Subject: ktest: Add PRE_KTEST_DIE for PRE_KTEST failures
X-Git-Tag: v7.1-rc1~141^2~3
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=972816d21bb1c4eb2e5095aee34eb4b109f4c2e3;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git

ktest: Add PRE_KTEST_DIE for PRE_KTEST failures

PRE_KTEST runs before the first test, but its return status is currently
ignored. A failing setup hook can leave the rest of the run executing in a
partially initialized environment.

Add PRE_KTEST_DIE so PRE_KTEST can fail the run in the same way
PRE_BUILD_DIE and PRE_TEST_DIE already can. Keep the default behavior
unchanged when the new option is not set.
