Merge tag 'linux-kselftest-next-5.10-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/shuah/linux-kselftest
Pull kselftest updates from Shuah Khan: - speed up headers_install done during selftest build - add generic make nesting support - add support to select individual tests: Selftests build/install generates run_kselftest.sh script to run selftests on a target system. Currently the script doesn't have support for selecting individual tests. Add support for it. With this enhancement, user can select test collections (or tests) individually. e.g: run_kselftest.sh -c seccomp -t timers:posix_timers -t timers:nanosleep Additionally adds a way to list all known tests with "-l", usage with "-h", and perform a dry run without running tests with "-n". * tag 'linux-kselftest-next-5.10-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/shuah/linux-kselftest: doc: dev-tools: kselftest.rst: Update examples and paths selftests/run_kselftest.sh: Make each test individually selectable selftests: Extract run_kselftest.sh and generate stand-alone test list selftests: Add missing gitignore entries selftests: more general make nesting support selftests: use "$(MAKE)" instead of "make" for headers_install

Install selftests
|
||||
=================
|
||||
|
||||
You can use the kselftest_install.sh tool to install selftests in the
|
||||
default location, which is tools/testing/selftests/kselftest, or in a
|
||||
user specified location.
|
||||
You can use the "install" target of "make" (which calls the `kselftest_install.sh`
|
||||
tool) to install selftests in the default location (`tools/testing/selftests/kselftest_install`),
|
||||
or in a user specified location via the `INSTALL_PATH` "make" variable.
|
||||
|
||||
To install selftests in default location::
|
||||
|
||||
$ cd tools/testing/selftests
|
||||
$ ./kselftest_install.sh
|
||||
$ make -C tools/testing/selftests install
|
||||
|
||||
To install selftests in a user specified location::
|
||||
|
||||
$ cd tools/testing/selftests
|
||||
$ ./kselftest_install.sh install_dir
|
||||
$ make -C tools/testing/selftests install INSTALL_PATH=/some/other/path
|

|

Running installed selftests
|
||||
===========================
|
||||
|
||||
Kselftest install as well as the Kselftest tarball provide a script
|
||||
named "run_kselftest.sh" to run the tests.
|
||||
Found in the install directory, as well as in the Kselftest tarball,
|
||||
is a script named `run_kselftest.sh` to run the tests.
|
||||
|
||||
You can simply do the following to run the installed Kselftests. Please
|
||||
note some tests will require root privileges::
|
||||
|
||||
$ cd kselftest
|
||||
$ cd kselftest_install
|
||||
$ ./run_kselftest.sh
|
||||
|
||||
To see the list of available tests, the `-l` option can be used::
|
||||
|
||||
$ ./run_kselftest.sh -l
|
||||
|
||||
The `-c` option can be used to run all the tests from a test collection, or
|
||||
the `-t` option for specific single tests. Either can be used multiple times::
|
||||
|
||||
$ ./run_kselftest.sh -c bpf -c seccomp -t timers:posix_timers -t timer:nanosleep
|
||||
|
||||
For other features see the script usage output, seen with the `-h` option.
