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,

---
