* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-2.6-ktest:
  ktest: Ignore unset values of the minconfig in config_bisect
  ktest: Fix result of rebooting the kernel
  ktest: Fix off-by-one in config bisect result

ktest: Ignore unset values of the minconfig in config_bisect

2011-06-02T15:57:57+00:00

By ignoring the unset values of the minconfig in deciding
what to test in the config_bisect can cause the problem
config from being tested too.

Just do not test the configs that are set in the minconfig.

ktest: Fix result of rebooting the kernel

2011-06-02T15:57:56+00:00

The command that is called that reboots the kernel may fail
but the return code is not passed back to the ktest.pl script.
This is because a ';' is used between the two commands and
if the second command fails, only the first command's return
code is returned. Using a '&&' between the two commands fixes
this.

ktest: Fix off-by-one in config bisect result

2011-06-02T15:57:41+00:00

Because in perl the array size returned by $#arr, is the last
index and not the actually size of the array, we end the config
bisect early, thinking there is only one config left when there
are in fact two. Thus the result has a 50% chance of picking
the correct config that caused the problem.

perf top: Don't stop if no kernel symtab is found

2011-05-27T19:02:29+00:00

We now just warn the user about the fact and go on providing just
userspace samples.

This fixes a problem when no vmlinux is explicetely passed by the user,
thus symbol_conf.vmlinux_name is NULL, no suitable vmlinux is found, and
then we get:

 aldebaran:~> perf top -p 7557
 [kernel.kallsyms] with build id 44d9a989eabbd79e486bc079d6b743d397c204e0
 not found, continuing without symbols
 The (null) file can't be used

perf events: initialize fd array to -1 instead of 0

2011-05-27T19:02:12+00:00

perf_evsel__alloc_fd allocates an array of file descriptors with the
memory initialized to 0. The array has dimensions for cpus and threads.

Later, __perf_evsel__open calls sys_perf_event_open for each cpu and thread
dimensions. If the open fails for any of the cpus or threads then the fd's
for this event are closed and the fd entry in the array is set to -1. Now,
if the first attempt fails for the event (e.g., the event is not supported)
the remaining dimensions (cpu > 0 and thread > 0) are not touched and left
at the initialized value of 0.

builtin-stat catches ENOENT and ENOSYS failures and allows the command to
continue. The end result is that stat attempts to read from an fd of 0 which
of course is stdin and so the command hangs until you type ctrl-D.

Resolve by initializing the array to -1 since an fd < 0 is already
handled.
