* scripts/spelling.txt: add "an user" pattern and fix typo instancesMasahiro Yamada2017-02-271-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix typos and add the following to the scripts/spelling.txt: an user||a user an userspace||a userspace I also added "userspace" to the list since it is a common word in Linux. I found some instances for "an userfaultfd", but I did not add it to the list. I felt it is endless to find words that start with "user" such as "userland" etc., so must draw a line somewhere.

* selftests: remove duplicated all and clean targetbamvor.zhangjian@huawei.com2017-01-051-0/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, kselftest use TEST_PROGS, TEST_PROGS_EXTENDED, TEST_FILES to indicate the test program, extended test program and test files. It is easy to understand the purpose of these files. But mix of compiled and uncompiled files lead to duplicated "all" and "clean" targets. In order to remove the duplicated targets, introduce TEST_GEN_PROGS, TEST_GEN_PROGS_EXTENDED, TEST_GEN_FILES to indicate the compiled objects. Also, the later patch will make use of TEST_GEN_XXX to redirect these files to output directory indicated by KBUILD_OUTPUT or O. And add this changes to "Contributing new tests(details)" of Documentation/kselftest.txt.

* kselftest: kselftest documentation improvementAleksander Alekseev2016-09-201-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Suggested patch solves two issues: 1) Currently documentation is unclear whether `make kselftest` should be run before or after kernel was installed and booted. `make help` gives a clear answer on that: "kselftest - Build and run kernel selftest (run as root). Build, install, and boot kernel before running kselftest on it." 2) Documentation states that `make kselftest` executes "unit" tests. Technically it's not a _unit_ test if it requires to install an application first. It's either integration or system test. To not to confuse a user I suggest not to use a word "unit".
