    selftests/mm: Update va_high_addr_switch.sh to check CPU for la57 flag · 52e63d67
    Audra Mitchell authored
    In order for the page table level 5 to be in use, the CPU must have the
    setting enabled in addition to the CONFIG option. Check for the flag to be
    set to avoid false test failures on systems that do not have this cpu flag
    set.
    
    The test does a series of mmap calls including three using the
    MAP_FIXED flag and specifying an address that is 1<<47 or 1<<48.  These
    addresses are only available if you are using level 5 page tables,
    which requires both the CPU to have the capabiltiy (la57 flag) and the
    kernel to be configured.  Currently the test only checks for the kernel
    configuration option, so this test can still report a false positive. 
    Here are the three failing lines:
    
    $ ./va_high_addr_switch | grep FAILED
    mmap(ADDR_SWITCH_HINT, 2 * PAGE_SIZE, MAP_FIXED): 0xffffffffffffffff - FAILED
    mmap(HIGH_ADDR, MAP_FIXED): 0xffffffffffffffff - FAILED
    mmap(ADDR_SWITCH_HINT, 2 * PAGE_SIZE, MAP_FIXED): 0xffffffffffffffff - FAILED
    
    I thought (for about a second) refactoring the test so that these three
    mmap calls will only be run on systems with the level 5 page tables
    available, but the whole point of the test is to check the level 5
    feature...
