While demoing ktest at ELC in 2012, it was embarrassing that the
make_min_config test failed to work because the snowball board I was
testing it against had a config that would not build. But the
make_min_config only tested the testing part and ignored build failures.
The end result was a config file that would not boot.
This time, for real.

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.

When testing a kernel that has warnings, ktest.pl will fail the test
when it sees the warning. If you need to test the the kernel and want
to ignore the errors that are produced, the option IGNORE_ERRORS has
been added. When IGNORE_ERRORS is set to something other than 0, it will
ignore call traces due to WARN_ON().

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.
Do not require the REBOOT_SCRIPT and always run the reboot code
for both grub and script.

The compare script compare-ktest-sample.pl checks for options
that are defined in ktest.pl and not documented in samples.conf,
as well as samples in samples.conf that are not used in ktest.pl.

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.

Currently the patchcheck, bisect, and config_bisect variables
are only able to be set per test. You can not set a default
value for them.
By letting default values be set, it makes some config files
a bit easier, and also makes it easier to find typos in the
option names.

For machines that do no use grub, it may be needed to update an
external image (tftp) before doing a reboot into either the
test image or the known good image.
The option SWITCH_TO_GOOD is added, where if it is defined, the
command that is specified as its value will be executed before
doing a reboot into a known good image.

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.

When no argument is supplied to ktest, or the config applied does
not exist and a new config is being created, instead of just using
the default test type, give the user an option to pick the test type

but then those would require more questions as they require more

be in that value.

Let's say we have "OUTPUT_DIR = build/${TEST_NAME}", and we're iterating
a test. In the second iteration of a test, the TEST_NAME of the test
we're repeating is not used. Instead, ${TEST_NAME} appears literally:
touch /home/rabin/kernel/test/build/${TEST_NAME}/.config ... SUCCESS
Fix this by making __eval_option() check the parent test options

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.

When setting the next kernel to boot to with grub, do not opencode

to the reboot code also affect all reboots.

The make_min_config test will turn off one config at a time and check
if the config boots or not, and if it does, it will remove that config
plus any config that depended on that config.
ktest already looks if a config has a dependency and will try the
dependency config first. But by sorting the configs and trying the
config with the most configs dependent on it, we can shrink the
minconfig faster.

The MIN_CONFIG is a single config that is considered to have all the
configs that are required to boot the box.
ADD_CONFIG is a list of configs that we add that may contain configs
known to be broken (set off) or just configs that we want every box to
have and this can include shared configs.
If a config has no MIN_CONFIG defined, but has multiple files defined
for the ADD_CONFIG, the test will die, because the MIN_CONFIG will
default to ADD_CONFIG. The problem is the code to open MIN_CONFIG
expects a string of one file, not multiple, and the open will fail.
Since the real minconfig that is used is a concatination of MIN_CONFIG
and ADD_CONFIG files, we change the code to open that instead of
whatever MIN_CONFIG defaults to.

The IGNORE_CONFIG file holds the configs that we don't want to change
(with their proper settings). But on start up, the make noconfig is
executed, and the configs that are on are also put into the ignore
config category. But these are configs that were forced on by the
kconfig scripts and not something that we found must be enabled to boot
our machine. By keeping the configs that are forced on by default,
separate from the configs we found that are required to boot the box, we
can get a much more interesting IGNORE_CONFIG. In fact, the
IGNORE_CONFIG can usually end up being the must have configs to boot,
and only have 6 or 7 configs set.

If the defined OUTPUT_MIN_CONFIG in the make_min_config test exists,
then give a prompt to ask the user if they want to use that config
instead, as it is very often the case, especially when the test has been
interrupted. The OUTPUT_MIN_CONFIG is usually the config that one wants
to use to continue the test where they left off.
But if START_MIN_CONFIG is defined (thus the MIN_CONFIG is not the
default), then do not prompt, as it will be annoying if the user has
this as one of many tests, and the test pauses waiting for input, while
the user is sleeping.

To save time, the test does not just grab any option and test
it. The Kconfig files are examined to determine the dependencies
of the configs. If a config is chosen that depends on another
config, that config will be checked first. By checking the
parents first, we can eliminate whole groups of configs that
may have been enabled.
For example, if a USB device config is chosen and depends on
CONFIG_USB, the CONFIG_USB will be tested before the device.
If CONFIG_USB is found not to be needed, it, as well as all
configs that depend on it, will be disabled and removed from
the current min_config.
Note, the code from streamline_config (make localmodconfig)
was copied and used to find the dependencies in the Kconfig file.
