From 769c48eb2530c5c1a393e2c82063f4f050571d24 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steven Rostedt Date: Fri, 7 Nov 2008 22:36:02 -0500 Subject: ftrace: force pass of preemptoff selftest Impact: preemptoff not tested in selftest Due to the BKL not being preemptable anymore, the selftest of the preemptoff code can not be tested. It requires that it is called with preemption enabled, but since the BKL is held, that is no longer the case. This patch simply skips those tests if it detects that the context is not preemptable. The following will now show up in the tests: Testing tracer preemptoff: can not test ... force PASSED Testing tracer preemptirqsoff: can not test ... force PASSED When the BKL is removed, or it becomes preemptable once again, then the tests will be performed.
