selftests/acct: add taskstats TGID retention test

2026-05-29T04:24:41+00:00

Add a kselftest for the taskstats TGID aggregation fix. The test creates a worker thread, snapshots TGID taskstats while the worker is still alive, lets the worker exit, and then verifies that the TGID CPU total does not regress after the thread has been reaped. The pass/fail check intentionally keys off ac_utime + ac_stime only, which is the primary user-visible regression fixed by the taskstats change and is less sensitive to scheduling noise than context-switch counters.

selftests: complete kselftest include centralization

2025-11-27T22:24:31+00:00

This follow-up patch completes centralization of kselftest.h and ksefltest_harness.h includes in remaining seltests files, replacing all relative paths with a non-relative paths using shared -I include path in lib.mk Tested with gcc-13.3 and clang-18.1, and cross-compiled successfully on riscv, arm64, x86_64 and powerpc arch.

selftests: acct: Add ksft_exit_skip if not running as root

2025-01-15T00:06:31+00:00

If the selftest is not running as root, it should skip not fail and give an appropriate warning to the user. This patch adds ksft_exit_skip() if the test is not running as root. Logs: Before change: TAP version 13 1..1 ok 1 # SKIP This test needs root to run! After change: TAP version 13 1..1 ok 2 # SKIP This test needs root to run!

selftest: acct: Add selftest for the acct() syscall

2024-08-01T19:55:34+00:00

The acct() system call enables or disables process accounting. If accounting is turned on, records for each terminating process are appended to a specified filename as it terminates. An argument of NULL causes accounting to be turned off. This patch will add a test for the acct() syscall. Signed-off-by: Abdulrasaq Lawani Signed-off-by: Shuah Khan
