Subject: [PATCH v3 0/2] tracing/boot: Support eprobe, fprobe, and tprobe events and add test framework
Date: Sat, 8 Aug 2026 06:44:01 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <178613904128.259829.16130019979800943264.stgit@devnote2> (raw)
Hi,
This is the 3rd version of series to extend kernel boot-time tracing to
support newly added dynamic event types (eprobes, fprobes, and tracepoint
probes) and introduces an automated QEMU-based test suite under
tools/testing/selftests/ftrace/boottime/.
The previous version is here:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/178602969872.141946.3932041319962687996.stgit@devnote2/
Changes in v3:
- tracing/boot: Check return values of strscpy() and snprintf() in
trace_boot_add_probe_event() to prevent silent buffer truncation.
- selftests/ftrace: Remove boottime/run_boottime_test.sh from
TEST_PROGS_EXTENDED in Makefile to prevent lib.mk from flattening it
into top-level ftrace/ on make install.
- selftests/ftrace: Support executing run_boottime_test.sh both in-tree
and in installed kselftest environment.
- selftests/ftrace: Add HUP, INT, and TERM signal handlers to tempdir
cleanup trap.
- selftests/ftrace: Validate workdir creation and update
run_single_test() to return 0 on test failure so set -e is not
suspended by invocation in an AND-OR list.
Changes in v2:
- Fix raw command detection logic for eprobes, fprobes, and tprobes
by requiring ':' or isspace() after type prefix.
- Consolidate duplicate loop logic into trace_boot_add_probe_event()
helper function.
- Copy shared library dependencies using ldd if busybox is dynamically
linked.
- Wrap QEMU execution with timeout command and add -T/--timeout CLI
option.
- Add pre-flight checks for busybox architecture compatibility and
cpio tool in run_boottime_test.sh.
- Fix POSIX syntax compatibility and allow bypassing HOST_ARCH skip
when custom kernel/QEMU parameters are passed.
- Add boottime/run_boottime_test.sh to TEST_PROGS_EXTENDED in
selftests/ftrace/Makefile.
Thanks,
