[PATCH 1/2] selftests/powerpc: Allow choice of CI memory location in alignment_handler test

Jordan Niethe jniethe5 at gmail.com
Wed May 20 12:11:02 AEST 2020


The alignment handler selftest needs cache-inhibited memory and
currently /dev/fb0 is relied on to provided this. This prevents running
the test on systems without /dev/fb0 (e.g., mambo). Read the commandline
arguments for an optional path to be used instead, as well as an
optional offset to be for mmaping this path.

  * This selftest exercises the powerpc alignment fault handler.

  * We create two sets of source and destination buffers, one in regular memory,
- * the other cache-inhibited (we use /dev/fb0 for this).
+ * the other cache-inhibited (by default we use /dev/fb0 for this, but an
+ * alterative path for cache-inhibited memory may be provided).
+ *
+ * One way to get cache-inhibited memory is to use the "mem" kernel parameter
+ * to limit the kernel to less memory than actually exists.  Addresses above
+ * the limit may still be accessed but will be treated as cache-inhibited. For
+ * example, if there is actually 4GB of memory and the parameter "mem=3GB" is
+ * used, memory from address 0xC0000000 onwards is treated as cache-inhibited.
+ * To access this region /dev/mem is used. The kernel should be configured
+ * without CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM. In this case use:
+ *         ./alignment_handler /dev/mem 0xc0000000
  *
  * We initialise the source buffers, then use whichever set of load/store
  * instructions is under test to copy bytes from the source buffers to the
