dad9875492 ktest: Allow bisect test to restart where it left off
If a bisect is killed for some reason, have ktest detect that a bisect

0e7a22de25 ktest: When creating new config, allow the use of ${THIS_DIR}
Typing in a full path when you know that the path exists within
the directory your are running is tedious and unnecessary.

Allow the user to use ${PWD} if they want a dynamic path name
which will be the path that ktest.pl is executed from
or use ${THIS_DIR} which is a variable assigned `pwd` and
the the variable will exist within the config, allowing the user
to change it and affect all other paths using this variable as well

600bbf0aa2 ktest: Add default for ssh-user, build-target and target-image
When a user runs ktest without an argument, or the argument given
is not a config file that exists, ktest will ask the user a few
questions to create a simple ktest config file.

A few of the questions should have a default value set, that if anything
it will make it easier for the user to know what is suppose to
be in that value.

These new values are:

  SSH_USER, BUILD_TARGET and TARGET_IMAGE

f9dfb65b05 ktest: Check parent options for iterated tests
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
for a repeated test.

250bae8be0 ktest: Fix bug when ADD_CONFIG is set but MIN_CONFIG is not
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.

43d1b6518e ktest: Keep fonud configs separate from default configs
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.

b9066f6c0e ktest: Use Kconfig dependencies to shorten time to make min_config
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.

4c4ab1204f ktest: Add test type make_min_config
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.

      boot, like having network access.

ecaf8e5213 ktest: Have wait on stdio honor bug timeout
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.

f1a5b96219 ktest: Add detection of triple faults
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.

2a62512bce ktest: Allow options to be used by other options
There are cases where one ktest option may be used within another
ktest option. Allow them to be reused just like config variables
but there are evaluated at time of test not config processing time.

Thus having something like:

MAKE_CMD = make ARCH=${ARCH}

TEST_START
ARCH = powerpc

TEST_START
ARCH = arm

Will have the arch defined for each test iteration.

77d942ceac ktest: Create variables for the ktest config files
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.

2d01b26a1b ktest: Add STOP_TEST_AFTER to stop the test after a period of time
Currently, if a test causes constant output but never reaches a
boot prompt, or crashes, the test will never stop. Add STOP_TEST_AFTER
to create a variable that will stop (and fail) the test after it has run
for this amount of time. The default is 10 minutes. Setting this
variable to -1 will disable it.

4651920e0a ktest: Fix bug where the test would not end after failure
The config STOP_AFTER_FAILURE is the number of seconds to continue
the test when a failure is detected. This lets the monitor record
more data to the logs and console that may be helpful in solving
the bug that was found.

But the test had a bug. If the failure caused multiple
"Call Trace" stack dumps, the start time to compare the
STOP_AFTER_FAILURE would constantly be reset. Only update the start
time at the first "Call Trace" instance.

612b9e9bd3 ktest: Handle kernels before make oldnoconfig
When bisecting, one may come across a kernel that does not have
make oldnoconfig. In this case, we need to run the command "yes"
into a make oldconfig. This will select defaults instead of 'n'
into each command, but it works as a work around.

Note, "yes n" will not work because a config may have a value that
"n" is not acceptable for.

Change the config to use TEST_START where the options after a

is the same as

The benefit is that you no longer need to keep track of test numbers
with tests.

Also process the commit ids that are passed to the options
to get the actually SHA1 so it is no longer relative to the branch.
Ie, saying HEAD will get the current SHA1 and then that will
be used, and will work even if another branch is checked out.
