However, the test doesn't always segfault, causing the test to run a # single time. # # This patch fixes the test by putting it within a loop and jumping, via # setcontext, just prior to the loop in case it segfaults. This way we get the # desired behavior (run the test COUNT_MAX times) regardless if it segfaults or # not. This also reduces the use of setcontext for control flow logic, keeping it # only in the segfault handler. # # Also, since 'count' is changed within the signal handler, it is declared as # volatile to prevent any compiler optimization getting confused with # asynchronous changes. # # Signed-off-by: Gustavo Luiz Duarte # Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman # Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200203160906.24482-3-gustavold@linux.ibm.com # < /opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-5.5.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux-gcc --version # < /opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-5.5.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux-ld --version # < git log --format=%s --max-count=1 4399efc3f2f04ad8e6948461795de04ed1358402 # < make -s -j 48 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/powerpc-fixes_ppc64e_defconfig_powerpc-gcc5 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-5.5.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux- ppc64e_defconfig # make -s -j 48 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/powerpc-fixes_ppc64e_defconfig_powerpc-gcc5 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-5.5.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux- INFO: Uncompressed kernel (size 0xc0c8a0) overlaps the address of the wrapper(0x400000) INFO: Fixing the link_address of wrapper to (0xd00000) Image Name: Linux-5.5.0-g4399efc3f2f0 Created: Wed Feb 5 02:05:13 2020 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed) Data Size: 5040411 Bytes = 4922.28 KiB = 4.81 MiB Load Address: 00000000 Entry Point: 00000000 Completed OK # rm -rf /kisskb/build/powerpc-fixes_ppc64e_defconfig_powerpc-gcc5 # Build took: 0:01:48.359506
