|
* How to add or update the tests:
|
||||||
|
* Contributor:
|
||||||
|
* 1. add empty files for new tables, if any, under tests/data/acpi
|
||||||
|
* 2. list any changed files in tests/bios-tables-test-allowed-diff.h
|
||||||
|
* 3. commit the above *before* making changes that affect the tables
|
||||||
|
* Maintainer:
|
||||||
|
* After 1-3 above tests will pass but ignore differences with the expected files.
|
||||||
|
* You will also notice that tests/bios-tables-test-allowed-diff.h lists
|
||||||
|
* a bunch of files. This is your hint that you need to do the below:
|
||||||
|
* 4. Run
|
||||||
|
* make check V=1
|
||||||
|
* this will produce a bunch of warnings about differences
|
||||||
|
* beween actual and expected ACPI tables. If you have IASL installed,
|
||||||
|
* they will also be disassembled so you can look at the disassembled
|
||||||
|
* output. If not - disassemble them yourself in any way you like.
|
||||||
|
* Look at the differences - make sure they make sense and match what the
|
||||||
|
* changes you are merging are supposed to do.
|
||||||
|
*
|
||||||
|
* 5. From build directory, run:
|
||||||
|
* $(SRC_PATH)/tests/data/acpi/rebuild-expected-aml.sh
|
||||||
|
* 6. Now commit any changes.
|
||||||
|
* 7. Before doing a pull request, make sure tests/bios-tables-test-allowed-diff.h
|
||||||
|
* is empty - this will ensure following changes to ACPI tables will
|
||||||
|
* be noticed.
