ktest: Test if target machine is up before install

2012-12-12T02:19:41Z

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. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

ktest: Fix breakage from change of oldnoconfig to olddefconfig

2012-12-12T01:23:22Z

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.

ktest: Add native support for syslinux boot loader

2012-12-11T23:18:46Z

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.

ktest: Sync before reboot

2012-12-11T19:59:05Z

Before rebooting the target, run the sync command, as it seems that either Grub2 or systemd gets screwed up if you update to reboot a kernel once and do a reboot without doing a sync. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

ktest: Add support for grub2

2012-11-13T19:30:37Z

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: Fix ktest confusion with CONFIG_MODULES_USE_ELF_RELA

2012-10-26T04:10:32Z

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. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

Merge branch 'kconfig' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mmarek/kbuild

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.

kconfig: replace 'oldnoconfig' with 'olddefconfig', and keep the old name as an alias

2012-09-27T16:18:07Z

As 67d34a6a391369269a2e5dba8a5f42cc4cd50231 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.

ktest: Fix ELSE IF statements

2012-09-26T18:48:17Z

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. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

ktest: Allow perl regex expressions in conditional statements

2012-07-30T18:37:01Z

Add '=~' and '!~' to the list of allowed conditionals for DEFAULT and TEST_START section if statements. ie. TEST_START IF TEST =~ .*test$ Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt
