Patch series "selftests/mm: add memory failure selftests", v4.
Introduce selftests to validate the functionality of memory failure.
These tests help ensure that memory failure handling for anonymous pages,
pagecaches pages works correctly, including proper SIGBUS delivery to user
processes, page isolation, and recovery paths.
Currently madvise syscall is used to inject memory failures. And only
anonymous pages and pagecaches are tested. More test scenarios, e.g.
hugetlb, shmem, thp, will be added. Also more memory failure injecting
methods will be supported, e.g. APEI Error INJection, if required.
This patch (of 3):
This patch adds a new kselftest to validate memory failure handling for
anonymous pages. The test performs the following operations:
1. Allocates anonymous pages using mmap().
2. Injects memory failure via madvise syscall.
3. Verifies expected error handling behavior.
4. Unpoison memory.
This test helps ensure that memory failure handling for anonymous pages
works correctly, including proper SIGBUS delivery to user processes, page
isolation and recovery paths.

the test module for these library functions

makes BPF symbol names, sizes, and line numbers available to the GDB
debugger

increases the flexibility of KEXEC Handover. Also preparation for LUO
- "Live Update Orchestrator" (Pasha Tatashin)
is a major new feature targeted at cloud environments. Quoting the
cover letter:
This series introduces the Live Update Orchestrator, a kernel
subsystem designed to facilitate live kernel updates using a
kexec-based reboot. This capability is critical for cloud
environments, allowing hypervisors to be updated with minimal
downtime for running virtual machines. LUO achieves this by
preserving the state of selected resources, such as memory,
devices and their dependencies, across the kernel transition.
As a key feature, this series includes support for preserving
memfd file descriptors, which allows critical in-memory data, such
as guest RAM or any other large memory region, to be maintained in
RAM across the kexec reboot.
Mike Rappaport merits a mention here, for his extensive review and
testing work.
- "kexec: reorganize kexec and kdump sysfs" (Sourabh Jain)

Several of the MM tests have a pattern of printing a description of the
test to be run then reporting the actual TAP result using a generic string
not connected to the specific test, often in a shared function used by
many tests. The name reported typically varies depending on the specific
result rather than the test too. This causes problems for tooling that
works with test results, the names reported with the results are used to
deduplicate tests and track them between runs so both duplicated names and
changing names cause trouble for things like UIs and automated bisection.
As a first step towards matching these tests better with the expectations
of kselftest provide helpers which record the test name as part of the
initial print and then use that as part of reporting a result.
This is not added as a generic kselftest helper partly because the use of
a variable to store the test name doesn't fit well with the header only
implementation of kselftest.h and partly because it's not really an
intended pattern. Ideally at some point the mm tests that use it will be
updated to not need it.

MADV_PAGEOUT, MADV_POPULATE_READ, MADV_COLLAPSE are conditionally
defined as necessary. However, that was being done in .c files, and a
new build failure came up that would have been automatically avoided had
these been in a common header file.
So consolidate and move them all to vm_util.h, which fixes the build
failure.
An alternative approach from Muhammad Usama Anjum was: rely on "make
headers" being required, and include asm-generic/mman-common.h. This
works in the sense that it builds, but it still generates warnings about
duplicate MADV_* symbols, and the goal here is to get a fully clean (no
warnings) build here.

Patch series "selftests/mm: new test for FOLL_LONGTERM on file mappings".
Let's add some selftests to make sure that:
* R/O long-term pinning always works of file mappings
* R/W long-term pinning always works in MAP_PRIVATE file mappings
* R/W long-term pinning only works in MAP_SHARED mappings with special
filesystems (shmem, hugetlb) and fails with other filesystems (ext4, btrfs,
xfs).
The tests make use of the gup_test kernel module to trigger ordinary GUP
and GUP-fast, and liburing (similar to our COW selftests). Test with
memfd, memfd hugetlb, tmpfile() and mkstemp(). The latter usually gives
us a "real" filesystem (ext4, btrfs, xfs) where long-term pinning is
expected to fail.
Note that these selftests don't contain any actual reproducers for data
corruptions in case R/W long-term pinning on problematic filesystems
"would" work.
Maybe we can later come up with a racy !FOLL_LONGTERM reproducer that can
reuse an existing interface to trigger short-term pinning (I'll look into
that next).

Add two helpers to register/unregister to an uffd. Use them to drop
duplicate codes.
This patch also drops assert_expected_ioctls_present() and
get_expected_ioctls(). Reasons:
- It'll need a lot of effort to pass test_type==HUGETLB into it from
the upper, so it's the simplest way to get rid of another global var
- The ioctls returned in UFFDIO_REGISTER is hardly useful at all,
because any app can already detect kernel support on any ioctl via its
corresponding UFFD_FEATURE_*. The check here is for sanity mostly but
it's probably destined no user app will even use it.
- It's not friendly to one future goal of uffd to run on old
kernels, the problem is get_expected_ioctls() compiles against
UFFD_API_RANGE_IOCTLS, which is a value that can change depending on
where the test is compiled, rather than reflecting what the kernel
underneath has. It means it'll report false negatives on old kernels
so it's against our will.
So let's make our lives easier.
