Emil Tsalapatis says: ==================== bpf: introduce helper for populating bpf_cpumask Some BPF programs like scx schedulers have their own internal CPU mask types, mask types, which they must transform into struct bpf_cpumask instances before passing them to scheduling-related kfuncs. There is currently no way to efficiently populate the bitfield of a bpf_cpumask from BPF memory, and programs must use multiple bpf_cpumask_[set, clear] calls to do so. Introduce a kfunc helper to populate the bitfield of a bpf_cpumask from valid BPF memory with a single call. Changelog : ----------- v6->v7 v6:https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20250307153847.8530-1-emil@etsalapatis.com/ Addressed feedback by Hou Tao: * Removed RUN_TESTS invocation causing tests to run twice * Added is_test_task guard to new selftests * Removed extraneous __success attribute from existing selftests v5->v6 v5:https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20250307041738.6665-1-emil@etsalapatis.com/ Addressed feedback by Hou Tao: * Removed __success attributes from cpumask selftests * Fixed stale patch description that used old function name v4->v5 v4: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20250305211235.368399-1-emil@etsalapatis.com/ Addressed feedback by Hou Tao: * Readded the tests in tools/selftests/bpf/prog_tests/cpumask.c, turns out the selftest entries were not duplicates. * Removed stray whitespace in selftest. * Add patch the missing selftest to prog_tests/cpumask.c * Explicitly annotate all cpumask selftests with __success The last patch could very well be its own cleanup patch, but I rolled it into this series because it came up in the discussion. If the last patch in the series has any issues I'd be fine with applying the first 3 patches and dealing with it separately. v3->v4 v3: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20250305161327.203396-1-emil@etsalapatis.com/ * Removed new tests from tools/selftests/bpf/prog_tests/cpumask.c because they were being run twice. Addressed feedback by Alexei Starovoitov: * Added missing return value in function kdoc * Added an additional patch fixing some missing kdoc fields in kernel/bpf/cpumask.c Addressed feedback by Tejun Heo: * Renamed the kfunc to bpf_cpumask_populate to avoid confusion w/ bitmap_fill() v2->v3 v2: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20250305021020.1004858-1-emil@etsalapatis.com/ Addressed feedback by Alexei Starovoitov: * Added back patch descriptions dropped from v1->v2 * Elide the alignment check for archs with efficient unaligned accesses v1->v2 v1: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20250228003321.1409285-1-emil@etsalapatis.com/ Addressed feedback by Hou Tao: * Add check that the input buffer is aligned to sizeof(long) * Adjust input buffer size check to use bitmap_size() * Add selftest for checking the bit pattern of the bpf_cpumask * Moved all selftests into existing files Signed-off-by: Emil Tsalapatis (Meta) <emil@etsalapatis.com> ==================== Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250309230427.26603-1-emil@etsalapatis.com Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
