After doing a make localyesconfig, your kernel configuration may
not be the most useful minimum configuration. Having a true minimum
config that you can use against other configs is very useful if
someone else has a config that breaks on your code. By only forcing
those configurations that are truly required to boot your machine
will give you less of a chance that one of your set configurations
will make the bug go away. This will give you a better chance to
be able to reproduce the reported bug matching the broken config.
Note, this does take some time, and may require you to run the
test over night, or perhaps over the weekend. But it also allows
you to interrupt it, and gives you the current minimum config
that was found till that time.
Note, this test automatically assumes a BUILD_TYPE of oldconfig
and its test type acts like boot.
TODO: add a test version that makes the config do more than just
boot, like having network access.

There has been too many times that I put in one too many SKIP
TEST_STARTs and start the test with the default randconfig by accident
that I added this to have ktest ask the user for which test they want to
run if no TEST_START is specified.
Now if I accidently start the test with all TEST_STARTs skipped, ktest
asks what test do I want to run, and I now have a chance to kill it
before it does a make mrproper on my build directory.

Doing a patchcheck test, there may be warnings that gcc produces which
may be OK, and the test should not fail on that commit. By adding a
IGNORE_WARNINGS option to list a space delimited SHA1s that are ignored
lets the user avoid having the test fail on certain commits.

When a config is set with CONFIG_MODULES=n, it does not mean that the
kernel does not need an initrd to boot. For systems that depend on LVM
and such, an initrd must run first.
If POST_INSTALL is defined, then run the post install regardless if
modules are needed or not.

After a bug is found, the STOP_AFTER_FAILURE timeout is used to
determine how much output should be printed before breaking out
of the monitor loop. This is to get things like call traces and
enough infromation about the bug to help determine what caused it.
The STOP_AFTER_FAILURE is usually much shorter than the TIMEOUT
that is used to determine when to quit after no more stdio is given.
But since the stdio read uses a wait on I/O, the STOP_AFTER_FAILURE is
only checked after we get something from I/O. But if the I/O does
not return any more data, we wait the TIMEOUT period instead, even
though we already triggered a bug report.
The wait on I/O should honor the STOP_AFTER_FAILURE time if a bug has
been found.

Using the build KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG environment variable to force
the min config may not always work properly. Since ktest is
written in perl, it is trivial to read and replace the current
config with the configs specified by the min config.
Now the min config (and add configs) are read by perl and before
a make is done, these configs in the .config file are replaced
by the version in the min config.

Currently the config_bisect compares the min config with the
CONFIG_BISECT config. There may be another config that we know
is good that we want to ignore configs on. By passing in this
config it will ignore the options that are set in the good config.
Note: This only ignores the config, it does not (yet) handle
options that are different between the two configs. If the good
config has "SLAB" set and the bad config has "SLUB" it will not
find the bug if the bug had to do with changing these two options.
This is something that I intend to implement in the future.

When a triple fault happens in a test, no call trace nor panic
is displayed. Instead, the system reboots to the good kernel.
Since the good kernel may display a boot prompt that matches the
success string, ktest may think that the test succeeded, when it
did not.
Detecting triple faults is tricky because it is hard to generalize
what a reboot looks like. The best that we can come up with for now
is to examine the Linux banner. If we detect that the Linux banner
matches the test we want to test, then look to see if we hit another
Linux banner with a different kernel is booted. This can be assumed
to be a triple fault.
We can't just check for two Linux banners because things like
early printk may cause the Linux banner to be displayed twice. Checking
for different kernel versions should be the safe bet.
If this for some reason detects a false triple boot. A new ktest
config option is also created:
DETECT_TRIPLE_FAULT
This can be set to 0 to disable this checking.

perf_evsel__alloc_fd allocates an array of file descriptors with the
memory initialized to 0. The array has dimensions for cpus and threads.
Later, __perf_evsel__open calls sys_perf_event_open for each cpu and thread
dimensions. If the open fails for any of the cpus or threads then the fd's
for this event are closed and the fd entry in the array is set to -1. Now,
if the first attempt fails for the event (e.g., the event is not supported)
the remaining dimensions (cpu > 0 and thread > 0) are not touched and left
at the initialized value of 0.
builtin-stat catches ENOENT and ENOSYS failures and allows the command to
continue. The end result is that stat attempts to read from an fd of 0 which
of course is stdin and so the command hangs until you type ctrl-D.
Resolve by initializing the array to -1 since an fd < 0 is already
handled.

Perf uses /proc/modules to figure out where kernel modules are loaded.
With the advent of kptr_restrict, non root users get zeroes for all module
start addresses.
So check if kptr_restrict is non zero and don't generate the syntethic
PERF_RECORD_MMAP events for them.
Warn the user about it in perf record and in perf report.
In perf report the reference relocation symbol being zero means that
kptr_restrict was set, thus /proc/kallsyms has only zeroed addresses, so don't
use it to fixup symbol addresses when using a valid kallsyms (in the buildid
cache) or vmlinux (in the vmlinux path) build-id located automatically or
specified by the user.
Provide an explanation about it in 'perf report' if kernel samples were taken,
checking if a suitable vmlinux or kallsyms was found/specified.
Restricted /proc/kallsyms don't go to the buildid cache anymore.
Example:
[acme@emilia ~]$ perf record -F 100000 sleep 1
WARNING: Kernel address maps (/proc/{kallsyms,modules}) are restricted, check
/proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict.
Samples in kernel functions may not be resolved if a suitable vmlinux file is
not found in the buildid cache or in the vmlinux path.
Samples in kernel modules won't be resolved at all.
If some relocation was applied (e.g. kexec) symbols may be misresolved even
with a suitable vmlinux or kallsyms file.

Commit eac9eacee16 "perf tools: Check we are able to read the event
size on mmap" brought a check to ensure we can read the size of the
event before dereferencing it, and do a remap otherwise to move the
buffer forward.
However that remap was ommitting all the necessary work to
update the new page offset, head, and to unmap previous pages,
etc...
To fix this, gather all the code that fetches the event in a
seperate helper which does all the necessary checks about the
header/event size and tells us anytime a remap is needed.

uncovered several cases that had apparently relied on that rather
obscure header file dependency.
So this fixes things up a bit, using
grep -L linux/prefetch.h $(git grep -l '[^a-z_]prefetchw*(' -- '*.[ch]')
grep -L 'prefetchw*(' $(git grep -l 'linux/prefetch.h' -- '*.[ch]')
to guide us in finding files that either need <linux/prefetch.h>
inclusion, or have it despite not needing it.
There are more of them around (mostly network drivers), but this gets

but there are evaluated at time of test not config processing time.

I found that I constantly reuse information for each test case.
It would be nice to just define a variable to reuse.
For example I may have:
TEST_START
[...]
TEST = ssh root@mybox /path/to/my/script
TEST_START
[...]
TEST = ssh root@mybox /path/to/my/script
[etc]
The issue is, I may wont to change that script or one of the other
fields. Then I need to update each line individually.
With the addition of config variables (variables only used during parsing
the config) we can simplify the config files. These variables can
also be defined multiple times and each time the new value will
overwrite the old value.
The convention to use a config variable over a ktest option is to use :=
instead of =.
Now we could do:
USER := root
TARGET := mybox
TEST_SCRIPT := /path/to/my/script
TEST_CASE := ${USER}@${TARGET} ${TEST_SCRIPT}
TEST_START
[...]
TEST = ${TEST_CASE}
TEST_START
[...]
TEST = ${TEST_CASE}
[etc]
Now we just need to update the variables at the top.
