ktest: Ask for the manditory config options instead of just failing

2010-11-18T20:39:48Z

In keeping with the notion that all tools should be simple for all to use. I've changed ktest.pl to ask for mandatory options instead of just failing. It will append (or create) the options the user types in, onto the config file. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

ktest: Copy the last good and bad configs in config_bisect

2010-11-18T16:23:13Z

During the config_bisect, in case of failure, it is nice to have the last good and bad .configs that were used. This would let us restart the config_bisect from those configs. Copy the last good config into the output dir as config_good, and the last bad config as config_bad. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

ktest: For grub reboot, use run_ssh instead of run_command

2010-11-18T16:23:13Z

The run_ssh handles the ssh variable $SSH_COMMAND, which was not being used by the run_command in reboot_to function. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

ktest: Added force stop after success and failure

2010-11-18T16:23:12Z

Added the options STOP_AFTER_SUCCESS and STOP_AFTER_FAILURE to allow the user to give a time (in seconds) to stop the monitor after a stack trace or login has been detected. Sometimes the kernel constantly prints out to the console and this may cause the test to run indefinitely. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

ktest: Parse off the directory name in useconfig for failures

2010-11-18T16:23:12Z

When we store failures, we create a directory that has the build_type in it. For useconfig, it also contains the name path of the config file it uses. This unfortunately gets its own directory on failure. Parse off the directory name when creating the directory to store the failures. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

ktest: Use different temp config name for minconfig

2010-11-18T16:23:12Z

By using the "use_config" for minconfig and addconfig we risk trying to copy itself to itself, which will cause an unexpected failure. Use a different name instead. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

ktest: Updated the sample.conf for the latest options

2010-11-18T16:23:11Z

Added documentation for SSH_EXEC, SCP_TO_TARGET, REBOOT, and CONFIG_BISECT and friends. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

ktest: Added compare script to test ktest.pl to sample.conf

2010-11-18T16:23:11Z

Add a compare script that makes sure that all the options in sample.conf are used in ktest.pl, and all the options in ktest.pl are described in sample.conf. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

ktest: Added config_bisect test type

2010-11-18T16:23:11Z

Added the ability to do a config_bisect. It starts with a bad config and does the following loop. Enable half the configs. if none of the configs to check are not enabled (caused by missing dependencies) enable the other half. Run the test if the test passes, remove the configs from the check but enabled them for further tests (to satisfy dependencies). else Remove any config that was not enabled, as we have found a new config that can cause a failure. loop till we have only one config left.

ktest/cleanups: Added version 0.2, ssh as options

2010-11-18T16:23:11Z

Updated to version 0.2. Now have SSH_EXEC options. Also added some cleanups for keeping track of success and reading the config file. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt
