Instead of using subtests in bpf_verif_scale selftest, turn each scale sub-test into its own test. Each subtest is compltely independent and just reuses a bit of common test running logic, so the conversion is trivial. For convenience, keep all of BPF verifier scale tests in one file. This conversion shaves off a significant amount of time when running test_progs in parallel mode. E.g., just running scale tests (-t verif_scale): BEFORE ====== Summary: 24/0 PASSED, 0 SKIPPED, 0 FAILED real 0m22.894s user 0m0.012s sys 0m22.797s AFTER ===== Summary: 24/0 PASSED, 0 SKIPPED, 0 FAILED real 0m12.044s user 0m0.024s sys 0m27.869s Ten second saving right there. test_progs -j is not yet ready to be turned on by default, unfortunately, and some tests fail almost every time, but this is a good improvement nevertheless. Ignoring few failures, here is sequential vs parallel run times when running all tests now: SEQUENTIAL ========== Summary: 206/953 PASSED, 4 SKIPPED, 0 FAILED real 1m5.625s user 0m4.211s sys 0m31.650s PARALLEL ======== Summary: 204/952 PASSED, 4 SKIPPED, 2 FAILED real 0m35.550s user 0m4.998s sys 0m39.890s Signed-off-by: Andrii Nakryiko <andrii@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20211022223228.99920-5-andrii@kernel.org
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 Restructured Text 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.
