The testsuite/systemtap.examples/check.exp test case has the following feature: # To restrict scripts to test, set the CHECK_ONLY environment variable. # For example, to only test the badname and fntimes scripts, run: # # make installcheck RUNTESTFLAGS="check.exp" CHECK_ONLY="badname fntimes" It would be nice if the testsuite/systemtap.syscall/syscall.exp and testsuite/systemtap.syscall/nd_syscall.exp test cases supported something similar to allow testing of only certain syscalls. It would look something like: make installcheck RUNTESTFLAGS=syscall.exp CHECK_ONLY="accept4 getgroups"
Fixed in commit d7f4bef.
