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.

Add a special variable that can be used in other variables called
${KERNEL_VERSION}. This will embed the current kernel version into
the variable. For example:
WARNINGS_FILE = ${OUTPUT_DIR}/warnings-${KERNEL_VERSION}
If the current version is v3.8 then the WARNINGS_FILE will become
${OUTPUT_DIR}/warnings-v3.8

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
signal to terminate the console. Since its default value is "INT",
the original behavior isn't changed.

To save connecting and searching for a given grub menu for each test,
ktest.pl will cache the grub number it found. The problem is that
different tests might use a different grub menu, but ktest.pl will
ignore it.
Instead, have ktest.pl check if the grub menu it used to cache the
content is the same as when it grabbed the menu. If not, grab it again,
otherwise just return the cached value.

Stricter validation was introduced with commit da27a24383
("efivarfs: guid part of filenames are case-insensitive") and commit
47f531e8ba ("efivarfs: Validate filenames much more aggressively"),
which is necessary for the guid portion of efivarfs filenames, but we
don't need to be so strict with the first part, the variable name. The
UEFI specification doesn't impose any constraints on variable names
other than they be a NULL-terminated string.
The above commits caused a regression that resulted in users seeing
the following message,
$ sudo mount -v /sys/firmware/efi/efivars mount: Cannot allocate memory
whenever pstore EFI variables were present in the variable store,
since their variable names failed to pass the following check,
/* GUID should be right after the first '-' */
if (s - 1 != strchr(str, '-'))
as a typical pstore filename is of the form, dump-type0-10-1-<guid>.
The fix is trivial since the guid portion of the filename is GUID_LEN
bytes, we can use (len - GUID_LEN) to ensure the '-' character is
where we expect it to be.
(The bogus ENOMEM error value will be fixed in a separate patch.)

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.

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
there before your changes.

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.

Sometimes a test kernel will crash or hang on reboot (this is even more

Have ktest do a check to see if the target can be connected to via ssh

Commit fb16d891 "kconfig: replace 'oldnoconfig' with 'olddefconfig', and

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.

Revert commit 03a7beb55b ("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?

I found that the modules for the network was not being installed.
This was due to the config CONFIG_MODULES_USE_ELF_RELA that came
before CONFIG_MODULES, and confused ktest in thinking that
CONFIG_MODULES=y was not found.
Ktest needs to test all configs and not just stop if something starts
with CONFIG_MODULES."

ktest: Fix ktest confusion with CONFIG_MODULES_USE_ELF_RELA
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.

Latest Linus head run of "make selftests" in the tools directory failed
with references to undefined variables. Reference was to
'write_thread_data' which is the name of a struct that is being used, not
the variable itself. Change reference so it points to the variable.

Pull kconfig changes from Michal Marek:
"kconfig in v3.7 is going to
- initialize ncurses only once in menuconfig
- be able to jump to a search result in menuconfig
- change the misnomer oldnoconfig to a more meaningful name
olddefconfig, keeping the old name as alias"
* 'kconfig' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mmarek/kbuild:
kconfig: replace 'oldnoconfig' with 'olddefconfig', and keep the old name as an alias
menuconfig: Assign jump keys per-page instead of globally
menuconfig: Do not open code textbox scroll up/down
menuconfig: Add jump keys to search results
menuconfig: Extend dialog_textbox so that it can return to a scrolled position
menuconfig: Extend dialog_textbox so that it can exit on arbitrary keypresses
menuconfig: Remove superfluous conditionnal
kconfig: document oldnoconfig to what it really does in conf.c
kconfig/mconf.c: revision of curses initialization.
Enhanced epoll_ctl to support EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE, which disables an epoll
item. If epoll_ctl doesn't return -EBUSY in this case, it is then safe to
delete the epoll item in a multi-threaded environment. Also added a new
test_epoll self- test app to both demonstrate the need for this feature
and test it.

As 67d34a6a39 said, 'oldnoconfig' doesn't
set new symbols to 'n', but instead sets it to their default values.
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.

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.

"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 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_<LEVEL> 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
