====================
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
