menuconfig KERNEL_TESTS
bool "Kernel subsystem tests"
help
You can build kernel subsystem specific tests.
if KERNEL_TESTS
config DEBUG_LOCKING_API_SELFTESTS
bool "Locking API boot-time self-tests"
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
help
Say Y here if you want the kernel to run a short self-test during
bootup. The self-test checks whether common types of locking bugs
are detected by debugging mechanisms or not. (if you disable
lock debugging then those bugs wont be detected of course.)
The following locking APIs are covered: spinlocks, rwlocks,
mutexes and rwsems.
config RCU_TORTURE_TEST
tristate "torture tests for RCU"
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
depends on m
default n
help
This option provides a kernel module that runs torture tests
on the RCU infrastructure. The kernel module may be built
after the fact on the running kernel to be tested, if desired.
Say M if you want the RCU torture tests to build as a module.
Say N if you are unsure.
config RT_MUTEX_TESTER
bool "Built-in scriptable tester for rt-mutexes"
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && RT_MUTEXES
help
This option enables a rt-mutex tester.
config LKDTM
tristate "Linux Kernel Dump Test Tool Module"
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
depends on KPROBES
default n
help
This module enables testing of the different dumping mechanisms by
inducing system failures at predefined crash points.
If you don't need it: say N
Choose M here to compile this code as a module. The module will be
called lkdtm.
Documentation on how to use the module can be found in
tests/lkdtm.c
config KPROBES_SANITY_TEST
bool "Kprobes sanity tests"
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
depends on KPROBES
default n
help
This option provides for testing basic kprobes functionality on
boot. A sample kprobe, jprobe and kretprobe are inserted and
verified for functionality.
Say N if you are unsure.
config BACKTRACE_SELF_TEST
tristate "Self test for the backtrace code"
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
default n
help
This option provides a kernel module that can be used to test
the kernel stack backtrace code. This option is not useful
for distributions or general kernels, but only for kernel
developers working on architecture code.
Say N if you are unsure.
