cover Automate initrd generation for v4.21/v5.0

Hello!

This series causes rcutorture to automatically generate the required initrd when needed, instead of giving very obtuse error messages.

1. Automatically create initrd directory, courtesy of Connor Shu.

2. Add initrd support for systems lacking dracut.

3. Make initrd/init execute in userspace.

4. Add cross-compile capability to initrd.sh.

5. Always strip using the cross-compiler, courtesy of Willy Tarreau.

6. Check initrd/init instead of initrd only, courtesy of Willy Tarreau.

7. Import a copy of nolibc, courtesy of Willy Tarreau.

8. Make use of nolibc when available, courtesy of Willy Tarreau.

Thanx, Paul

PATCH 1/8 rcutorture: Automatically create initrd directory

From: Connor Shu <[email protected]>

The rcutorture scripts currently expect the user to create the tools/testing/selftests/rcutorture/initrd directory. Should the user fail to do this, the kernel build will fail with obscure and confusing error messages. This commit therefore adds explicit checks for the tools/testing/selftests/rcutorture/initrd directory, and if not present, creates one on systems on which dracut is installed. If this directory could not be created, a less obscure error message is emitted and the test is aborted.

[ paulmck: Adapt the script to fit into the rcutorture framework and
severely abbreviate the initrd/init script. ]

PATCH 2/8 rcutorture: Add initrd support for systems lacking dracut

In reply to Paul E. McKenney

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <[email protected]>

The support for creating initrd directories using dracut is a great improvement over having to always hand-create them, it is a bit annoying to have to install some otherwise irrelevant package just to be able to run rcutorture. This commit therefore adds support for creating initrd directories on systems innocent of dracut. You do need gcc, but then again you need that to build the kernel (or to build llvm) in any case.

The idea is to create an initrd directory containing nothing but a statically linked binary having a for-loop over a long-term sleep(). The result is a Linux kernel with almost no userspace: even the time-honored /dev, /lib, /tmp, and /usr directories are gone. In fact, the only directory present is "/", but only because I don't know how to get rid of it, at least short of not having an initrd in the first place. Although statically linked binaries are much maligned, and rightly so, their disadvantages seem to be irrelevant for this particular use case. From https://www.akkadia.org/drepper/no_static_linking.html:

1. Fixes are difficult to apply to hordes of widely scattered
statically linked binaries. But in this case, there is only one binary, but there would otherwise be no fewer than four libraries.

2. Security measures like local address randomization cannot be used.
Prudence prevents me from asserting that it is impossible to base a remote attack on a networking-free rcutorture instance. Nevertheless, bonus points to the first person who comes up with such an attack!

3. More efficient use of physical memory. Not in this case, given
that libc is 1.8MB and the statically linked binary "only" 800K.

4. Features such as locales, name service switch (NSS),
internationalized domain names (IDN) tool, and so on require dynamic linking. Bonus points to the first person coming up with a valid rcutorture use case requiring these features in its initrd.

5. Accidental violations of (L)GPL. Actually, this change actually
helps -avoid- such violations by reducing the temptation to pass around tarballs of rcutorture-ready initrd directories. After all, the rcutorture scripts automatically create an initrd directory for you, so why bother with the tarballs?

6. Tools and hacks like ltrace, LD_PRELOAD, LD_PROFILE, and LD_AUDIT
don't work. Again, bonus points to the first person coming up with a valid rcutorture use case requiring these features in its initrd.

Nevertheless, the script will use dracut if available, and will create the statically linked binary only when dracut are missing. Those preferring the smaller initrd directory resulting from the statically linked binary (like me) are free to hand-edit mkinitrd.sh to remove the code using dracut. ;-)

PATCH 3/8 rcutorture: Make initrd/init execute in userspace

In reply to Paul E. McKenney

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <[email protected]>

Currently, the initrd/init script and executable remain blocked almost all the time. However, it is necessary to test nohz_full userspace execution, which both variants of initrd/init fail to do. This commit therefore causes initrd/init to spend about a millisecond per second executing in userspace.

PATCH 4/8 rcutorture: Add cross-compile capability to initrd.sh

This adds the CROSS_COMPILE environment to the initrd.sh script's gcc command to enable cross compilation.

PATCH 5/8 rcutorture: Always strip using the cross-compiler

In reply to Paul E. McKenney

From: Willy Tarreau <[email protected]>

Strip using -s on the compiler command line instead of calling the "strip" utility as the latter isn't necessarily compatible with the target arch.

PATCH 6/8 rcutorture: Check initrd/init instead of initrd only

In reply to Paul E. McKenney

From: Willy Tarreau <[email protected]>

If the build fails, we can end up with an empty initrd directory which prevents the build script from operating again. Better rely on the resulting init executable instead.

PATCH 7/8 rcutorture: Import a copy of nolibc

In reply to Paul E. McKenney

From: Willy Tarreau <[email protected]>

This is a definition of the most common syscalls needed in minimalist init executables, allowing to statically build them with no external dependencies. It is sufficient in its current form to build rcutorture's init on x86_64, i386, arm, and arm64. Others have not been ported or tested. Updates may be found here :

+ *   - syscall number is passed in v0 (starts at 0xfa0).
+ *   - arguments are in a0, a1, a2, a3, then the stack. The caller needs to

+ *   - Many registers are clobbered, in fact only a0..a2 and s0..s8 are
+ *     preserved. See: https://www.linux-mips.org/wiki/Syscall as well as
+ *     scall32-o32.S in the kernel sources.
+ *   - the system call is performed by calling "syscall"
+ *   - syscall return comes in v0, and register a3 needs to be checked to know
+ *     if an error occured, in which case errno is in v0.
+ *   - the arguments are cast to long and assigned into the target registers

PATCH 8/8 rcutorture: Make use of nolibc when available

In reply to Paul E. McKenney

From: Willy Tarreau <[email protected]>

This reduces the size of the init executable from ~800 kB to ~800 bytes on x86_64. This is only implemented for x86_64, i386, arm and arm64. Others not tested.
