I see. I'd like to have an option to run the test shortly or full (which takes very long time). For example, probing all kernel functions with kprobes may take very long time, but I'd like to add it to kernel tree for stability check. Or should we separate such time-consuming test from selftest? > Maybe it's OK to > just add a tools/testing/tracing directory to place my tests (after > they get cleaned up to be "public").
