The firmware API has a feature to enable batching requests for the same fil
e under one worker, so only one lookup is done. This only triggers if we so
happen to schedule two lookups for same file around the same time, or if
release_firmware() has not been called for a successful firmware call. This
can happen for instance if you happen to have multiple devices and one
device driver for certain drivers where the stars line up scheduling
wise.
This adds a new sync and async test trigger. Instead of adding a new
trigger for each new test type we make the tests a bit configurable so that
we could configure the tests in userspace and just kick a test through a
few basic triggers. With this, for instance the two types of sync requests:
o request_firmware() and
o request_firmware_direct()
can be modified with a knob. Likewise the two type of async requests:
o request_firmware_nowait(uevent=true) and
o request_firmware_nowait(uevent=false)
can be configured with another knob. The call request_firmware_into_buf()
has no users... yet.
The old tests are left in place as-is given they serve a few other purposes
which we are currently not interested in also testing yet. This will change
later as we will be able to just consolidate all tests under a few basic
triggers with just one general configuration setup.
We perform two types of tests, one for where the file is present and one
for where the file is not present. All test tests go tested and they now
pass for the following 3 kernel builds possible for the firmware API:
0. Most distro setup:
CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER_FALLBACK=n
CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=y
1. Android:
CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER_FALLBACK=y
CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=y
2. Rare build:
CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER_FALLBACK=n
CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=n

It has been reported that SIGCHLD will trigger an immediate abort
on sync firmware requests which rely on the sysfs interface for a
trigger. This is unexpected behaviour, this reproduces this issue.
This test case currenty fails.

Here is the "small" driver core patches for 4.11-rc1.
Not much here, some firmware documentation and self-test updates, a
debugfs code formatting issue, and a new feature for call_usermodehelper
to make it more robust on systems that want to lock it down in a more
secure way.
All of these have been linux-next for a while now with no reported
issues.

Some distributions (Debian, OpenSUSE) have a udev rule in place to cancel
all fallback mechanism uevents immediately. This would obviously
make it hard to test against the fallback mechanism test interface,
so we need to check for this.

Create the config file in each directory of testcase which need
more kernel configuration than the default defconfig. User could
use these configs with merge_config.sh script:
Enable config for specific testcase:
(export ARCH=xxx #for cross compiling)
./scripts/kconfig/merge_config.sh .config \
tools/testing/selftests/xxx/config
Enable configs for all testcases:
(export ARCH=xxx #for cross compiling)

Now that we've added a 'trigger_async_request' knob to test the
request_firmware_nowait() API, let's use it. Also add tests for the
empty ("") string, since there have been a couple errors in that
handling already.
Since we now have real ways that the sysfs write might fail, let's add
the appropriate check on the 'echo' lines too.

This adds a Make include file which most selftests can then include to
get the run_tests logic.
On its own this has the advantage of some reduction in repetition, and
also means the pass/fail message is defined in fewer places.
However the key advantage is it will allow us to implement install very
simply in a subsequent patch.
The default implementation just executes each program in $(TEST_PROGS).
We use a variable to hold the default implementation of $(RUN_TESTS)
because that gives us a clean way to override it if necessary, ie. using
override. The mount, memory-hotplug and mqueue tests use that to provide
a different implementation.
Tests are not run via /bin/bash, so if they are scripts they must be
executable, we add a+x to several.
