ftracetest: Add --verbose option for showing echo output

2014-12-04T15:40:34+00:00

Add --verbose/-v option for showing echo output in testcases.
This is good for checking the progress of testcases which
take a longer time to run.

To implement this feature, all the testcase failures are
captured in ftracetest and send signal to set SIG_RESULT=FAIL.

ftracetest: Fix to show descriptions on dash

2014-12-04T15:38:49+00:00

The ftracetest doesn't show testcase's descriptions when
it is executed on dash. This fixes that to show the
descriptions on dash correctly by passing it via a variable
instead of directly passing the grep command output.

ftracetest: Clear trace buffer after running kprobe testcases

2014-11-06T13:39:39+00:00

The kprobe testcases create, use and delete dynamic events during the
test but didn't clear the trace buffer so it'll leave the result after
it finishes.

ftracetest: Use logfile name supported by busybox's mktemp

2014-11-06T13:38:46+00:00

When I run the ftracetest in a busybox docker container, I saw
following error.  Make the logfile template to comply with busybox's
mktemp.  It also keep the logfiles under the logs directory.

  # /linux/tools/testing/selftests/ftrace/ftracetest
  === Ftrace unit tests ===

  Usage: mktemp [-dt] [-p DIR] [TEMPLATE]

  Create a temporary file with name based on TEMPLATE and print its name.
  TEMPLATE must end with XXXXXX (e.g. [/dir/]nameXXXXXX).
  Without TEMPLATE, -t tmp.XXXXXX is assumed.

  	-d	  Make directory, not file
  	-q	  Fail silently on errors
  	-t	  Prepend base directory name to TEMPLATE
  	-p DIR	  Use DIR as a base directory (implies -t)
  	-u Do not create anything; print a name

  Base directory is: -p DIR, else $TMPDIR, else /tmp

ftracetest: Add a couple of ftrace test cases

2014-11-06T13:35:52+00:00

Added three test cases to get the feel of adding tests to ftracetest.
The three cases are:

  function profiling test, to make sure function profiling still works
   with function tracing (was a regression)

  function graph filter test to make sure that function graph filtering works.

  function graph filter with stack tracing test to make sure that the function
   graph filter does filter and also continues to filter when another function tracer
   is running (like the stack tracer)

ftracetest: Add functions file that holds helper functions

2014-11-06T13:30:02+00:00

Created the file tools/testing/ftrace/test.d/functions that will
hold helper functions.

Current helper functions include:

 Add clear_trace() helper to reset the trace file

   Used as a descriptive name to show that "echo > trace" is clearing
   the trace file.

 Add disable/enable_tracing() helper calls

   Add calls that disable and enable tracing respectively by echoing
   0 or 1 into tracing_on.

 Add helper reset_tracer() function

    Add a helper function reset_tracer() that will clear the current_tracer
    (echo nop > current_tracer).

ftracetest: Add kprobes on ftrace testcase

2014-11-03T19:15:46+00:00

Add a kprobes on ftrace testcase. The testcase verifies that
- enabling and disabling function tracing works on a function which
  already contains a dynamic kprobe
- adding and removing a dynamic kprobe works on a function which is
  already enabled for function tracing

ftracetest: Take the first debugfs mount found

2014-11-03T18:42:49+00:00

Running ftracetests on a box that mounted debugfs in two locations
made the ftracetests fail. This is because the tests uses a grep
of debugfs from the /proc/mounts file to find the debugfs mount
point, and then appends "/tracing" to that string to get the tracing
directory.

If the debugfs directory is mounted twice, then that grep will return
two answers and appending "/tracing" to a string with two lines will
not work.

Use "head -1" to only take the first mount point found.
