2011-10-17ktest: Add TEST_TYPE install optionSteven Rostedt
In testing one of my boxes, I found that I only wanted to build and install the kernel. I wanted to manually reboot the box and test it. Adding a TEST_TYPE option "install" allows this to happen. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2011-07-15ktest: Fix bug when ADD_CONFIG is set but MIN_CONFIG is notSteven Rostedt
The MIN_CONFIG is a single config that is considered to have all the configs that are required to boot the box. ADD_CONFIG is a list of configs that we add that may contain configs known to be broken (set off) or just configs that we want every box to have and this can include shared configs. If a config has no MIN_CONFIG defined, but has multiple files defined for the ADD_CONFIG, the test will die, because the MIN_CONFIG will default to ADD_CONFIG. The problem is the code to open MIN_CONFIG expects a string of one file, not multiple, and the open will fail. Since the real minconfig that is used is a concatination of MIN_CONFIG and ADD_CONFIG files, we change the code to open that instead of whatever MIN_CONFIG defaults to.

2011-07-15ktest: Keep fonud configs separate from default configsSteven Rostedt
The IGNORE_CONFIG file holds the configs that we don't want to change (with their proper settings). But on start up, the make noconfig is executed, and the configs that are on are also put into the ignore config category. But these are configs that were forced on by the kconfig scripts and not something that we found must be enabled to boot our machine. By keeping the configs that are forced on by default, separate from the configs we found that are required to boot the box, we can get a much more interesting IGNORE_CONFIG. In fact, the IGNORE_CONFIG can usually end up being the must have configs to boot, and only have 6 or 7 configs set. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2011-07-15ktest: Add prompt to use OUTPUT_MIN_CONFIGSteven Rostedt
If the defined OUTPUT_MIN_CONFIG in the make_min_config test exists, then give a prompt to ask the user if they want to use that config instead, as it is very often the case, especially when the test has been interrupted. The OUTPUT_MIN_CONFIG is usually the config that one wants to use to continue the test where they left off. But if START_MIN_CONFIG is defined (thus the MIN_CONFIG is not the default), then do not prompt, as it will be annoying if the user has this as one of many tests, and the test pauses waiting for input, while the user is sleeping.

2011-07-15ktest: Use Kconfig dependencies to shorten time to make min_configSteven Rostedt
To save time, the test does not just grab any option and test it. The Kconfig files are examined to determine the dependencies of the configs. If a config is chosen that depends on another config, that config will be checked first. By checking the parents first, we can eliminate whole groups of configs that may have been enabled. For example, if a USB device config is chosen and depends on CONFIG_USB, the CONFIG_USB will be tested before the device. If CONFIG_USB is found not to be needed, it, as well as all configs that depend on it, will be disabled and removed from the current min_config. Note, the code from streamline_config (make localmodconfig) was copied and used to find the dependencies in the Kconfig file. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2011-07-15ktest: Add test type make_min_configSteven Rostedt
After doing a make localyesconfig, your kernel configuration may not be the most useful minimum configuration. Having a true minimum config that you can use against other configs is very useful if someone else has a config that breaks on your code. By only forcing those configurations that are truly required to boot your machine will give you less of a chance that one of your set configurations will make the bug go away. This will give you a better chance to be able to reproduce the reported bug matching the broken config. Note, this does take some time, and may require you to run the test over night, or perhaps over the weekend. But it also allows you to interrupt it, and gives you the current minimum config that was found till that time. Note, this test automatically assumes a BUILD_TYPE of oldconfig and its test type acts like boot. TODO: add a test version that makes the config do more than just boot, like having network access.

2011-06-14ktest: Require one TEST_START in config fileSteven Rostedt
There has been too many times that I put in one too many SKIP TEST_STARTs and start the test with the default randconfig by accident that I added this to have ktest ask the user for which test they want to run if no TEST_START is specified. Now if I accidently start the test with all TEST_STARTs skipped, ktest asks what test do I want to run, and I now have a chance to kill it before it does a make mrproper on my build directory.

2011-06-14ktest: Add helper function to avoid duplicate codeSteven Rostedt
Several places had the following code: get_grub_index; get_version; install; start_monitor; return monitor; Creating a function "start_monitor_and_boot()" replaces these mulitple uses with a single call. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2011-06-14ktest: Add IGNORE_WARNINGS to ignore warnings in some patchesSteven Rostedt
Doing a patchcheck test, there may be warnings that gcc produces which may be OK, and the test should not fail on that commit. By adding a IGNORE_WARNINGS option to list a space delimited SHA1s that are ignored lets the user avoid having the test fail on certain commits. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2011-06-14ktest: Fix tar extracting of modules to targetSteven Rostedt
The tar command to create the module directory is cjf, but the extraction only had xf. This works on most versions of tar, but some versions of tar require xjf for extraction as well. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2011-06-14ktest: Have the testing tmp dir include machine nameSteven Rostedt
As multiple tests may be executed by the same server, have the test machine name add uniqueness to the value of the temp directory. Otherwise the temp directories may overwrite each other's tests. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2011-06-14ktest: Add POST/PRE_BUILD optionsSteven Rostedt
There are some cases that a patch may be needed to apply to the kernel in patchcheck or bisect tests. Adding a PRE_BUILD option to apply the patch and POST_BUILD to remove it, allows for this to be done easily. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2011-06-13ktest: Allow initrd processing without modules definedSteven Rostedt
When a config is set with CONFIG_MODULES=n, it does not mean that the kernel does not need an initrd to boot. For systems that depend on LVM and such, an initrd must run first. If POST_INSTALL is defined, then run the post install regardless if modules are needed or not. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2011-06-13ktest: Have LOG_FILE evaluate options as wellSteven Rostedt
The LOG_FILE variable needs to evaluate the $ options as well. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2011-06-13ktest: Have wait on stdio honor bug timeoutSteven Rostedt
After a bug is found, the STOP_AFTER_FAILURE timeout is used to determine how much output should be printed before breaking out of the monitor loop. This is to get things like call traces and enough infromation about the bug to help determine what caused it. The STOP_AFTER_FAILURE is usually much shorter than the TIMEOUT that is used to determine when to quit after no more stdio is given. But since the stdio read uses a wait on I/O, the STOP_AFTER_FAILURE is only checked after we get something from I/O. But if the I/O does not return any more data, we wait the TIMEOUT period instead, even though we already triggered a bug report. The wait on I/O should honor the STOP_AFTER_FAILURE time if a bug has been found. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2011-06-13ktest: Implement our own force min configSteven Rostedt
Using the build KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG environment variable to force the min config may not always work properly. Since ktest is written in perl, it is trivial to read and replace the current config with the configs specified by the min config. Now the min config (and add configs) are read by perl and before a make is done, these configs in the .config file are replaced by the version in the min config. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2011-06-13ktest: Add TEST_NAME optionSteven Rostedt
Searching through several tests, it gets confusing which test result is for which test. By adding the TEST_NAME option, the user can tell which test result belongs to which test. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2011-06-13ktest: Add CONFIG_BISECT_GOOD optionSteven Rostedt
Currently the config_bisect compares the min config with the CONFIG_BISECT config. There may be another config that we know is good that we want to ignore configs on. By passing in this config it will ignore the options that are set in the good config. Note: This only ignores the config, it does not (yet) handle options that are different between the two configs. If the good config has "SLAB" set and the bad config has "SLUB" it will not find the bug if the bug had to do with changing these two options. This is something that I intend to implement in the future. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2011-06-13ktest: Add detection of triple faultsSteven Rostedt
When a triple fault happens in a test, no call trace nor panic is displayed. Instead, the system reboots to the good kernel. Since the good kernel may display a boot prompt that matches the success string, ktest may think that the test succeeded, when it did not. Detecting triple faults is tricky because it is hard to generalize what a reboot looks like. The best that we can come up with for now is to examine the Linux banner. If we detect that the Linux banner matches the test we want to test, then look to see if we hit another Linux banner with a different kernel is booted. This can be assumed to be a triple fault. We can't just check for two Linux banners because things like early printk may cause the Linux banner to be displayed twice. Checking for different kernel versions should be the safe bet. If this for some reason detects a false triple boot. A new ktest config option is also created: DETECT_TRIPLE_FAULT This can be set to 0 to disable this checking. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2011-06-13ktest: Notify reason to break out of monitoring bootSteven Rostedt
Different timeouts can cause the ktest monitor to break out of the loop. It becomes annoying that one does not know the reason why it exited the monitor loop. Display the cause of the reason why the loop was exited. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2011-06-02ktest: Ignore unset values of the minconfig in config_bisectSteven Rostedt
By ignoring the unset values of the minconfig in deciding what to test in the config_bisect can cause the problem config from being tested too. Just do not test the configs that are set in the minconfig. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2011-06-02ktest: Fix result of rebooting the kernelSteven Rostedt
The command that is called that reboots the kernel may fail but the return code is not passed back to the ktest.pl script. This is because a ';' is used between the two commands and if the second command fails, only the first command's return code is returned. Using a '&&' between the two commands fixes this. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2011-06-02ktest: Fix off-by-one in config bisect resultSteven Rostedt
Because in perl the array size returned by $#arr, is the last index and not the actually size of the array, we end the config bisect early, thinking there is only one config left when there are in fact two. Thus the result has a 50% chance of picking the correct config that caused the problem. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2011-05-20ktest: Allow options to be used by other optionsSteven Rostedt
There are cases where one ktest option may be used within another ktest option. Allow them to be reused just like config variables but there are evaluated at time of test not config processing time. Thus having something like: MAKE_CMD = make ARCH=${ARCH} TEST_START ARCH = powerpc TEST_START ARCH = arm Will have the arch defined for each test iteration. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2011-05-20ktest: Create variables for the ktest config filesSteven Rostedt
I found that I constantly reuse information for each test case. It would be nice to just define a variable to reuse. For example I may have: TEST_START [...] TEST = ssh root@mybox /path/to/my/script TEST_START [...] TEST = ssh root@mybox /path/to/my/script [etc] The issue is, I may wont to change that script or one of the other fields. Then I need to update each line individually. With the addition of config variables (variables only used during parsing the config) we can simplify the config files. These variables can also be defined multiple times and each time the new value will overwrite the old value. The convention to use a config variable over a ktest option is to use := instead of =. Now we could do: USER := root TARGET := mybox TEST_SCRIPT := /path/to/my/script TEST_CASE := ${USER}@${TARGET} ${TEST_SCRIPT} TEST_START [...] TEST = ${TEST_CASE} TEST_START [...] TEST = ${TEST_CASE} [etc] Now we just need to update the variables at the top.

2011-05-20ktest: Reboot after each patchcheck runSteven Rostedt
The patches being checked may not leave the kernel in a state that the next run will allow the new kernel to be copied to the machine. Reboot to a known good kernel before continuing to the next kernel to test. Added option PATCHCHECK_SLEEP_TIME for the max time to sleep between patchcheck reboots. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2011-05-20ktest: Reboot to good kernel after every bisect runSteven Rostedt
Reboot after each bisect run regardless if the bisect passed or failed. The test may just be to boot the kernel and that kernel may not have a way to copy the next kerne to it. Reboot to a known good kernel after each bisect run. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2011-05-20ktest: If test failed due to timeout, print thatSteven Rostedt
If the test failed due to timeout for boot, print a message saying so. Otherwise the user will be confused to why their test just failed. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2011-05-20ktest: Fix post install commandSteven Rostedt
The command to run post install (for those that want initrds) was broken. Instead of doing a substitution for the $KERNEL_VERSION variable. It was replacing the entire command with nothing. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

2011-03-08ktest: Add STOP_TEST_AFTER to stop the test after a period of timeSteven Rostedt
Currently, if a test causes constant output but never reaches a boot prompt, or crashes, the test will never stop. Add STOP_TEST_AFTER to create a variable that will stop (and fail) the test after it has run for this amount of time. The default is 10 minutes. Setting this variable to -1 will disable it. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2011-03-08ktest: Monitor kernel while running of user testsSteven Rostedt
Record the console of tests to both the console and the log. Also, record the bug reports afte the test has completed. Currently, if a kernel bug happens while running the userland test, the test stops and will not record the kernel bug. This makes it difficult to solve what happened. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2011-03-08ktest: Fix bug where the test would not end after failureSteven Rostedt
The config STOP_AFTER_FAILURE is the number of seconds to continue the test when a failure is detected. This lets the monitor record more data to the logs and console that may be helpful in solving the bug that was found. But the test had a bug. If the failure caused multiple "Call Trace" stack dumps, the start time to compare the STOP_AFTER_FAILURE would constantly be reset. Only update the start time at the first "Call Trace" instance.

2011-03-08ktest: Add BISECT_FILES to run git bisect on pathsSteven Rostedt
Add the config option BISECT_FILES that allows the user to specify what path in the kernel to run the git bisect on. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2011-03-08ktest: Add BISECT_SKIPSteven Rostedt
If a during a git bisect, ktest fails on something other than what it is testing (if BISECT_TYPE is test but it fails on build), if BISECT_SKIP is set, then it will do a "git bisect skip" instead of just failing the bisect and letting the user find a good commit to test. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2011-03-08ktest: Add manual bisectSteven Rostedt
For both git bisect and config bisect, if BISECT_MANUAL is set to 1, then bisect will stop between iterations and ask the user for the result. The actual result is ignored. This makes it possible to use ktest.pl for bisecting configs and git and let the user examine the results themselves and enter their own results. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2011-03-08ktest: Handle kernels before make oldnoconfigSteven Rostedt
When bisecting, one may come across a kernel that does not have make oldnoconfig. In this case, we need to run the command "yes" into a make oldconfig. This will select defaults instead of 'n' into each command, but it works as a work around. Note, "yes n" will not work because a config may have a value that "n" is not acceptable for. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2011-03-08ktest: Start failure timeout on panic tooSteven Rostedt
Currently we just look for a Call Trace to start the time out when to reboot the box. But if the kernel panics and does not show a Call Trace, the test will not reboot the box after the specified timeout. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

2010-11-18ktest: Ask for the manditory config options instead of just failingSteven Rostedt
In keeping with the notion that all tools should be simple for all to use. I've changed ktest.pl to ask for mandatory options instead of just failing. It will append (or create) the options the user types in, onto the config file. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2010-11-18ktest: Copy the last good and bad configs in config_bisectSteven Rostedt
During the config_bisect, in case of failure, it is nice to have the last good and bad .configs that were used. This would let us restart the config_bisect from those configs. Copy the last good config into the output dir as config_good, and the last bad config as config_bad. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2010-11-18ktest: For grub reboot, use run_ssh instead of run_commandSteven Rostedt
The run_ssh handles the ssh variable $SSH_COMMAND, which was not being used by the run_command in reboot_to function. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2010-11-18ktest: Added force stop after success and failureSteven Rostedt
Added the options STOP_AFTER_SUCCESS and STOP_AFTER_FAILURE to allow the user to give a time (in seconds) to stop the monitor after a stack trace or login has been detected. Sometimes the kernel constantly prints out to the console and this may cause the test to run indefinitely. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2010-11-18ktest: Parse off the directory name in useconfig for failuresSteven Rostedt
When we store failures, we create a directory that has the build_type in it. For useconfig, it also contains the name path of the config file it uses. This unfortunately gets its own directory on failure. Parse off the directory name when creating the directory to store the failures. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2010-11-18ktest: Use different temp config name for minconfigSteven Rostedt
By using the "use_config" for minconfig and addconfig we risk trying to copy itself to itself, which will cause an unexpected failure. Use a different name instead. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2010-11-18ktest: Added config_bisect test typeSteven Rostedt
Added the ability to do a config_bisect. It starts with a bad config and does the following loop. Enable half the configs. if none of the configs to check are not enabled (caused by missing dependencies) enable the other half. Run the test if the test passes, remove the configs from the check but enabled them for further tests (to satisfy dependencies). else Remove any config that was not enabled, as we have found a new config that can cause a failure. loop till we have only one config left.
