selftests/arm64: Treat KSM merge_across_nodes as optional

2026-09-14T11:19:18+00:00

[ Upstream commit 1a0dba077f34a2f8faa98308d30d4b546d073145 ] The MTE KSM test requires write access to KSM sysfs but does not check that it is running as root. It also unconditionally saves, enables and restores the merge_across_nodes attribute. The kernel only creates this attribute when CONFIG_NUMA=y, so a non-NUMA kernel prints the following message three times even though every KSM subtest passes: # ERR: missing /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/merge_across_nodes Skip the test when it is not running as root. Check that the optional attribute is readable and writable, treating ENOENT as its expected absence on non-NUMA kernels and skipping the test for other access failures. Only save, enable and restore the attribute when it is available. Check MTE availability before the privilege and sysfs checks so systems without MTE retain the existing feature-unavailable skip result. This preserves the existing behavior on NUMA kernels without requiring NUMA or reducing KSM coverage on single-node systems.

selftests/zram: fix kernel_gte() for POSIX sh

2026-09-14T11:19:05+00:00

[ Upstream commit 649ba27dfac784427a01f9c95c09ecbcb88900d8 ] Commit fc4eb486a59d ("selftests/zram: Skip max_comp_streams interface on newer kernel") added kernel_gte() to zram_lib.sh. The function uses the bash-specific [[ ... ]] conditional, but zram selftests source this file while running under /bin/sh. On systems where /bin/sh is dash, such as Debian, the following test fails: dash -c ' kernel_major=6; kernel_minor=1; major=6; minor=0 if [ $kernel_major -gt $major ]; then echo ok elif [[ $kernel_major -eq $major && $kernel_minor -ge $minor ]]; then echo ok fi' with: dash: 5: [[: not found Use separate POSIX test expressions joined by && instead.

selftests: timers: leap-a-day: Fix -w option and update usage comment

2026-09-14T11:18:56+00:00

[ Upstream commit b4b66151a71445f3a71574136ddc82968c7b175e ] Commit 98b74e1f3104 ("kselftests: timers: leap-a-day: Change default arguments to help test runs") replaced the -s option with -w and made "wait for the leap second" the non-default behaviour, but it only updated the switch/case handling. Two things were left inconsistent: - The getopt() option string still lists 's' instead of 'w', so passing -w is rejected as an invalid option and the new behaviour cannot be selected at all. - The file header comment still documents the removed -s option and an outdated default for -i. Fix the getopt() string to accept 'w' (matching the existing case 'w': handler) and update the header comment to describe -w, -t and the current -i default.

selftests/bpf: Fix memory leak in msg_alloc_iov

[ Upstream commit 602701718649936eb287bf6c7ecf870ec54c6f71 ] In the msg_alloc_iov function, the iov pointer is only assigned to msg->msg_iov after all memory allocations complete successfully.

selftests/bpf: Fix memory leak in msg_alloc_iov error path

[ Upstream commit 0bebfaa39deadec21638f6fba553eae12627a26d ] In msg_alloc_iov(), when calloc() fails for an individual iov_base allocation, the error path frees all previously allocated iov_base entries but fails to free the iov array itself that was allocated with calloc() at the beginning of the function. This results in a memory leak of the iov array. Add free(iov) in the unwind_iov error path to ensure proper cleanup of all allocated memory.

selftests/rseq: Replace glibc-specific __GNUC_PREREQ with portable check

selftests/clone3: fix wild pointer access of getline due to missing init

2026-08-19T15:12:09+00:00

commit 8f6f9fd93cd7a5dd607ad5cd910476dd68fff3ed upstream. Patch series "selftests: Add missing initalization of pointer passed to getline", v2. This patch (of 2): Clone3_set_tid uses getline(&line, ...) in a loop to read the child's process status. The code expects that getline allocates the buffer for the line on the first loop iteration. According to the Open Group Spec[1], char *line has to be null pointer for this: > ssize_t getline(char **restrict lineptr, ...); > If *lineptr is a null pointer or if the object pointed to by *lineptr > is of insufficient size, an object shall be allocated as if by malloc() > or the object shall be reallocated as if by realloc()[...]. However, char *line is only declared, leading to an undefined value that is potentially non-null. In an example run with Musl v1.2.6, the realloc call[2] of getdelim, which implements getline, triggers a segfault: ./run_kselftest.sh --test clone3:clone3_set_tid [ 1366.165898] kselftest: Running tests in clone3 ... [ 1367.799244] clone3_set_tid[811]: unhandled signal 11 code 0x1 at 0x0000000000000000 in libc.so[68184,3fbf69f000+4c000] [ 1367.802808] CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 811 Comm: clone3_set_tid Not tainted ..

Looking at the realloc implementation, Musl mallocs for a null pointer memory. But for a non-null pointer, it assumes it's passed a valid pointer to the heap and tries to access its meta-data. This leads to the segfault we see: void *realloc(void *p, size_t n) { if (!p) return malloc(n); if (size_overflows(n)) return 0; struct meta *g = get_meta(p); ... } Fix this by properly initializing the line pointer to NULL.

selftests/mm: allow PUD-level entries in compound testcase of hmm tests

2026-07-24T13:49:04+00:00

[ Upstream commit 224ed0e019b122d08580362abe57574a78f2b5fa ] Patch series "selftests/mm: assorted fixes for hmm-tests", v3. This series fixes a few issues in hmm-tests that show up when page-size and huge-page configuration differ from the hardcoded assumptions the tests were written for (PMD/THP sizing, default hugepage size, and related cases). It also includes a fix to exclusive_cow: the test ignored the return value of fork(), so both parent and child ran the same teardown path. This patch (of 3): The HMM compound testcase currently assumes only PMD-level mappings and fails on systems where default_hugepagesz=1G is set, because the region is then reported by the device at PUD level. Determine the mapping level (PMD or PUD) the device reports for the first page of the range and require every page to match that level exactly via ASSERT_EQ(). This accepts PUD-level mappings while preserving the expected/observed protection values printed on failure, and rejects a fragmented mapping that mixes PMD- and PUD-level entries within the same range (which a per-page OR check would have let pass).

selftests: mptcp: drop nanoseconds width specifier

2026-06-19T11:21:45+00:00

[ Upstream commit 01ff78e4b3d98689184c52d97f9575dfbdc3b10f ] Using the format specifier +%s%3N with GNU date is honoured, and only prints 3 digits of the nanoseconds portion of the seconds since epoch, which corresponds to the milliseconds. The uutils implementation of date currently does not honour this, and always prints all 9 digits. This is a known issue [1], but can be worked around by adapting this test to use nanoseconds instead of microseconds, and then divide it by 1e6. This fix is similar to what has been done on systemd side [2], and it is needed to run the selftests on Ubuntu 26.04, containing uutils 0.8.0. Note that the Fixes tag is there even if this patch doesn't fix an issue in the kernel selftests, but it is useful for those using uutils 0.8.0.
