The BPF selftest 'test_progs' contains many tests, that cover all the different areas of the kernel where BPF is used. The CI system sees this as one test, which is impractical for identifying what team/engineer is responsible for debugging the problem. This patchset add some options that makes it easier to create a shell for-loop that invoke each (top-level) test avail in test_progs. Then each test FAIL/PASS result can be presented the CI system to have a separate bullet. (For Red Hat use-case in Beaker https://beaker-project.org/) Created a public script[1] that uses these features in an advanced way. Demonstrating howto reduce the number of (top-level) tests by grouping tests together via using the existing test pattern selection feature, and then using the new --list feature combined with exclude (-b) to get a list of remaining test names that was not part of the groups.
