Hi! Several weeks ago I read about https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelTestingInitiative https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelRegressionTestGuidelines and recognized the vision is very similar to what we exercise for several years in the AMD Operating System Research Center when writing functional tests for Linux, Xen, and KVM. After some polishing I just submitted an RFC: A common test container https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/23/101 https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/23/105 https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/23/102 to LKML. I explicitely had the Fedora Kernel Testing Initiative in mind, I even integrated a last missing part from the fedora testing vision into the proposed lib: the ability to skip tests based on their "criticality level". But from several years of experience with Linux testing I think the best place is to put a common stub *in* the kernel, and be able to proceed from there. If you are interested feel free to join the discussion on LKML, or if you prefer tell me to forward it here.
