From: Simon Glass Date: Sat, 6 Aug 2022 23:51:59 +0000 (-0600) Subject: Makefile: Add a pcheck option to run tests in parallel X-Git-Url: http://git.dujemihanovic.xyz/%7B%7B%20%24style.Permalink%20%7D%7D?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d1962ac7978559735ce172dc2d1822952d89e0a8;p=u-boot.git Makefile: Add a pcheck option to run tests in parallel Running tests in parallel is much faster, e.g. 15 seconds to run the tests on sandbox (only), instead of 100 seconds (on a 16-core machine). Add a 'make pcheck' option to access this feature. Note that the tools/ tests still run each tool's tests once after the other, although within that, they do run in parallel. So for example, the buildman tests run in parallel, then the binman tests run in parallel. There would be a signiificant advantage to running them all in parallel together, but that would require a large amount of refactoring, e.g. with more use of pytest fixtures. Update the documentation to represent the current state.
