[RFC PATCH v2 03/10] selftests/verification: fix verificationtest-ktap for out-of-tree execution
From: wen . yang
Date: Mon May 11 2026 - 14:30:22 EST
From: Wen Yang <wen.yang@xxxxxxxxx>
verificationtest-ktap used a CWD-relative path (../ftrace/ftracetest)
and a relative argument (../verification) for --rv. This works when
the shell changes into the verification directory first, but breaks
when the script is invoked directly - e.g. by the kselftest runner or
vng - because the working directory is the kernel source root, not the
script's own directory.
Fix this by computing the script's directory from $0 with cd/dirname/pwd
and using absolute paths for both the ftracetest invocation and the --rv
argument. Also export the directory to PATH so that check_requires in
the ftracetest framework can locate helper binaries.
