infinite loop while doing the make mrproper. Looking into the cause I noticed
that a recent update to the function run_command (used for running all
shell commands, including "make mrproper") changed the internal loop to
use the function wait_for_input. The wait_for_input uses select to look
at two file descriptors. One is the file descriptor of the command it is
running, the other is STDIN. The STDIN check was not checking the return
status of the sysread call, and was also just writing a lot of data into
syswrite without regard to the size of the data read.
Changing the code to check the return status of sysread, and also to still
process the passed in descriptor data without looping back to the select
fixed Greg's problem.
While looking at this code I also realized that the loop did not honor
the timeout if STDIN always had input (or for some reason return error).
this could prevent wait_for_input to timeout on the file descriptor it
is suppose to be waiting for. That is fixed too.

ktest: Make sure wait_for_input does honor the timeout
ktest: Fix while loop in wait_for_input
The function wait_for_input takes in a timeout, and even has a default
timeout. But if for some reason the STDIN descriptor keeps sending in data,
the function will never time out. The timout is to wait for the data from
the passed in file descriptor, not for STDIN. Adding a test in the case
where there's no data from the passed in file descriptor that checks to see
if the timeout passed, will ensure that it will timeout properly even if
there's input in STDIN.

The run_command function was changed to use the wait_for_input function to
allow having a timeout if the command to run takes too much time. There was
a bug in the wait_for_input where it could end up going into an infinite
loop. There's two issues here. One is that the return value of the sysread
wasn't used for the write (to write a proper size), and that it should
continue processing the passed in file descriptor too even if there was
input. There was no check for error, if for some reason STDIN returned an
error, the function would go into an infinite loop and never exit.

When ktest runs the console program as a child process, the parent and
child share the same tty for stdin and stderr. This is problematic when
using a libvirt target. The "virsh console" program makes a lot of
changes to the tty settings, making ktest's output hard to read
(carriage returns don't work). After ktest exits, the terminal is
unusable (CRs broken, stdin isn't echoed).
I think the best way to fix this issue would be to create a
pseudoterminal (pty pair) so the child process would have a dedicated
tty, and then use pipes to connect the two ttys. I'm not sure if that's
overkill, but it's far beyond my current Perl abilities.
This patch is a much easier way to (partially) fix this issue. It saves
the tty settings before opening the console and restores them after
closing it. There are still a few places where ktest prints mangled
output while the console is open, but the output is much more legible
overall, and the terminal works just fine after ktest exits.

Tests can set options that override the default ones. But if a test
tries to undefine a default option, it is simply ignored and the
default option stays as is.
For example, if you want to have a test that defines no MIN_CONFIG
then the test should be able to do that with:
TEST_START
MIN_CONFIG =
Which should make MIN_CONFIG not defined for that test. But the way
the code currently works, undefined options in tests are dropped.
This is because the NULL options are evaluated during the reading of
the config file and since one can disable default options in the default
section with this method, it is evaluated there (the option turns to a
undef). But undef options in the test section mean to use the default
option.
To fix this, keep the empty string in the option during the reading
of the config file, and then evaluate it when running the test. This
will allow tests to null out default options.

fixed the config-bisect to work nicely but in doing so it broke
make_min_config by changing the way assign_configs works.
The assign_configs function now adds the config to the hash even if
it is disabled, but changes the hash value to be that of the
line "# CONFIG_FOO is not set". Unfortunately, the make_min_config
test only checks to see if the config is removed. It now needs to
check if the config is in the hash and not set to be disabled.

The new rewrite left out the CONFIG_BISECT_CHECK, which allows the

are passed through a "make oldconfig" to update them with the lastest
kernel. Things could change that causes a bad config to work, or a
good config to break. The check is done after the configs have run
through the oldconfig processing.

I never liked the way config-bisect worked. I would assume the bad config
had some config that broke the system. But it would not work if the bad
config just happened to be missing something that the good config had.
I rewrote the config-bisect to do this properly. It does a diff of the two
configs, and sets half of the configs that are in one and not the other.
The way it works is that when it "sets", it really just makes one copy
what the other has. That is, a "set" can be setting a:
# CONFIG_FOO is not set
Basically, it looks at the differences between the two files and makes
them similar until it comes down to one config that makes it work or
not work depending on if it is set or not.
Note, if more than one config change makes the bad config not work, it
will only find one of them. But this is true with all bisect logic.

that is detected will set a bisect bad. It only repeats on success.
Note, as with all race bugs, there's no guarantee that if it succeeds,
it is really a good bisect. But it helps in case the bug is somewhat
reliable.
You can set BISECT_TRIES to zero, and all tests will be considered

Sometimes when a test kernel passed fine, but on reboot it crashed,
ktest could get stuck and not proceed. This would be frustrating if you
let a test run overnight to find out the next morning that it was stuck
on the first test.
To fix this, I made reboot check for the REBOOT_SUCCESS_LINE. If the
line was not detected, then it would power cycle the box.
What it didn't cover was if the REBOOT_SUCCESS_LINE wasn't defined or if
a 'good' kernel did not display the line. Instead have it search for the
Linux banner "Linux version". The reboot just needs to get to the start
of the next kernel, it does not need to test if the next kernel makes it
to a boot prompt.
After we find the next kernel has booted, then we just wait for either
the REBOOT_SUCCESS_LINE to appear or the timeout.

Although the patchcheck test checks for warnings in the files that were

file changes and the warnings appear in C files not touched by the

Add a new option called WARNINGS_FILE. If this option is set, then the
file it points to is read before bulid, and the file should contain a
list of known warnings. If a warning appears in the build, this file is
checked, and if the warning does not exist in this file, then it fails
the build showing the new warning.
If the WARNINGS_FILE points to a file that does not exist, this will
cause any warning in the build to fail.
A new test is also added called "make_warnings_file". This test will
