Tims 0day notes
0day is a performance and regression test system developed by Fengguan Wu of Intel's open source development center.
Puts each test (named a 'job') into a yaml file
command line [edit section]
lkp is a command line tool for executing a testsome command line options are:
- lkp install <test_package>
- ls $LKP_SRC/jobs to see available jobs
- lkp split-job <test_package>
- lkp run
- lkp result <testname>
test yaml file [edit section]
Here's what a test looks like:From the file tbench.yaml
suite: tbench testcase: tbench category: benchmark # upto 40% CPU cycles may be used by latency stats disable_latency_stats: 1 nr_threads: 100% cluster: cs-localhost if role server: tbench-server: if role client: tbench:
In the 'pkg' directory are some PKGBUILD files. This appears to be the package file format for Arch Linux. see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PKGBUILD
Each test has a 'maker script' that tells how to build and install the test program. See pack/ebizzy for an example.
directory structure [edit section]
Here is the directory structure for lkp-tests:- allot
- bin
- cluster
- daemon
- distro
- doc
- etc
- filters
- hosts
- include
- jobs - has parameters for a particular execution of the test program (similar to fuegos specs and plans)
- lib
- lkp-exec
- monitors
- pack - has the maker script which does the fetch, build, install for a test program
- params
- pkg
- plot
- repo
- rootfs
- sbin
- setup
- spec
- stats - has the results parser for each test - output is JSON
- tests - has the main test script for each test
- tmp
- tools
dependency processing [edit section]
- in lkp-tests/tests/pack-dep - check_shared_package
- in jobs/ftrace_onoff.yaml:need_memory: 2G
- in jobs/phoronix-test-suite-needx.yaml:need_x true
- in include/ndctl:need_kernel_headers: true
- in include/ltp:need_kconfig: CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP
- in filters/need_cpu: if (( need_cpu > nr_cpu )); then
- in jobs/README.md: need_*
The file include/kernel_selftests has the following content:
need_kernel_headers: true need_kconfig: - CONFIG_TEST_FIRMWARE - CONFIG_TEST_BPF - CONFIG_TEST_USER_COPY - CONFIG_MEMORY_NOTIFIER_ERROR_INJECT - CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_SPARSE=y - CONFIG_NOTIFIER_ERROR_INJECTION - CONFIG_FTRACE=y
test execution [edit section]
job.yaml files are converted into job.sh files for execution by sbin/job2sh.Items in the yaml file are converted either to environment variables, or to references to setup scripts or test scripts.
See jobs/README.md for details.
monitors [edit section]
Monitors are located in <top_dir>/monitors.Each one is a shell script. Many are wrappers around existing tools, the output of which is used for the monitor output.
They often use a library <topdir>/lib/wait.sh.
When executed with no interval, they take a snapshot before and after the test.
When executed with an interval, they take a snapshot at the specified interval.
Here's an example, from cpuidle:
#!/bin/sh # - interval [ -f /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpuidle/state0/name ] || exit 0 take_snapshot() { echo time: $(date +%s.%N) for dir in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpuidle/state*/ do cpu=${dir#/sys/devices/system/cpu/} cpu=${cpu%/*} read state_name < $dir/name read state_time < $dir/time read state_usage < $dir/usage echo $cpu.${state_name}.time: ${state_time} echo $cpu.${state_name}.usage: ${state_usage} done } file=$(basename $0) . $LKP_SRC/lib/wait.sh setup_wait if [ -z "$interval" ]; then take_snapshot wait_post_test take_snapshot exit fi while : do take_snapshot wait_timeout $interval done
