Commit a745f7af3cbd ("selftests/harness: Add 30 second timeout per
test") solves the problem of kselftest_harness.h-using binary tests
possibly hanging forever. However, scripts and other binaries can still
hang forever. This adds a global timeout to each test script run.
Timeout is good, but really tests should not hang. So we have to somehow
indicate that the test needs to be fixed.
This timeout is a band-aid and not real solution for the problem. This
arbitrary value doesn't take into account that the test(s) in that
particular directory (TARGET) could be running normally and working
through all the tests.
We need some way to differentiate the two cases.
To make this configurable (e.g. as needed in the "rtc" test case),
include a new per-test-directory "settings" file (similar to "config")
that can contain kselftest-specific settings. The first recognized field
is "timeout".
Seems good to me. I was also wondering whether this is actually
reasonable to have tests running for so long. I wanted to discuss that
at LPC but I missed the session.
There is the individual test times and overall kselftest run time. We
have lots of tests now and it does take long.
Additionally, this splits the reporting for timeouts into a specific
"TIMEOUT" not-ok (and adds exit code reporting in the remaining case).
