An error snuck in between two recent conflicting changes:
Until recently ->setup() used negative values to indicate
normal test termination. This was changed in
commit fa10366cc6 ("selftests/resctrl: Allow ->setup() to return
errors") that transitioned ->setup() to use negative values
to indicate errors and a new END_OF_TESTS to indicate normal
termination.
commit 42e3b093eb ("selftests/resctrl: Fix set up schemata with 100%
allocation on first run in MBM test") continued to use
negative return to indicate normal test termination.
Fix mbm_setup() to use the new END_OF_TESTS to indicate
error-free test termination.

Before exiting each test function(run_cmt/cat/mbm/mba_test()),
test results("ok","not ok") are printed by ksft_test_result() and then
temporary result files are cleaned by function
cmt/cat/mbm/mba_test_cleanup().
However, before running ksft_test_result(),
function cmt/cat/mbm/mba_test_cleanup()

After creating a child process with fork() in CAT test, if a signal such
as SIGINT is received, the parent process will be terminated immediately,
and therefore the child process will not be killed and also resctrlfs is
not unmounted.
There is a signal handler registered in CMT/MBM/MBA tests, which kills
child process, unmount resctrlfs, cleanups result files, etc., if a
signal such as SIGINT is received.
Commonize the signal handler registered for CMT/MBM/MBA tests and
reuse it in CAT.
To reuse the signal handler to kill child process use global bm_pid
instead of local bm_pid.
Also, since the MBA/MBA/CMT/CAT are run in order, unregister the signal
handler at the end of each test so that the signal handler cannot be
inherited by other tests.

After creating a child process with fork() in CAT test, if an error
occurs when parent process runs cat_val() or check_results(), the child
process will not be killed and also resctrlfs is not unmounted. Also if
an error occurs when child process runs cat_val() or check_results(),
the parent process will wait for the pipe message from the child process
which will never be sent by the child process and the parent process
cannot proceed to unmount resctrlfs.
Synchronize the exits between the parent and child. An error could
occur whether in parent process or child process. The parent process
always kills the child process and runs umount_resctrlfs(). The
child process always waits to be killed by the parent process.

There is a comment "Set up shemata with 100% allocation on the first run"
in function mbm_setup(), but there is an increment bug and the condition
"num_of_runs == 0" will never be met and write_schemata() will never be
called to set schemata to 100%. Even if write_schemata() is called in MBM
test, since it is not supported for MBM test it does not set the schemata.
This is currently fine because resctrl_val_parm->mum_resctrlfs is always 1
and umount/mount will be run in each test to set the schemata to 100%.
To support the usage when MBM test does not unmount/remount resctrl
filesystem before the test starts, fix to call write_schemata() and
set schemata properly when the function is called for the first time.
Also, remove static local variable 'num_of_runs' because this is not
needed as there is resctrl_val_param->num_of_runs which should be used
instead like in cat_setup().

umount_resctrlfs() directly attempts to unmount resctrl file system without
checking if resctrl FS is already mounted or not. It returns 0 on success
and on failure it prints an error message and returns an error status.
Calling umount_resctrlfs() when resctrl FS isn't mounted will return an
error status.
There could be situations where-in the caller might not know if resctrl
FS is already mounted or not and the caller might still want to unmount
resctrl FS if it's already mounted (For example during teardown).
To support above use cases, change umount_resctrlfs() such that it now
first checks if resctrl FS is already mounted or not and unmounts resctrl
FS only if it's already mounted.
unmount resctrl FS upon exit. For example, running only mba test on a
Broadwell (BDW) machine (MBA isn't supported on BDW CPU).
This happens because validate_resctrl_feature_request() would mount resctrl
FS to check if mba is enabled on the platform or not and finds that the H/W
doesn't support mba and hence will return false to run_mba_test(). This in
turn makes the main() function return without unmounting resctrl FS.

There could be two reasons why a resctrl feature might not be enabled on
the platform
1. H/W might not support the feature
2. Even if the H/W supports it, the user might have disabled the feature
through kernel command line arguments
Hence, any resctrl unit test (like cmt, cat, mbm and mba) before starting
the test will first check if the feature is enabled on the platform or not.
If the feature isn't enabled, then the test returns with an error status.
For example, if MBA isn't supported on a platform and if the user tries to
run MBA, the output will look like this
ok mounting resctrl to "/sys/fs/resctrl"
not ok MBA: schemata change
But, not supporting a feature isn't a test failure. So, instead of treating
it as an error, use the SKIP directive of the TAP protocol. With the
change, the output will look as below
ok MBA # SKIP Hardware does not support MBA or MBA is disabled

Cache related tests (like CAT and CMT) depend on a variable called
no_of_bits to run. no_of_bits defines the number of contiguous bits
that should be set in the CBM mask and a user can pass a value for
no_of_bits using -n command line argument. If a user hasn't passed any
value, it defaults to 5 (randomly chosen value).
Hard coding no_of_bits to 5 will make the cache tests fail to run on
systems that support maximum cbm mask that is less than or equal to 5 bits.
Hence, don't hard code no_of_bits value.
If a user passes a value for "no_of_bits" using -n option, use it.
Otherwise, no_of_bits is equal to half of the maximum number of bits in
the cbm mask.
Please note that CMT test is still hard coded to 5 bits. It will change in
subsequent patches that change CMT test.

MBM unit test starts fill_buf (default built-in benchmark) in a new con_mon
group (c1, m1) and records resctrl reported mbm values and iMC (Integrated
Memory Controller) values every second. It does this for five seconds
(randomly chosen value) in total. It then calculates average of resctrl_mbm
values and imc_mbm values and if the difference is greater than 300 MB/sec
(randomly chosen value), the test treats it as a failure. MBA unit test is
similar to MBM but after every run it changes schemata.
Checking for a difference of 300 MB/sec doesn't look very meaningful when
the mbm values are changing over a wide range. For example, below are the
values running MBA test on SKL with different allocations
1. With 10% as schemata both iMC and resctrl mbm_values are around 2000
MB/sec
2. With 100% as schemata both iMC and resctrl mbm_values are around 10000
MB/sec
A 300 MB/sec difference between resctrl_mbm and imc_mbm values is
acceptable at 100% schemata but it isn't acceptable at 10% schemata because
that's a huge difference.
So, fix this by checking for percentage difference instead of absolute
difference i.e. check if the difference between resctrl_mbm value and
imc_mbm value is within 5% (randomly chosen value) of imc_mbm value. If the
difference is greater than 5% of imc_mbm value, treat it is a failure.

Resctrl test suite before running any unit test (like cmt, cat, mbm and
mba) should first check if the feature is enabled (by kernel and not just
supported by H/W) on the platform or not.
validate_resctrl_feature_request() is supposed to do that. This function
intends to grep for relevant flags in /proc/cpuinfo but there are several
issues here
1. validate_resctrl_feature_request() calls fgrep() to get flags from
/proc/cpuinfo. But, fgrep() can only return a string with maximum of 255
characters and hence the complete cpu flags are never returned.
2. The substring search logic is also busted. If strstr() finds requested
resctrl feature in the cpu flags, it returns pointer to the first
occurrence. But, the logic negates the return value of strstr() and
hence validate_resctrl_feature_request() returns false if the feature is
present in the cpu flags and returns true if the feature is not present.
3. validate_resctrl_feature_request() checks if a resctrl feature is
reported in /proc/cpuinfo flags or not. Having a cpu flag means that the
H/W supports the feature, but it doesn't mean that the kernel enabled
it. A user could selectively enable only a subset of resctrl features
using kernel command line arguments. Hence, /proc/cpuinfo isn't a
reliable source to check if a feature is enabled or not.
The 3rd issue being the major one and fixing it requires changing the way
validate_resctrl_feature_request() works. Since, /proc/cpuinfo isn't the
right place to check if a resctrl feature is enabled or not, a more
appropriate place is /sys/fs/resctrl/info directory. Change
validate_resctrl_feature_request() such that,
1. For cat, check if /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3 directory is present or not
2. For mba, check if /sys/fs/resctrl/info/MB directory is present or not
3. For cmt, check if /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON directory is present and
check if /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mon_features has llc_occupancy
4. For mbm, check if /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON directory is present and
check if /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mon_features has
mbm_<total/local>_bytes
Please note that only L3_CAT, L3_CMT, MBA and MBM are supported. CDP and L2
variants can be added later.

check_resctrlfs_support() does the following
1. Checks if the platform supports resctrl file system or not by looking
for resctrl in /proc/filesystems
2. Calls opendir() on default resctrl file system path
(i.e. /sys/fs/resctrl)
3. Checks if resctrl file system is mounted or not by looking at
/proc/mounts
Steps 2 and 3 will fail if the platform does not support resctrl file
system. So, there is no need to check for them if step 1 fails.
Fix this by returning immediately if the platform does not support
resctrl file system.

show_cache_info() functions are defined separately in CAT and CMT

CMT (Cache Monitoring Technology) [1] is a H/W feature that reports cache
occupancy of a process. resctrl selftest suite has a unit test to test CMT
for LLC but the test is named as CQM (Cache Quality Monitoring).
Furthermore, the unit test source file is named as cqm_test.c and several
functions, variables, comments, preprocessors and statements widely use
"cqm" as either suffix or prefix. This rampant misusage of CQM for CMT
might confuse someone who is newly looking at resctrl selftests because
this feature is named CMT in the Intel Software Developer's Manual.
Hence, rename all the occurrences (unit test source file name, functions,
variables, comments and preprocessors) of cqm with cmt.
[1] Please see Intel SDM, Volume 3, chapter 17 and section 18 for more
information on CMT: https://software.intel.com/content/www/us/en/develop/articles/intel-sdm.html

resctrl test suite accepts command line arguments (like -b, -t, -n and -p)
as documented in the help. But passing -n and -p throws an invalid option
error. This happens because -n and -p are missing in the list of
characters that getopt() recognizes as valid arguments. Hence, they are
treated as invalid options.
Fix this by adding them to the list of characters that getopt() recognizes
as valid arguments. Please note that the main() function already has the
logic to deal with the values passed as part of these arguments and hence
no changes are needed there.

The resctrl tests can accept a CPU on which the tests are run and use
default of CPU #1 if it is not provided. In the CAT test a "sibling CPU"
is determined that is from the same package where another thread will be
run.
The current algorithm with which a "sibling CPU" is determined does not
take the provided/default CPU into account and when that CPU is the
first CPU in a package then the "sibling CPU" will be selected to be the
same CPU since it starts by picking the first CPU from core_siblings_list.
Fix the "sibling CPU" selection by taking the provided/default CPU into
account and ensuring a sibling that is a different CPU is selected.

Checking resctrl features call strcmp() to compare feature strings
(e.g. "mba", "cat" etc). The checkings are error prone and don't have
good coding style. Define the constant strings in macros and call
strncmp() to solve the potential issues.

/usr/bin/ld: resctrl_tests.o:<src_dir>/resctrl.h:65: multiple definition
of `bm_pid'; cache.o:<src_dir>/resctrl.h:65: first defined here
Other variables are ppid, tests_run, llc_occup_path, is_amd. Compiler
isn't happy because these variables are defined globally in two .c files
but are not declared as extern.
To fix issues for the global variables, declare them as extern.

Reinette reported following compilation issue on Fedora 32, gcc version
10.1.1
/usr/bin/ld: cqm_test.o:<src_dir>/cqm_test.c:22: multiple definition of
`cache_size'; cat_test.o:<src_dir>/cat_test.c:23: first defined here
The same issue is reported for long_mask, cbm_mask, count_of_bits etc
variables as well. Compiler isn't happy because these variables are
defined globally in two .c files namely cqm_test.c and cat_test.c and
the compiler during compilation finds that the variable is already
defined (multiple definition error).
Taking a closer look at the usage of these variables reveals that these
variables are used only locally in functions such as cqm_resctrl_val()
(defined in cqm_test.c) and cat_perf_miss_val() (defined in cat_test.c).
These variables are not shared between those functions. So, there is no
need for these variables to be global. Hence, fix this issue by making
them static variables.

David reported a buffer overflow error in the check_results() function of
the cmt unit test and he suggested enabling _FORTIFY_SOURCE gcc compiler
option to automatically detect any such errors.
Feature Test Macros man page describes_FORTIFY_SOURCE as below
"Defining this macro causes some lightweight checks to be performed to
detect some buffer overflow errors when employing various string and memory
manipulation functions (for example, memcpy, memset, stpcpy, strcpy,
strncpy, strcat, strncat, sprintf, snprintf, vsprintf, vsnprintf, gets, and
wide character variants thereof). For some functions, argument consistency
is checked; for example, a check is made that open has been supplied with a
mode argument when the specified flags include O_CREAT. Not all problems
are detected, just some common cases.
If _FORTIFY_SOURCE is set to 1, with compiler optimization level 1 (gcc
-O1) and above, checks that shouldn't change the behavior of conforming
programs are performed.
With _FORTIFY_SOURCE set to 2, some more checking is added, but some
conforming programs might fail.
Some of the checks can be performed at compile time (via macros logic
implemented in header files), and result in compiler warnings; other checks
take place at run time, and result in a run-time error if the check fails.
Use of this macro requires compiler support, available with gcc since
version 4.0."
Fix the buffer overflow error in the check_results() function of the cmt
unit test and enable _FORTIFY_SOURCE gcc check to catch any future buffer
overflow errors.
