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) && ${MACHINE} == gandalf
161 # Notice the use of parentheses. Without any parentheses the above would be
162 # processed the same as:
164 # TEST_START IF DEFINED ALL_TESTS || (${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)

357 # the grub menu.lst for this option to find what kernel to
360 # For example, if in the /boot/grub/menu.lst the test kernel title has:
362 # kernel vmlinuz-test
364 # For grub2, a search of top level "menuentry"s are done. No
365 # submenu is searched. The menu is found by searching for the
366 # contents of GRUB_MENU in the line that starts with "menuentry".
367 # You may want to include the quotes around the option. For example:
368 # for: menuentry 'Test Kernel'
369 # do a: GRUB_MENU = 'Test Kernel'

842 # found, and then later a kernel banner for another kernel version
843 # is found, it is considered that we encountered a triple fault,
844 # and there is no panic or callback, but simply a reboot.
845 # To disable this (because it did a false positive) set the following
848 #DETECT_TRIPLE_FAULT = 0
850 # All options in the config file should be either used by ktest
851 # or could be used within a value of another option. If an option
852 # in the config file is not used, ktest will warn about it and ask
853 # if you want to continue.
855 # If you don't care if there are non-used options, enable this
856 # option. Be careful though, a non-used option is usually a sign
857 # of an option name being typed incorrectly.
861 # When testing a kernel that happens to have WARNINGs, and call
862 # traces, ktest.pl will detect these and fail a boot or test run
863 # due to warnings. By setting this option, ktest will ignore
864 # call traces, and will not fail a test if the kernel produces
865 # an oops. Use this option with care.

880 # If the BUILD_DIR is a git repository, then you can set this option
881 # to checkout the given branch before running the TEST. If you
882 # specify this for the first run, that branch will be used for
883 # all preceding tests until a new CHECKOUT is set.
888 # If you want the test to have a name that is displayed in
889 # the test result banner at the end of the test, then use this
890 # option. This is useful to search for the RESULT keyword and
891 # not have to translate a test number to a test in the config.
893 # For TEST_TYPE = patchcheck
895 # This expects the BUILD_DIR to be a git repository, and
896 # will checkout the PATCHCHECK_START commit.
898 # The option BUILD_TYPE will be ignored.
900 # The MIN_CONFIG will be used for all builds of the patchcheck. The build type
901 # used for patchcheck is oldconfig.
903 # PATCHCHECK_START is required and is the first patch to
904 # test (the SHA1 of the commit). You may also specify anything
905 # that git checkout allows (branch name, tage, HEAD~3).
907 # PATCHCHECK_END is the last patch to check (default HEAD)
909 # PATCHCHECK_CHERRY if set to non zero, then git cherry will be
910 # performed against PATCHCHECK_START and PATCHCHECK_END. That is

914 # Then the changes found will be tested.
916 # Note, PATCHCHECK_CHERRY requires PATCHCHECK_END to be defined.
919 # PATCHCHECK_TYPE is required and is the type of test to run:

951 # used for bisecting is oldconfig.
953 # The option BUILD_TYPE will be ignored.
955 # BISECT_TYPE is the type of test to perform:
956 # build - bad fails to build
957 # boot - bad builds but fails to boot
958 # test - bad boots but fails a test
960 # BISECT_GOOD is the commit (SHA1) to label as good (accepts all git good commit types)
961 # BISECT_BAD is the commit to label as bad (accepts all git bad commit types)
963 # The above three options are required for a bisect operation.
965 # BISECT_REPLAY = /path/to/replay/file (optional, default undefined)
967 # If an operation failed in the bisect that was not expected to
968 # fail. Then the test ends. The state of the BUILD_DIR will be
969 # left off at where the failure occurred. You can examine the
970 # reason for the failure, and perhaps even find a git commit
971 # that would work to continue with. You can run:
973 # git bisect log > /path/to/replay/file
977 # BISECT_REPLAY= /path/to/replay/file
979 # And running the test again. The test will perform the initial
980 # git bisect start, git bisect good, and git bisect bad, and
981 # then it will run git bisect replay on this file, before
982 # continuing with the bisect.
984 # BISECT_START = commit (optional, default undefined)
986 # As with BISECT_REPLAY, if the test failed on a commit that
987 # just happen to have a bad commit in the middle of the bisect,
988 # and you need to skip it. If BISECT_START is defined, it
989 # will checkout that commit after doing the initial git bisect start,
990 # git bisect good, git bisect bad, and running the git bisect replay
991 # if the BISECT_REPLAY is set.
993 # BISECT_SKIP = 1 (optional, default 0)
995 # If BISECT_TYPE is set to test but the build fails, ktest will
996 # simply fail the test and end their. You could use BISECT_REPLAY
997 # and BISECT_START to resume after you found a new starting point,
998 # or you could set BISECT_SKIP to 1. If BISECT_SKIP is set to 1,
999 # when something other than the BISECT_TYPE fails, ktest.pl will
1000 # run "git bisect skip" and try again.
1002 # BISECT_FILES = <path> (optional, default undefined)
1004 # To just run the git bisect on a specific path, set BISECT_FILES.

1013 # In those strange instances where it was broken forever
1014 # and you are trying to find where it started to work!
1015 # Set BISECT_GOOD to the commit that was last known to fail
1016 # Set BISECT_BAD to the commit that is known to start working.
1017 # With BISECT_REVERSE = 1, The test will consider failures as
1018 # good, and success as bad.
1020 # BISECT_MANUAL = 1 (optional, default 0)
1022 # In case there's a problem with automating the bisect for
1023 # whatever reason. (Can't reboot, want to inspect each iteration)
1024 # Doing a BISECT_MANUAL will have the test wait for you to
1025 # tell it if the test passed or failed after each iteration.
1026 # This is basicall the same as running git bisect yourself
1027 # but ktest will rebuild and install the kernel for you.
1029 # BISECT_CHECK = 1 (optional, default 0)
1031 # Just to be sure the good is good and bad is bad, setting
1032 # BISECT_CHECK to 1 will start the bisect by first checking
1033 # out BISECT_BAD and makes sure it fails, then it will check
1034 # out BISECT_GOOD and makes sure it succeeds before starting
1035 # the bisect (it works for BISECT_REVERSE too).
1037 # You can limit the test to just check BISECT_GOOD or
1038 # BISECT_BAD with BISECT_CHECK = good or
1039 # BISECT_CHECK = bad, respectively.
1041 # BISECT_TRIES = 5 (optional, default 1)
1043 # For those cases that it takes several tries to hit a bug,
1044 # the BISECT_TRIES is useful. It is the number of times the
1045 # test is ran before it says the kernel is good. The first failure
1046 # will stop trying and mark the current SHA1 as bad.
1048 # Note, as with all race bugs, there's no guarantee that if
1049 # it succeeds, it is really a good bisect. But it helps in case
1050 # the bug is some what reliable.
1052 # You can set BISECT_TRIES to zero, and all tests will be considered
1053 # good, unless you also set BISECT_MANUAL.
1055 # BISECT_RET_GOOD = 0 (optional, default undefined)
1057 # In case the specificed test returns something other than just
1058 # 0 for good, and non-zero for bad, you can override 0 being
1059 # good by defining BISECT_RET_GOOD.
1061 # BISECT_RET_BAD = 1 (optional, default undefined)
1063 # In case the specificed test returns something other than just
1064 # 0 for good, and non-zero for bad, you can override non-zero being
1065 # bad by defining BISECT_RET_BAD.
1067 # BISECT_RET_ABORT = 255 (optional, default undefined)
1069 # If you need to abort the bisect if the test discovers something
1070 # that was wrong, you can define BISECT_RET_ABORT to be the error
1071 # code returned by the test in order to abort the bisect.
1073 # BISECT_RET_SKIP = 2 (optional, default undefined)
1075 # If the test detects that the current commit is neither good
1076 # nor bad, but something else happened (another bug detected)
1077 # you can specify BISECT_RET_SKIP to an error code that the
1078 # test returns when it should skip the current commit.
1080 # BISECT_RET_DEFAULT = good (optional, default undefined)
1082 # You can override the default of what to do when the above
1083 # options are not hit. This may be one of, "good", "bad",
1084 # "abort" or "skip" (without the quotes).
1086 # Note, if you do not define any of the previous BISECT_RET_*
1087 # and define BISECT_RET_DEFAULT, all bisects results will do

1106 # The TEST_TYPE config_bisect will bisect the bad config looking for
1107 # what config causes the failure.
1109 # The way it works is this:
1111 # You can specify a good config with CONFIG_BISECT_GOOD, otherwise it
1112 # will use the MIN_CONFIG, and if that's not specified, it will use
1113 # the config that comes with "make defconfig".
1115 # It runs both the good and bad configs through a make oldconfig to
1116 # make sure that they are set up for the kernel that is checked out.
1118 # It then reads the configs that are set, as well as the ones that are
1119 # not set for both the good and bad configs, and then compares them.
1120 # It will set half of the good configs within the bad config (note,
1121 # "set" means to make the bad config match the good config, a config
1122 # in the good config that is off, will be turned off in the bad
1123 # config. That is considered a "set").
1125 # It tests this new config and if it works, it becomes the new good
1126 # config, otherwise it becomes the new bad config. It continues this
1127 # process until there's only one config left and it will report that
1130 # The "bad config" can also be a config that is needed to boot but was
1131 # disabled because it depended on something that wasn't set.
1133 # During this process, it saves the current good and bad configs in
1134 # ${TMP_DIR}/good_config and ${TMP_DIR}/bad_config respectively.
1135 # If you stop the test, you can copy them to a new location to

1182 # After doing a make localyesconfig, your kernel configuration may
1183 # not be the most useful minimum configuration. Having a true minimum
1184 # config that you can use against other configs is very useful if
1185 # someone else has a config that breaks on your code. By only forcing
1186 # those configurations that are truly required to boot your machine
1187 # will give you less of a chance that one of your set configurations
1188 # will make the bug go away. This will give you a better chance to
1189 # be able to reproduce the reported bug matching the broken config.
1191 # Note, this does take some time, and may require you to run the
1192 # test over night, or perhaps over the weekend. But it also allows
1193 # you to interrupt it, and gives you the current minimum config
1194 # that was found till that time.

1202 # it. The Kconfig files are examined to determine the dependencies
1203 # of the configs. If a config is chosen that depends on another
1204 # config, that config will be checked first. By checking the
1205 # parents first, we can eliminate whole groups of configs that
1206 # may have been enabled.
1208 # For example, if a USB device config is chosen and depends on CONFIG_USB,
1209 # the CONFIG_USB will be tested before the device. If CONFIG_USB is
