Different tests may use a different machine. In such cases, we need to
try to get the current grub menu index. If the same grub menu is used
for two different machines, it may not be at the same index on the
second machine. A search for the index must be performed again.

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.

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.

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.

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

have passed, ktest let pass.
Fix this by using the perl command "chomp" that strips off whitespace at
the end of lines.

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.

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.

I installed Fedora 17 which no longer supports grub v1. I worked

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.
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.

Add a MIN_CONFIG_TYPE that can be set to 'test' or 'boot'. The default

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.

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.

The option REBOOT_ON_SUCCESS is global, and will have the machine reboot

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

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.

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.

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.
