Most of the tests in kselftest rely on external tools and libraries

known when a test run fails.
Hello Juntong,
did you check if tools/testing/selftests/kselftest_deps.sh does what
you're after? It won't tell you what packages are missing because it's
distro-independent, but it tells you what libs your system is missing.
e.g.
(...)
Targets failed build dependency check on system: alsa bpf cachestat
capabilities clone3 filesystems fpu futex hid intel_pstate kvm landlock
membarrier memfd mm mqueue net netfilter powerpc ptp rseq rtc safesetid
sched seccomp timens timers user_events vDSO
-------------------------------------------------------- Missing
libraries system -lasound -lcap -lcap-ng -lcrypto -ldl -lelf -lfuse
-lgcc_s -lm -lmnl -lnuma -lpopt -lpthread -lrt -lz -pthread

Hi Ricardo, thanks for your reply.
I checked kselftest_deps.sh and it does find all missing
library dependencies.
But kselftest_deps.sh cannot find missing tool dependencies,
such as ndisc6.
I think we still need to find a way to solve this problem.
Best wishes.
