QA:Testcase kernel regression

Description

This test case tests kernel using the kernel regression test suite. For details about the test suite, see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelTestingInitiative.

Setup

1. Ensure the gcc, git and python3-fedora packages are installed. For submission of test results make sure you have the package python3-fedora installed.

$ sudo dnf install gcc git python3-fedora

2. Clone the kernel-tests repository:

   $ git clone https://pagure.io/kernel-tests.git
   

3. You need make, libtirpc, libtirpc-devel and policycoreutils-python-utils in order to run the tests, if it is not already installed.

   $ sudo dnf install make libtirpc libtirpc-devel policycoreutils-python-utils
   

4. Allow testsuite to make their heap memory executable

   $ sudo semanage boolean -m --on selinuxuser_execheap
   

5. cd into the kernel-tests directory

   $ cd kernel-tests
   

6. Configure automatic submission of the test results and your FAS username:

   $ cp config.example .config
   $ nano .config
   

   Look for lines with "submit=" and "username=" and set these settings to "submit=authenticated" and "username=<your FAS login without quotes>".
   Optionally, if you use the proprietary Nvidia driver, look for the line "thirdparty=y" and uncomment it.
   Note: uploading the results is not working as intended. See bug report on pagure: https://pagure.io/kernel-tests/issue/50. Submitting anonymously should work.

How to test

1. Run the default test suite:

   $ sudo ./runtests.sh
   

2. Optionally, run the performance test suite:

   $ sudo ./runtests.sh -t performance
   

3. Turn SELinux boolean selinuxuser_execheap back to default state.

   $ sudo semanage boolean -m --off selinuxuser_execheap
   

Expected Results

1. Both runs of the test suite should result in PASS.
