This should be a general test architecture, and yet allow specific
tests to be done. Introduce a plugin architecture.
An individual test has 4 stages, setup/execute/verify/teardown. Each
plugin gets a chance to run a function at each stage, plus one call
before all the tests are called ("pre" suite) and one after all the
tests are called ("post" suite). In addition, just before each
command is executed, the plugin gets a chance to modify the command
using the "adjust_command" hook. This makes the test suite quite
flexible.
Future patches will take some functionality out of the tdc.py script and
place it in plugins.
To use the plugins, place the implementation in the plugins directory
and run tdc.py. It will notice the plugins and use them.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
