Paul E. McKenney 8be7f505f9 rcutorture: Note diffs from git commits 
The current scripting only keeps track of the git SHA-1 of the current
HEAD.  This can cause confusion in cases where testing ran in a git
tree where changes had not yet been checked in.  This commit therefore
also records the output of "git diff HEAD" to provide the information
needed to reconstruct the source tree that was tested.

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.
