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 # Options defined in the DEFAULTS section can not be duplicated
78 # even if they are defined in two different DEFAULT sections.
79 # This is done to catch mistakes where an option is added but
80 # the previous option was forgotten about and not commented.
82 # The OVERRIDE keyword can be added to a section to allow this
83 # section to override other DEFAULT sections values that have
84 # been defined previously. It will only override options that
85 # have been defined before its use. Options defined later
86 # in a non override section will still error. The same option
87 # can not be defined in the same section even if that section
92 # Both TEST_START and DEFAULTS sections can also have the IF keyword
93 # The value after the IF must evaluate into a 0 or non 0 positive
94 # integer, and can use the config variables (explained below).
96 # DEFAULTS IF ${IS_X86_32}
98 # The above will process the DEFAULTS section if the config
99 # variable IS_X86_32 evaluates to a non zero positive integer
100 # otherwise if it evaluates to zero, it will act the same
101 # as if the SKIP keyword was used.
103 # The ELSE keyword can be used directly after a section with
106 # TEST_START IF ${RUN_NET_TESTS}
107 # BUILD_TYPE = useconfig:${CONFIG_DIR}/config-network
111 # BUILD_TYPE = useconfig:${CONFIG_DIR}/config-normal
114 # The ELSE keyword can also contain an IF statement to allow multiple
115 # if then else sections. But all the sections must be either
116 # DEFAULT or TEST_START, they can not be a mixture.
118 # TEST_START IF ${RUN_NET_TESTS}
119 # BUILD_TYPE = useconfig:${CONFIG_DIR}/config-network
121 # ELSE IF ${RUN_DISK_TESTS}
122 # BUILD_TYPE = useconfig:${CONFIG_DIR}/config-tests
124 # ELSE IF ${RUN_CPU_TESTS}
125 # BUILD_TYPE = useconfig:${CONFIG_DIR}/config-cpu
128 # BUILD_TYPE = useconfig:${CONFIG_DIR}/config-network
130 # The if statement may also have comparisons that will and for
131 # == and !=, strings may be used for both sides.
135 # DEFAULTS IF ${BOX_TYPE} == x86_32
136 # BUILD_TYPE = useconfig:${CONFIG_DIR}/config-32
138 # BUILD_TYPE = useconfig:${CONFIG_DIR}/config-64
140 # The DEFINED keyword can be used by the IF statements too.
141 # It returns true if the given config variable or option has been defined
142 # or false otherwise.
145 # DEFAULTS IF DEFINED USE_CC
151 # As well as NOT DEFINED.
153 # DEFAULTS IF NOT DEFINED MAKE_CMD
154 # MAKE_CMD := make ARCH=x86
157 # And/or ops (&&,||) may also be used to make complex conditionals.
159 # TEST_START IF (DEFINED ALL_TESTS || ${MYTEST} == boottest) && ${MACHINE} == gandalf
161 # Notice the use of paranthesis. Without any paranthesis the above would be
162 # processed the same as:
164 # TEST_START IF DEFINED ALL_TESTS || (${MYTEST} == boottest && ${MACHINE} == gandalf)
170 # The INCLUDE keyword may be used in DEFAULT sections. This will
171 # read another config file and process that file as well. The included
172 # file can include other files, add new test cases or default
173 # statements. Config variables will be passed to these files and changes
174 # to config variables will be seen by top level config files. Including
175 # a file is processed just like the contents of the file was cut and pasted
176 # into the top level file, except, that include files that end with
177 # TEST_START sections will have that section ended at the end of
178 # the include file. That is, an included file is included followed
179 # by another DEFAULT keyword.
181 # Unlike other files referenced in this config, the file path does not need
182 # to be absolute. If the file does not start with '/', then the directory
183 # that the current config file was located in is used. If no config by the
184 # given name is found there, then the current directory is searched.
193 # Note, if the include file does not contain a full path, the file is
194 # searched first by the location of the original include file, and then
195 # by the location that ktest.pl was executed in.
198 #### Config variables ####
200 # This config file can also contain "config variables".
201 # These are assigned with ":=" instead of the ktest option
204 # The difference between ktest options and config variables
205 # is that config variables can be used multiple times,
206 # where each instance will override the previous instance.
207 # And that they only live at time of processing this config.
209 # The advantage to config variables are that they can be used
210 # by any option or any other config variables to define thing
211 # that you may use over and over again in the options.
217 # TEST_CASE := ssh ${USER}@${TARGET} /path/to/my/test
220 # MIN_CONFIG = config1
221 # TEST = ${TEST_CASE}
224 # MIN_CONFIG = config2
225 # TEST = ${TEST_CASE}
227 # TEST_CASE := ssh ${USER}@${TARGET} /path/to/my/test2
230 # MIN_CONFIG = config1
231 # TEST = ${TEST_CASE}
234 # MIN_CONFIG = config2
235 # TEST = ${TEST_CASE}
237 # TEST_DIR := /home/me/test
239 # BUILD_DIR = ${TEST_DIR}/linux.git
240 # OUTPUT_DIR = ${TEST_DIR}/test
242 # Note, the config variables are evaluated immediately, thus
243 # updating TARGET after TEST_CASE has been assigned does nothing
246 # As shown in the example, to evaluate a config variable, you
247 # use the ${X} convention. Simple $X will not work.
249 # If the config variable does not exist, the ${X} will not
250 # be evaluated. Thus:
252 # MAKE_CMD = PATH=/mypath:${PATH} make
254 # If PATH is not a config variable, then the ${PATH} in
255 # the MAKE_CMD option will be evaluated by the shell when
256 # the MAKE_CMD option is passed into shell processing.
258 #### Using options in other options ####
260 # Options that are defined in the config file may also be used
261 # by other options. All options are evaulated at time of
262 # use (except that config variables are evaluated at config
265 # If an ktest option is used within another option, instead of
266 # typing it again in that option you can simply use the option
267 # just like you can config variables.
271 # TEST = ssh root@${MACHINE} /path/to/test
273 # The option will be used per test case. Thus:
276 # TEST = ssh root@{MACHINE}
284 # For both test cases, MACHINE will be evaluated at the time
285 # of the test case. The first test will run ssh root@box1
286 # and the second will run ssh root@box2.
288 #### Mandatory Default Options ####
290 # These options must be in the default section, although most
291 # may be overridden by test options.
293 # The machine hostname that you will test
296 # The box is expected to have ssh on normal bootup, provide the user
297 # (most likely root, since you need privileged operations)
300 # The directory that contains the Linux source code
301 #BUILD_DIR = /home/test/linux.git
303 # The directory that the objects will be built
304 # (can not be same as BUILD_DIR)
305 #OUTPUT_DIR = /home/test/build/target
307 # The location of the compiled file to copy to the target
308 # (relative to OUTPUT_DIR)
309 #BUILD_TARGET = arch/x86/boot/bzImage
311 # The place to put your image on the test machine
312 #TARGET_IMAGE = /boot/vmlinuz-test
314 # A script or command to reboot the box
316 # Here is a digital loggers power switch example
317 #POWER_CYCLE = wget --no-proxy -O /dev/null -q --auth-no-challenge 'http://admin:admin@power/outlet?5=CCL'
319 # Here is an example to reboot a virtual box on the current host
320 # with the name "Guest".
321 #POWER_CYCLE = virsh destroy Guest; sleep 5; virsh start Guest
323 # The script or command that reads the console
325 # If you use ttywatch server, something like the following would work.
326 #CONSOLE = nc -d localhost 3001
328 # For a virtual machine with guest name "Guest".
329 #CONSOLE = virsh console Guest
331 # Required version ending to differentiate the test
332 # from other linux builds on the system.
333 #LOCALVERSION = -test
335 # The grub title name for the test kernel to boot
336 # (Only mandatory if REBOOT_TYPE = grub)
338 # Note, ktest.pl will not update the grub menu.lst, you need to
339 # manually add an option for the test. ktest.pl will search
340 # the grub menu.lst for this option to find what kernel to
343 # For example, if in the /boot/grub/menu.lst the test kernel title has:
345 # kernel vmlinuz-test
346 #GRUB_MENU = Test Kernel
348 # A script to reboot the target into the test kernel
349 # This and SWITCH_TO_TEST are about the same, except
350 # SWITCH_TO_TEST is run even for REBOOT_TYPE = grub.
351 # This may be left undefined.
352 # (default undefined)
355 #### Optional Config Options (all have defaults) ####
357 # Start a test setup. If you leave this off, all options
358 # will be default and the test will run once.
359 # This is a label and not really an option (it takes no value).
360 # You can append ITERATE and a number after it to iterate the
361 # test a number of times, or SKIP to ignore this test.
364 #TEST_START ITERATE 5
367 # Have the following options as default again. Used after tests
368 # have already been defined by TEST_START. Optionally, you can
369 # just define all default options before the first TEST_START
370 # and you do not need this option.
372 # This is a label and not really an option (it takes no value).
373 # You can append SKIP to this label and the options within this
374 # section will be ignored.
379 # The default test type (default test)
380 # The test types may be:
381 # build - only build the kernel, do nothing else
382 # install - build and install, but do nothing else (does not reboot)
383 # boot - build, install, and boot the kernel
384 # test - build, boot and if TEST is set, run the test script
385 # (If TEST is not set, it defaults back to boot)
386 # bisect - Perform a bisect on the kernel (see BISECT_TYPE below)
387 # patchcheck - Do a test on a series of commits in git (see PATCHCHECK below)
390 # Test to run if there is a successful boot and TEST_TYPE is test.
391 # Must exit with 0 on success and non zero on error
392 # default (undefined)
393 #TEST = ssh user@machine /root/run_test
395 # The build type is any make config type or special command
396 # (default randconfig)
397 # nobuild - skip the clean and build step
398 # useconfig:/path/to/config - use the given config and run
400 # This option is ignored if TEST_TYPE is patchcheck or bisect
401 #BUILD_TYPE = randconfig
403 # The make command (default make)
404 # If you are building a 32bit x86 on a 64 bit host
405 #MAKE_CMD = CC=i386-gcc AS=i386-as make ARCH=i386
407 # Any build options for the make of the kernel (not for other makes, like configs)
409 #BUILD_OPTIONS = -j20
411 # If you need an initrd, you can add a script or code here to install
412 # it. The environment variable KERNEL_VERSION will be set to the
413 # kernel version that is used. Remember to add the initrd line
414 # to your grub menu.lst file.
416 # Here's a couple of examples to use:
417 #POST_INSTALL = ssh user@target /sbin/mkinitrd --allow-missing -f /boot/initramfs-test.img $KERNEL_VERSION
419 # or on some systems:
420 #POST_INSTALL = ssh user@target /sbin/dracut -f /boot/initramfs-test.img $KERNEL_VERSION
422 # If for some reason you just want to boot the kernel and you do not
423 # want the test to install anything new. For example, you may just want
424 # to boot test the same kernel over and over and do not want to go through
425 # the hassle of installing anything, you can set this option to 1
429 # If there is a script that you require to run before the build is done
430 # you can specify it with PRE_BUILD.
432 # One example may be if you must add a temporary patch to the build to
433 # fix a unrelated bug to perform a patchcheck test. This will apply the
434 # patch before each build that is made. Use the POST_BUILD to do a git reset --hard
435 # to remove the patch.
438 #PRE_BUILD = cd ${BUILD_DIR} && patch -p1 < /tmp/temp.patch
440 # To specify if the test should fail if the PRE_BUILD fails,
441 # PRE_BUILD_DIE needs to be set to 1. Otherwise the PRE_BUILD
446 # If there is a script that should run after the build is done
447 # you can specify it with POST_BUILD.
449 # As the example in PRE_BUILD, POST_BUILD can be used to reset modifications
450 # made by the PRE_BUILD.
453 #POST_BUILD = cd ${BUILD_DIR} && git reset --hard

456 # POST_BUILD_DIE needs to be set to 1. Otherwise the POST_BUILD
461 # Way to reboot the box to the test kernel.
462 # Only valid options so far are "grub" and "script"
464 # If you specify grub, it will assume grub version 1
465 # and will search in /boot/grub/menu.lst for the title $GRUB_MENU
466 # and select that target to reboot to the kernel. If this is not
467 # your setup, then specify "script" and have a command or script
468 # specified in REBOOT_SCRIPT to boot to the target.
470 # The entry in /boot/grub/menu.lst must be entered in manually.
471 # The test will not modify that file.
474 # If you are using a machine that doesn't boot with grub, and
475 # perhaps gets its kernel from a remote server (tftp), then
476 # you can use this option to update the target image with the
479 # You could also do the same with POST_INSTALL, but the difference
480 # between that option and this option is that POST_INSTALL runs
481 # after the install, where this one runs just before a reboot.
482 # (default undefined)
483 #SWITCH_TO_TEST = cp ${OUTPUT_DIR}/${BUILD_TARGET} ${TARGET_IMAGE}
485 # If you are using a machine that doesn't boot with grub, and
486 # perhaps gets its kernel from a remote server (tftp), then
487 # you can use this option to update the target image with the
488 # the known good image to reboot safely back into.
490 # This option holds a command that will execute before needing
491 # to reboot to a good known image.

495 # The min config that is needed to build for the machine

728 # To disable this (because it did a false positive) set the following
731 #DETECT_TRIPLE_FAULT = 0
733 # All options in the config file should be either used by ktest
734 # or could be used within a value of another option. If an option
735 # in the config file is not used, ktest will warn about it and ask
736 # if you want to continue.
738 # If you don't care if there are non-used options, enable this
739 # option. Be careful though, a non-used option is usually a sign
740 # of an option name being typed incorrectly.
744 # When testing a kernel that happens to have WARNINGs, and call
745 # traces, ktest.pl will detect these and fail a boot or test run
746 # due to warnings. By setting this option, ktest will ignore
747 # call traces, and will not fail a test if the kernel produces
748 # an oops. Use this option with care.
752 #### Per test run options ####
753 # The following options are only allowed in TEST_START sections.
754 # They are ignored in the DEFAULTS sections.
756 # All of these are optional and undefined by default, although
757 # some of these options are required for TEST_TYPE of patchcheck
763 # If the BUILD_DIR is a git repository, then you can set this option
764 # to checkout the given branch before running the TEST. If you
765 # specify this for the first run, that branch will be used for
766 # all preceding tests until a new CHECKOUT is set.
771 # If you want the test to have a name that is displayed in
772 # the test result banner at the end of the test, then use this
773 # option. This is useful to search for the RESULT keyword and
774 # not have to translate a test number to a test in the config.
776 # For TEST_TYPE = patchcheck
778 # This expects the BUILD_DIR to be a git repository, and
779 # will checkout the PATCHCHECK_START commit.
781 # The option BUILD_TYPE will be ignored.
783 # The MIN_CONFIG will be used for all builds of the patchcheck. The build type
784 # used for patchcheck is oldconfig.
786 # PATCHCHECK_START is required and is the first patch to
787 # test (the SHA1 of the commit). You may also specify anything
788 # that git checkout allows (branch name, tage, HEAD~3).
790 # PATCHCHECK_END is the last patch to check (default HEAD)
792 # PATCHCHECK_TYPE is required and is the type of test to run:
795 # Note, the build test will look for warnings, if a warning occurred
796 # in a file that a commit touches, the build will fail, unless
797 # IGNORE_WARNINGS is set for the given commit's sha1
799 # IGNORE_WARNINGS can be used to disable the failure of patchcheck
800 # on a particuler commit (SHA1). You can add more than one commit
801 # by adding a list of SHA1s that are space delimited.
803 # If BUILD_NOCLEAN is set, then make mrproper will not be run on
804 # any of the builds, just like all other TEST_TYPE tests. But
805 # what makes patchcheck different from the other tests, is if
806 # BUILD_NOCLEAN is not set, only the first and last patch run
807 # make mrproper. This helps speed up the test.

820 # For TEST_TYPE = bisect
822 # You can specify a git bisect if the BUILD_DIR is a git repository.
823 # The MIN_CONFIG will be used for all builds of the bisect. The build type
824 # used for bisecting is oldconfig.
826 # The option BUILD_TYPE will be ignored.
828 # BISECT_TYPE is the type of test to perform:
829 # build - bad fails to build
830 # boot - bad builds but fails to boot
831 # test - bad boots but fails a test
833 # BISECT_GOOD is the commit (SHA1) to label as good (accepts all git good commit types)
834 # BISECT_BAD is the commit to label as bad (accepts all git bad commit types)
836 # The above three options are required for a bisect operation.
838 # BISECT_REPLAY = /path/to/replay/file (optional, default undefined)
840 # If an operation failed in the bisect that was not expected to
841 # fail. Then the test ends. The state of the BUILD_DIR will be
842 # left off at where the failure occurred. You can examine the
843 # reason for the failure, and perhaps even find a git commit
844 # that would work to continue with. You can run:
846 # git bisect log > /path/to/replay/file
850 # BISECT_REPLAY= /path/to/replay/file
852 # And running the test again. The test will perform the initial
853 # git bisect start, git bisect good, and git bisect bad, and
854 # then it will run git bisect replay on this file, before
855 # continuing with the bisect.
857 # BISECT_START = commit (optional, default undefined)
859 # As with BISECT_REPLAY, if the test failed on a commit that
860 # just happen to have a bad commit in the middle of the bisect,
861 # and you need to skip it. If BISECT_START is defined, it
862 # will checkout that commit after doing the initial git bisect start,
863 # git bisect good, git bisect bad, and running the git bisect replay
864 # if the BISECT_REPLAY is set.
866 # BISECT_SKIP = 1 (optional, default 0)
868 # If BISECT_TYPE is set to test but the build fails, ktest will
869 # simply fail the test and end their. You could use BISECT_REPLAY
870 # and BISECT_START to resume after you found a new starting point,
871 # or you could set BISECT_SKIP to 1. If BISECT_SKIP is set to 1,
872 # when something other than the BISECT_TYPE fails, ktest.pl will
873 # run "git bisect skip" and try again.
875 # BISECT_FILES = <path> (optional, default undefined)
877 # To just run the git bisect on a specific path, set BISECT_FILES.
880 # BISECT_FILES = arch/x86 kernel/time
882 # Will run the bisect with "git bisect start -- arch/x86 kernel/time"
884 # BISECT_REVERSE = 1 (optional, default 0)
886 # In those strange instances where it was broken forever
887 # and you are trying to find where it started to work!
888 # Set BISECT_GOOD to the commit that was last known to fail
889 # Set BISECT_BAD to the commit that is known to start working.
890 # With BISECT_REVERSE = 1, The test will consider failures as
891 # good, and success as bad.
893 # BISECT_MANUAL = 1 (optional, default 0)
895 # In case there's a problem with automating the bisect for
896 # whatever reason. (Can't reboot, want to inspect each iteration)
897 # Doing a BISECT_MANUAL will have the test wait for you to
898 # tell it if the test passed or failed after each iteration.
899 # This is basicall the same as running git bisect yourself
900 # but ktest will rebuild and install the kernel for you.
902 # BISECT_CHECK = 1 (optional, default 0)
904 # Just to be sure the good is good and bad is bad, setting
905 # BISECT_CHECK to 1 will start the bisect by first checking
906 # out BISECT_BAD and makes sure it fails, then it will check
907 # out BISECT_GOOD and makes sure it succeeds before starting
908 # the bisect (it works for BISECT_REVERSE too).
910 # You can limit the test to just check BISECT_GOOD or
911 # BISECT_BAD with BISECT_CHECK = good or
912 # BISECT_CHECK = bad, respectively.
914 # BISECT_RET_GOOD = 0 (optional, default undefined)
916 # In case the specificed test returns something other than just
917 # 0 for good, and non-zero for bad, you can override 0 being
918 # good by defining BISECT_RET_GOOD.
920 # BISECT_RET_BAD = 1 (optional, default undefined)
922 # In case the specificed test returns something other than just
923 # 0 for good, and non-zero for bad, you can override non-zero being
924 # bad by defining BISECT_RET_BAD.
926 # BISECT_RET_ABORT = 255 (optional, default undefined)
928 # If you need to abort the bisect if the test discovers something
929 # that was wrong, you can define BISECT_RET_ABORT to be the error
930 # code returned by the test in order to abort the bisect.
932 # BISECT_RET_SKIP = 2 (optional, default undefined)
934 # If the test detects that the current commit is neither good
935 # nor bad, but something else happened (another bug detected)
936 # you can specify BISECT_RET_SKIP to an error code that the
937 # test returns when it should skip the current commit.
939 # BISECT_RET_DEFAULT = good (optional, default undefined)
941 # You can override the default of what to do when the above
942 # options are not hit. This may be one of, "good", "bad",
943 # "abort" or "skip" (without the quotes).
945 # Note, if you do not define any of the previous BISECT_RET_*
946 # and define BISECT_RET_DEFAULT, all bisects results will do
947 # what the BISECT_RET_DEFAULT has.

956 # MIN_CONFIG = /home/test/config-bisect
960 # For TEST_TYPE = config_bisect
962 # In those cases that you have two different configs. One of them
963 # work, the other does not, and you do not know what config causes
965 # The TEST_TYPE config_bisect will bisect the bad config looking for
966 # what config causes the failure.
968 # The way it works is this:
970 # First it finds a config to work with. Since a different version, or
971 # MIN_CONFIG may cause different dependecies, it must run through this
974 # Overwrites any config set in the bad config with a config set in
975 # either the MIN_CONFIG or ADD_CONFIG. Thus, make sure these configs
976 # are minimal and do not disable configs you want to test:
977 # (ie. # CONFIG_FOO is not set).
979 # An oldconfig is run on the bad config and any new config that
980 # appears will be added to the configs to test.
982 # Finally, it generates a config with the above result and runs it
983 # again through make oldconfig to produce a config that should be
984 # satisfied by kconfig.
986 # Then it starts the bisect.
988 # The configs to test are cut in half. If all the configs in this
989 # half depend on a config in the other half, then the other half
990 # is tested instead. If no configs are enabled by either half, then
991 # this means a circular dependency exists and the test fails.
993 # A config is created with the test half, and the bisect test is run.
995 # If the bisect succeeds, then all configs in the generated config
996 # are removed from the configs to test and added to the configs that
997 # will be enabled for all builds (they will be enabled, but not be part
998 # of the configs to examine).
1000 # If the bisect fails, then all test configs that were not enabled by
1001 # the config file are removed from the test. These configs will not
1002 # be enabled in future tests. Since current config failed, we consider
1003 # this to be a subset of the config that we started with.
1005 # When we are down to one config, it is considered the bad config.
1007 # Note, the config chosen may not be the true bad config. Due to
1008 # dependencies and selections of the kbuild system, mulitple
1009 # configs may be needed to cause a failure. If you disable the
1010 # config that was found and restart the test, if the test fails
1011 # again, it is recommended to rerun the config_bisect with a new
1012 # bad config without the found config enabled.
1014 # The option BUILD_TYPE will be ignored.
1016 # CONFIG_BISECT_TYPE is the type of test to perform:
1017 # build - bad fails to build

1019 # test - bad boots but fails a test
1021 # CONFIG_BISECT is the config that failed to boot

1027 # the test succeeded or not and continue the config bisect.
1029 # CONFIG_BISECT_GOOD (optional)
1030 # If you have a good config to start with, then you
1031 # can specify it with CONFIG_BISECT_GOOD. Otherwise

1046 # After doing a make localyesconfig, your kernel configuration may
1047 # not be the most useful minimum configuration. Having a true minimum
1048 # config that you can use against other configs is very useful if
1049 # someone else has a config that breaks on your code. By only forcing
1050 # those configurations that are truly required to boot your machine
1051 # will give you less of a chance that one of your set configurations
1052 # will make the bug go away. This will give you a better chance to
1053 # be able to reproduce the reported bug matching the broken config.
1055 # Note, this does take some time, and may require you to run the
1056 # test over night, or perhaps over the weekend. But it also allows
1057 # you to interrupt it, and gives you the current minimum config
1058 # that was found till that time.
1060 # Note, this test automatically assumes a BUILD_TYPE of oldconfig
1061 # and its test type acts like boot.
1062 # TODO: add a test version that makes the config do more than just
1063 # boot, like having network access.
1065 # To save time, the test does not just grab any option and test
1066 # it. The Kconfig files are examined to determine the dependencies
1067 # of the configs. If a config is chosen that depends on another
1068 # config, that config will be checked first. By checking the
1069 # parents first, we can eliminate whole groups of configs that
1070 # may have been enabled.
1072 # For example, if a USB device config is chosen and depends on CONFIG_USB,
1073 # the CONFIG_USB will be tested before the device. If CONFIG_USB is
1074 # found not to be needed, it, as well as all configs that depend on
1075 # it, will be disabled and removed from the current min_config.

1080 # This file does not need to exist on start of test.
1081 # This file is not created until a config is found that can be removed.

1083 # as the min_config (overriding MIN_CONFIG) if START_MIN_CONFIG
1087 # START_MIN_CONFIG is the config to use to start the test with.
