Verify that the __bug_table entry emitted by ARCH_WARN_ASM has a correct
bug_addr displacement — i.e. the arch's trap label reference resolves to
the trap instruction — by calling find_bug() with the exact virtual address
of the trap, mirroring what the real trap handler does.
To support all architectures, each arch that implements ARCH_WARN_ASM now
defines ARCH_WARN_ASM_TRAP_LABEL, a string constant naming the local label
at which the trap instruction is placed:
x86 "1" (ud2 at label 1:)
powerpc "1" (twi at label 1:)
riscv "1" (ebreak at label 1:)
arm64 "14471" (brk placed at 14471: by __BUG_ENTRY_END)
s390 "0" (mc at label 0:)
The label is used consistently: in ARCH_WARN_ASM itself, in the
bug_addr back-reference inside __BUG_ENTRY / _EMIT_BUG_ENTRY, and in
the new generated_arch_warn_asm_trap_label.rs template, which the
C preprocessor expands at build time into a .rs file included by the
test's 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 in .data on top of a
.dc.a {trap_label}b relocation so the linker resolves the trap address
into it at link time. A Rust static initialized to zero would land in
BSS where relocations are not applied.
The global_asm! string mirrors warn_flags!() exactly — same "/* {size} */"
prefix, same generated_arch_warn_asm.rs and generated_arch_reachable_asm.rs
includes, same operands — plus the .pushsection/.dc.a/.popsection tail.
This keeps the test structurally in sync with the macro it exercises.
The CONFIG_RUST_BUG_WARN_ASM_KUNIT_TEST option depends on GENERIC_BUG
and excludes ARM, LOONGARCH, and UML (which use a different warn_flags!
path without ARCH_WARN_ASM).
Five tests are included in the rust_kernel_bug_warn_asm suite:
bug_entry_found - find_bug() returns non-NULL for the trap
address, proving bug_addr 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 (CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE only)
bug_entry_line - recorded line number is non-zero, confirming
the {line} operand was substituted correctly
(CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE only)
bug_entry_addr_is_in_text - kernel_text_address() confirms the trap
address lies in kernel text
Tested (pass:5 fail:0 skip:0) on:
x86_64 - QEMU x86_64
powerpc - QEMU pseries ppc64le (pseries_le_defconfig)
riscv - QEMU riscv64
arm64 - QEMU aarch64
s390 - QEMU s390x

Note: I sent this out as a powerpc specific tests earlier. During review
process some people wanted these to be arch independent. Hence sending
this out as an RFC.

What exactly are you trying to verify here, and why? Has there been some _specific_ issue on powerpc that caused you to look at this? Mark.

Not really a fan of that. And I can't really tell what you're doing with
it either. The kunit is in Rust and thus unreadable :-(
I would rather you fix up is_valid_bugaddr(), some architectures seem to
have an always true stub because of the callchains always being from the
break instruction.

Hey Peter,
thanks for the suggestion. I will fix up the is_valid_bugaddr for
powerpc. I am not very good with other archs asm but i can do it for
ppc32 and ppc64.

Mukesh

I have no idea why anybody wants to do this, but it looks like I'm not
alone :) In any case: the check is wrong.
s390 uses only the monitor call instruction and this should be
return insn == 0xaf00;
At least it is not possible to set a kprobe on bug instructions, which
would make this "interesting".

What problem is this trying to solve?
Mukesh's original patch seems to be trying to check whether we compiled
things correctly (such that the bug_table entry points at the expected
insturction), and I don't think that warrants a runtime check, but (as
per my reply to him) I don't understand why that's a thing to check in
the first place.
On arm64 we only call is_valid_bugaddr() under do_el1_brk64() ->
call_el1_break_hook() -> bug_brk_handler(). We only call
bug_brk_handler() when HW has taken a BRK exception with the BUG_BRK_IMM
immediate, and that can only be triggered by executing the right
instruction (BRK #BUG_BRK_IMM), which we ONLY use for BUG(). and WARN().
So I don't see why any change is necessary here.
If the HW has somehow taken a BRK exception from any other instruction
(which would presumably be a HW bug), there won't be a bug_table entry,
and so __report_bug() will fail to find an entry, and will return
BUG_TRAP_TYPE_NONE, same as for the !is_valid_bugaddr() case.
Mark.

Right, so I wasn't at all sure what he was doing, Rust is still mostly
unreadable garbage to me.
But I figured I'd much rather see him use is_valid_bugaddr() to do
runtime checks than whatever dodgy games he was playing with that label.
So *if* doing runtime checks is what is wanted, then is_valid_bugaddr()
needs to actually work, because then it grows a user outside of the BRK
handler.
Lots of IFs etc, but since I am having a head-ache and am mostly
useless, I figured I'd distract myself doing whatever :-)

Thanks; I think we're aligned. :) Before we delve into implementation details, I'd like to understand the problem Mukesh is trying to solve. Mark.
