Linux kernel source tree
2223228bb1
- Add new -D option that allows to override variables and options
For example:
./ktest.pl -DPATCH_START:=HEAD~1 -DOUTPUT_DIR=/work/build/urgent config
The above sets the variable "PATCH_START" to HEAD~1 and the OUTPUT_DIR
option to "/work/build/urgent".
This is useful because currently the only way to make a slight change to a
config file is by modifying that config file. For one time changes, this
can be annoying. Having a way to do a one time override from the command
line simplifies the workflow.
Temp variables (PATCH_START) will override every temp variable in the
config file, whereas options will act like a normal OVERRIDE option and
will only affect the session they define.
-DBUILD_OUTPUT=/work/git/linux.git
Replaces the default BUILD_OUTPUT option.
'-DBUILD_OUTPUT[2]=/work/git/linux.git'
Only replaces the BUILD_OUTPUT variable for test #2.
- If an option contains itself, just drop it instead of going into an
infinite loop and failing to parse (it doesn't crash, it detects the
recursion after 100 iterations anyway).
Some configs may define a variable with the same name as the option:
ADD_CONFIG := $(ADD_CONFIG)
But if the option doesn't exist, it the above will fail to parse. In these
cases, just ignore evaluating the option inside the definition of another
option if it has the same name.
- Display the BUILD_DIR and OUTPUT_DIR options at the start of every test
It is useful to know which kernel source and what destination a test is
using when it starts, in case a mistake is made. This makes it easier to
abort the test if the wrong source or destination is being used instead of
waiting until the test completes.
- Add new PATCHCHECK_SKIP option
When testing a series of commits that also includes changes to the Linux
tools directory, it is useless to test the changes in tools as they may
not affect the kernel itself. Doing tests on the kernel for changes that
do not affect the kernel is a waste of time.
Add a PATCHCHECK_SKIP that takes a series of shas that will be skipped
while doing the individual commit tests.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
