selftests: complete kselftest include centralization

2025-11-27T22:24:31Z

This follow-up patch completes centralization of kselftest.h and ksefltest_harness.h includes in remaining seltests files, replacing all relative paths with a non-relative paths using shared -I include path in lib.mk Tested with gcc-13.3 and clang-18.1, and cross-compiled successfully on riscv, arm64, x86_64 and powerpc arch.

selftests/user_events: Fix failures caused by test code

2025-02-24T23:37:17Z

In parse_abi function,the dyn_test fails because the enable_file isn’t closed after successfully registering an event. By adding wait_for_delete(), the dyn_test now passes as expected.

selftests/user_events: Test persist flag cases

2023-10-04T02:29:43Z

Now that we have exposed USER_EVENT_REG_PERSIST events can persist both via the ABI and in the /sys/kernel/tracing/dynamic_events file. Ensure both the ABI and DYN cases work by calling both during the parse tests. Add new flags test that ensures only USER_EVENT_REG_PERSIST is honored and any other flag is invalid.

selftests/user_events: Fix to unmount tracefs when test created mount

2023-09-18T17:04:52Z

Fix to unmount tracefs if the self-test mounted it to allow testing. If tracefs was already mounted, this does nothing.

selftests/user_events: Fix failures when user_events is not installed

2023-09-11T23:04:11Z

When user_events is not installed the self tests currently fail. Now that these self tests run by default we need to ensure they don't fail when user_events was not enabled for the kernel being tested. Add common methods to detect if tracefs and user_events is enabled. If either is not enabled skip the test. If tracefs is enabled, but is not mounted, mount tracefs and fail if there were any errors. Fail if not run as root.

selftests/user_events: Test struct size match cases

2023-07-12T16:04:47Z

The self tests for user_events currently does not ensure that the edge case for struct types work properly with size differences. Add cases for mis-matching struct names and sizes to ensure they work properly.

selftests/user_events: Adapt dyn_test to non-persist events

2023-06-14T17:43:27Z

Now that user_events does not honor persist events the dynamic_events file cannot be easily used to test parsing and matching cases. Update dyn_test to use the direct ABI file instead of dynamic_events so that we still have testing coverage until persist events and dynamic_events file integration has been decided.

selftests: use canonical ftrace path

2023-03-29T10:52:07Z

The canonical location for the tracefs filesystem is at /sys/kernel/tracing. But, from Documentation/trace/ftrace.rst: Before 4.1, all ftrace tracing control files were within the debugfs file system, which is typically located at /sys/kernel/debug/tracing. For backward compatibility, when mounting the debugfs file system, the tracefs file system will be automatically mounted at: /sys/kernel/debug/tracing A few spots in tools/testing/selftests still refer to this older debugfs path, so let's update them to avoid confusion.
