Hi, Last week at LinuxCon Japan (or whatever the conference has renamed itself to...) Tim Bird mentioned that it would be great to have the output of kselftests be in a "standard" format, so that people don't have to write a bunch of custom parsers when they implement kselftest in their test environment. He pointed out that the TAP format is especially good, it's been around for forever, is light and easy to use, and everyone already has parsers for it. The details on the latest version of the spec can be found here: https://testanything.org/tap-version-13-specification.html I mentioned that Paul and Alice (on cc: here) were looking for ways to contribute to the kernel, and so here's a first series of patches, ostensibly authored by Paul, but contributed heavily by me and Alice at the same time (multiple authorship is hard for kernel patches...) These patches add an initial framework to the kselftest header file to provide a way for tests to output in TAP13 format, and then goes on to convert 3 different tests to use the format, showing that it does work well. Note, the names for the api calls are a bit unwieldy, if anyone has suggestions for what could be used instead, please do so. Thoughts? thanks, greg k-h Paul Elder (4): kselftest: add TAP13 conformant versions of ksft_* functions kselftest: membarrier: convert to TAP13 output kselftest: breakpoints: convert breakpoint_test to TAP13 output kselftest: breakpoints: convert step_after_suspend_test to TAP13 output .../selftests/breakpoints/breakpoint_test.c | 31 ++++----- .../breakpoints/step_after_suspend_test.c | 47 ++++++------- tools/testing/selftests/kselftest.h | 77 ++++++++++++++++++++++ .../testing/selftests/membarrier/membarrier_test.c | 45 +++++++------ 4 files changed, 136 insertions(+), 64 deletions(-) -- 2.13.1 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kselftest" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
