[PATCH 3/3] selftests/bpf: Add selftest for packet-pointer Spectre v1 gadget

From: Luis Gerhorst
Date: Wed Sep 13 2023 - 08:32:42 EST


When allowing speculative leaks by enabling packet pointer accesses
without CAP_PERFMON (i.e., without having [1] reverted):

$ tools/testing/selftests/bpf/test_progs --name=tc_bpf
tc_bpf_non_root:PASS:set_cap_bpf_cap_net_admin 0 nsec
tc_bpf_non_root:PASS:disable_cap_sys_admin 0 nsec
tc_bpf_non_root:FAIL:test_tc_bpf__open_and_load unexpected pointer: 0x55bbd81969a0
Summary: 0/1 PASSED, 0 SKIPPED, 1 FAILED

With [1] reverted:

$ tools/testing/selftests/bpf/test_progs --name=tc_bpf
#238/1 tc_bpf/tc_bpf_root:OK
#238/2 tc_bpf/tc_bpf_non_root:OK
#238 tc_bpf:OK
Summary: 1/2 PASSED, 0 SKIPPED, 0 FAILED
