[PATCH v3 0/7] selftsts/ftrace: Add requires list for each test case

[PATCH v3 0/7] selftsts/ftrace: Add requires list for each test case

[Masami Hiramatsu]

Hi,

Here is the 3rd version of the series of "requires:" list for
simplifying and unifying requirement checks for each test case.

The previous version is here.

https://lkml.kernel.org/r/159108888259.42416.547252366885528860.stgit@devnote2

I've fixed a comment in the template file in this version.

In short, this series introduces "requires:" line instead of
checking required ftrace interfaces in each test case.

The requires line supports following checks
 - tracefs interface check: Check whether the given file or directory
   in the tracefs. (No suffix) [3/7],[4/7],[5/7]
 - available tracer check: Check whether the given tracer is available
   (":tracer" suffix) [6/7]
 - README feature check: Check whether the given string is in the
   README (":README" suffix) [7/7]

This series also includes the description line fix and
unresolved -> unsupported change ([1/7] and [2/7]).

Since this series depends on following 2 commits,

commit 619ee76f5c9f ("selftests/ftrace: Return unsupported if no
 error_log file") on Shuah's Kselftest tree
commit bea24f766efc ("selftests/ftrace: Distinguish between hist
 and synthetic event checks") on Steven's Tracing tree

This can be applied on the tree which merged both of them.
Also, you can get the series from the following.

 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mhiramat/linux.git ftracetest-requires-v3


Thank you,

[PATCH v3 1/7] selftests/ftrace: Allow ":" in description

[Masami Hiramatsu]

Allow ":" in the description line. Currently if there is ":"
in the test description line, the description is cut at that
point, but that was unintended.

[PATCH v3 2/7] selftests/ftrace: Return unsupported for the unconfigured features

[Masami Hiramatsu]

As same as other test cases, return unsupported if kprobe_events
or argument access feature are not found.

There can be a new arch which does not port those features yet,
and an older kernel which doesn't support it.
Those can not enable the features.

[PATCH v3 3/7] selftests/ftrace: Add "requires:" list support

[Masami Hiramatsu]

Introduce "requires:" list to check required ftrace interface
for each test. This will simplify the interface checking code
and unify the error message. Another good point is, it can
skip the ftrace initializing.

Note that this requires list must be written as a shell
comment.

Masami,

This patch doesn't apply to linux-kselftest next

Patches 1-3 applied fine and this one failed. For now I will
hold off on applying this series.

Yes, there is another patch posted by Tom with his ftrace enhancement
in tracing-next. Thus I commented on 0/7 as below.

----
Since this series depends on following 2 commits,

commit 619ee76f5c9f ("selftests/ftrace: Return unsupported if no
 error_log file") on Shuah's Kselftest tree
commit bea24f766efc ("selftests/ftrace: Distinguish between hist
 and synthetic event checks") on Steven's Tracing tree

This can be applied on the tree which merged both of them.
----

I'm not sure how do I handle it. It is OK just modifying this
for linux-kselftest, but in that case we will need another
patch after merged both.

IMHO, since the kselftest must run correctly on older kernel,
(and ftracetest does) Tom's kselftest patch should be merged
into linux-kselftest instead of tracing tree.

Steve, what would you think?

Thank you,

Sorry I made a note of it when I first looked at the series and
missed that when I was applying patches.

No worries. As far as kselftest tree is concrned, I can apply these
after rc1 comes out with Tom's patch.

Or I can give Ack and Steve can take these through tracing tree.

All my patches have already made it to Linus's tree. Perhaps
cherry-pick the commit needed from Linus's tree (it shouldn't break
anything when Linus pulls it). Just let Linus know what you did, and
everything should be fine.

I applied all 7 patches to linux-kselftest next for my second update.
I saw a couple of merge problems with 4/7 patch even when I applied
it on top of with Tom's patch.

I resolved them and amended the commit message to indicate the merge.
It is straight forward. Please check for sanity.

Oh, I might miss something.

Yes, I confirmed that the merge looks good, and also test ran out
without any error. :)

[PATCH v3 5/7] selftests/ftrace: Convert check_filter_file() with requires list

[Masami Hiramatsu]

Since check_filter_file() is basically checking the filter
tracefs file, we can convert it into requires list.

[PATCH v3 6/7] selftests/ftrace: Support ":tracer" suffix for requires

[Masami Hiramatsu]

Add ":tracer" suffix support for the requires list, so that
the testcase can list up the required tracer (e.g. function)
to the requires list.

For example, if the testcase requires function_graph tracer,
it can write requires list as below instead of checking
available_tracers.

# requires: function_graph:tracer

[PATCH v3 7/7] selftests/ftrace: Support ":README" suffix for requires

[Masami Hiramatsu]

Add ":README" suffix support for the requires list, so that
the testcase can list up the required string for README file
to the requires list.

Note that the required string is treated as a fixed string,
instead of regular expression. Also, the testcase can specify
a string containing spaces with quotes. E.g.

# requires: "place: [<module>:]<symbol>":README

Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org>
Reviewed-by: Tom Zanussi <zanussi@kernel.org>

  Changes in v3:
   - Update template according to the previous change in the series.
  Changes in v2:
   - Convert README check in kprobe/kprobe_args_user.tc
