Add a self-corrupting test for the persistent ring buffer. This will inject an erroneous value to some sub-buffer pages (where the index is even or multiples of 5) in the persistent ring buffer when the kernel panics, and checks whether the number of detected invalid pages and the total entry_bytes are the same as the recorded values after reboot. This ensures that the kernel can correctly recover a partially corrupted persistent ring buffer after a reboot or panic. The test only runs on the persistent ring buffer whose name is "ptracingtest". The user has to fill it with events before a kernel panic. To run the test, enable CONFIG_RING_BUFFER_PERSISTENT_INJECT and add the following kernel cmdline: reserve_mem=20M:2M:trace trace_instance=ptracingtest^traceoff@trace panic=1 Run the following commands after the 1st boot: cd /sys/kernel/tracing/instances/ptracingtest echo 1 > tracing_on echo 1 > events/enable sleep 3 echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger After panic message, the kernel will reboot and run the verification on the persistent ring buffer, e.g. Ring buffer meta [2] invalid buffer page detected Ring buffer meta [2] is from previous boot! (318 pages discarded) Ring buffer testing [2] invalid pages: PASSED (318/318) Ring buffer testing [2] entry_bytes: PASSED (1300476/1300476) Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260522171051.260140328@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> |
