selftests: fix ARCH normalization to handle command-line argument

2026-03-28T04:19:44+00:00

Several selftests Makefiles (e.g. prctl, breakpoints, etc) attempt to normalize the ARCH variable by converting x86_64 and i.86 to x86. However, it uses the conditional assignment operator '?='. When ARCH is passed as a command-line argument (e.g., during an rpmbuild process), the '?=' operator ignores the shell command and the sed transformation. This leads to an incorrect ARCH value being used, which causes build failures # make -C tools/testing/selftests TARGETS=prctl ARCH=x86_64 make: Entering directory '/build/tools/testing/selftests' make[1]: Entering directory '/build/tools/testing/selftests/prctl' make[1]: *** No targets. Stop. make[1]: Leaving directory '/build/tools/testing/selftests/prctl' make: *** [Makefile:197: all] Error 2 Change the assignment to use 'override' and ':=' to ensure the normalization logic is applied regardless of how the ARCH variable was initially defined.

selftests/thermel/intel: Add test to read power floor status

2023-10-12T19:09:48+00:00

Some SoCs have firmware support to notify, if the system can't lower power limit to a value requested from user space via RAPL constraints. This test program waits for notification of power floor and prints. This program can be used to test this feature and also allows other user space programs to use as a reference.
