• 85bbddc37   selftests: new x86 breakpoints selftest ... Browse Code »

  Bring a first selftest in the relevant directory. This tests several
  combinations of breakpoints and watchpoints in x86, as well as icebp traps
  and int3 traps. Given the amount of breakpoint regressions we raised
  after we merged the generic breakpoint infrastructure, such selftest
  became necessary and can still serve today as a basis for new patches that
  touch the do_debug() path.

• 274343ad3   selftests: new very basic kernel selftests directory ... Browse Code »

  Bring a new kernel selftests directory in tools/testing/selftests. To
  add a new selftest, create a subdirectory with the sources and a
  makefile that creates a target named "run_test" then add the
  subdirectory name to the TARGET var in tools/testing/selftests/Makefile
  and tools/testing/selftests/run_tests script.

  This can help centralizing and maintaining any useful selftest that
  developers usually tend to let rust in peace on some random server.
