selftests: create test-specific kconfig fragments

2016-02-25T16:47:52+00:00

Create the config file in each directory of testcase which need more kernel configuration than the default defconfig. User could use these configs with merge_config.sh script: Enable config for specific testcase: (export ARCH=xxx #for cross compiling) ./scripts/kconfig/merge_config.sh .config \ tools/testing/selftests/xxx/config Enable configs for all testcases: (export ARCH=xxx #for cross compiling) ./scripts/kconfig/merge_config.sh .config \ tools/testing/selftests/*/config Signed-off-by: Bamvor Jian Zhang Reviewed-by: Shuah Khan Signed-off-by: Shuah Khan

ftracetest: Fix instance test to use proper shell command for pids

2016-02-19T17:11:21+00:00

The ftracetest instance test used parsing of the "jobs" output to find the pid of the subshell that is executed previously. But this is not portable to all major shells that may run these tests. The proper way to get the pid of the subshell is the shell command "$!". This will return the pid of the previously executed command. Use that instead, otherwise the test does not work in all environments.

ftracetest: Add instance create and delete test

2015-11-24T14:29:14+00:00

Create a test to test instance creation and deletion. Several tasks are created that create 3 directories and delete them. The tasks all create the same directories. This places a stress on the code that creates and deletes instances. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

selftests: kprobe: Choose an always-defined function to probe

2015-11-03T23:54:51+00:00

do_fork() is no longer defined on x86, so probe _do_fork() instead. Fixes: 3033f14ab78c ("clone: support passing tls argument via C ...") Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings Signed-off-by: Shuah Khan

selftests: change install command to rsync

2015-09-14T22:43:51+00:00

The command of install could not handle the special files in exec testcases, change the default rule to rsync to fix this. The installation is unchanged after this commit. Suggested-by: Michael Ellerman Signed-off-by: Bamvor Jian Zhang Signed-off-by: Shuah Khan

selftests/ftrace: install test.d

2015-05-26T21:58:06+00:00

The ftrace test requires the directory test.d and all of it's contents to be present during execution. Use TEST_DIRS to ensure this is copied to the INSTALL_PATH. Acked-by: Michael Ellerman Signed-off-by: Tyler Baker Signed-off-by: Shuah Khan

ftracetest: Do not use usleep directly

2015-04-03T15:16:32+00:00

The usleep is only provided on distros from Redhat so running ftracetest on other distro resulted in failures due to the missing usleep. The reason of using [u]sleep in the test was to generate (scheduler) events. It can be done various ways like this: yield() { ping localhost -c 1 || sleep .001 || usleep 1 || sleep 1; } For more information to the history of this patch, please refer to: Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1427329943-16896-1-git-send-email-namhyung@kernel.org Reported-by: Michael Ellerman Reported-by: Dave Jones Reported-by: Luis Henriques Suggested-by: Pádraig Brady Acked-by: Steven Rostedt Acked-by: Masami Hiramatsu Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim Signed-off-by: Shuah Khan

ftracetest: Convert exit -1 to exit $FAIL

2015-03-31T16:15:46+00:00

POSIX says that exit takes an unsigned integer between 0 and 255, so using -1 doesn't work on POSIX shells. There is already a well-defined failure code, $FAIL (1), so use that. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman Acked-by: Steven Rostedt Signed-off-by: Shuah Khan

ftracetest: Cope properly with stack tracer not being enabled

2015-03-31T16:15:36+00:00

If the stack tracer (CONFIG_STACK_TRACER) is disabled, the fgraph-filter-stack test blows chunks: [8] ftrace - function graph filters with stack tracer [FAIL] + reset_tracer + echo nop ./ftracetest: 19: /home/michael/selftests/ftrace/test.d/ftrace/fgraph-filter-stack.tc: cannot create /proc/sys/kernel/stack_tracer_enabled: Directory nonexistent Fix it by checking if the proc file exists before echoing to it. With the patch applied it fails correctly with: [8] ftrace - function graph filters with stack tracer [UNSUPPORTED] Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman Acked-by: Steven Rostedt Signed-off-by: Shuah Khan
