Commit 852c8cbf34d3 ("selftests/kselftest/runner.sh: Add 45 second timeout per test") added a 45 second timeout for tests, and also added a way for tests to customise the timeout via a settings file.
For example the ftrace tests take multiple minutes to run, so they were given longer in commit b43e78f65b1d ("tracing/selftests: Turn off timeout setting").
This works when the tests are run from the source tree. However if the tests are installed with "make -C tools/testing/selftests install", the settings files are not copied into the install directory. When the tests are then run from the install directory the longer timeouts are not applied and the tests timeout incorrectly.
Eek, yes, nice catch.
So add the settings files to TEST_FILES of the appropriate Makefiles to cause the settings files to be installed using the existing install logic.
Instead, shouldn't lib.mk "notice" the settings file and automatically include it in TEST_FILES instead of having to do this in each separate Makefile?
