[PATCH v3 0/3] selftests/livepatch: small script cleanups

[Joe Lawrence <joe.lawrence@redhat.com>]

Hi Petr,

Given the realization about kernel log timestamps and partial log
comparison with v2, I respun a final version dropping the dmesg --notime
patch, fixed any rebase conflicts, and added a comment per your
suggestion.

I copied all the ack and review tags from v2 since the patchset is
unchanged otherwise.  Hopefully this v3 minimizes any maintainer
fiddling on your end.

I did iterate through the patches and verified that I could run each
multiple times without the dmesg comparison getting confused.

Thanks,

-- Joe


v3:

- when modifying the dmesg comparision to select only new messages in
  patch 1, add a comment explaining the importance of timestamps to
  accurately pick from where the log left off at start_test [pmladek]

- since Petr determined that the timestamps were in fact very important
  to maintain for the dmesg / diff comparision, drop the patch which
  added --notime to dmesg invocations [pmladek]

- update the comparision regex filter for 'livepatch:' now that it's
  going to be prefixed by '[timestamp] ' and no longer at the start of
  the buffer line.  This part of the log comparison should now be
  unmodified by the patchset.
