See: cpufreq/main.sh cpu-hotplug/cpu-on-off-test.sh efivarfs/efivarfs.sh gpio/gpio-mockup.sh memory-hotplug/mem-on-off-test.sh This doesn't take into account the conditions for EVALUATE_ONLY: When it's set non-zero, neither aperf nor cpupower run at all. While this is under review, you might want to base your change on Shuah's patch for skipping: https://lists.linaro.org/pipermail/linux-kselftest-mirror/2018-May/001074.html > if ! uname -m | sed -e s/i.86/x86/ -e s/x86_64/x86/ | grep -q x86; then > echo "$0 # Skipped: Test can only run on x86 architectures." > exit 0 I'd leave this check at the forefront, as this "hurdle" is insurmountable in other architectures, whereas becoming root is attainable.
