Message-ID<todjz-4ib-7@gated-at.bofh.it>
elkdat is a tool to ease linux kernel development/test. It
automatically setups linux kernel
source repository and a VM for linux kernel development and test. In
addition, It runs
the following kinds of tests automatically just by one command.

- build, install, boot you own kernel
- run your own tests on your own kernel
- test the all patches in a patchset
- find a problematic commit with bisect

  NOTE:
  Actually these features are achieved by ktest. elkdat is just a
ktest's wrapper.
  Special thanks to Steven Rostedt!


Here are some examples.

* Boot your own kernel

```
$ ./test boot
```

* Run your own test on your own kernel

```
$ ./test test /path/to/your/own/test
```

* Test whether all patches in your patcheset are bootable or not one by one

```
$ ./test patchcheck <first patch's commit ID> <last patch's commit ID> boot
```

* Find which commit introduces an un-bootable bug by bysect

```
./test bisect <good commit> <bad commit> boot
```
