kselftests: timers: Make set-timer-lat fail more gracefully for !CAP_WAKE_ALARM

2015-04-02T16:32:33Z

The set-timer-lat test fails when testing CLOCK_BOOTTIME_ALARM or CLOCK_REALTIME_ALARM when the user isn't running as root or with CAP_WAKE_ALARM. So this patch improves the error checking so we report the issue more clearly and continue rather then reporting a failure.

kselftests: timers: Reduce default runtime on inconsistency-check and set-timer-lat

2015-03-31T19:44:32Z

For the default run_timers target, the timers tests takes the majority of kselftests runtime. So this patch reduces the default runtime for inconsistentcy-check and set-timer-lat, which reduced the runtime almost in half.

selftests/timers: Add set-timer-lat test from timetest suite

2015-03-12T19:22:14Z

Add my set-timer-lat test from the timetest suite. This test checks the latency from set_timer and reports if any are unreasonable (>40ms). Cc: Shuah Khan Cc: Prarit Bhargava Cc: Thomas Gleixner Cc: Richard Cochran Signed-off-by: John Stultz Tested-by: Prarit Bhargava Signed-off-by: Shuah Khan
