ktest: Set CLOSE_CONSOLE_SIGNAL in the kvm.conf

2014-02-26T20:26:24Z

As mentioned at commit 5a5d8e48449, we can't terminate 'virsh console' with the default signal(INT). So it's better to set CLOSE_CONSOLE_SIGNAL in the kvm.conf.

Pull ktest updates from Steven Rostedt: "Here's some basic updates to ktest.pl. They include: - add config to modify the signal to terminate console - update to documentation (missing some config options) - add KERNEL_VERSION variable to use for other configs - add '=~' to let configs eval other configs - add BISECT_TRIES to run multiple tests per git bisect good" * tag 'ktest-v3.14' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-ktest: ktest: Add BISECT_TRIES to bisect test ktest: Add eval '=~' command to modify variables in config file ktest: Add special variable ${KERNEL_VERSION} ktest: Add documentation of CLOSE_CONSOLE_SIGNAL ktest: Make the signal to terminate the console configurable

ktest: Add BISECT_TRIES to bisect test

2014-01-19T00:52:13Z

For those cases that it takes several tries to hit a bug, it would be useful for ktest.pl to try a test multiple times before it considers the test as a pass. To accomplish this, BISECT_TRIES ktest config option has been added. It is default to one, as most of the time a bisect only needs to try a test once. But the user can now up this to make ktest run a given test multiple times. The first failure that is detected will set a bisect bad. It only repeats on success. Note, as with all race bugs, there's no guarantee that if it succeeds, it is really a good bisect. But it helps in case the bug is somewhat reliable. You can set BISECT_TRIES to zero, and all tests will be considered good, unless you also set BISECT_MANUAL. Suggested-by: "Paul E. McKenney" Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

ktest: Add eval '=~' command to modify variables in config file

2013-12-12T02:16:59Z

With the added variable ${KERNEL_VERSION}, it is useful to be able to use parts of it for other variables. For example, if you want to create a warnings file for each major kernel version to test sub versions against you can create your warnings file with like this: WARNINGS_FILE = warnings-file-${KERNEL_VERSION} But this may add 3.8.12 or something, and we want all 3.8.* to use the same file, and 3.10.* to use another file, and so on. With the eval command we can, by adding: WARNINGS_FILE =~ s/(-file-\d+\.\d+).*/$1/ Which will chop off the extra characters after the 3.8. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

ktest: Add special variable ${KERNEL_VERSION}

2013-12-11T20:53:31Z

Add a special variable that can be used in other variables called ${KERNEL_VERSION}. This will embed the current kernel version into the variable. For example: WARNINGS_FILE = ${OUTPUT_DIR}/warnings-${KERNEL_VERSION} If the current version is v3.8 then the WARNINGS_FILE will become ${OUTPUT_DIR}/warnings-v3.8 Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

ktest: Add documentation of CLOSE_CONSOLE_SIGNAL

2013-12-03T17:02:36Z

The sample.conf file needs to document all available options. With the new CLOSE_CONSOE_SIGNAL option, it too needs to be document. Cc: Satoru Takeuchi Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

ktest: Make the signal to terminate the console configurable

2013-12-03T16:56:07Z

Currently ktest sends SIGINT to terminate the console. However, there are consoles which do not exit by this signal, for example, in my case, "virsh console ". In such case, ktest is blocked in close_console(). It prevents this automate test. This patch adds new option CLOSE_CONSOLE_SIGNAL which mean the signal to terminate the console. Since its default value is "INT", the original behavior isn't changed.

ktest: Reset grub menu cache with different machines

2013-04-24T20:03:30Z

Different tests may use a different machine. In such cases, we need to try to get the current grub menu index. If the same grub menu is used for two different machines, it may not be at the same index on the second machine. A search for the index must be performed again. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt
