2 # Config file for ktest.pl
4 # Note, all paths must be absolute
7 # Options set in the beginning of the file are considered to be
8 # default options. These options can be overriden by test specific
9 # options, with the following exceptions:
16 # Test specific options are set after the label:
20 # The options after a TEST_START label are specific to that test.
21 # Each TEST_START label will set up a new test. If you want to
22 # perform a test more than once, you can add the ITERATE label
23 # to it followed by the number of times you want that test
24 # to iterate. If the ITERATE is left off, the test will only
27 # TEST_START ITERATE 10
29 # You can skip a test by adding SKIP (before or after the ITERATE
34 # TEST_START SKIP ITERATE 10
36 # TEST_START ITERATE 10 SKIP
38 # The SKIP label causes the options and the test itself to be ignored.
39 # This is useful to set up several different tests in one config file, and
40 # only enabling the ones you want to use for a current test run.
42 # You can add default options anywhere in the file as well
43 # with the DEFAULTS tag. This allows you to have default options
44 # after the test options to keep the test options at the top
45 # of the file. You can even place the DEFAULTS tag between
46 # test cases (but not in the middle of a single test case)
49 # MIN_CONFIG = /home/test/config-test1
52 # MIN_CONFIG = /home/test/config-default
54 # TEST_START ITERATE 10
56 # The above will run the first test with MIN_CONFIG set to
57 # /home/test/config-test-1. Then 10 tests will be executed
58 # with MIN_CONFIG with /home/test/config-default.
60 # You can also disable defaults with the SKIP option
63 # MIN_CONFIG = /home/test/config-use-sometimes
66 # MIN_CONFIG = /home/test/config-most-times
68 # The above will ignore the first MIN_CONFIG. If you want to
69 # use the first MIN_CONFIG, remove the SKIP from the first
70 # DEFAULTS tag and add it to the second. Be careful, options
71 # may only be declared once per test or default. If you have
72 # the same option name under the same test or as default
73 # ktest will fail to execute, and no tests will run.
77 #### Mandatory Default Options ####
79 # These options must be in the default section, although most
80 # may be overridden by test options.
82 # The machine hostname that you will test

108 # Here is an example to reboot a virtual box on the current host
109 # with the name "Guest".
110 #POWER_CYCLE = virsh destroy Guest; sleep 5; virsh start Guest
112 # The script or command that reads the console
114 # If you use ttywatch server, something like the following would work.
115 #CONSOLE = nc -d localhost 3001
117 # For a virtual machine with guest name "Guest".

124 # The grub title name for the test kernel to boot
125 # (Only mandatory if REBOOT_TYPE = grub)
127 # Note, ktest.pl will not update the grub menu.lst, you need to
128 # manually add an option for the test. ktest.pl will search
129 # the grub menu.lst for this option to find what kernel to
132 # For example, if in the /boot/grub/menu.lst the test kernel title has:
134 # kernel vmlinuz-test
135 #GRUB_MENU = Test Kernel
137 # A script to reboot the target into the test kernel
138 # (Only mandatory if REBOOT_TYPE = script)
141 #### Optional Config Options (all have defaults) ####
143 # Start a test setup. If you leave this off, all options
144 # will be default and the test will run once.
145 # This is a label and not really an option (it takes no value).
146 # You can append ITERATE and a number after it to iterate the
147 # test a number of times, or SKIP to ignore this test.
150 #TEST_START ITERATE 5
153 # Have the following options as default again. Used after tests
154 # have already been defined by TEST_START. Optionally, you can
155 # just define all default options before the first TEST_START
156 # and you do not need this option.

165 # The default test type (default test)
166 # The test types may be:
167 # build - only build the kernel, do nothing else
168 # boot - build and boot the kernel
169 # test - build, boot and if TEST is set, run the test script
170 # (If TEST is not set, it defaults back to boot)
171 # bisect - Perform a bisect on the kernel (see BISECT_TYPE below)
172 # patchcheck - Do a test on a series of commits in git (see PATCHCHECK below)
175 # Test to run if there is a successful boot and TEST_TYPE is test.
176 # Must exit with 0 on success and non zero on error
177 # default (undefined)
178 #TEST = ssh user@machine /root/run_test
180 # The build type is any make config type or special command
181 # (default randconfig)
182 # nobuild - skip the clean and build step
183 # useconfig:/path/to/config - use the given config and run
185 # This option is ignored if TEST_TYPE is patchcheck or bisect

194 #BUILD_OPTIONS = -j20
196 # If you need an initrd, you can add a script or code here to install
197 # it. The environment variable KERNEL_VERSION will be set to the
198 # kernel version that is used. Remember to add the initrd line
199 # to your grub menu.lst file.
201 # Here's a couple of examples to use:
202 #POST_INSTALL = ssh user@target /sbin/mkinitrd --allow-missing -f /boot/initramfs-test.img $KERNEL_VERSION
204 # or on some systems:
205 #POST_INSTALL = ssh user@target /sbin/dracut -f /boot/initramfs-test.img $KERNEL_VERSION
207 # Way to reboot the box to the test kernel.
208 # Only valid options so far are "grub" and "script"
210 # If you specify grub, it will assume grub version 1
211 # and will search in /boot/grub/menu.lst for the title $GRUB_MENU
212 # and select that target to reboot to the kernel. If this is not
213 # your setup, then specify "script" and have a command or script
214 # specified in REBOOT_SCRIPT to boot to the target.
216 # The entry in /boot/grub/menu.lst must be entered in manually.
217 # The test will not modify that file.
220 # The min config that is needed to build for the machine
221 # A nice way to create this is with the following:
225 # $ scp mymods host:/tmp
229 # $ make LSMOD=mymods localyesconfig
230 # $ grep '^CONFIG' .config > /home/test/config-min
232 # If you want even less configs:
234 # log in directly to target (do not ssh)
237 # # lsmod | cut -d' ' -f1 | xargs rmmod
239 # repeat the above several times
244 # May need to reboot to get your network back to copy the mymods
245 # to the host, and then remove the previous .config and run the
246 # localyesconfig again. The CONFIG_MIN generated like this will
247 # not guarantee network activity to the box so the TEST_TYPE of
250 # You might also want to set:

262 # SCSI_DEBUG may change your root partition
263 # # CONFIG_KGDB_SERIAL_CONSOLE is not set
264 # KGDB may cause oops waiting for a connection that's not there.
265 # This option points to the file containing config options that will be prepended
266 # to the MIN_CONFIG (or be the MIN_CONFIG if it is not set)
268 # Note, config options in MIN_CONFIG will override these options.

439 # If the BUILD_DIR is a git repository, then you can set this option
440 # to checkout the given branch before running the TEST. If you
441 # specify this for the first run, that branch will be used for
442 # all preceding tests until a new CHECKOUT is set.
446 # For TEST_TYPE = patchcheck
448 # This expects the BUILD_DIR to be a git repository, and
449 # will checkout the PATCHCHECK_START commit.
451 # The option BUILD_TYPE will be ignored.
453 # The MIN_CONFIG will be used for all builds of the patchcheck. The build type
454 # used for patchcheck is oldconfig.

457 # test (the SHA1 of the commit). You may also specify anything
458 # that git checkout allows (branch name, tage, HEAD~3).
460 # PATCHCHECK_END is the last patch to check (default HEAD)
462 # PATCHCHECK_TYPE is required and is the type of test to run:
465 # Note, the build test will look for warnings, if a warning occurred
466 # in a file that a commit touches, the build will fail.
468 # If BUILD_NOCLEAN is set, then make mrproper will not be run on
469 # any of the builds, just like all other TEST_TYPE tests. But
470 # what makes patchcheck different from the other tests, is if

492 # BISECT_TYPE is the type of test to perform:
493 # build - bad fails to build
494 # boot - bad builds but fails to boot
495 # test - bad boots but fails a test
497 # BISECT_GOOD is the commit (SHA1) to label as good (accepts all git good commit types)

500 # The above three options are required for a bisect operation.
502 # BISECT_REPLAY = /path/to/replay/file (optional, default undefined)
504 # If an operation failed in the bisect that was not expected to
505 # fail. Then the test ends. The state of the BUILD_DIR will be
506 # left off at where the failure occurred. You can examine the
507 # reason for the failure, and perhaps even find a git commit
508 # that would work to continue with. You can run:
510 # git bisect log > /path/to/replay/file
514 # BISECT_REPLAY= /path/to/replay/file
516 # And running the test again. The test will perform the initial
517 # git bisect start, git bisect good, and git bisect bad, and
518 # then it will run git bisect replay on this file, before
519 # continuing with the bisect.
521 # BISECT_START = commit (optional, default undefined)
523 # As with BISECT_REPLAY, if the test failed on a commit that
524 # just happen to have a bad commit in the middle of the bisect,
525 # and you need to skip it. If BISECT_START is defined, it
526 # will checkout that commit after doing the initial git bisect start,
527 # git bisect good, git bisect bad, and running the git bisect replay
528 # if the BISECT_REPLAY is set.
530 # BISECT_SKIP = 1 (optional, default 0)
532 # If BISECT_TYPE is set to test but the build fails, ktest will
533 # simply fail the test and end their. You could use BISECT_REPLAY
534 # and BISECT_START to resume after you found a new starting point,
535 # or you could set BISECT_SKIP to 1. If BISECT_SKIP is set to 1,
536 # when something other than the BISECT_TYPE fails, ktest.pl will
537 # run "git bisect skip" and try again.
539 # BISECT_FILES = <path> (optional, default undefined)
541 # To just run the git bisect on a specific path, set BISECT_FILES.
544 # BISECT_FILES = arch/x86 kernel/time

548 # BISECT_REVERSE = 1 (optional, default 0)
550 # In those strange instances where it was broken forever
551 # and you are trying to find where it started to work!
552 # Set BISECT_GOOD to the commit that was last known to fail
553 # Set BISECT_BAD to the commit that is known to start working.
554 # With BISECT_REVERSE = 1, The test will consider failures as
555 # good, and success as bad.
557 # BISECT_MANUAL = 1 (optional, default 0)
559 # In case there's a problem with automating the bisect for
560 # whatever reason. (Can't reboot, want to inspect each iteration)
561 # Doing a BISECT_MANUAL will have the test wait for you to
562 # tell it if the test passed or failed after each iteration.
563 # This is basicall the same as running git bisect yourself
564 # but ktest will rebuild and install the kernel for you.
566 # BISECT_CHECK = 1 (optional, default 0)
568 # Just to be sure the good is good and bad is bad, setting
569 # BISECT_CHECK to 1 will start the bisect by first checking
570 # out BISECT_BAD and makes sure it fails, then it will check
571 # out BISECT_GOOD and makes sure it succeeds before starting
572 # the bisect (it works for BISECT_REVERSE too).
574 # You can limit the test to just check BISECT_GOOD or
575 # BISECT_BAD with BISECT_CHECK = good or
576 # BISECT_CHECK = bad, respectively.

590 # In those cases that you have two different configs. One of them
591 # work, the other does not, and you do not know what config causes
593 # The TEST_TYPE config_bisect will bisect the bad config looking for
594 # what config causes the failure.
596 # The way it works is this:
598 # First it finds a config to work with. Since a different version, or
599 # MIN_CONFIG may cause different dependecies, it must run through this
602 # Overwrites any config set in the bad config with a config set in
603 # either the MIN_CONFIG or ADD_CONFIG. Thus, make sure these configs
604 # are minimal and do not disable configs you want to test:
605 # (ie. # CONFIG_FOO is not set).
607 # An oldconfig is run on the bad config and any new config that
608 # appears will be added to the configs to test.
610 # Finally, it generates a config with the above result and runs it
611 # again through make oldconfig to produce a config that should be
612 # satisfied by kconfig.
614 # Then it starts the bisect.
616 # The configs to test are cut in half. If all the configs in this
617 # half depend on a config in the other half, then the other half
618 # is tested instead. If no configs are enabled by either half, then
619 # this means a circular dependency exists and the test fails.
621 # A config is created with the test half, and the bisect test is run.
623 # If the bisect succeeds, then all configs in the generated config
624 # are removed from the configs to test and added to the configs that
625 # will be enabled for all builds (they will be enabled, but not be part
626 # of the configs to examine).
628 # If the bisect fails, then all test configs that were not enabled by
629 # the config file are removed from the test. These configs will not
630 # be enabled in future tests. Since current config failed, we consider
631 # this to be a subset of the config that we started with.
633 # When we are down to one config, it is considered the bad config.
635 # Note, the config chosen may not be the true bad config. Due to
636 # dependencies and selections of the kbuild system, mulitple
637 # configs may be needed to cause a failure. If you disable the
638 # config that was found and restart the test, if the test fails
639 # again, it is recommended to rerun the config_bisect with a new
640 # bad config without the found config enabled.
642 # The option BUILD_TYPE will be ignored.
644 # CONFIG_BISECT_TYPE is the type of test to perform:
