2017-01-05	selftests: enable O and KBUILD_OUTPUT	bamvor.zhangjian@huawei.com	1	-6/+6
	Enable O and KBUILD_OUTPUT for kselftest. User could compile kselftest to another directory by passing O or KBUILD_OUTPUT. And O is high priority than KBUILD_OUTPUT. Signed-off-by: Bamvor Jian Zhang <bamvor.zhangjian@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Shuah Khan <shuahkh@osg.samsung.com>
2017-01-05	selftests: remove duplicated all and clean target	bamvor.zhangjian@huawei.com	1	-9/+4
	Currently, kselftest use TEST_PROGS, TEST_PROGS_EXTENDED, TEST_FILES to indicate the test program, extended test program and test files. It is easy to understand the purpose of these files. But mix of compiled and uncompiled files lead to duplicated "all" and "clean" targets. In order to remove the duplicated targets, introduce TEST_GEN_PROGS, TEST_GEN_PROGS_EXTENDED, TEST_GEN_FILES to indicate the compiled objects. Also, the later patch will make use of TEST_GEN_XXX to redirect these files to output directory indicated by KBUILD_OUTPUT or O. And add this changes to "Contributing new tests(details)" of Documentation/kselftest.txt.

2016-10-04	selftests/powerpc: Check for VSX preservation across userspace preemption	Cyril Bur	1	-1/+4
	Ensure the kernel correctly switches VSX registers correctly. VSX registers are all volatile, and despite the kernel preserving VSX across syscalls, it doesn't have to. Test that during interrupts and timeslices ending the VSX regs remain the same. Signed-off-by: Cyril Bur <cyrilbur@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
2016-03-02	selftests/powerpc: Test FPU and VMX regs in signal ucontext	Cyril Bur	1	-1/+3
	Load up the non volatile FPU and VMX regs and ensure that they are the expected value in a signal handler Signed-off-by: Cyril Bur <cyrilbur@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
2016-03-02	selftests/powerpc: Test preservation of FPU and VMX regs across preemption	Cyril Bur	1	-1/+4
	Loop in assembly checking the registers with many threads. Signed-off-by: Cyril Bur <cyrilbur@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
2016-03-02	selftests/powerpc: Test the preservation of FPU and VMX regs across syscall	Cyril Bur	1	-0/+14
	Test that the non volatile floating point and Altivec registers get correctly preserved across the fork() syscall. fork() works nicely for this purpose, the registers should be the same for both parent and child Signed-off-by: Cyril Bur <cyrilbur@gmail.com> [mpe: Add include guards to basic_asm.h, minor formatting] Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
