The original intent of the code was to repeat the search with
want_symtab = 0. But as the code stands now, we never hit the "default"
case of the switch statement. Which means we never repeat the search.Tested-by: Srikar Dronamraju

The a1645ce1 changeset:
"perf: 'perf kvm' tool for monitoring guest performance from host"
Added a field to struct build_id_event that broke the file format.
Since the kernel build-id is the first entry, process the table using
the old format if the well known '[kernel.kallsyms]' string for the
kernel build-id has the first 4 characters chopped off (where the pid_t
sits).Reported-by: Han Pingtian

Resolving the sample->id to an evsel since the most advanced tools,
report and annotate, and the others will too when they evolve to
properly support multi-event perf.data files.Good also because it does an extra validation, checking that the ID is
valid when present. When that is not the case, the overhead is just a
branch + function call (perf_evlist__id2evsel).Cc: Frederic Weisbecker

Some versions of grep don't treat '\s' properly. When building perf on such
systems and using a kernel tarball the perf version is unable to be determined
from the main kernel Makefile and the user is left with a version of '..'.
Replacing the use of '\s' with '[[:space:]]', which should work in all grep
versions, gives a usable version number.Reported-by: Tapan Dhimant

Newer compilers (gcc 4.6) complains about:
return ret < 0 ?: 0;
For the following reason:
util/probe-finder.c: In function ‘probe_point_lazy_walker’:
util/probe-finder.c:1331:18: error: the omitted middle operand in ?: will always be ‘true’, suggest explicit middle operand [-Werror=parentheses]And indeed the return value is a somewhat obscure (but correct) value
of 'true', so return 'ret' instead - this is cleaner and unconfuses

Allow a user to select which fields to print to stdout for event data.
Options include comm (command name), tid (thread id), pid (process id),
time (perf timestamp), cpu, event (for event name), and trace (for
trace data).Default is set to maintain compatibility with current output; this
feature does alter output format slightly -- no '-' between command
and pid/tid.Thanks to Frederic Weisbecker for detailed suggestions on this approach.

kallsyms has a virtual file name [kernel.kallsyms]. Currently, it can't
be added to buildid cache successfully because the code
(build_id_cache__add_s) tries to resolve [kernel.kallsyms] to a real
absolute pathname and that fails.Fixes it by not resolving it and just use the name [kernel.kallsyms].
So dir ~/.debug/[kernel.kallsyms] is created.Original bug report at:

Currently, if a test causes constant output but never reaches a
boot prompt, or crashes, the test will never stop. Add STOP_TEST_AFTER
to create a variable that will stop (and fail) the test after it has run
for this amount of time. The default is 10 minutes. Setting this
variable to -1 will disable it.Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

Record the console of tests to both the console and the log.
Also, record the bug reports afte the test has completed.
Currently, if a kernel bug happens while running the userland
test, the test stops and will not record the kernel bug. This
makes it difficult to solve what happened.Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt
-
The config STOP_AFTER_FAILURE is the number of seconds to continue
the test when a failure is detected. This lets the monitor record
more data to the logs and console that may be helpful in solving
the bug that was found.But the test had a bug. If the failure caused multiple
"Call Trace" stack dumps, the start time to compare the
STOP_AFTER_FAILURE would constantly be reset. Only update the start
time at the first "Call Trace" instance.Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

If a during a git bisect, ktest fails on something other than
what it is testing (if BISECT_TYPE is test but it fails on build),
if BISECT_SKIP is set, then it will do a "git bisect skip" instead
of just failing the bisect and letting the user find a good commit
to test.Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt
-
For both git bisect and config bisect, if BISECT_MANUAL is set to 1,
then bisect will stop between iterations and ask the user for the
result. The actual result is ignored. This makes it possible to
use ktest.pl for bisecting configs and git and let the user examine
the results themselves and enter their own results.Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt
-
When bisecting, one may come across a kernel that does not have
make oldnoconfig. In this case, we need to run the command "yes"
into a make oldconfig. This will select defaults instead of 'n'
into each command, but it works as a work around.Note, "yes n" will not work because a config may have a value that
"n" is not acceptable for.Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

Currently we just look for a Call Trace to start the time out
