Bug description:
[Impact]
When compiling and building the Ubuntu kernels, the kernel selftests located
under 'tools/testing/selftests/' do not get compiled. Some of these testcases
are used by our test infrastructure, which downloads the kernel source,
compiles and run them. The problem with this approach is that patches applied
to the testcases can break the compilation and this is detected only after the
kernels are already released to -proposed.
I am proposing that we add some simple debian/rules targets that will
keep a list of the selftests that Ubuntu cares about, compile and run
them. This could be plugged into our test build infrastructure in
order to be able to detect such breaks.
[Test Case]
With these changes, one would be able to run the following to compile/run the
selftests:
# fakeroot debian/rules clean
# fakeroot debian/rules compileselftests
# fakeroot debian/rules runselftests
[Regression Potential]
None. This only adds new rules targets that will not break any existing
targets.
