[PATCH v3 2/9] KVM: selftests: Provide executables path option to the KVM selftest runner

Vipin Sharma vipinsh at google.com
Tue Sep 30 09:36:28 PDT 2025


Add command line option, -p/--path, to specify the directory where
test binaries exist. If this option is not provided then default
to the current directory.

Example:
  python3 runner --dirs test -p ~/build/selftests

This option enables executing tests from out-of-tree builds.
