2020-02-20	selftests: Install settings files to fix TIMEOUT failures	Michael Ellerman	1	-0/+2
	Commit 852c8cbf34d3 ("selftests/kselftest/runner.sh: Add 45 second timeout per test") added a 45 second timeout for tests, and also added a way for tests to customise the timeout via a settings file. For example the ftrace tests take multiple minutes to run, so they were given longer in commit b43e78f65b1d ("tracing/selftests: Turn off timeout setting"). This works when the tests are run from the source tree. However if the tests are installed with "make -C tools/testing/selftests install", the settings files are not copied into the install directory. When the tests are then run from the install directory the longer timeouts are not applied and the tests timeout incorrectly. So add the settings files to TEST_FILES of the appropriate Makefiles to cause the settings files to be installed using the existing install logic.

2020-02-13	selftests: use LDLIBS for libraries instead of LDFLAGS	Dmitry Safonov	1	-1/+1
	While building selftests, the following errors were observed: > tools/testing/selftests/timens' > gcc -Wall -Werror -pthread -lrt -ldl timens.c -o tools/testing/selftests/timens/timens > /usr/bin/ld: /tmp/ccGy5CST.o: in function `check_config_posix_timers': > timens.c:(.text+0x65a): undefined reference to `timer_create' > collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status Quoting commit 870f193d48c2 ("selftests: net: use LDLIBS instead of LDFLAGS"): The default Makefile rule looks like: $(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(LDFLAGS) $@ $^ $(LDLIBS) When linking is done by gcc itself, no issue, but when it needs to be passed to proper ld, only LDLIBS follows and then ld cannot know what libs to link with. More detail: https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Implicit-Variables.html LDFLAGS Extra flags to give to compilers when they are supposed to invoke the linker, ‘ld’, such as -L. Libraries (-lfoo) should be added to the LDLIBS variable instead. LDLIBS Library flags or names given to compilers when they are supposed to invoke the linker, ‘ld’. LOADLIBES is a deprecated (but still supported) alternative to LDLIBS. Non-library linker flags, such as -L, should go in the LDFLAGS variable. While at here, correct other selftests, not only timens ones.

2018-05-30	selftests: move RTC tests to rtc subfolder	Alexandre Belloni	1	-0/+9
	Move the RTC tests out of the timers folder as they are mostly unrelated. Keep rtcpie in timers as it only test hrtimers. Signed-off-by: Alexandre Belloni <alexandre.belloni@bootlin.com> Signed-off-by: Shuah Khan (Samsung OSG) <shuah@kernel.org>
