fault-injection: fix failcmd.sh warning

2012-08-01T01:42:38+00:00

"fault-injection: add tool to run command with failslab or
fail_page_alloc" added tools/testing/fault-injection/failcmd.sh to make it
easier to inject slab/page allocation failures by fault injection.

failcmd.sh prints the following warning when running with arguments
for command.

	# ./failcmd.sh echo aaa
	failcmd.sh: line 209: [: echo: binary operator expected
	aaa

This warning is caused by an improper check whether at least one
parameter is left after parsing command options.

Fix it by testing the length of $1 instead of $@

Merge branch 'akpm' (Andrew's patch-bomb)

2012-07-31T00:25:34+00:00

Merge Andrew's first set of patches:
 "Non-MM patches:

   - lots of misc bits

   - tree-wide have_clk() cleanups

   - quite a lot of printk tweaks.  I draw your attention to "printk:
     convert the format for KERN_ to a 2 byte pattern" which
     looks a bit scary.  But afaict it's solid.

   - backlight updates

   - lib/ feature work (notably the addition and use of memweight())

   - checkpatch updates

   - rtc updates

   - nilfs updates

   - fatfs updates (partial, still waiting for acks)

   - kdump, proc, fork, IPC, sysctl, taskstats, pps, etc

   - new fault-injection feature work"

fault-injection: add tool to run command with failslab or fail_page_alloc

2012-07-31T00:25:22+00:00

This adds tools/testing/fault-injection/failcmd.sh to run a command while
injecting slab/page allocation failures via fault injection.

Example:

Run a command "make -C tools/testing/selftests/ run_tests" with
injecting slab allocation failure.

	# ./tools/testing/fault-injection/failcmd.sh \
		-- make -C tools/testing/selftests/ run_tests

Same as above except to specify 100 times failures at most instead of
one time at most by default.

	# ./tools/testing/fault-injection/failcmd.sh --times=100 \
		-- make -C tools/testing/selftests/ run_tests

Same as above except to inject page allocation failure instead of slab
allocation failure.

	# env FAILCMD_TYPE=fail_page_alloc \
		./tools/testing/fault-injection/failcmd.sh --times=100 \
		-- make -C tools/testing/selftests/ run_tests

fault-injection: add selftests for cpu and memory hotplug

2012-07-31T00:25:22+00:00

This adds two selftests

* tools/testing/selftests/cpu-hotplug/on-off-test.sh is testing script
for CPU hotplug

1. Online all hot-pluggable CPUs
2. Offline all hot-pluggable CPUs
3. Online all hot-pluggable CPUs again
4. Exit if cpu-notifier-error-inject.ko is not available
5. Offline all hot-pluggable CPUs in preparation for testing
6. Test CPU hot-add error handling by injecting notifier errors
7. Online all hot-pluggable CPUs in preparation for testing
8. Test CPU hot-remove error handling by injecting notifier errors

* tools/testing/selftests/memory-hotplug/on-off-test.sh is doing the
similar thing for memory hotplug.

1. Online all hot-pluggable memory
2. Offline 10% of hot-pluggable memory
3. Online all hot-pluggable memory again
4. Exit if memory-notifier-error-inject.ko is not available
5. Offline 10% of hot-pluggable memory in preparation for testing
6. Test memory hot-add error handling by injecting notifier errors
7. Online all hot-pluggable memory in preparation for testing
8. Test memory hot-remove error handling by injecting notifier errors

ktest: Allow perl regex expressions in conditional statements

2012-07-30T18:37:01+00:00

Add '=~' and '!~' to the list of allowed conditionals for DEFAULT and
TEST_START section if statements.

ie.

 TEST_START IF TEST =~ .*test$

ktest: Ignore errors it tests if IGNORE_ERRORS is set

2012-07-30T18:33:55+00:00

The option IGNORE_ERRORS is used to allow a test to succeed even if a
warning appears from the kernel. Sometimes kernels will produce warnings
that are not associated with a test, and the user wants to test
something else.

The IGNORE_ERRORS works for boot up, but was not preventing test runs to
succeed if the kernel produced a warning.

ktest: Reset saved min (force) configs for each test

2012-07-21T02:39:16+00:00

The min configs are saved in a perl hash called force_configs, and this
hash is used to add configs to the .config file. But it was not being
reset between tests and a min config from a previous test would affect
the min config of the next test causing undesirable results.

Reset the force_config hash at the start of each test.

ktest: Add check for bug or panic during reboot

2012-07-19T20:11:21+00:00

Usually the target is booted into a dependable kernel when a test
starts. The test will install the test kernel and reboot the box. But
there may be a time that the kernel is running an unreliable kernel and
the reboot may crash.

Have ktest detect crashes on a reboot and force a power-cycle instead.

This can usually happen if a test kernel was installed to run manual
tests, but the user forgot to reboot to the known good kernel.

ktest: Add MAX_MONITOR_WAIT option

2012-07-19T20:05:42+00:00

If the console is constantly outputting content, this can cause ktest
to get stuck waiting on the monitor to settle down.

The option MAX_MONITOR_WAIT is the maximum time (in seconds) for ktest
to wait for the console to flush.

ktest: Fix config bisect with how make oldnoconfig works

2012-07-19T19:29:43+00:00

With a name like 'oldnoconfig' one may think that the config generated
would disable all configs that were not defined (selecting "no" for all
options). But this is not the case. It selects the default. If a config
has a 'default y', then it is added if not specified.

This broke the config bisect, because options not specified by a config
will just use the default, where it expected to turn off. This caused an
option to be enabled that disabled an option that would break the build.
The end result was that we never found the bad config at the end of the
test.

Instead of using 'make oldnoconfig', ktest now builds the options it
expects enabled and disabled. When it turns off an option, it will no
longer remove it, but actually set it to:

 # CONFIG_FOO is not set.
