cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
When vphn_unpack_associativity() is called from hcall_vphn() in kernel
the error is not seen while building vphn.c during kernel compilation.
This is because the top level Makefile includes '-fno-strict-aliasing'
flag always.
The issue here is that GCC 15 emits '-Wmaybe-uninitialized' due to type
punning between __be64[] and __b16* when accessing the buffer via
be16_to_cpup(). The underlying object is fully initialized but GCC 15
fails to track the aliasing due to the strict aliasing violation here.
Please refer [1] and [2]. This results in a false positive warning which
is promoted to an error under '-Werror'. This problem is not seen when
the compilation is performed with GCC 13 and 14. An issue [1] has also
been created on GCC bugzilla.
The selftest compiles fine with '-fno-strict-aliasing'. Since this GCC
flag is used to compile vphn.c in kernel too, the same flag should be
used to build vphn tests when compiling vphn.c in the selftest as well.
Fix this by including '-fno-strict-aliasing' during vphn.c compilation
in the selftest. This keeps the build working while limiting the scope
of the suppression to building vphn tests.

The new PowerPC VMX fast path (__copy_tofrom_user_power7_vmx) is not
exercised by existing copyloops selftests. This patch updates
the selftest to exercise the VMX variant, ensuring the VMX copy path
is validated.
Changes include:
- COPY_LOOP=test___copy_tofrom_user_power7_vmx with -D VMX_TEST is used
in existing selftest build targets.
- Inclusion of ../utils.c to provide get_auxv_entry() for hardware
feature detection.
- At runtime, the test skips execution if Altivec is not available.
- Copy sizes above VMX_COPY_THRESHOLD are used to ensure the VMX
path is taken.
This enables validation of the VMX fast path without affecting systems
that do not support Altivec.

While the GCC and Clang compilers already define __ASSEMBLER__
automatically when compiling assembler code, __ASSEMBLY__ is a
macro that only gets defined by the Makefiles in the kernel.
This is bad since macros starting with two underscores are names
that are reserved by the C language. It can also be very confusing
for the developers when switching between userspace and kernelspace
coding, or when dealing with uapi headers that rather should use
__ASSEMBLER__ instead. So let's standardize now on the __ASSEMBLER__
macro that is provided by the compilers.
This is almost a completely mechanical patch (done with a simple
"sed -i" statement), apart from tweaking two comments manually in
arch/powerpc/include/asm/bug.h and arch/powerpc/include/asm/kasan.h
(which did not have proper underscores at the end) and fixing a
checkpatch error about spaces in arch/powerpc/include/asm/spu_csa.h.

on registered PMU driver which is based on pvr
- generic_events_valid_test varies based on platform
- bhrb_filter_map_test: again its dependent on pmu to
decide which bhrb filter to use
- reserved_bits_mmcra_sample_elig_mode: randome sampling

Commit c814bf9589 ("powerpc/selftests: Use timersub() for

leading to a negative time delta being reported, eg:
test: gettimeofday
tags: git_version:v6.12-rc5-409-gdddf291c3030
time = -3.297781
success: gettimeofday
The correct order is minuend, subtrahend, which in this case is end,
start. Which gives:
test: gettimeofday
tags: git_version:v6.12-rc5-409-gdddf291c3030-dirty
time = 3.300650
success: gettimeofday

Currently the mitigation patching test errors out if the kernel is
tainted prior to the test running.
That causes the test to fail unnecessarily if some other test has caused
the kernel to be tainted, or if a proprietary or force module is loaded
for example.
Instead just warn if the kernel is tainted to begin with, and only
report a change in the taint state as an error in the test.

Fix some tests which weren't returning an error code from main.
Although these tests only ever return success, they can still fail if
they time out and the harness kills them. If that happens they still
return success to the shell, which is incorrect and confuses the higher

Each of the powerpc selftests runs with a timeout of 2 minutes by
default (see tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/harness.c).
But when tests are run with run_kselftest.sh it uses a timeout of 45
seconds, meaning some tests run OK standalone but fail when run with the
test runner.
So tell run_kselftest.sh to give each test 130 seconds, that should
allow the tests to complete, or be killed by the powerpc test harness
after 2 minutes. If for some reason the harness fails, or for the few
tests that don't use the harness, the 130 second timeout should catch
them if they get stuck.

The count_stcx_fail test runs for close to or just over 2 minutes, which
means it sometimes times out.
That's overkill for a test that just demonstrates some PMU counters
are working. Drop the 64 billion instruction case, to lower the runtime
to ~30s.

Currently exec-target.c is linked statically with libc, which on Fedora
at least requires installing an additional package (glibc-static).
If that package is not installed the build fails with:
CC exec_target
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lc: No such file or directory
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
All exec_target.c does is call sys_exit, which can be done easily enough
using inline assembly, and removes the requirement for a static libc to
be installed.

Currently building the powerpc selftests with USERCFLAGS set to anything
causes the build to break:
$ make -C tools/testing/selftests/powerpc V=1 USERCFLAGS=-Wno-error
...
gcc -Wno-error cache_shape.c ...
cache_shape.c:18:10: fatal error: utils.h: No such file or directory
18 | #include "utils.h"
| ^~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
This happens because the USERCFLAGS are added to CFLAGS in lib.mk, which
causes the check of CFLAGS in powerpc/flags.mk to skip setting CFLAGS at
all, resulting in none of the usual CFLAGS being passed. That can
be seen in the output above, the only flag passed to the compiler is
-Wno-error.
Fix it by dropping the conditional setting of CFLAGS in flags.mk.
Instead always set CFLAGS, but also append USERCFLAGS if they are set.
Note that appending to CFLAGS (with +=) wouldn't work, because flags.mk
is included by multiple Makefiles (to support partial builds), causing
CFLAGS to be appended to multiple times. Additionally that would place
the USERCFLAGS prior to the standard CFLAGS, meaning the USERCFLAGS
couldn't override the standard flags. Being able to override the
standard flags is desirable, for example for adding -Wno-error.
With the fix in place, the CFLAGS are set correctly, including the
USERCFLAGS:
$ make -C tools/testing/selftests/powerpc V=1 USERCFLAGS=-Wno-error
