support/testing: allow to use a multiplier for timeouts

2017-08-10T08:08:06+00:00

Add a parameter to run-tests to act as a multiplier for all timeouts of emulator. It can be used to avoid sporadic failures on slow host machines as well in elastic runners on the cloud.

support/testing: add runtime testing for read-only systemd

2017-08-02T19:00:44+00:00

We add the 3 following combinations: - basic systemd, read-only, network w/ ifupdown - basic systemd, read-only, network w/ networkd - full systemd, read-only, network w/ networkd The tests just verify what the /sbin/init binary is, and that we were able to grab an IP address. More tests can be added later, for example to check each systemd features (journal, tmpfiles...) Signed-off-by: "Yann E.

support/testing: add runtime testing for init systems

2017-08-02T15:42:49+00:00

The "builtin" kernel does not boot a systemd-based system, so we resort to building the same one as currently used by our qemu_arm_vexpress_defconfig. We test the 8 following combinations: - busybox, read-only, without network - busybox, read-only, with network - busybox, read-write, without network - busybox, read-write, with network - basic systemd, read-write, network w/ ifupdown - basic systemd, read-write, network w/ networkd - full systemd, read-write, network w/ networkd - no init system, read-only, without network The tests just verify what the /sbin/init binary is, and that we were able to grab an IP address.

testing/infra/emulator: remove qemu warnings about audio

2017-07-31T19:26:06+00:00

The default audio backend for qemu is configured at compile time. It generates annoying warning messages to qemu's stderr when running our tests, like these: pulseaudio: set_sink_input_volume() failed pulseaudio: Reason: Invalid argument pulseaudio: set_sink_input_mute() failed pulseaudio: Reason: Invalid argument Explicitly set the audio backend to "none" at runtime to remove those messages from our logs. There is no command line argument for this, so use an environment variable when starting qemu. Signed-off-by: Ricardo Martincoski Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni

support/config-fragments/autobuild: fix ARM internal fragment

2017-07-29T13:41:57+00:00

The toolchain configuration used by the autobuilders to test the internal toolchain backend on ARM contains an option that no longer exists: BR2_UCLIBC_VERSION_NG. This option has been removed since uClibc-ng has been made the one and only uClibc version supported. Due to this option no longer existing, this toolchain configuration was in fact never used, because the randgenconfig script validates that a toolchain configuration is valid by checking that all lines are still present in the final .config. Therefore, this commit removes the bogus option, which will make sure this toolchain config gets used again by our autobuilders. Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni

toolchain-configs.csv: remove unused libc column

2017-07-25T21:05:41+00:00

This column is not used by either genrandconfig or test-pkg, so remove it. Signed-off-by: Arnout Vandecappelle (Essensium/Mind) Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni

support: add autobuild toolchain config fragments

2017-07-25T21:02:57+00:00

We currently have a list of toolchain configurations that are used by the autobuilders at [1]. However, this makes it a little more difficult for people to use these configurations, and also to have a different list of configurations for different branches. For example if a new architecture is introduced, the 2017.02.x branch doesn't have support for this architecture yet so it shouldn't try to run those configs. Therefore, include the autobuild config fragments directly in Buildroot, so they can be branched together with the rest. We create a new directory under support/ to store them. Generated with wget -nd --no-parent --recursive http://autobuild.buildroot.net/toolchains/configs/ The index.html file is removed. The toolchain-configs.csv file is adapted so the URLs become relative paths pointing to the config fragments.

support/testing: add test of BR2_CCACHE with an external toolchain

2017-07-24T16:35:15+00:00

We reuse TestExternalToolchainBuildrootuClibc and add ccache to its configuration. Signed-off-by: Arnout Vandecappelle (Essensium/Mind) Reviewed-by: Ricardo Martincoski Tested-by: Ricardo Martincoski Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni

testing/infra/basetest: move jlevel logic to constructor

2017-07-24T15:51:06+00:00

As suggested by Arnout in [1]. While at it, simplify the logic by always appending the BR2_JLEVEL and defaulting to 0 (the value copied from Config.in is used for 5 years now and is very unlikely to change).
