[PATCH v4 2/2] rust: kernel: Add KUnit tests for powerpc ARCH_WARN_ASM bug table emission
From: Mukesh Kumar Chaurasiya (IBM)
Date: Sat Sep 12 2026 - 03:01:27 EST
Verify that the __bug_table entry emitted by ARCH_WARN_ASM has a correct
bug_addr displacement — i.e. the '1b' label reference in _EMIT_BUG_ENTRY
resolves to the trap instruction — by calling find_bug() with the exact
virtual address of the twi instruction, mirroring what the real powerpc
trap handler does.
The trap address is captured at link time via a .dc.a 1b relocation placed
in .data by the global_asm! block. global_asm! is used instead of asm!
because LLVM eliminates asm! blocks in dead branches; global_asm! is
file-scope and always emitted. BUG_KUNIT_TRAP_ADDR is defined as a .global
symbol directly on the .dc.a word so the linker relocation lands on it —
a Rust static initialized to zero would end up in BSS where relocations are
not applied.
.dc.a emits a pointer-width word (4 bytes on ppc32, 8 bytes on ppc64),
so BUG_KUNIT_TRAP_ADDR is declared as usize on the Rust side, making the
tests correct on both ppc32 and ppc64. The global_asm! block is split into
two cfg-gated variants (CONFIG_PPC64 / !CONFIG_PPC64) to select the right
.balign since concat!() only accepts literals.
Five tests are included in the rust_kernel_bug_powerpc suite:
bug_entry_found - find_bug() returns non-NULL for the trap address,
proving the bug_addr displacement is correct
bug_entry_is_warning - the emitted entry has BUGFLAG_WARNING set
bug_entry_file - bug_get_file_line() returns the correct source
file (requires CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE)
bug_entry_line - the recorded line number is non-zero, confirming
the {line} operand was substituted correctly
(requires CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE)
bug_entry_addr_is_in_text - kernel_text_address() confirms the trap address
lies in kernel text, not data or zero
The suite is named rust_kernel_bug_powerpc and the Kconfig option
CONFIG_RUST_BUG_POWERPC_KUNIT_TEST depends on PPC && GENERIC_BUG,
covering both ppc32 and ppc64.
Tested on ppc64le pSeries: pass:5 fail:0 skip:0.
Tested on ppc32 QEMU mac99 G4: pass:5 fail:0 skip:0.
Tested on ppc64le QEMU pseries: pass:5 fail:0 skip:0.
