Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v2 3/8] selftests/bpf: report SKIP for arena tests a compiler cannot build
Date: Wed, 28 Oct 2026 13:41:53 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261028204158.1021284-4-vineet.gupta@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261028204158.1021284-1-vineet.gupta@linux.dev>
Tests guarded by __BPF_FEATURE_ADDR_SPACE_CAST don't have a dummy fall back
when the compiler doesn't support the feature: so they are absent from such
a report entirely.
Every subtest inside one of those guards is invisible: 24 across seven
files, plus the five in stream_arena_fault_address, which has no guard
and fails to load instead (addressed separately, later in this series).
Give each guard an #else with a dummy marked __skip(), so the skip gap is
reported rather than invisible. Add __skip_without_arena for it, which
expands to __skip() with a fixed reason when the compiler cannot do arena.
Measured on bpf-next with a stock bpf-gcc, test_progs before and after:
seven subtests appear that were previously absent from the report
altogether, and arena_kfunc_jit goes OK -> SKIP because every subtest
it has is now one of them.
arena_kfunc_jit/arena_unsupported SKIP
compute_live_registers/arena_unsupported SKIP
jit_insns/arena_unsupported SKIP
verifier_arena/arena_unsupported SKIP
verifier_arena_large/arena_unsupported SKIP
verifier_ldsx/arena_unsupported SKIP
verifier_zext/arena_unsupported SKIP
jit_insns_arena.c needs the same treatment and is easy to miss: both
of its programs are inside the guard, so without arena support the
object has none at all and RUN_TESTS(jit_insns_arena) runs zero
subtests without saying so.
