selftests: Introduce minimal shared logic for running tests

2015-03-13T21:13:40Z

This adds a Make include file which most selftests can then include to get the run_tests logic. On its own this has the advantage of some reduction in repetition, and also means the pass/fail message is defined in fewer places. However the key advantage is it will allow us to implement install very simply in a subsequent patch. The default implementation just executes each program in $(TEST_PROGS). We use a variable to hold the default implementation of $(RUN_TESTS) because that gives us a clean way to override it if necessary, ie. using override. The mount, memory-hotplug and mqueue tests use that to provide a different implementation. Tests are not run via /bin/bash, so if they are scripts they must be executable, we add a+x to several.

ftracetest: Initial commit for ftracetest

2014-09-23T13:31:05Z

ftracetest is a collection of testcase shell-scripts for ftrace. To avoid regressions of ftrace, these testcases check correct ftrace behaviors. If someone would like to add any features on ftrace, the patch series should have at least one testcase for checking the new behavior.
