Hi,
This is the v2 series of the boottime tracing test framework to selftests/ftrace.
Previous version is here:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/178635442508.380779.3709136256425432083.stgit@devnote2/
In this version, I fixed some issues pointed by Sashiko[1]. See below changelog
for details.
[1] https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/178635442508.380779.3709136256425432083.stgit%40devnote2
Changes in v2:
[1/4]
- Add top-level boottime-ktap wrapper script and include it in
TEST_PROGS in Makefile.
- Define BUSYBOX_APPLETS as a global array variable including sleep
and sed.
- Require timeout tool in run_boottime_test.sh and README, and always
invoke QEMU under timeout command to prevent infinite execution loops.
- Add fallback sleep loop safeguard (sleep 100 || break) in guest
init script.
- Support multi-line .qemuopts files using read -r -d '' -a qemu_args.
[3/4]
- Fix buffer_size_kb parsing in cmdline-03-trace-buf-size.sh to handle
unexpanded buffer string output '1 (expanded: 2048)'.
- Use grep -qw in cmdline-04-trace-options.sh to match word options
and avoid matching disabled 'no<option>' entries.
[4/4]
- Increase reserve_mem alignment to 32M (reserve_mem=12M:32M:trace) to
ensure stable physical memory placement across KASLR reboots.
The new run_boottime_test.sh can run tests not only for boottime trace
but also other kernel cmdline tracing options, including persistent
ring buffer and its backup.
Overview
--------
The test runner (`run_boottime_test.sh`) constructs a lightweight initramfs
with busybox and a tracefs checker script from `tests/`, attaches optional
bootconfigs from `bootconfigs/` using the `bootconfig` tool, applies optional
command-line parameters from `cmdlines/`, boots the target kernel image under
QEMU, and reports results according to TAP version 13 format.
Here is an example of the test output.
-----
TAP version 13
1..14
ok 1 01-kprobe
ok 2 02-synth
ok 3 03-eprobe
ok 4 04-fprobe
ok 5 05-tprobe
ok 6 06-instance
ok 7 cmdline-01-ftrace
ok 8 cmdline-02-trace-event
ok 9 cmdline-03-trace-buf-size
ok 10 cmdline-04-trace-options
ok 11 cmdline-05-trace-clock
ok 12 cmdline-06-trace-instance
ok 13 persistent-01-reserve-mem
ok 14 persistent-02-backup-instance
# Totals: pass:14 fail:0 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:0 error:0
-----
Note that this requires QEMU, busybox and some other tools to run, see README
for more information. If those tools are not installed, this test will be
skipped.
Other discussion
----------------
BTW, I found other similar shell scripts under kselftest for other subsystems.
I think we can make an integrated (standard) QEMU test framework in the
kselftest common directory and reuse it.
Also, maybe we can reconsider using ktest.pl to run these tests.
Thanks,

Add a generic test framework under tools/testing/selftests/ftrace/boottime/
to verify kernel boot tracing configurations (bootconfig, kernel
command-line tracing options, and persistent ring buffers) during early
boot.
The test runner (run_boottime_test.sh) sources ktap_helpers.sh to generate
output in TAP version 13 format. It builds a minimal initramfs with busybox,
dynamically resolves test specifications (.bconf for bootconfig, .cmdline
for kernel boot parameters, .qemuopts for QEMU options, and # REBOOT: 1
for multi-boot crash/reboot tests with doubled timeout), boots QEMU, and
runs corresponding tracefs checker scripts.

+Boot Tracing Test Suite
+=======================
+
+This directory contains an automated test framework to verify kernel boot
+tracing configurations (bootconfig, kernel command-line tracing options, and
+persistent ring buffers) during early boot.
+
+Overview
+--------
+The test runner (`run_boottime_test.sh`) constructs a lightweight initramfs with
+busybox and a tracefs checker script from `tests/`, attaches optional bootconfigs
+from `bootconfigs/` using the `bootconfig` tool, applies optional command-line
+parameters from `cmdlines/`, boots the target kernel image under QEMU, and reports
+results according to TAP version 13 format.
+
+Test Specification Format
+-------------------------
+For each test script `tests/<name>.sh`, the harness dynamically detects:
+- `bootconfigs/<name>.bconf` or `<name>.bconf`: Bootconfig configuration file.
+- `cmdlines/<name>.cmdline` or `# CMDLINE: <opts>` header in script: Kernel boot parameters.
+- `qemuopts/<name>.qemuopts` or `# QEMUOPTS: <opts>` header in script: Additional QEMU CLI arguments.
+- `# REBOOT: 1` header in script: Multi-boot reboot/crash test mode (omits `-no-reboot` and doubles timeout).
+
+Required Tools
+--------------
+- Host Architecture: x86 (x86_64/i686/i386/x86; tests skip on non-x86 hosts)
+- `qemu-system-x86_64` (or custom QEMU executable)
+- `busybox` (host binary at `/usr/bin/busybox` or custom path)
+- `bootconfig` (compiled from `tools/bootconfig/bootconfig` or in PATH)
+- `cpio` (standard archiver)
+- `timeout` (standard coreutils execution timer)
+
+Required Kernel Configurations
+------------------------------
+The kernel binary under test must be compiled with:
+- `CONFIG_BOOT_CONFIG=y`
+- `CONFIG_BOOTTIME_TRACING=y`
+- `CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ=y` (for guest reboot and poweroff)
+
+Additional feature-specific config options enable respective testcases:
+- `CONFIG_KPROBE_EVENTS=y` (for kprobe tests)
+- `CONFIG_SYNTH_EVENTS=y` (for synthetic event tests)
+- `CONFIG_EPROBE_EVENTS=y` (for eprobe tests)
+- `CONFIG_FPROBE_EVENTS=y` (for fprobe and tracepoint probe tests)
+- `CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER=y` (for tracer options)
+- `CONFIG_RESERVE_MEM=y` (for persistent ring buffer tests)
+
+Usage
+-----
+To run all test cases with a compiled kernel image:
+
+ $ ./run_boottime_test.sh -k /path/to/bzImage
+
+To run a specific test case (e.g. `01-kprobe`):
+
+ $ ./run_boottime_test.sh -k /path/to/bzImage -t 01-kprobe
+
+Customizing Tool Paths:
+
+ $ ./run_boottime_test.sh -b /path/to/bootconfig \
+ -k /path/to/bzImage \
+ -q /path/to/qemu-system-x86_64 \
+ -B /path/to/busybox
+
+Environment Variables
+---------------------
+Tool locations and kernel paths can also be set via environment variables:
+- `BOOTCONFIG`: Path to the `bootconfig` tool
+- `KERNEL`: Path to the `bzImage` kernel binary
+- `QEMU`: Path to the QEMU binary
+- `BUSYBOX`: Path to the `busybox` binary
+- `LOGDIR`: Directory path to preserve QEMU execution log files

To: Steven Rostedt, Masami Hiramatsu, Shuah Khan
Cc: Mathieu Desnoyers, linux-kernel, linux-trace-kernel,
linux-kselftest
From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org>
Add test cases for boot-time tracing configuration via bootconfig
(see Documentation/trace/boottime-trace.rst).
These test cases verify:
- 01-kprobe: Dynamic kprobe events via bootconfig
- 02-synth: Synthetic events via bootconfig
- 03-eprobe: Event probes (eprobes) via bootconfig
- 04-fprobe: Function probes (fprobes) via bootconfig
- 05-tprobe: Tracepoint probes via bootconfig
- 06-instance: Custom trace instances via bootconfig

From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org>
Add test cases for kernel command-line tracing options. It verifies
various parameters like trace_buf_size and trace_options by reading
the output of tracing files in sysfs.

Changes in v2:
- Fix buffer_size_kb parsing in cmdline-03-trace-buf-size.sh to handle
unexpanded buffer string output '1 (expanded: 2048)'.
- Use grep -qw in cmdline-04-trace-options.sh to match word options
and avoid matching disabled 'no<option>' entries.

* [PATCH v2 4/4] selftests/ftrace: Add persistent ring buffer testcases

From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) @ 2026-08-11 15:34 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: Steven Rostedt, Masami Hiramatsu, Shuah Khan
Cc: Mathieu Desnoyers, linux-kernel, linux-trace-kernel,
linux-kselftest
From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org>
Add test cases for persistent ring buffer (reserve_mem= combined
with trace_instance=) and backup instance (trace_instance=backup=boot_map).
These test cases verify:
- persistent-01-reserve-mem: Memory reservation via reserve_mem=
and trace_instance=boot_map@trace. Verifies trace data retention in
the boot_map instance across guest crash/reboot via sysrq-trigger.
- persistent-02-backup-instance: Backup instance creation via
trace_instance=backup=boot_map. Verifies that previous boot trace
log is preserved in the backup instance on the subsequent boot.
These test cases specify '# REBOOT: 1' to enable multi-boot guest
crash/reboot testing with doubled QEMU timeout.
Assisted-by: Antigravity:gemini-3.6-flash
Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org>
---
Changes in v2:
- Increase reserve_mem alignment to 32M (reserve_mem=12M:32M:trace) to
ensure stable physical memory placement across KASLR reboots.
