kselftest framework runs as build time or run time tests ?

[Victor Rodriguez]

HI team

Quick question , does kselftest:

https://kselftest.wiki.kernel.org/

Run on build time or run time ? I wonder because we want to implement it as
part of our releases process ( which run on koji ) and honestly I don't
want to run the tests against the kernel of the server , but on the kernel
that we are building :)

I ran it from the top directory of the kernel and as far as I can see is
running on build time , just wanted to double check with you

Best regards

Victor Rodriguez

You run the scripts when you "build" them, but you are running the tests
on the kernel that is currently running on the system.  There are
patches outstanding to run the tests on a remote system, making
build/test cycles easier, but I don't they are all fully merged yet.

Hope this helps,

Thanks a lot Greg . .yea it helps a lot . I will bot a micro vm with
the kernel under test and run the test inside . I was looking for
build time test for Kernel. Arjan told me is not usual now I can
realize he is right :)

Thanks a lot
