Joachim Wiberg 5a3972714a keventd: defer pidfile until coldplug queue is drained
When started with -c (the default when keventd is the device manager),
gate the pidfile on the kernel's uevent_seqnum having been stable for
200ms.  Up to now ready signaling with the pidfile was done right after
coldplug() triggered the kernel to re-emit events, but before uev_run()
had drained any of them, so <pid/keventd> really only meant "listening
on netlink".

With the gate, services that depend on <pid/keventd> can now assume /dev
is populated and persistent symlinks are live.

Finit Test Suite

Finit comes with a set of tests and a small framework for running them. Contributors are encouraged to write new tests when implementing features, or fixing bugs.

Each test is run in isolation, in it's own namespace. Finit will therefore be able to be launched as PID 1. Since it's also running with it's own root directory it will be able to function properly without having any super user privileges in the host environment.

Running tests

To run the test suite, first build Finit, e.g:

./configure --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix= --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --enable-testserv-plugin
make -j9 clean all

Then run (parallel does not work atm):

make check

make check will set up the required assets for the test environment, and then run the full set of tests. The environment is not removed afterwards so at this point individual tests can be executed without having to run the entire test suite, which is handy when developing new tests or debugging existing test. To execute an individual test, simply invoke the script containing it:

./test/name-of-the-test.sh

Another way to run a single (or more) test(s) is to define the TESTS environment variable:

TESTS="start-kill-service" make check
