+Q: How to run BPF selftests
|
|
|
+---------------------------
|
|
|
+A: After you have booted into the newly compiled kernel, navigate to
|
|
|
+the BPF selftests_ suite in order to test BPF functionality (current
|
|
|
+working directory points to the root of the cloned git tree)::
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ $ cd tools/testing/selftests/bpf/
|
|
|
+ $ make
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+To run the verifier tests::
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ $ sudo ./test_verifier
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The verifier tests print out all the current checks being
|
|
|
+performed. The summary at the end of running all tests will dump
|
|
|
+information of test successes and failures::
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Summary: 418 PASSED, 0 FAILED
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+In order to run through all BPF selftests, the following command is
|
|
|
+needed::
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ $ sudo make run_tests
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+See the kernels selftest `Documentation/dev-tools/kselftest.rst`_
|
|
|
+document for further documentation.
