2013-02-18ktest: Remove indexes from warnings checkSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
The index of a line where a warning is tested can be returned differently on different versions of gcc (or same version compiled differently). That is, a tab + space can give different results. This causes the warning check to produce a false positive. Removing the index from the check fixes this issue. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2013-02-05ktest: Ignore warnings during rebootSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
The reboot just wants to get to the next kernel. But if a warning (Call Trace) appears, the monitor will report an error, and the reboot will think something went wrong and power cycle the box, even though we successfully made it to the next kernel. Ignore warnings during the reboot until we get to the next kernel. It will still timeout if we never get to the next kernel and then a power cycle will happen. That's what we want it to do.

2013-02-05ktest: Search for linux banner for successful rebootSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
Sometimes when a test kernel passed fine, but on reboot it crashed, ktest could get stuck and not proceed. This would be frustrating if you let a test run overnight to find out the next morning that it was stuck on the first test. To fix this, I made reboot check for the REBOOT_SUCCESS_LINE. If the line was not detected, then it would power cycle the box. What it didn't cover was if the REBOOT_SUCCESS_LINE wasn't defined or if a 'good' kernel did not display the line. Instead have it search for the Linux banner "Linux version". The reboot just needs to get to the start of the next kernel, it does not need to test if the next kernel makes it to a boot prompt. After we find the next kernel has booted, then we just wait for either the REBOOT_SUCCESS_LINE to appear or the timeout. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2013-01-31ktest: Add make_warnings_file and process full warningsSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
Although the patchcheck test checks for warnings in the files that were changed, this check does not catch warnings that were caused by header file changes and the warnings appear in C files not touched by the commit. Add a new option called WARNINGS_FILE. If this option is set, then the file it points to is read before bulid, and the file should contain a list of known warnings. If a warning appears in the build, this file is checked, and if the warning does not exist in this file, then it fails the build showing the new warning. If the WARNINGS_FILE points to a file that does not exist, this will cause any warning in the build to fail. A new test is also added called "make_warnings_file". This test will create do a build and record any warnings it finds into the WARNINGS_FILE. This test is something that can be run before other tests to build a warnings file of "known warnings", ie, warnings that were there before your changes.

2013-01-31ktest: Allow a test option to use its default optionSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
Options are allowed to use other options, for example: LOG_FILE = ${OUTPUT_DIR}/${MACHINE}.log where the option LOG_FILE used the options OUTPUT_DIR and MACHINE. But if a test option were to use a default option, it will not get substituted: OUTPUT_DIR = ${THIS_DIR}/${MACHINE} TEST_START OUTPUT_DIR = ${OUTPUT_DIR}/t1 For the above test, OUTPUT_DIR will stay literally "${OUTPUT_DIR}/t1" and not be converted to "${THIS_DIR}/${MACHINE}/t1". When the test runs, it will pass the ${OUTPUT_DIR} to the shell, which would probaly interpret it as "", and the output directory will end up as "/t1". Change the code where if a test option has its own option name in its defined field, and a default option exists, then substitute the default option in its place.

2013-01-30ktest: Strip off '\n' when reading which files were modifiedSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
The patchcheck test looks at what files are modified for each patch it checks and makes sure that those files do not produce any warnings. Unfortunately, when it read the diffstat, the newlines were added on the files and this made compares miss warnings, and commits that should not have passed, ktest let pass. Fix this by using the perl command "chomp" that strips off whitespace at the end of lines. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2013-01-30ktest: Do not require CONSOLE for build or install bisectsSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
If the user is doing a build or install bisect, there's no reason to have them define CONSOLE, as the console does not need to be read. The console only needs to be read for boot tests. CONSOLE is not required for normal build or install tests, let's not require it for bisect tests with BISECT_TYPE of build or install. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

2012-12-11ktest: Test if target machine is up before installSteven Rostedt
Sometimes a test kernel will crash or hang on reboot (this is even more apparent when testing a config without CGROUPS on a box running systemd). When this happens, on the next iteration of installing a kernel, ktest will fail when it tries to install. Have ktest do a check to see if the target can be connected to via ssh before it tries to install. If it can't connect, then reboot again. This time the reboot will fail because it can't connect and will force a power cycle. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2012-12-11ktest: Fix breakage from change of oldnoconfig to olddefconfigSteven Rostedt
Commit fb16d891 "kconfig: replace 'oldnoconfig' with 'olddefconfig', and keep the old name", changed ktest's default config update from oldnoconfig to olddefconfig without adding oldnoconfig as a backup. The make oldnoconfig works much better than its backup of: yes '' | make oldconfig But due to this change, and the fact that ktest is used to build lots of older kernels (and for bisects), it forgoes the oldnoconfig completely.

2012-12-11ktest: Add native support for syslinux boot loaderSteven Rostedt
I installed Fedora 17 which no longer supports grub v1. I worked with grub2 for a while, but there's so many issues with it and automated rebooting, that I decided to switch to syslinux. Instead of using the REBOOT_SCRIPT and add customized changes to get syslinux booted, I thought it better to make ktest aware of syslinux and add options to simplify the use of syslinux on a target test box.

2012-12-11ktest: Sync before rebootSteven Rostedt

2012-11-13ktest: Add support for grub2Steven Rostedt
As only grub or 'script' is supported for rebooting to a new kernel, and Fedora 17 has dropped support for grub, I decided to add grub2 support as well (I also plan on adding syslinux/extlinux support too). The options GRUB_FILE and GRUB_REBOOT were added to allow the user to specify where to find the grub.cfg and what tool to use to reboot into the next kernel respectively.

2012-11-09revert "epoll: support for disabling items, and a self-test app"Andrew Morton
Revert commit 03a7beb55b9f ("epoll: support for disabling items, and a self-test app") pending resolution of the issues identified by Michael Kerrisk, copied below. We'll revisit this for 3.8. : I've taken a look at this patch as it currently stands in 3.7-rc1, and : done a bit of testing. (By the way, the test program : tools/testing/selftests/epoll/test_epoll.c does not compile...) : : There are one or two places where the behavior seems a little strange, : so I have a question or two at the end of this mail. But other than : that, I want to check my understanding so that the interface can be : correctly documented. : : Just to go though my understanding, the problem is the following : scenario in a multithreaded application: : : 1. Multiple threads are performing epoll_wait() operations, : and maintaining a user-space cache that contains information : corresponding to each file descriptor being monitored by : epoll_wait(). : : 2. At some point, a thread wants to delete (EPOLL_CTL_DEL) : a file descriptor from the epoll interest list, and : delete the corresponding record from the user-space cache. : : 3. The problem with (2) is that some other thread may have : previously done an epoll_wait() that retrieved information : about the fd in question, and may be in the middle of using : information in the cache that relates to that fd. Thus, : there is a potential race. : : 4. The race can't solved purely in user space, because doing : so would require applying a mutex across the epoll_wait() : call, which would of course blow thread concurrency. : : Right? : : Your solution is the EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE operation. I want to : confirm my understanding about how to use this flag, since : the description that has accompanied the patches so far : has been a bit sparse : : 0. In the scenario you're concerned about, deleting a file : descriptor means (safely) doing the following: : (a) Deleting the file descriptor from the epoll interest list : using EPOLL_CTL_DEL : (b) Deleting the corresponding record in the user-space cache : : 1. It's only meaningful to use this EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE in : conjunction with EPOLLONESHOT. : : 2. Using EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE without using EPOLLONESHOT in : conjunction is a logical error. : : 3. The correct way to code multithreaded applications using : EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE and EPOLLONESHOT is as follows: : : a. All EPOLL_CTL_ADD and EPOLL_CTL_MOD operations should : should EPOLLONESHOT. : : b. When a thread wants to delete a file descriptor, it : should do the following: : : [1] Call epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) : [2] If the return status from epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) : was zero, then the file descriptor can be safely : deleted by the thread that made this call. : [3] If the epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) fails with EBUSY, : then the descriptor is in use. In this case, the calling : thread should set a flag in the user-space cache to : indicate that the thread that is using the descriptor : should perform the deletion operation. : : Is all of the above correct? : : The implementation depends on checking on whether : (events & ~EP_PRIVATE_BITS) == 0 : This replies on the fact that EPOLL_CTL_AD and EPOLL_CTL_MOD always : set EPOLLHUP and EPOLLERR in the 'events' mask, and EPOLLONESHOT : causes those flags (as well as all others in ~EP_PRIVATE_BITS) to be : cleared. : : A corollary to the previous paragraph is that using EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE : is only useful in conjunction with EPOLLONESHOT. However, as things : stand, one can use EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE on a file descriptor that does : not have EPOLLONESHOT set in 'events' This results in the following : (slightly surprising) behavior: : : (a) The first call to epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) returns 0 : (the indicator that the file descriptor can be safely deleted). : (b) The next call to epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) fails with EBUSY. : : This doesn't seem particularly useful, and in fact is probably an : indication that the user made a logic error: they should only be using : epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) on a file descriptor for which : EPOLLONESHOT was set in 'events'. If that is correct, then would it : not make sense to return an error to user space for this case? Cc: Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@gmail.com> Cc: "Paton J.

2012-10-26ktest: Fix ktest confusion with CONFIG_MODULES_USE_ELF_RELASteven Rostedt
In order to decide if ktest should bother installing modules on the target box, it checks if the config file has CONFIG_MODULES=y. But it also checks if the '=y' part exists. It only will install modules if the config exists and is set with '=y'. But as the regex that was used tests: /^CONFIG_MODULES(=y)?/ this will also match: CONFIG_MODULES_USE_ELF_RELA as the '=y' part was optional and it did not test the rest of the line. When this happens, ktest will stop checking the rest of the configs but it will also think that no modules are needed to be installed. What it should do is only jump out of the loop if it actually found a CONFIG_MODULES that is set to true. Otherwise, ktest wont install the necessary modules needed for proper booting of the test target. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

So, this patch replaces 'oldnoconfig' with 'olddefconfig', stop making people confused, and keep the old name 'oldnoconfig' as an alias, because people already are dependent on its behavior with the counter-intuitive name.

2012-09-26ktest: Fix ELSE IF statementsSteven Rostedt
The ELSE IF statements do not work as expected if another ELSE statement follows. This is because the $if_set is not set. If the ELSE IF condition is true, the following ELSE should be ignored. But because the $if_set is not set, the following ELSE will also be executed. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

2012-07-31fault-injection: fix failcmd.sh warningAkinobu Mita
"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.

2012-07-30fault-injection: add tool to run command with failslab or fail_page_allocAkinobu Mita
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 Signed-off-by: Akinobu Mita <akinobu.mita@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2012-07-30ktest: Allow perl regex expressions in conditional statementsSteven Rostedt

2012-07-30ktest: Ignore errors it tests if IGNORE_ERRORS is setSteven Rostedt
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. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2012-07-20ktest: Reset saved min (force) configs for each testSteven Rostedt
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. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2012-07-19ktest: Add check for bug or panic during rebootSteven Rostedt
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. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2012-07-19ktest: Add MAX_MONITOR_WAIT optionSteven Rostedt
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. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2012-07-19ktest: Fix config bisect with how make oldnoconfig worksSteven Rostedt
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. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2012-07-19ktest: Add CONFIG_BISECT_CHECK optionSteven Rostedt
The config-bisect can take a bad config and bisect it down to find out what config actually breaks the config. But as all tests will apply a minconfig (defined by a user) to apply before booting, it is possible that the minconfig could actually make the bad config work (minconfigs can disable configs). The end result is that the config bisect test will not find a config that breaks. This can be rather frustrating to the user. The CONFIG_BISECT_CHECK option, when set to 1, will make sure that the bad config (with the minconfig applied) still fails before trying to bisect. And yes, I did get burned by this.
