A recent change to the DEBUG_INFO Kconfig option means that simply adding
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y to the .config file and running "make oldconfig" no
longer works. It is instead necessary to add CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_NONE=n
and (for example) CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_DWARF_TOOLCHAIN_DEFAULT=y.
This combination will then result in CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO being selected.
This commit therefore updates the Kconfig options produced in response
to the kvm.sh --gdb, --kasan, and --kcsan Kconfig options.

KASAN allots significant memory to track allocation state, and the amount
of memory has increased recently, which results in frequent OOMs on a
few of the rcutorture scenarios. This commit therefore provides 2G of
memory for --kasan runs, up from the 512M default.

This commit weakens the checks of the kvm.sh script's --torture parameter
and the kvm-recheck.sh script's parsing so that experimental torture tests
may be created without updating these two scripts. The changes required
are to the appropriate Makefile and Kconfig file, plus a directory
whose name begins with "X" must be added to the rcutorture/configs file.
This new directory's name can then be passed in via the kvm.sh script's
--torture parameter.

The torture-test scripting's long-standing use of KVM as the environment
variable tracking the pathname of the rcutorture directory now conflicts
with allmodconfig builds due to the virt/kvm/Makefile.kvm file's use
of this as a makefile variable. This commit therefore changes the
torture-test scripting from KVM to RCUTORTURE, avoiding the name conflict.

In a clear-cut case of "not thinking big enough", kvm.sh limits the
multipliers for torture-test scenarios to three digits. Although this is
large enough for any single system that I have ever run rcutorture on,
it does become a problem when you want to use kvm-remote.sh to run as
many instances of TREE09 as fit on a set of 20 systems with 80 CPUs each.
Yes, one could simply say "--configs '800*TREE09 800*TREE09'", but this
commit removes the need for that sort of hacky workaround by permitting
four-digit repetition numbers, thus allowing "--configs '1600*TREE09'".
Five-digit repetition numbers remain off the menu. Should they ever
really be needed, they can easily be added!

This commit causes kvm.sh to use the new kvm-assign-cpus.sh and
kvm-get-cpus-script.sh scripts to create a TORTURE_AFFINITY environment
variable containing either an empty string (for no affinity) or a list
of CPUs to pin the scenario's vCPUs to. A later commit will make
use of this information to actually pin the vCPUs.

This commit is a first step towards pinning guest-OS vCPUs so as
to force latency differences, especially on multi-socket systems.
The kvm.sh script puts its batch-creation awk script into a temporary
file so that later commits can add the awk code needed to dole out CPUs
so as to maximize latency differences. This awk code will be used by
multiple scripts.

Currently, if a torture scenario requires more CPUs than are present
on the build system, kvm.sh and friends limit the CPUs available to
that scenario. This makes total sense when the build system and the
system running the scenarios are one and the same, but not so much when
remote systems might well have more CPUs.
This commit therefore introduces a --remote flag to kvm.sh that suppresses
this CPU-limiting behavior, and causes kvm-remote.sh to use this flag.

Some of the code invoked directly and indirectly from kvm.sh parses
the output of commands. This parsing assumes English, which can cause
failures if the user has set some other language. In a few cases,
there are language-independent commands available, but this is not
always the case. Therefore, as an alternative to polyglot parsing,
this commit sets the LANG environment variable to en_US.UTF-8.

This commit creates a "batches" file in the res/$ds directory, where $ds
is the datestamp. This file contains the batches and the number of CPUs,
for example:
1 TREE03 16
1 SRCU-P 8
2 TREE07 16
2 TREE01 8
3 TREE02 8
3 TREE04 8
3 TREE05 8
4 SRCU-N 4
4 TRACE01 4
4 TRACE02 4
4 RUDE01 2
4 RUDE01.2 2
4 TASKS01 2
4 TASKS03 2
4 SRCU-t 1
4 SRCU-u 1
4 TASKS02 1
4 TINY01 1
5 TINY02 1
5 TREE09 1
The first column is the batch number, the second the scenario number
(possibly suffixed by a repetition number, as in "RUDE01.2"), and the
third is the number of CPUs required by that scenario. The last line
shows the number of CPUs expected by this batch file, which allows
the run to be re-batched if a different number of CPUs is available.

Although it might be unlikely that someone would name a scenario

Distributed runs of rcutorture will need to start and stop jittering on
the remote hosts, which means that the commands must be communicated to
those hosts. The commit therefore causes kvm.sh to place these commands
in new TORTURE_JITTER_START and TORTURE_JITTER_STOP environment variables
to communicate them to the scripts that will set this up. In addition,
this commit causes kvm-test-1-run.sh to append these commands to each
generated qemu-cmd file, which allows any remotely executing script to
extract the needed commands from this file.

Remote rcutorture testing requires that jitter.sh continue to be
invoked from the generated script for local runs, but that it instead
be invoked on the remote system for distributed runs. This argues
for common jitterstart and jitterstop scripts. But it would be good
for jitterstart and jitterstop to control the name and location of the
"jittering" file, while continuing to have the duration controlled by
the caller of these new scripts.
This commit therefore reverses the order of the jittering and duration
parameters for jitter.sh, so that the jittering parameter precedes the
duration parameter.

Currently, jitter.sh execution is controlled by a time limit and by the
"kill" command. The former allowed jitter.sh to run uselessly past
the end of a set of runs that panicked during boot, and the latter is
vulnerable to PID reuse. This commit therefore introduces a "jittering"
file in the date-stamp directory within "res" that must be present for
the jitter.sh scripts to continue executing. The time limit is still
in place in order to avoid disturbing runs featuring large trace dumps,
but the removal of the "jittering" file handles the panic-during-boot
scenario without relying on PIDs.

Currently, the script generated by kvm.sh does a "wait" to wait on both
the current batch's guest OSes and any jitter.sh scripts. This works,
but makes it hard to abstract the jittering so that common code can be
used for both local and distributed runs. This commit therefore uses
"build.run" files in scenario directories, and these files are removed
after the corresponding scenario's guest OS has completed.
Note that --build-only runs do not create build.run files because they
also do not create guest OSes and do not run any jitter.sh scripts.

The testid.txt file was intended for occasional in extremis use, but
now that the new "bare-metal" file references it, it might see more use.
This commit therefore labels sections of output and adds spacing to make
it easier to see what needs to be done to make a bare-metal build tree
match an rcutorture build tree.
Of course, you can avoid this whole issue by building your bare-metal
kernel in the same directory in which you ran rcutorture, but that might
not always be an option.

In some environments, the torture-testing use of virtualization is
inconvenient. In such cases, the modprobe and rmmod commands may be used
to do torture testing, but significant setup is required to build, boot,
and modprobe a kernel so as to match a given torture-test scenario.
This commit therefore creates a "bare-metal" file in each results
directory containing steps to run the corresponding scenario using the
modprobe command on bare metal. For example, the contents of this file
after using kvm.sh to build an rcutorture TREE01 kernel, perhaps with
the --buildonly argument, is as follows:
To run this scenario on bare metal:
1. Set your bare-metal build tree to the state shown in this file:
/home/git/linux-rcu/tools/testing/selftests/rcutorture/res/2021.02.04-17.10.19/testid.txt
2. Update your bare-metal build tree's .config based on this file:
/home/git/linux-rcu/tools/testing/selftests/rcutorture/res/2021.02.04-17.10.19/TREE01/ConfigFragment
3. Make the bare-metal kernel's build system aware of your .config updates:
$ yes "" | make oldconfig
4. Build your bare-metal kernel.
5. Boot your bare-metal kernel with the following parameters:
maxcpus=8 nr_cpus=43 rcutree.gp_preinit_delay=3 rcutree.gp_init_delay=3 rcutree.gp_cleanup_delay=3 rcu_nocbs=0-1,3-7
6. Start the test with the following command:
$ modprobe rcutorture nocbs_nthreads=8 nocbs_toggle=1000 fwd_progress=0 onoff_interval=1000 onoff_holdoff=30 n_barrier_cbs=4 stat_interval=15 shutdown_secs=120 test_no_idle_hz=1 verbose=1
7. After some time, end the test with the following command:
$ rmmod rcutorture
8. Copy your bare-metal kernel's .config file, overwriting this file:
/home/git/linux-rcu/tools/testing/selftests/rcutorture/res/2021.02.04-17.10.19/TREE01/.config
9. Copy the console output from just before the modprobe to just after
the rmmod into this file:
/home/git/linux-rcu/tools/testing/selftests/rcutorture/res/2021.02.04-17.10.19/TREE01/console.log
10. Check for runtime errors using the following command:
$ tools/testing/selftests/rcutorture/bin/kvm-recheck.sh /home/git/linux-rcu/tools/testing/selftests/rcutorture/res/2021.02.04-17.10.19

Currently, if a scenario is repeated as in "--configs '4*TREE01'",
the Kconfig analysis is performed for each occurrance (four times in
this example) and each analysis places the exact same data into the
exact same files. This is not really an issue in this repetition-four
example, but it can needlessly consume tens of seconds of wallclock time
for something like "--config '128*TINY01'".
This commit therefore does Kconfig analysis only once per set of
repeats of a given scenario, courtesy of the "sort -u" command and an
automatically generated awk script.
While in the area, this commit also wordsmiths a comment.

This commit changes the "STOP" file that is used to cleanly halt a running
rcutorture run to "STOP.1" because no scenario directory will ever end
with ".1". If there really was a scenario named "STOP", its directories
would instead be named "STOP", "STOP.2", "STOP.3", and so on. While in
the area, the commit also changes the kernel-run-time checks for this
file to look directly in the directory above $resdir, thus avoiding the
need to pass the TORTURE_STOPFILE environment variable to remote systems.
While in the area, move the STOP.1 file to the top-level directory
covering all of the scenarios.

When all of the remote systems have the same number of CPUs, one
approach is to use one "--buildonly" run and one "--dryrun sched" run,

adds a "--dryrun batches" that provides the same information in easily

Currently, passing something like "--kconfig CONFIG_NR_CPUS=2" to kvm.sh
has no effect on scenario scheduling. For scenarios that do not specify
the number of CPUs, this can result in kvm.sh wastefully scheduling only
one scenario at a time even when the --kconfig argument would allow
a number to be run concurrently. This commit therefore makes kvm.sh
consider the --kconfig arguments when scheduling scenarios across the
available CPUs.

Given that kvm.sh in invoked from scripts, it is only natural for
different levels of scripting to provide their own Kconfig option values,
for example. Unfortunately, right now, the last such argument on the
command line wins.
This commit therefore makes the --bootargs, --configs, --kconfigs,
--kmake-args, and --qemu-args argument values accumulate. For example,
where "--configs TREE01 --configs TREE02" would previously have run only
scenario TREE02, now it will run both scenarios.

Scripts like kvm-check-branches.sh group runs under a single directory

The "--duration <minutes>" has worked well for a very long time, but
it can be inconvenient to compute the minutes for (say) a 28-hour run.
It can also be annoying to have to let a simple boot test run for a full
minute. This commit therefore permits an "s" suffix to specify seconds,
"m" to specify minutes (which remains the default), "h" suffix to specify
hours, and "d" to specify days.
With this change, "--duration 5" still specifies that each scenario

"--duration 8h" runs for eight hours, and "--duration 2d" runs for
two days.

scftorture.2020.08.24a: Torture tests for smp_call_function() and friends.
|

This commit adds a "--gdb" parameter to kvm.sh, which causes
"CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y" to be added to the Kconfig options, "nokaslr"
to be added to the boot parameters, and "-s -S" to be added to the qemu
arguments. Furthermore, the scripting prints messages telling the user
how to start up gdb for the run in question.
Because of the interactive nature of gdb sessions, only one "--configs"
scenario is permitted when "--gdb" is specified. For most torture types,
this means that a "--configs" argument is required, and that argument
must specify the single scenario of interest.
The usual cautions about breakpoints and timing apply, for example,
staring at your gdb prompt for too long will likely get you many
complaints, including RCU CPU stall warnings. Omar Sandoval further
suggests using gdb's "hbreak" command instead of the "break" command on
systems supporting hardware breakpoints, and further using the "commands"
option because the resulting non-interactive breakpoints are less likely
to get you RCU CPU stall warnings.

When bisecting RCU issues, it is often the case that the first error in
an unsuccessful run will happen quickly, but that a successful run must
go on for some time in order to obtain a sufficiently low false-negative
error rate. In many cases, a bisection requires multiple concurrent
runs, in which case the first failure in any run indicates failure,
pure and simple. In such cases, it would speed things up greatly if
the first failure terminated all runs.
This commit therefore adds scripting that checks for a file named "STOP"
in the top-level results directory, terminating the run when it appears.
Note that in-progress builds will continue until completion, but future
builds and all runs will be cut short.
