mm: move hugepage test examples to tools/testing/selftests/vm

2012-03-29T00:14:37Z

hugepage-mmap.c, hugepage-shm.c and map_hugetlb.c in Documentation/vm are simple pass/fail tests, It's better to promote them to tools/testing/selftests. Thanks suggestion of Andrew Morton about this. They all need firstly setting up proper nr_hugepages and hugepage-mmap need to mount hugetlbfs. So I add a shell script run_vmtests to do such work which will call the three test programs and check the return value of them. Changes to original code including below: a. add run_vmtests script b. return error when read_bytes mismatch with writed bytes. c. coding style fixes: do not use assignment in if condition [akpm@linux-foundation.org: build the targets before trying to execute them] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: Documentation/vm/ no longer has a Makefile. Fixes "make clean"] Signed-off-by: Dave Young Cc: Wu Fengguang Cc: Christoph Lameter Cc: Pekka Enberg Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

selftests/Makefile: make `run_tests' depend on `all'

2012-03-29T00:14:37Z

So a "make run_tests" will build the tests before trying to run them. Acked-by: Frederic Weisbecker Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

selftests: launch individual selftests from the main Makefile

2012-03-29T00:14:37Z

Remove the run_tests script and launch the selftests by calling "make run_tests" from the selftests top directory instead. This delegates to the Makefile in each selftest directory, where it is decided how to launch the local test. This removes the need to add each selftest directory to the now removed "run_tests" top script.

ktest: Allow a test to override REBOOT_ON_SUCCESS

2012-03-21T15:18:27Z

The option REBOOT_ON_SUCCESS is global, and will have the machine reboot the the box if all tests are successful. But a test may not want the machine to reboot, and perhaps have the kernel it loaded be used to install the next kernel. Or the last test may set up a kernel that the user may want to look at. In this case, the user could have the global option REBOOT_ON_SUCCESS be true, but if a test is defined to run at the end, that test can override the global option and keep the kernel it installed for the user to log in with.

ktest: Fix SWITCH_TO_GOOD to also reboot the machine

2012-03-21T12:24:57Z

When the option SWITCH_TO_GOOD is set, it will be called when the system needs to reboot to the good server. But currently, this keeps the reboot from happening. The SWITCH_TO_GOOD is just a way to get to a new kernel, it may not mean to not reboot. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

ktest: Add SCP_TO_TARGET_INSTALL option

2012-03-21T12:21:24Z

Currently the option used to scp both the modules to the target as well as the kernel image are the same (SCP_TO_TARGET). But some embedded boards may require them to be different. The modules may need to be put directly on the board, but the kernel image may need to go to a tftpserver. Add the option SCP_TO_TARGET_INSTALL that will allow the user to change the config so that they may have the modules and image got to different machines. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

ktest: Add warning when bugs are ignored

2012-03-21T12:18:35Z

When IGNORE_ERRORS is set, ktest will not fail a test if a backtrace is detected. But this can be an issue if the user added it in the config but forgot to remove it. They may be left wondering why their test did not fail, or even worse, why their bisect gave the wrong commit. Add a warning in the output if IGNORE_WARNINGS is set, and ktest detects a kernel error.

ktest: Add INSTALL_MOD_STRIP=1 when installing modules

2012-03-21T12:16:15Z

To keep the modules from bloating the target's filesystem strip them during the install. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt
