selftests: Fix build failures when invoked from kselftest target

2015-03-19T15:54:55Z

Several tests that rely on implicit build rules fail to build, when invoked from the main Makefile kselftest target. These failures are due to --no-builtin-rules and --no-builtin-variables options set in the inherited MAKEFLAGS. --no-builtin-rules eliminates the use of built-in implicit rules and --no-builtin-variables is for not defining built-in variables. These two options override the use of implicit rules resulting in build failures. In addition, inherited LDFLAGS result in build failures and there is no need to define LDFLAGS. Clear LDFLAGS and MAKEFLAG when make is invoked from the main Makefile kselftest target. Fixing this at selftests Makefile avoids changing the main Makefile and keeps this change self contained at selftests level. Signed-off-by: Shuah Khan Acked-by: Michael Ellerman

selftests/exec: Check if the syscall exists and bail if not

2015-03-11T16:15:19Z

On systems which don't implement sys_execveat(), this test produces a lot of output. Add a check at the beginning to see if the syscall is present, and if not just note one error and return. When we run on a system that doesn't implement the syscall we will get ENOSYS back from the kernel, so change the logic that handles __NR_execveat not being defined to also use ENOSYS rather than -ENOSYS.

torture: Flag console.log file to prevent holdovers from earlier runs

2015-01-11T03:08:05Z

A system misconfiguration that prevents qemu from running at all (for example, a missing dynamically linked library) will keep the console.log file from the previous run. This can fool the developer into thinking that this failed run actually completed correctly. This commit therefore overwrites the console.log file just before launching qemu. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney

torture: Add "-enable-kvm -soundhw pcspk" to qemu command line

2015-01-11T03:08:04Z

More recent qemu implementations really want "-enable-kvm", and the "-soundhw pcspk" makes the script a bit less dependent on odd audio libraries being installed. This commit therefore adds both to the default qemu command line. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney
