The help text for CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_KCOV is stale, and describes the
feature as being enabled only for x86_64, when it is now enabled for
several architectures, including arm, arm64, powerpc, and s390.

Let's remove that stale help text, and update it along the lines of hat
for ARCH_HAS_FORTIFY_SOURCE, better describing when an architecture
should select CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_KCOV.

 "Here is the big char/misc driver patch pull request for 5.1-rc1.

  The largest thing by far is the new habanalabs driver for their AI
  accelerator chip. For now it is in the drivers/misc directory but will
  probably move to a new directory soon along with other drivers of this
  type.

  Other than that, just the usual set of individual driver updates and
  fixes. There's an "odd" merge in here from the DRM tree that they
  asked me to do as the MEI driver is starting to interact with the i915
  driver, and it needed some coordination. All of those patches have
  been properly acked by the relevant subsystem maintainers.

  All of these have been in linux-next with no reported issues, most for
  quite some time"

<title>vmalloc: add test driver to analyse vmalloc allocator</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.shady.money/linux/commit/?id=3f21a6b7ef207892841feecc3b9216e1a29c745f'/>
<id>urn:sha1:3f21a6b7ef207892841feecc3b9216e1a29c745f</id>
<content type='text'>
This adds a new kernel module for analysis of vmalloc allocator.  It is
only enabled as a module.  There are two main reasons this module should
be used for: performance evaluation and stressing of vmalloc subsystem.

It consists of several test cases.  As of now there are 8.  The module
has five parameters we can specify to change its the behaviour.

1) run_test_mask - set of tests to be run

id: 1,   name: fix_size_alloc_test
id: 2,   name: full_fit_alloc_test
id: 4,   name: long_busy_list_alloc_test
id: 8,   name: random_size_alloc_test
id: 16,  name: fix_align_alloc_test
id: 32,  name: random_size_align_alloc_test
id: 64,  name: align_shift_alloc_test
id: 128, name: pcpu_alloc_test

By default all tests are in run test mask.  If you want to select some
specific tests it is possible to pass the mask.  For example for first,
second and fourth tests we go 11 value.

2) test_repeat_count - how many times each test should be repeated
By default it is one time per test. It is possible to pass any number.
As high the value is the test duration gets increased.

3) test_loop_count - internal test loop counter. By default it is set
to 1000000.

4) single_cpu_test - use one CPU to run the tests
By default this parameter is set to false. It means that all online
CPUs execute tests. By setting it to 1, the tests are executed by
first online CPU only.

5) sequential_test_order - run tests in sequential order
By default this parameter is set to false. It means that before running
tests the order is shuffled. It is possible to make it sequential, just
set it to 1.

Performance analysis:
In order to evaluate performance of vmalloc allocations, usually it
makes sense to use only one CPU that runs tests, use sequential order,
number of repeat tests can be different as well as set of test mask.

For example if we want to run all tests, to use one CPU and repeat each
test 3 times. Insert the module passing following parameters:

single_cpu_test=1 sequential_test_order=1 test_repeat_count=3

with following output:

&lt;snip&gt;
Summary: fix_size_alloc_test passed: 3 failed: 0 repeat: 3 loops: 1000000 avg: 901177 usec
Summary: full_fit_alloc_test passed: 3 failed: 0 repeat: 3 loops: 1000000 avg: 1039341 usec
Summary: long_busy_list_alloc_test passed: 3 failed: 0 repeat: 3 loops: 1000000 avg: 11775763 usec
Summary: random_size_alloc_test passed 3: failed: 0 repeat: 3 loops: 1000000 avg: 6081992 usec
Summary: fix_align_alloc_test passed: 3 failed: 0 repeat: 3, loops: 1000000 avg: 2003712 usec
Summary: random_size_align_alloc_test passed: 3 failed: 0 repeat: 3 loops: 1000000 avg: 2895689 usec
Summary: align_shift_alloc_test passed: 0 failed: 3 repeat: 3 loops: 1000000 avg: 573 usec
Summary: pcpu_alloc_test passed: 3 failed: 0 repeat: 3 loops: 1000000 avg: 95802 usec
All test took CPU0=192945605995 cycles
&lt;snip&gt;

The align_shift_alloc_test is expected to be failed.

Stressing:
In order to stress the vmalloc subsystem we run all available test cases
on all available CPUs simultaneously. In order to prevent constant behaviour
pattern, the test cases array is shuffled by default to randomize the order
of test execution.

For example if we want to run all tests(default), use all online CPUs(default)
with shuffled order(default) and to repeat each test 30 times. The command
would be like:

modprobe vmalloc_test test_repeat_count=30

Expected results are the system is alive, there are no any BUG_ONs or Kernel
Panics the tests are completed, no memory leaks.
