Steven Rostedt (VMware) 171ec346fc bootconfig/tracing/ktest: Add ktest examples of testing bootconfig
bootconfig is a new feature that appends scripts onto the initrd, and the
kernel executes the scripts as an extended kernel command line.

Need to add tests to test that the happened. To test the bootconfig
properly, the initrd needs to be updated and the kernel rebooted. ktest is
the perfect solution to perform these tests.

Add a example bootconfig.conf in the tools/testing/ktest/examples/include
and example bootconfig scripts in tools/testing/ktest/examples/bootconfig
and also include verifier scripts that ktest will install on the target
and run to make sure that the bootconfig options in the scripts took place
after the target rebooted with the new initrd update.

This directory contains example configs to use ktest for various tasks.
The configs still need to be customized for your environment, but it
is broken up by task which makes it easier to understand how to set up
ktest.

The configs are based off of real working configs but have been modified
and commented to show more generic use cases that are more helpful for
developers.

crosstests.conf - this config shows an example of testing a git repo against
    lots of different architectures. It only does build tests, but makes
    it easy to compile test different archs. You can download the arch
    cross compilers from:
  https://kernel.org/pub/tools/crosstool/files/bin/x86_64/

test.conf - A generic example of a config. This is based on an actual config
     used to perform real testing.

kvm.conf - A example of a config that is used to test a virtual guest running
     on a host.

snowball.conf - An example config that was used to demo ktest.pl against
     a snowball ARM board.

include/  -  The include directory holds default configs that can be
    included into other configs. This is a real use example that shows how
    to reuse configs for various machines or set ups. The files here
    are included by other config files, where the other config files define
    options and variables that will make the included config work for the
    given environment.
