When I'm debugging something with the ftrace selftests and need to look at
the logs, it becomes tedious that I need to do the following:

ls -ltr logs
[ copy the last directory ]
ls logs/<paste-last-dir>

to see where the logs are.

Instead, do the common practice of having a "latest" softlink to the last
run selftest. This way after running the selftest I only need to do:

ls logs/latest/

and it will always give me the directory of the last run selftest logs!

Nice! I like this and this looks good to me.

Thank you!


Should this go via Shuah's tree?


Looks like it is a self contained patch. I will take it.

thanks,
