[PATCH 0/4] usercopy: generic tests + arm64 fixes
From: Mark Rutland
Date: Tue Mar 14 2023 - 07:50:43 EST
This series adds tests for the usercopy functions, and fixes some
deficiencies on arm64.
This is a follow-up to Robin's earlier usercopy refresh [1], where we
found some issues and Will had asked for tests. In the process of
writing tests, I discovered arm64 had some latent issues, and running
the tests on other architectures, it looks like most have issues...
Al, I'd appreciate if you could take a look at the first couple of
patches and check if I've got the intended semantics correct. I think
I've got that right for __raw_copy_{to,from}_user(), but I'm not sure
whether clear_user() is expected to behave the same, and I may have
missed something or assumed something overly strong.
Catalin, Will, the last two patches fix arm64's implementation of
__raw_copy_to_user() and clear_user(), per the understanding above. I
believe these are correct (as they've passed exhaustive testing), and
benchmarking shows they're at least as good as the current
implementations.
Thanks,
Mark.
