Subject: [PATCH 1/2] test: Skip tst.aggmod_full2.sh
Date: Wed, 18 Mar 2026 17:48:25 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260318214826.6296-1-eugene.loh@oracle.com> (raw)

From: Eugene Loh <eugene.loh@oracle.com>

The test was only being run on older x86 systems, where it had been
failing consistently for a long time.  Since kernels are moving from
kallmodsyms to modules.builtin.ranges, we do not care much about such
problems.

+# Let us skip this test altogether:
+#   * The test was never vetted on arm.
+#   * The test does not run on newer kernels since they have no kallmodsyms.
+#   * On older x86 platforms, the test has failed consistently for a long time.
+# The test had been intended for checking /proc/kallmodsyms,
+# but we are migrating to a modules.builtin.ranges approach.
+# When we are absolutely sure we do not care about this test, it can be removed.

 # The test still needs to be vetted on ARM64, including for copyinstr() support.
 # Once it runs on ARM64, the slower tst.aggmod_full.sh test can be removed.
