2 # Config file for ktest.pl
4 # Place your customized version of this, in the working directory that
5 # ktest.pl is run from. By default, ktest.pl will look for a file
6 # called "ktest.conf", but you can name it anything you like and specify
7 # the name of your config file as the first argument of ktest.pl.
9 # Note, all paths must be absolute
12 # Options set in the beginning of the file are considered to be
13 # default options. These options can be overridden by test specific
14 # options, with the following exceptions:
21 # Test specific options are set after the label:
25 # The options after a TEST_START label are specific to that test.
26 # Each TEST_START label will set up a new test. If you want to
27 # perform a test more than once, you can add the ITERATE label
28 # to it followed by the number of times you want that test
29 # to iterate. If the ITERATE is left off, the test will only
32 # TEST_START ITERATE 10
34 # You can skip a test by adding SKIP (before or after the ITERATE
39 # TEST_START SKIP ITERATE 10
41 # TEST_START ITERATE 10 SKIP
43 # The SKIP label causes the options and the test itself to be ignored.
44 # This is useful to set up several different tests in one config file, and
45 # only enabling the ones you want to use for a current test run.
47 # You can add default options anywhere in the file as well
48 # with the DEFAULTS tag. This allows you to have default options
49 # after the test options to keep the test options at the top
50 # of the file. You can even place the DEFAULTS tag between
51 # test cases (but not in the middle of a single test case)
54 # MIN_CONFIG = /home/test/config-test1
57 # MIN_CONFIG = /home/test/config-default
59 # TEST_START ITERATE 10
61 # The above will run the first test with MIN_CONFIG set to
62 # /home/test/config-test-1. Then 10 tests will be executed
63 # with MIN_CONFIG with /home/test/config-default.
65 # You can also disable defaults with the SKIP option
68 # MIN_CONFIG = /home/test/config-use-sometimes
71 # MIN_CONFIG = /home/test/config-most-times
73 # The above will ignore the first MIN_CONFIG. If you want to
74 # use the first MIN_CONFIG, remove the SKIP from the first
75 # DEFAULTS tag and add it to the second. Be careful, options
76 # may only be declared once per test or default. If you have
77 # the same option name under the same test or as default
78 # ktest will fail to execute, and no tests will run.
82 # Options defined in the DEFAULTS section can not be duplicated
83 # even if they are defined in two different DEFAULT sections.
84 # This is done to catch mistakes where an option is added but
85 # the previous option was forgotten about and not commented.
87 # The OVERRIDE keyword can be added to a section to allow this
88 # section to override other DEFAULT sections values that have
89 # been defined previously. It will only override options that
90 # have been defined before its use. Options defined later
91 # in a non override section will still error. The same option
92 # can not be defined in the same section even if that section
97 # Both TEST_START and DEFAULTS sections can also have the IF keyword
98 # The value after the IF must evaluate into a 0 or non 0 positive
99 # integer, and can use the config variables (explained below).
101 # DEFAULTS IF ${IS_X86_32}
103 # The above will process the DEFAULTS section if the config
104 # variable IS_X86_32 evaluates to a non zero positive integer
105 # otherwise if it evaluates to zero, it will act the same
106 # as if the SKIP keyword was used.
108 # The ELSE keyword can be used directly after a section with
111 # TEST_START IF ${RUN_NET_TESTS}
112 # BUILD_TYPE = useconfig:${CONFIG_DIR}/config-network
116 # BUILD_TYPE = useconfig:${CONFIG_DIR}/config-normal
119 # The ELSE keyword can also contain an IF statement to allow multiple
120 # if then else sections. But all the sections must be either
121 # DEFAULT or TEST_START, they can not be a mixture.
123 # TEST_START IF ${RUN_NET_TESTS}
124 # BUILD_TYPE = useconfig:${CONFIG_DIR}/config-network
126 # ELSE IF ${RUN_DISK_TESTS}
127 # BUILD_TYPE = useconfig:${CONFIG_DIR}/config-tests
129 # ELSE IF ${RUN_CPU_TESTS}
130 # BUILD_TYPE = useconfig:${CONFIG_DIR}/config-cpu
133 # BUILD_TYPE = useconfig:${CONFIG_DIR}/config-network
135 # The if statement may also have comparisons that will and for
136 # == and !=, strings may be used for both sides.
140 # DEFAULTS IF ${BOX_TYPE} == x86_32
141 # BUILD_TYPE = useconfig:${CONFIG_DIR}/config-32
143 # BUILD_TYPE = useconfig:${CONFIG_DIR}/config-64
145 # The DEFINED keyword can be used by the IF statements too.
146 # It returns true if the given config variable or option has been defined
147 # or false otherwise.
150 # DEFAULTS IF DEFINED USE_CC
156 # As well as NOT DEFINED.
158 # DEFAULTS IF NOT DEFINED MAKE_CMD
159 # MAKE_CMD := make ARCH=x86
162 # And/or ops (&&,||) may also be used to make complex conditionals.
164 # TEST_START IF (DEFINED ALL_TESTS || ${MYTEST} == boottest) && ${MACHINE} == gandalf
166 # Notice the use of parentheses. Without any parentheses the above would be
167 # processed the same as:
169 # TEST_START IF DEFINED ALL_TESTS || (${MYTEST} == boottest && ${MACHINE} == gandalf)
175 # The INCLUDE keyword may be used in DEFAULT sections. This will
176 # read another config file and process that file as well. The included
177 # file can include other files, add new test cases or default
178 # statements. Config variables will be passed to these files and changes
179 # to config variables will be seen by top level config files. Including
180 # a file is processed just like the contents of the file was cut and pasted
181 # into the top level file, except, that include files that end with
182 # TEST_START sections will have that section ended at the end of
183 # the include file. That is, an included file is included followed
184 # by another DEFAULT keyword.
186 # Unlike other files referenced in this config, the file path does not need
187 # to be absolute. If the file does not start with '/', then the directory
188 # that the current config file was located in is used. If no config by the
189 # given name is found there, then the current directory is searched.
198 # Note, if the include file does not contain a full path, the file is
199 # searched first by the location of the original include file, and then
200 # by the location that ktest.pl was executed in.
203 #### Config variables ####
205 # This config file can also contain "config variables".
206 # These are assigned with ":=" instead of the ktest option
209 # The difference between ktest options and config variables
210 # is that config variables can be used multiple times,
211 # where each instance will override the previous instance.
212 # And that they only live at time of processing this config.
214 # The advantage to config variables are that they can be used
215 # by any option or any other config variables to define thing
216 # that you may use over and over again in the options.
222 # TEST_CASE := ssh ${USER}@${TARGET} /path/to/my/test
225 # MIN_CONFIG = config1
226 # TEST = ${TEST_CASE}
229 # MIN_CONFIG = config2
230 # TEST = ${TEST_CASE}
232 # TEST_CASE := ssh ${USER}@${TARGET} /path/to/my/test2
235 # MIN_CONFIG = config1
236 # TEST = ${TEST_CASE}
239 # MIN_CONFIG = config2
240 # TEST = ${TEST_CASE}
242 # TEST_DIR := /home/me/test
244 # BUILD_DIR = ${TEST_DIR}/linux.git
245 # OUTPUT_DIR = ${TEST_DIR}/test
247 # Note, the config variables are evaluated immediately, thus
248 # updating TARGET after TEST_CASE has been assigned does nothing
251 # As shown in the example, to evaluate a config variable, you
252 # use the ${X} convention. Simple $X will not work.
254 # If the config variable does not exist, the ${X} will not
255 # be evaluated. Thus:
257 # MAKE_CMD = PATH=/mypath:${PATH} make
259 # If PATH is not a config variable, then the ${PATH} in
260 # the MAKE_CMD option will be evaluated by the shell when
261 # the MAKE_CMD option is passed into shell processing.
263 #### Using options in other options ####
265 # Options that are defined in the config file may also be used
266 # by other options. All options are evaluated at time of
267 # use (except that config variables are evaluated at config
270 # If an ktest option is used within another option, instead of
271 # typing it again in that option you can simply use the option
272 # just like you can config variables.
276 # TEST = ssh root@${MACHINE} /path/to/test
278 # The option will be used per test case. Thus:
281 # TEST = ssh root@{MACHINE}
289 # For both test cases, MACHINE will be evaluated at the time
290 # of the test case. The first test will run ssh root@box1
291 # and the second will run ssh root@box2.
293 #### Mandatory Default Options ####
295 # These options must be in the default section, although most
296 # may be overridden by test options.
298 # The machine hostname that you will test
301 # The box is expected to have ssh on normal bootup, provide the user

362 # the grub menu.lst for this option to find what kernel to
365 # For example, if in the /boot/grub/menu.lst the test kernel title has:
367 # kernel vmlinuz-test
369 # For grub2, a search of top level "menuentry"s are done. No
370 # submenu is searched. The menu is found by searching for the

1055 # If an operation failed in the bisect that was not expected to
1056 # fail. Then the test ends. The state of the BUILD_DIR will be
1057 # left off at where the failure occurred. You can examine the
1058 # reason for the failure, and perhaps even find a git commit
1059 # that would work to continue with. You can run:
1061 # git bisect log > /path/to/replay/file
1065 # BISECT_REPLAY= /path/to/replay/file
1067 # And running the test again. The test will perform the initial

1075 # just happen to have a bad commit in the middle of the bisect,
1076 # and you need to skip it. If BISECT_START is defined, it
1077 # will checkout that commit after doing the initial git bisect start,
1078 # git bisect good, git bisect bad, and running the git bisect replay
1079 # if the BISECT_REPLAY is set.
1081 # BISECT_SKIP = 1 (optional, default 0)
1083 # If BISECT_TYPE is set to test but the build fails, ktest will
1084 # simply fail the test and end their. You could use BISECT_REPLAY
1085 # and BISECT_START to resume after you found a new starting point,
1086 # or you could set BISECT_SKIP to 1. If BISECT_SKIP is set to 1,

1110 # In case there's a problem with automating the bisect for
1111 # whatever reason. (Can't reboot, want to inspect each iteration)
1112 # Doing a BISECT_MANUAL will have the test wait for you to
1113 # tell it if the test passed or failed after each iteration.
1114 # This is basically the same as running git bisect yourself
1115 # but ktest will rebuild and install the kernel for you.
1117 # BISECT_CHECK = 1 (optional, default 0)
1119 # Just to be sure the good is good and bad is bad, setting
1120 # BISECT_CHECK to 1 will start the bisect by first checking
1121 # out BISECT_BAD and makes sure it fails, then it will check
1122 # out BISECT_GOOD and makes sure it succeeds before starting
1123 # the bisect (it works for BISECT_REVERSE too).

1129 # BISECT_TRIES = 5 (optional, default 1)
1131 # For those cases that it takes several tries to hit a bug,
1132 # the BISECT_TRIES is useful. It is the number of times the
1133 # test is ran before it says the kernel is good. The first failure
1134 # will stop trying and mark the current SHA1 as bad.
1136 # Note, as with all race bugs, there's no guarantee that if
1137 # it succeeds, it is really a good bisect. But it helps in case
1138 # the bug is some what reliable.

1200 # will use the MIN_CONFIG, and if that's not specified, it will use
1201 # the config that comes with "make defconfig".
1203 # It runs both the good and bad configs through a make oldconfig to
1204 # make sure that they are set up for the kernel that is checked out.
1206 # It then reads the configs that are set, as well as the ones that are
1207 # not set for both the good and bad configs, and then compares them.
1208 # It will set half of the good configs within the bad config (note,
1209 # "set" means to make the bad config match the good config, a config
1210 # in the good config that is off, will be turned off in the bad
1211 # config. That is considered a "set").
1213 # It tests this new config and if it works, it becomes the new good
1214 # config, otherwise it becomes the new bad config. It continues this
1215 # process until there's only one config left and it will report that
1218 # The "bad config" can also be a config that is needed to boot but was
1219 # disabled because it depended on something that wasn't set.
1221 # During this process, it saves the current good and bad configs in

1309 # it, will be disabled and removed from the current min_config.
1311 # OUTPUT_MIN_CONFIG is the path and filename of the file that will
1312 # be created from the MIN_CONFIG. If you interrupt the test, set
1313 # this file as your new min config, and use it to continue the test.
1314 # This file does not need to exist on start of test.
1315 # This file is not created until a config is found that can be removed.
1316 # If this file exists, you will be prompted if you want to use it
1317 # as the min_config (overriding MIN_CONFIG) if START_MIN_CONFIG
1321 # START_MIN_CONFIG is the config to use to start the test with.
1322 # you can set this as the same OUTPUT_MIN_CONFIG, but if you do
1323 # the OUTPUT_MIN_CONFIG file must exist.
1324 # (default MIN_CONFIG)
1326 # IGNORE_CONFIG is used to specify a config file that has configs that
1327 # you already know must be set. Configs are written here that have
1328 # been tested and proved to be required. It is best to define this
1329 # file if you intend on interrupting the test and running it where
1330 # it left off. New configs that it finds will be written to this file
1331 # and will not be tested again in later runs.
1334 # MIN_CONFIG_TYPE can be either 'boot' or 'test'. With 'boot' it will
1335 # test if the created config can just boot the machine. If this is
1336 # set to 'test', then the TEST option must be defined and the created
1337 # config will not only boot the target, but also make sure that the
1338 # config lets the test succeed. This is useful to make sure the final
1339 # config that is generated allows network activity (ssh).
1342 # USE_OUTPUT_MIN_CONFIG set this to 1 if you do not want to be prompted
1343 # about using the OUTPUT_MIN_CONFIG as the MIN_CONFIG as the starting
1344 # point. Set it to 0 if you want to always just use the given MIN_CONFIG.

1346 # to start with (MIN_CONFIG or OUTPUT_MIN_CONFIG).
