| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As mentioned at commit 5a5d8e48449, we can't terminate 'virsh console' with the default signal(INT). So it's better to set CLOSE_CONSOLE_SIGNAL in the kvm.conf.

This is the main pull request with most of the work for this merge window. I will describe it a bit more further down. There is some additional cpuidle driver work, however I haven't included it in this tree as it depends on some work in tip/timer-core which Thomas accidentally forgot to put in a topic branch. Since I didn't want to carry all of that tip timer stuff in powerpc -next, I setup a separate branch on top of Thomas tree with just that cpuidle driver in it, and Stephen has been carrying that in next separately for a while now. I'll send a separate pull request for it. Additionally, two new pieces in this tree add users for a sysfs API that Tejun and Greg have been deprecating in drivers-core-next. Thankfully Greg reverted the patch that removes the old API so this merge can happen cleanly, but once merged, I will send a patch adjusting our new code to the new API so that Greg can send you the removal patch. Now as for the content of this branch, we have a lot of perf work for power8 new counters including support for our new "nest" counters (also called 24x7) under pHyp (not natively yet). We have new functionality when running under the OPAL firmware (non-virtualized or KVM host), such as access to the firmware error logs and service processor dumps, system parameters and sensors, along with a hwmon driver for the latter. There's also a bunch of bug fixes accross the board, some LE fixes, and a nice set of selftests for validating our various types of copy loops.

Therefore, rcutorture testing could be sped up significantly simply by running the kernels in parallel. Building them in parallel is not all that helpful: "make -j" is usually a better bet. So this commit takes a new "--cpus" argument that specifies how many CPUs rcutorture is permitted to use for its parallel runs. The default of zero does sequential runs as before. The bin-packing is minimal, and will be grossly suboptimal for some configurations. However, powers of two work reasonably well. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Parallel rcutorture runs is valuable on large systems, but it is not a good idea to do (say) five builds in parallel if each build believes it has the whole system at its disposal, especially if the system is shared. It is also bad to restrict the build to (say) a single CPU just because the corresponding rcutorture run uses only a single CPU. This commit therefore adds a kvm-test-1-rcu.sh ability to pause after the build completes, which will allow kvm.sh to do a number of builds serially (with each build thus having the full system at its disposal), then allow the rcutorture runs to proceed in parallel.

| * rcutorture: Stop tracking FSF's postal addressPaul E. McKenney2013-12-0317-32/+50
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | All of the rcutorture scripts has the usual GPL header, which contains a long-obsolete postal address for FSF. To avoid the need to track the FSF office's movements, this commit substitutes the URL where GPL may be found.

| * rcutorture: Flag errors and warnings with color codingPaul E. McKenney2013-12-035-12/+41
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The output of the rcutorture scripts often requires interpretation, so this commit simplifies this interpretation by tagging messages as BUGs (colored red) or WARNINGs (colored yellow).

| * rcutorture: Record results from repeated runs of the same test scenarioPaul E. McKenney2013-12-031-1/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Repeatedly running a given test, for example, by repeating the name as in "--configs "TREE08 TREE08 TREE08" records the results only of the last run of this test. This is because the earlier results are overwritten by the later results. This commit therefore checks for earlier results, using numbered file extensions to distinguish multiple runs. The earlier example would therefore create directories TREE01, TREE01.2, and TREE01.3. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Greg KH <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
| * rcutorture: Test summary at end of run with less chattinessPaul E. McKenney2013-12-032-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The commit causes kvm.sh to invoke kvm-recheck.sh at the end of each run, and causes kvm-recheck.sh to print only the name of the test, not the full path to the corresponding Kconfig file.

| * rcutorture: Add tracing-enabled version of TREE08Paul E. McKenney2013-12-031-0/+26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The TREE08 Kconfig fragment does not enable tracing, which is appropriate for its test case. However, this can be inconvenient in cases where TREE08 locates RCU bugs. This commit therefore adds a TREE08-T that differs from TREE08 only in enabling CONFIG_RCU_TRACE. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

| * rcutorture: Add --kmake-arg argument to kvm.shPaul E. McKenney2013-12-032-1/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit adds the --kmake-arg to kvm.sh, which allows passing in things like "V=1" to see the build commands, as well as enabling the CROSS_COMPILE= make macro used for cross-building.

| * rcutorture: Add --no-initrd argument to kvm.shPaul E. McKenney2013-12-032-3/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit adds the --no-initrd argument to kvm.sh, which permits initrd to be contained in a root partition specified by the --bootargs argument. Without --no-initrd, the kernel build expects an initrd directory in the same rcutorture directory that contains bin and configs. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

| * rcutorture: Add --qemu-args argument to kvm.shPaul E. McKenney2013-12-031-5/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commits adds the --qemu-args argument to kvm.sh that is required to pass boot devices down through to qemu. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Greg KH <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
| * rcutorture: Add --bootargs argument to specify additional boot argumentsPaul E. McKenney2013-12-031-1/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit allows easy specification of trace_event lists, among other things. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Greg KH <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
| * rcutorture: Add --buildonly dry-run capabilityPaul E. McKenney2013-12-032-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit adds --buildonly, which does the builds specified by the --configs argument, but does not boot or test the resulting kernels. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Greg KH <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
| * rcutorture: Eliminate configdir argument from kvm-recheck.sh scriptPaul E. McKenney2013-12-031-4/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Don't grab the configuration fragment from the configs directory because it might well have been changed since the test was run. Instead, use the ConfigFragment file that was placed in the results directory. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Greg KH <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
| * rcutorture: Allow Kconfig-related boot parameters to overridePaul E. McKenney2013-12-031-4/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As it stands, the default kernel boot parameters generated from the Kconfig fragment will override any supplied with the .boot file that can optionally accompany a Kconfig fragment. Rearrange ordering to permit the specific .boot arguments to override those generated by analyzing the Kconfig fragment. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit expands the checks for what architecture is running to generate additional qemu-system- commands, then uses the resulting qemu-system- command name to choose different qemu arguments as needed for different architectures.
