[PATCH 0/7] selftests/ftrace: Some improvements of ftracetest

[Masami Hiramatsu]

Hi,

This series improves ftracetest mainly to run on 4.9 stable
tree kernel. There still some issues remains (it seems some
fixes are not merged), but a half of issues are fixed.

NOTE: One patch will modify ftrace README to check the
availability of the maxactive option, which should have
been implemented with the function-added patch.

With this series, only 1 test actually failed on 4.9.29.
(and 3 unsupported, since it is too old to support it)

> [15] ftrace - test reading of set_ftrace_filter [FAIL]
was caused by the difference of the result of 
"dd bs=1 if=set_ftrace_filter" and "cat set_ftrace_filter",
which has been fixed on upstream by commit fcdc71257923
("ftrace: Fix indexing of t_hash_start() from t_next()")
but backporting it onto 4.9.y stable tree didn't fix that.


Thank you,
