    ktest: Add test type make_min_config · 4c4ab120
    Steven Rostedt authored
    After doing a make localyesconfig, your kernel configuration may
    not be the most useful minimum configuration. Having a true minimum
    config that you can use against other configs is very useful if
    someone else has a config that breaks on your code. By only forcing
    those configurations that are truly required to boot your machine
    will give you less of a chance that one of your set configurations
    will make the bug go away. This will give you a better chance to
    be able to reproduce the reported bug matching the broken config.
    
    Note, this does take some time, and may require you to run the
    test over night, or perhaps over the weekend. But it also allows
    you to interrupt it, and gives you the current minimum config
    that was found till that time.
    
    Note, this test automatically assumes a BUILD_TYPE of oldconfig
    and its test type acts like boot.
    
    TODO: add a test version that makes the config do more than just
          boot, like having network access.
