2015-03-13selftests: Add install targetMichael Ellerman
This adds make install support to selftests. The basic usage is: $ cd tools/testing/selftests $ make install That installs into tools/testing/selftests/install, which can then be copied where ever necessary. The install destination is also configurable using eg: $ INSTALL_PATH=/mnt/selftests make install The implementation uses two targets in the child makefiles. The first "install" is expected to install all files into $(INSTALL_PATH). The second, "emit_tests", is expected to emit the test instructions (ie. bash script) on stdout. Separating this from install means the child makefiles need no knowledge of the location of the test script.

2015-03-13selftests: Introduce minimal shared logic for running testsMichael Ellerman
This adds a Make include file which most selftests can then include to get the run_tests logic. On its own this has the advantage of some reduction in repetition, and also means the pass/fail message is defined in fewer places. However the key advantage is it will allow us to implement install very simply in a subsequent patch. The default implementation just executes each program in $(TEST_PROGS). We use a variable to hold the default implementation of $(RUN_TESTS) because that gives us a clean way to override it if necessary, ie. using override. The mount, memory-hotplug and mqueue tests use that to provide a different implementation. Tests are not run via /bin/bash, so if they are scripts they must be executable, we add a+x to several.

2014-06-06tools/testing/selftests/sysctl: validate sysctl_writes_strictKees Cook
This adds several behavioral tests to sysctl string and number writing to detect unexpected cases that behaved differently when the sysctl kernel.sysctl_writes_strict != 1.
