From e1448fac677eb3100b5cbdac546457c9c0e3c0e8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Ellerman Date: Fri, 23 Mar 2018 20:44:27 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] selftests: Print the test we're running to /dev/kmsg [ Upstream commit 88893cf787d3062c631cc20b875068eb11756e03 ] Some tests cause the kernel to print things to the kernel log buffer (ie. printk), in particular oops and warnings etc. However when running all the tests in succession it's not always obvious which test(s) caused the kernel to print something. We can narrow it down by printing which test directory we're running in to /dev/kmsg, if it's writable.
