Currently we ignore errors from our sub Makefiles. We inherited that from the top-level selftests Makefile which aims to build and run as many tests as possible and damn the torpedoes. For the powerpc tests we'd instead like any errors to fail the build, so we can automatically catch build failures. We can achieve the best of both worlds by using -k, which tells make to keep building when it hits an error, but still reports the error.

Linux Kernel Selftests The kernel contains a set of "self tests" under the tools/testing/selftests/ directory. These are intended to be small unit tests to exercise individual code paths in the kernel. Running the selftests ===================== To build the tests: $ make -C tools/testing/selftests To run the tests: $ make -C tools/testing/selftests run_tests - note that some tests will require root privileges. To run only tests targetted for a single subsystem: $ make -C tools/testing/selftests TARGETS=cpu-hotplug run_tests See the top-level tools/testing/selftests/Makefile for the list of all possible targets. Contributing new tests ====================== In general, the rules for for selftests are * Do as much as you can if you're not root; * Don't take too long; * Don't break the build on any architecture, and * Don't cause the top-level "make run_tests" to fail if your feature is unconfigured.
