Subject: [PATCH v2 00/16] selftests: vDSO: parse_vdso: Make compatible with nolibc
Date: Wed, 26 Feb 2025 12:44:39 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250226-parse_vdso-nolibc-v2-0-28e14e031ed8@linutronix.de> (raw)

For testing the functionality of the vDSO, it is necessary to build
userspace programs for multiple different architectures.
It is additional work to acquire matching userspace cross-compilers with
full C libraries and then building root images out of those.
The kernel tree already contains nolibc, a small, header-only C library.
By using it, it is possible to build userspace programs without any
additional dependencies.
For example the kernel.org crosstools or multi-target clang can be used
to build test programs for a multitude of architectures.
While nolibc is very limited, it is enough for many selftests.
With some minor adjustments it is possible to make parse_vdso.c
compatible with nolibc.
As an example, vdso_standalone_test_x86 is now built from the same C
code as the regular vdso_test_gettimeofday, while still being completely
standalone.
Also drop the dependency of parse_vdso.c on the elf.h header from libc and only
use the one from the kernel's UAPI.

While this series is useful on its own now, it will also integrate with the
kunit UAPI framework currently under development:

Changes in v2:
- Provide a limits.h header in nolibc
- Pick up Reviewed-by tags from Kees
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250203-parse_vdso-nolibc-v1-0-9cb6268d77be@linutronix.de
