selftests: ALSA: Skip utimer test when CONFIG_SND_UTIMER is not enabled

2026-03-27T13:40:18+00:00

The timer_f.utimer test hard-fails with ASSERT_EQ when SNDRV_TIMER_IOCTL_CREATE returns -1 on kernels without CONFIG_SND_UTIMER. This causes the entire alsa kselftest suite to report a failure rather than skipping the unsupported test. When CONFIG_SND_UTIMER is not enabled, the ioctl is not recognised and the kernel returns -ENOTTY. If the timer device or subdevice does not exist, -ENXIO is returned. Skip the test in both cases, but still fail on any other unexpected error.

selftests: complete kselftest include centralization

2025-11-27T22:24:31+00:00

This follow-up patch completes centralization of kselftest.h and ksefltest_harness.h includes in remaining seltests files, replacing all relative paths with a non-relative paths using shared -I include path in lib.mk Tested with gcc-13.3 and clang-18.1, and cross-compiled successfully on riscv, arm64, x86_64 and powerpc arch.

Free the malloc'd buffer in TEST_F(timer_f, utimer) to prevent memory leak.

selftests: ALSA: Cover userspace-driven timers with test

2024-08-18T07:55:55+00:00

Add a test for the new functionality of userspace-driven timers and the tool which allows us to count timer ticks in a certain time period. The test: 1. Creates a userspace-driven timer with ioctl to /dev/snd/timer 2. Starts the `global-timer` application to count the ticks of the timer from step 1. 3. Asynchronously triggers the timer multiple times with some interval 4. Compares the amount of caught ticks with the amount of trigger calls. Since we can't include and in one file due to overlapping declarations, I have to split the test into two applications: one of them counts the amount of timer ticks in the defined time period, and another one is the actual test which creates the timer, triggers it periodically and starts the first app to count the amount of ticks in a separate thread. Besides from testing the functionality itself, the test represents a sample application showing userspace-driven ALSA timers API. Also, the timer test includes a test case which tries to create a timer with invalid resolution (=0), and NULL as a timer info structure.
