selftests: introduce gen_tar Makefile target

2020-05-19T22:11:46Z

The gen_kselftest_tar.sh always packages *all* selftests and doesn't pass along any variables to `make install` to influence what should be built. This can result in an early error on the command line ("Unknown tarball format TARGETS=XXX"), or unexpected test failures as the tarball contains tests people wanted to skip on purpose. Since the makefile already contains all the logic, we can add a target for packaging. Keep the default .gz target the script uses, and actually extend the supported formats by using tar's autodetection. To not break current workflows, keep the gen_kselftest_tar.sh script as it is, with an added suggestion to use the makefile target instead.

kselftest: add fixture variants

2020-04-28T20:30:44Z

Allow users to build parameterized variants of fixtures. If fixtures want variants, they call FIXTURE_VARIANT() to declare the structure to fill for each variant. Each fixture will be re-run for each of the variants defined by calling FIXTURE_VARIANT_ADD() with the differing parameters initializing the structure. Since tests are being re-run, additional initialization (steps, no_print) is also added. Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski Acked-by: Kees Cook Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

kselftest: add capability to skip chosen TARGETS

2019-10-01T19:19:04Z

Let the user specify an optional TARGETS skiplist through the new optional SKIP_TARGETS Makefile variable. It is easier to skip at will using a reduced and well defined list of possibly problematic targets with SKIP_TARGETS than to provide a partially stripped down list of good targets using the usual TARGETS variable.

kselftest: Add test module framework header

2019-04-08T22:44:20Z

kselftest runs as a userspace process. Sometimes we need to test things from kernel space. One way of doing this is by creating a test module. Currently doing so requires developers to write a bunch of boiler plate in the module if kselftest is to be used to run the tests. This means we currently have a load of duplicate code to achieve these ends. If we have a uniform method for implementing test modules then we can reduce code duplication, ensure uniformity in the test framework, ease code maintenance, and reduce the work required to create tests. This all helps to encourage developers to write and run tests. Add a C header file that can be included in test modules. This provides a single point for common test functions/macros. Implement a few macros that make up the start of the test framework. Add documentation for new kselftest header to kselftest documentation. Acked-by: Kees Cook Signed-off-by: Tobin C.
