The kvm-again.sh script can be used to repeat short boot-time tests, but the kernel boot arguments cannot be changed. This means that every change in kernel boot arguments currently necessitates a kernel build, which greatly increases the duration of kernel-boot testing. This commit therefore adds a --bootargs parameter to kvm-again.sh, which allows a given kernel to be repeatedly booted, but overriding old and adding new kernel boot parameters. This allows an old kernel to be booted with new kernel boot parameters, avoiding the overhead of rebuilding the kernel under test. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
