[LTP] [PATCH v2 1/2] lib: Extend -D flag to support multiple debug levels

Tue Mar 3 04:23:10 CET 2026
This patch extends the LTP debugging framework by introducing multiple
levels of verbosity for the '-D' command line option. Instead of a simple
on/off toggle, it now allows developers to specify whether they want debug
output exclusively from the test process, or from both the test and library
processes.
The supported debug levels are:
-D0 : Disable all debug logs (default behavior)
-D1 (-D): Enable debug logs for the test process only
-D2 : Enable verbose debug logs for both the test and library processes

Notes:
v1 --> v2:
* drop the if (context->tdebug) condition in tst_reinit().

environment variable (see :doc:`../users/setup_tests`).
+The ``-D`` parameter also supports the following verbosity levels:
