suffer the same fate.
This fixes a KASAN splat with overflow.overflow_allocation_test, when
built as a module.
Restrict the is_kernel_rodata() case to when KUnit is built as a module,
which fixes the first case, at the cost of losing the optimisation.
Also, make kunit_{kstrdup,kfree}_const non-inline, so that other modules
using them will not accidentally depend on is_kernel_rodata(). If KUnit
is built-in, they'll benefit from the optimisation, if KUnit is not,
they won't, but the string will be properly duplicated.

For tests that need to allocate using vm_mmap() (e.g. usercopy and

itself. This requires bringing up a placeholder userspace mm.
This combines my earlier attempt at this with Mark Rutland's version[1].
Normally alloc_mm() and arch_pick_mmap_layout() aren't exported for
modules, so export these only for KUnit testing.

KUnit's assertion macros have variants which accept a printf format
string, to allow tests to specify a more detailed message on failure.
These (and the related KUNIT_FAIL() macro) ultimately wrap the
__kunit_do_failed_assertion() function, which accepted a printf format
specifier, but did not have the __printf attribute, so gcc couldn't warn
on incorrect agruments.
It turns out there were quite a few tests with such incorrect arguments.
Add the __printf() specifier now that we've fixed these errors, to
prevent them from recurring.

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
"The most interesting thing is probably the networking structs
reorganization and a significant amount of changes is around
self-tests.
Core & protocols:
- Analyze and reorganize core networking structs (socks, netdev,
netns, mibs) to optimize cacheline consumption and set up build
time warnings to safeguard against future header changes
This improves TCP performances with many concurrent connections up
to 40%
- Add page-pool netlink-based introspection, exposing the memory
usage and recycling stats. This helps indentify bad PP users and
possible leaks
- Refine TCP/DCCP source port selection to no longer favor even
source port at connect() time when IP_LOCAL_PORT_RANGE is set. This
lowers the time taken by connect() for hosts having many active
connections to the same destination
- Refactor the TCP bind conflict code, shrinking related socket
structs
- Refactor TCP SYN-Cookie handling, as a preparation step to allow
arbitrary SYN-Cookie processing via eBPF
- Tune optmem_max for 0-copy usage, increasing the default value to
128KB and namespecifying it
- Allow coalescing for cloned skbs coming from page pools, improving
RX performances with some common configurations
- Reduce extension header parsing overhead at GRO time
- Add bridge MDB bulk deletion support, allowing user-space to
request the deletion of matching entries
- Reorder nftables struct members, to keep data accessed by the
datapath first
- Introduce TC block ports tracking and use. This allows supporting
multicast-like behavior at the TC layer
- Remove UAPI support for retired TC qdiscs (dsmark, CBQ and ATM) and
classifiers (RSVP and tcindex)
- More data-race annotations
- Extend the diag interface to dump TCP bound-only sockets
- Conditional notification of events for TC qdisc class and actions
- Support for WPAN dynamic associations with nearby devices, to form
a sub-network using a specific PAN ID
- Implement SMCv2.1 virtual ISM device support
- Add support for Batman-avd mulicast packet type
BPF:
- Tons of verifier improvements:
- BPF register bounds logic and range support along with a large
test suite
- log improvements
- complete precision tracking support for register spills
- track aligned STACK_ZERO cases as imprecise spilled registers.
This improves the verifier "instructions processed" metric from
single digit to 50-60% for some programs
- support for user's global BPF subprogram arguments with few
commonly requested annotations for a better developer
experience
- support tracking of BPF_JNE which helps cases when the compiler
transforms (unsigned) "a > 0" into "if a == 0 goto xxx" and the
like
- several fixes
- Add initial TX metadata implementation for AF_XDP with support in
mlx5 and stmmac drivers. Two types of offloads are supported right
now, that is, TX timestamp and TX checksum offload
- Fix kCFI bugs in BPF all forms of indirect calls from BPF into
kernel and from kernel into BPF work with CFI enabled. This allows
BPF to work with CONFIG_FINEIBT=y
- Change BPF verifier logic to validate global subprograms lazily
instead of unconditionally before the main program, so they can be
guarded using BPF CO-RE techniques
- Support uid/gid options when mounting bpffs
- Add a new kfunc which acquires the associated cgroup of a task
within a specific cgroup v1 hierarchy where the latter is
identified by its id
- Extend verifier to allow bpf_refcount_acquire() of a map value
field obtained via direct load which is a use-case needed in
sched_ext
- Add BPF link_info support for uprobe multi link along with bpftool
integration for the latter
- Support for VLAN tag in XDP hints
- Remove deprecated bpfilter kernel leftovers given the project is
developed in user-space (https://github.com/facebook/bpfilter)
Misc:
- Support for parellel TC self-tests execution
- Increase MPTCP self-tests coverage
- Updated the bridge documentation, including several so-far
undocumented features
- Convert all the net self-tests to run in unique netns, to avoid
random failures due to conflict and allow concurrent runs
- Add TCP-AO self-tests
- Add kunit tests for both cfg80211 and mac80211
- Autogenerate Netlink families documentation from YAML spec
- Add yml-gen support for fixed headers and recursive nests, the tool
can now generate user-space code for all genetlink families for
which we have specs
- A bunch of additional module descriptions fixes
- Catch incorrect freeing of pages belonging to a page pool
Driver API:
- Rust abstractions for network PHY drivers; do not cover yet the
full C API, but already allow implementing functional PHY drivers
in rust
- Introduce queue and NAPI support in the netdev Netlink interface,
allowing complete access to the device <> NAPIs <> queues
relationship
- Introduce notifications filtering for devlink to allow control
application scale to thousands of instances
- Improve PHY validation, requesting rate matching information for
each ethtool link mode supported by both the PHY and host
- Add support for ethtool symmetric-xor RSS hash
- ACPI based Wifi band RFI (WBRF) mitigation feature for the AMD
platform

cleanly if either pointer is NULL, instead of causing a NULL pointer
dereference in the strcmp().
A test failure could be that a string is unexpectedly NULL. This could

at that point. It's preferable that the KUNIT_EXPECT_STR*() macros can

The existing kunit log tests have been updated for using a

are already tests for the underlying string_stream.
As the log tests now depend on string_stream functions they cannot
build when kunit-test is a module. They have been surrounded by
a #if to replace them with skipping version when the test is
