Hi,
This is 2nd version of series to extend kernel boot-time tracing to
support newly added dynamic event types (eprobes, fprobes, and tracepoint
probes) and introduces an automated QEMU-based test suite under
tools/tracing/boottime/.
Previous version is here:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/178597841107.123558.13065821394773752510.stgit@devnote2/
This version fixes some issues reported by Sashiko [1], simplifying
code, and improve test program.
[1/2]
- Fix raw command detection logic for eprobes, fprobes, and tprobes
by requiring ':' or isspace() after type prefix.
- Consolidate duplicate loop logic into trace_boot_add_probe_event()
helper function.
[2/2]
- Copy shared library dependencies using ldd if busybox is dynamically
linked.
- Wrap QEMU execution with timeout command and add -T/--timeout CLI
option.
- Add pre-flight checks for busybox architecture compatibility and
cpio tool in run_boottime_test.sh.
- Fix POSIX syntax compatibility and allow bypassing HOST_ARCH skip
when custom kernel/QEMU parameters are passed.
- Add boottime/run_boottime_test.sh to TEST_PROGS_EXTENDED in
selftests/ftrace/Makefile.
