* ktest.pl: Add MAIL_COMMAND option to define how to send emailSteven Rostedt (VMware)2018-04-071-0/+12
| | | | | | | Allow the user to override the default way to send email. This will allow the user to add their own mailer and format for sending email. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>
* ktest.pl: Add MAIL_PATH option to define where to find the mailerSteven Rostedt (VMware)2018-04-071-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The option MAIL_PATH lets the user decide how to find the mailer they are using. For example, sendmail is usually located in /usr/sbin but is not always in the path of non admin users. Have ktest look through the user's PATH environment variable (adding /usr/sbin) as well, but if that's not good enough, allow the user to define where to find the mailer.

* ktest.pl: Make finding config-bisect.pl dynamicSteven Rostedt (VMware)2018-04-061-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Just looking for config-bisect.pl in the source tree can be risky, especially, if the source tree being tested doesn't have config-bisect.pl in place. Instead, allow the user to set where to find config-bisect.pl with a new option CONFIG_BISECT_EXEC. If this option is not set, by default, ktest.pl will look for config-bisect.pl in the following locations: `pwd`/config-bisect.pl # where ktest.pl was called from `dirname /path/to/ktest.pl`/config-bisect.pl # where ktest.pl exists ${BUILD_DIR}/tools/testing/ktest/config-bisect.pl # where config-bisect.pl exists in the source tree.

| | | | | | | | | | | Simply telling a new user to edit "the config file" without giving any hints on where that file should go, what it should be named, or where a template can be found, is not particularly helpful.

* ktest: Add CONNECT_TIMEOUT to change the connection timeout timeSteven Rostedt (VMware)2018-03-211-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Before ktest issues a reboot, it will try to connect to the target machine to make sure that it is still alive. If the target does not respond within 5 seconds, it will power cycle the box instead of issuing a reboot. Five seconds may be too short, and ktest may unnecessarially power cycle the box. I have found 25 seconds seems to be a better timeout for this purpose. But even 25 may be too arbitrary. Add a CONNECT_TIMEOUT option to let the user determine the timeout time before rebooting. By default, it has been raised to 25 seconds. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>

* ktest: Add BISECT_TRIES to bisect testSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)2014-01-181-0/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* ktest: Add make_warnings_file and process full warningsSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)2013-01-311-0/+44
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* ktest: Add native support for syslinux boot loaderSteven Rostedt2012-12-111-1/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* ktest: Add CONFIG_BISECT_CHECK optionSteven Rostedt2012-07-191-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the file that OUTPUT_MIN_CONFIG exists then ktest.pl will prompt the user and ask them if the OUTPUT_MIN_CONFIG should be used as the starting point for make_min_config instead of MIN_CONFIG. This is usually the case, and to allow the user to do so, which is helpful if the user is creating different min configs based on tests, and they know one is a superset of another test, they can set USE_OUTPUT_MIN_CONFIG to one, which will prevent kest.pl from prompting to use the OUTPUT_MIN_CONFIG and it will just use it. If USE_OUTPUT_MIN_CONIFG is set to zero, then ktest.pl will continue to use MIN_CONFIG instead. The default is that USE_OUTPUT_MIN_CONFIG is undefined.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a MIN_CONFIG_TYPE that can be set to 'test' or 'boot'. The default is 'boot' which is what make_min_config has done previously: makes a config file that is the minimum needed to boot the target. But when MIN_CONFIG_TYPE is set to 'test', not only must the target boot, but it must also successfully run the TEST. This allows the creation of a config file that is the minimum to boot and also perform ssh to the target, or anything else a developer wants. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It becomes quite annoying when you go to run a test and then realize that you typed an option name wrong, and the test starts doing the default action and not what you expected it to do. It is even more annoying when you wake up the next day after running the test over night when you discover this. By testing if all options specified in a config file are used by either ktest or were used in one of the option's values we can see if there are any dangling options that were not used. In such a case, show the user the options that were not used and ask them if they want to continue or not. The option IGNORE_UNUSED was also added to allow the user to override this feature.

Currently, if the test returns 0, it is considered a pass (good), a non-zero is considered a fail (bad). But it has been requested to add more options, and also change the meanings of the error codes of the test. For example, one may want the test to detect if the commit is not good or bad, (maybe the bisect came to a point where the code in question does not exist). The test could report an error code that should tell ktest to skip the commit. Also, a test could detect that something is horribly wrong and the biscet should just be aborted. The new options: BISECT_RET_GOOD BISECT_RET_BAD BISECT_RET_SKIP BISECT_RET_ABORT BISECT_RET_DEFAULT have been added. The first 4 take an integer value that will represent if the test should be considered a pass, fail, neither good nor bad, or abort respectively. The BISECT_RET_DEFAULT will bo whatever is not defined by the above codes. If only BISECT_RET_DEFAULT is defined, then all tests will do the default.

* ktest: Use Kconfig dependencies to shorten time to make min_configSteven Rostedt2011-07-151-0/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

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.

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.

* ktest: Allow options to be used by other optionsSteven Rostedt2011-05-201-0/+30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* ktest: Create variables for the ktest config filesSteven Rostedt2011-05-201-0/+59
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
