Commit 6071c22e17 "ktest: Rewrite the config-bisect to actually work"
fixed the config-bisect to work nicely but in doing so it broke
make_min_config by changing the way assign_configs works.
The assign_configs function now adds the config to the hash even if
it is disabled, but changes the hash value to be that of the
line "# CONFIG_FOO is not set". Unfortunately, the make_min_config
test only checks to see if the config is removed. It now needs to
check if the config is in the hash and not set to be disabled.

If git bisect reply is being used in the bisect tests, don't bother
doing the git bisect good or git bisect bad calls. The git bisect
reply will override them anyway, and that's called immediately
after the other two. Going the git bisect (good|bad) is just a
waste of time.

The reboot function when rebooting back to a good kernel has a check
to make sure that a new kernel was indeed booted. But that check
uses a timeout value, which when calling the monitor will still
return success if the timeout is hit (no bug was found). It should
return an error to let the reboot code know that a new kernel was
not reached. Only the reboot code checks the return value of the
monitor.

When doing a manual bisect, a build can fail or a test can be inconclusive.
In these cases it would be helpful to be able to skip the test entirely.

After the rewrite of the config bisect, there were several unused
functions that can be removed.
One of the unused functions printed out the failed config nicer than
what the rewrite did, so I kept that and used it to output the
bad config.
Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
The new rewrite left out the CONFIG_BISECT_CHECK, which allows the
user to test that their "bad" config still is bad and their "good"
config still is good. This is especially important as the configs
are passed through a "make oldconfig" to update them with the lastest
kernel. Things could change that causes a bad config to work, or a
good config to break. The check is done after the configs have run
through the oldconfig processing.

I never liked the way config-bisect worked. I would assume the bad config
had some config that broke the system. But it would not work if the bad
config just happened to be missing something that the good config had.
I rewrote the config-bisect to do this properly. It does a diff of the two
configs, and sets half of the configs that are in one and not the other.
The way it works is that when it "sets", it really just makes one copy
what the other has. That is, a "set" can be setting a:
# CONFIG_FOO is not set
Basically, it looks at the differences between the two files and makes
them similar until it comes down to one config that makes it work or
not work depending on if it is set or not.
Note, if more than one config change makes the bad config not work, it
will only find one of them. But this is true with all bisect logic.

Some cleanup for improving readability as follows.
- Initialize $ktest_config at its definition.
- Put parentheses around the `config-file' argument in the usage message
because it's a optional one.
- Rename get_ktest_config{,s} to more descriptive get_mandatory_config{,s}.

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.

With the added variable ${KERNEL_VERSION}, it is useful to be
able to use parts of it for other variables.
For example, if you want to create a warnings file for each major
kernel version to test sub versions against you can create
your warnings file with like this:
WARNINGS_FILE = warnings-file-${KERNEL_VERSION}
But this may add 3.8.12 or something, and we want all 3.8.* to
use the same file, and 3.10.* to use another file, and so on.
With the eval command we can, by adding:
WARNINGS_FILE =~ s/(-file-\d+\.\d+).*/$1/
Which will chop off the extra characters after the 3.8.

Currently ktest sends SIGINT to terminate the console.
However, there are consoles which do not exit by this signal, for example,
in my case, "virsh console <guest OS>". In such case, ktest is blocked in
close_console(). It prevents this automate test.
This patch adds new option CLOSE_CONSOLE_SIGNAL which mean the

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.

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

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".

its defined field, and a default option exists, then substitute the

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.

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.

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.

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.

The PRE_BUILD and POST_BUILD options of ktest are added to allow the
user to add temporary patch to the system and remove it on builds. This
is sometimes use to take a change from another git branch and add it to
a series without the fix so that this series can be tested, when an
unrelated bug exists in the series.
The problem comes when a tagged commit is being used. For example, if
v3.2 is being tested, and we add a patch to it, the kernelrelease for
that commit will be 3.2.0+, but without the patch the version will be
3.2.0. This can cause problems when the kernelrelease is determined for
creating the /lib/modules directory. The kernel booting has the '+' but
the module directory will not, and the modules will be missing for that
boot, and may not allow the kernel to succeed.
The fix is to put the creation of the kernelrelease in the POST_BUILD
logic, before it applies the POST_BUILD operation. The POST_BUILD is
where the patch may be removed, removing the '+' from the kernelrelease.
The calculation of the kernelrelease will also stay in its current
location but will be ignored if it was already calculated previously.

The change to let individual tests decide to reboot the machine on
success of the entire test also prevented errors from rebooting
when an error was detected.
The "no_reboot" variable was only cleared if the test had
reboot_on_success set. But the no_reboot variable also prevents the test
rebooting when an error was detected even when REBOOT_ON_ERROR was set.
Add a new "reboot_success" variable that is used to determine if the
test should reboot on success and not touch the no_reboot variable.

When BISECT_REVERSE and BISECT_SKIP are used together with boot or test
testing, build failures are treated as boot or test failures and
'git bisect bad' is executed instead of 'git bisect skip'. This is because
the $ret value of -1 is treated as a build failure, but the $reverse_bisect
logic does not properly handle this.
Simple fix, only invert it if it is positive.

ktest: Allow a test to override REBOOT_ON_SUCCESS
ktest: Fix SWITCH_TO_GOOD to also reboot the machine
ktest: Add SCP_TO_TARGET_INSTALL option
ktest: Add warning when bugs are ignored
ktest: Add INSTALL_MOD_STRIP=1 when installing modules
The option REBOOT_ON_SUCCESS is global, and will have the machine reboot
the the box if all tests are successful. But a test may not want the
machine to reboot, and perhaps have the kernel it loaded be used to
install the next kernel. Or the last test may set up a kernel that the
user may want to look at. In this case, the user could have the global
option REBOOT_ON_SUCCESS be true, but if a test is defined to run at the
end, that test can override the global option and keep the kernel it
installed for the user to log in with.

When the option SWITCH_TO_GOOD is set, it will be called when the system
needs to reboot to the good server. But currently, this keeps the reboot
from happening. The SWITCH_TO_GOOD is just a way to get to a new kernel,
it may not mean to not reboot.

Currently the option used to scp both the modules to the target as well
as the kernel image are the same (SCP_TO_TARGET). But some embedded
boards may require them to be different. The modules may need to be put
directly on the board, but the kernel image may need to go to a
tftpserver.
Add the option SCP_TO_TARGET_INSTALL that will allow the user to change
the config so that they may have the modules and image got to different
machines.

When IGNORE_ERRORS is set, ktest will not fail a test if a backtrace
is detected. But this can be an issue if the user added it in the
config but forgot to remove it. They may be left wondering why their
test did not fail, or even worse, why their bisect gave the wrong
commit.
Add a warning in the output if IGNORE_WARNINGS is set, and ktest detects
a kernel error.

ktest: Fix make_min_config test when build fails
The make_min_config does not take into account when the build fails,
resulting in a invalid MIN_CONFIG .config file. When the build fails,
it is ignored and the boot test is executed, using the previous built
kernel. The configs that should be tested are not tested and they may
be added or removed depending on the result of the last kernel that
succeeded to be built.
If the build fails, mark the current config as a failure and the
configs that were disabled may still be needed.

The REBOOT_TYPE may be either grub or script, if it is script
it is expected that a REBOOT_SCRIPT is defined.
With the SWITCH_TO_TEST which is the complement of SWITCH_TO_GOOD,
which does basically the same thing as REBOOT_SCRIPT and but for
both grub and script, the REBOOT_SCRIPT does not need to be mandatory
anymore.

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.

When running the ktest git bisect test, if the BISECT_TYPE is "test",
the bisect is determined to be good or bad based off of the error
code of the test that is run. 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.

On some tests that do multiple boots (patchcheck, bisect, etc), the build
of the next kernel to run may finish before the stable kernel has finished
booting. Then the install of the new kernel will fail when it tries to connect
as the machine has not finished the boot process.
Do one more monitor flush to make sure the machine is up and running before
trying to connect to it again.
