Subject: [PATCH 12/13] selftests/ftrace: add uprobe tests on overlayfs
Date: Sun, 15 Nov 2026 15:01:42 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261115-work-ovl-d_real-v1-12-ca155efbcb2e@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261115-work-ovl-d_real-v1-0-ca155efbcb2e@kernel.org>
Add uprobe tests on overlayfs with a data-only layer:
- a metacopy file whose redirect points at nothing: creating the probe
fails, the error log has the new message and nothing gets tainted by a
WARN
- a metacopy file whose data lives in the data-only layer: the data is
looked up when the probe is created and the probe hits when the file
is executed
None of the existing tests puts a uprobe on overlayfs.
