Several test_progs tests already capture libbpf log in order to check
for some expected output, e.g bpf_tcp_ca.c, kfunc_dynptr_param.c,
log_buf.c and a few others.
This commit provides a, hopefully, simple API to capture libbpf log
w/o necessity to define new print callback in each test:
/* Creates a global memstream capturing INFO and WARN level output
* passed to libbpf_print_fn.
* Returns 0 on success, negative value on failure.
* On failure the description is printed using PRINT_FAIL and
* current test case is marked as fail.
*/
int start_libbpf_log_capture(void)
/* Destroys global memstream created by start_libbpf_log_capture().
* Returns a pointer to captured data which has to be freed.
* Returned buffer is null terminated.
*/
char *stop_libbpf_log_capture(void)
The intended usage is as follows:
if (start_libbpf_log_capture())
return;
use_libbpf();
char *log = stop_libbpf_log_capture();
ASSERT_HAS_SUBSTR(log, "... expected ...", "expected some message");
free(log);
As a safety measure, free(start_libbpf_log_capture()) is invoked in the
epilogue of the test_progs.c:run_one_test().

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.
