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-openidc-client packages are installed. For submission of test results make sure you have the package python3-openidc-client installed.

$ sudo dnf install gcc git python3-openidc-client

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 the line with "submit=" and set it to "submit=authenticated". Note this will mean that after the test runs, you will be directed to a web page to log in to the Fedora account system to let your result be submitted. Optionally, if you use the proprietary Nvidia driver, look for the line "thirdparty=y" and uncomment it.
   

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.
