Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman: "Here's a first pull request for powerpc updates for 3.18. The bulk of the additions are for the "cxl" driver, for IBM's Coherent Accelerator Processor Interface (CAPI). Most of it's in drivers/misc, which Greg & Arnd maintain, Greg said he was happy for us to take it through our tree. There's the usual minor cleanups and fixes, including a bit of noise in drivers from some of those. A bunch of updates to our EEH code, which has been getting more testing. Several nice speedups from Anton, including 20% in clear_page(). And a bunch of updates for freescale from Scott" * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mpe/linux: (130 commits) cxl: Fix afu_read() not doing finish_wait() on signal or non-blocking cxl: Add documentation for userspace APIs cxl: Add driver to Kbuild and Makefiles cxl: Add userspace header file cxl: Driver code for powernv PCIe based cards for userspace access cxl: Add base builtin support powerpc/mm: Add hooks for cxl powerpc/opal: Add PHB to cxl mode call powerpc/mm: Add new hash_page_mm() powerpc/powerpc: Add new PCIe functions for allocating cxl interrupts cxl: Add new header for call backs and structs powerpc/powernv: Split out set MSI IRQ chip code powerpc/mm: Export mmu_kernel_ssize and mmu_linear_psize powerpc/msi: Improve IRQ bitmap allocator powerpc/cell: Make spu_flush_all_slbs() generic powerpc/cell: Move data segment faulting code out of cell platform powerpc/cell: Move spu_handle_mm_fault() out of cell platform powerpc/pseries: Use new defines when calling H_SET_MODE powerpc: Update contact info in Documentation files powerpc/perf/hv-24x7: Simplify catalog_read() ... |

Linux Kernel Selftests The kernel contains a set of "self tests" under the tools/testing/selftests/ directory. These are intended to be small unit tests to exercise individual code paths in the kernel. On some systems, hot-plug tests could hang forever waiting for cpu and memory to be ready to be offlined. A special hot-plug target is created to run full range of hot-plug tests. In default mode, hot-plug tests run in safe mode with a limited scope. In limited mode, cpu-hotplug test is run on a single cpu as opposed to all hotplug capable cpus, and memory hotplug test is run on 2% of hotplug capable memory instead of 10%. Running the selftests (hotplug tests are run in limited mode) ============================================================= To build the tests: $ make -C tools/testing/selftests To run the tests: $ make -C tools/testing/selftests run_tests - note that some tests will require root privileges. To run only tests targeted for a single subsystem: (including hotplug targets in limited mode) $ make -C tools/testing/selftests TARGETS=cpu-hotplug run_tests See the top-level tools/testing/selftests/Makefile for the list of all possible targets. Running the full range hotplug selftests ======================================== To build the tests: $ make -C tools/testing/selftests hotplug To run the tests: $ make -C tools/testing/selftests run_hotplug - note that some tests will require root privileges. Contributing new tests ====================== In general, the rules for for selftests are * Do as much as you can if you're not root; * Don't take too long; * Don't break the build on any architecture, and * Don't cause the top-level "make run_tests" to fail if your feature is unconfigured.
