[PATCH v3 0/2 RESEND] update kselftest framework to check for required configs

Posted by Siddharth Menon 9 months, 3 weeks ago

Currently, kselftests does not have a generalised mechanism to skip
compilation and run tests when required kernel configuration options
are disabled.

This patch series adresses this issue by checking whether all required
configs from selftest/<test>/config are enabled in the current kernel

Skipping compile by default is not what we want to do. Tests are
supposed to compile and run even when config options are not enabled.

There is something wrong if the test doesn't compile when a config
option isn't enabled in the kernel.
