[PATCH v1 9/9] virt: Add Heki KUnit tests

Mickaël Salaün mic at digikod.net
Fri May 5 15:20:46 UTC 2023


This adds a new CONFIG_HEKI_TEST option to run tests at boot.  Indeed,
because this patch series forbids the loading of kernel modules after
the boot, we need to make built-in tests.  Furthermore, because we use
some symbols not exported to modules (e.g., kernel_set_to_readonly) this
could not work as modules.

To run these tests, we need to boot the kernel with the heki_test=N boot
argument with N selecting a specific test:
1. heki_test_cr_disable_smep: Check CR pinning and try to disable SMEP.
2. heki_test_write_to_const: Check .rodata (const) protection.
3. heki_test_write_to_ro_after_init: Check __ro_after_init protection.
4. heki_test_exec: Check non-executable kernel memory.

This way to select tests should not be required when the kernel will
properly handle the triggered synthetic page faults.  For now, these
page faults make the kernel loop.

All these tests temporarily disable the related kernel self-protections
and should then failed if Heki doesn't protect the kernel.  They are
verbose to make it easier to understand what is going on.
