Subject: selftests/run_kselftest.sh: Allow choosing per-test log directory
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d6ea9f404b905ba7351d6b0e9ed611d9d0bf20f7;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git

selftests/run_kselftest.sh: Allow choosing per-test log directory

The --per-test-log option currently hard-codes /tmp. However, the system
under test will most likely have tmpfs mounted there. Since it's not clear
which filenames the log files will have, the user should be able to specify
a persistent directory to store the logs. Keeping those logs are important
because the run_kselftest.sh runner will only yield KTAP output, trimming
information that is otherwise available through running individual tests
directly.

Allow --per-test-log to take an optional directory argument. Keep the
existing behaviour when the option is passed without an argument, but if
a directory is provided, create it if needed, reject non-directory paths
and non-writable directories, canonicalize it, and have runner.sh write
per-test logs there instead of /tmp.

This also makes relative paths safe by resolving them before the runner
changes into a collection directory.
