[PATCH v3 3/9] KVM: selftests: Add timeout option in selftests runner

Tue Sep 30 09:36:29 PDT 2025


Add a command line argument in KVM selftest runner to limit amount of
time (seconds) given to a test for execution. Kill the test if it
exceeds the given timeout. Define a new SelftestStatus.TIMED_OUT to
denote a selftest final result. Add terminal color for status messages
of timed out tests.

Set the default value of 120 seconds for all tests.
