David, Brendan, Rae,

I am seeing the following error when I run

./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --arch x86_64

ERROR:root:ld:arch/x86/realmode/rm/realmode.lds:236: undefined symbol `sev_es_trampoline_start' referenced in expression

I isolated it to dependency on CONFIG_AMD_MEM_ENCRYPT


That's interesting. I recall seeing this issue briefly about a year
ago on an internal branch, and we worked around it there by enabling
CONFIG_AMD_MEM_ENCRYPT (which worked).

But I've been totally unable to reproduce it this morning: are you
seeing this on any particular branch / config / environment?

linux_next - I did allmodconfig build prior to running the tests.
That means I had to run make ARCH=x86_64 mrproper before running

./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --arch x86_64

I tried something different checking out a fresh
linux_next repo and running ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --arch x86_64

No errors on

./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --arch x86_64

I will try this again and let you know. Can you try this as well.

- Clean linux_next and run tests
- Run tests after buidling allmodconfig and mrproper


Thanks, Shuah.

Alas, I've tried both on a clean linux-next (next-20250312), and after
doing an allmodconfig build (and make mrproper), and am still unable
to reproduce this here.

I also dug up the old 5.10-based version we saw something similar on,
and wasn't able to reproduce it there, either. (That had been built
with clang, but using clang on upstream doesn't seem to reproduce it
either.)

I'll continue to play around with different setups, but none of the
obvious things seem to work. Worst-case, I don't think it'd be a
_problem_ to make EFI + AMD_MEM_ENCRYPT the default for the
x86_64/qemu KUnit configuration.


I tried again starting with a clean linux_next repo next-20250313

- Ran tests first
- Built allmodconfig
- Ran mrproper
- Ran tests

Saw no problems. Let's watch and see if we can narrow the problem.
For now I was able to test the pr I will be sending soon.

thanks,
