Currently, testing a variant of an existing scenario requires editing
that scenario's file or creating a new scenario file. This is messy
and error prone with respect to changes to scenarios.
This commit therefore adds a --kconfig argument to kvm.sh, so that
'--kconfig "CONFIG_RCU_TRACE=y CONFIG_RCU_EQS_DEBUG=n" will override those
two Kconfig options. In addition, there is now clear precedence:
the config fragment overrides CFcommon, and the --kconfig argument
overrides both.

There is a bug in the verifier's handling of BPF_SUB: [a,b] - [c,d] yields
was [a-c, b-d] rather than the correct [a-d, b-c]. So here is a test
which, with the bogus handling, will produce ranges of [0,0] and thus
allowed accesses; whereas the correct handling will give a range of
[-255, 255] (and hence the right-shift will give a range of [0, 255]) and
the accesses will be rejected.

Some watchdog drivers implement WDIOF_CARDRESET feature. As example,
see commit b6ef36d2c1 ("watchdog: qcom: Report reboot reason").
This option allows reporting to userspace the cause of the last boot
(POR/watchdog reset), being helpful in e.g. automated test-cases.
Add support for WDIOC_GETBOOTSTATUS in the test code, to be able to:
- check if watchdog drivers properly implement WDIOF_CARDRESET.
- check the last boot status, if WDIOF_CARDRESET is implemented.
Make the `-b, --bootstatus` option one-shot. That means, skip the
keepalive mechanism if `-b` is provided on the command line, as we
are only interested in the boot status information.
Tested on Rcar-H3 Salvator-X board:
********************** Cold boot finished
salvator-x:/home/root# ./watchdog-test -h
Usage: ./watchdog-test [options]
-b, --bootstatus Get last boot status (Watchdog/POR)
-d, --disable Turn off the watchdog timer
-e, --enable Turn on the watchdog timer
-h, --help Print the help message
-p, --pingrate=P Set ping rate to P seconds (default 1)
-t, --timeout=T Set timeout to T seconds
Parameters are parsed left-to-right in real-time.
Example: ./watchdog-test -d -t 10 -p 5 -e
salvator-x:/home/root#
salvator-x:/home/root# ./watchdog-test -b
Last boot is caused by: Power-On-Reset.
salvator-x:/home/root#
salvator-x:/home/root# ./watchdog-test -d -t 1 -p 2 -e
Watchdog card disabled.
Watchdog timeout set to 1 seconds.
Watchdog ping rate set to 2 seconds.
Watchdog card enabled.
Watchdog Ticking Away!
********************** Reboot due to watchdog trigger finished
salvator-x:/home/root# ./watchdog-test -b
Last boot is caused by: Watchdog.
salvator-x:/home/root#
salvator-x:/home/root# reboot
********************** Reboot due to user action finished
salvator-x:/home/root# ./watchdog-test -b

Switch from manual argv[] parsing to getopt_long() argument processing.
This creates more readable code and allows easier feature addition.
This also fixes some segmentation faults introduced by
commit 1dbdcc8109 ("selftests: watchdog: accept multiple params on
command line"), when options -t or -p are not given the required value:
./watchdog-test -p 1 -t
./watchdog-test -t 1 -p
No changes are intended in the way watchdog-test interacts with the
kernel. The only noticible changes, tightly related to the addition
of getopt (and done for easier maintenance), are:
- help message has been reworked and migrated to a dedicated function.
- all short/long options and the help message are sorted alphabetically.
- all case statements inside the getopt loop are sorted alphabetically.

Avoiding a loop, so now its quite convenient to ssh to a machine and
then simply do:
# perf trace
To trace all syscalls without causing a loop.
This was possible using --filter-pids, i.e. once you noticed the loop,
get the sshd pid and add it to --filter-pids, restarting the 'perf
trace'.
Now to figure out how to do that in a X terminal, the other common
scenario, which is way more involved, as there are multiple processes
communicating to process terminal activity...
Using --filter-pids + '-e \!syscall,names,you,dont,need' may be a good
approximation when having to do syswide tracing on your workstation.

Previously we only used the syscall_fmt when we had sc->tp_format set,
i.e. when we found the (enter, exit) pair in tracefs/events/syscalls/.
But we really only need to use what is in sc->arg_fmt to apply the arg
beautifiers to the syscall argument values, so do it.
With this we will be able to provide formatters to the "clone" syscall,
which doesn't have entries in tracefs/events/syscalls/.

Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
It is often useful to know the branch types while analyzing branch data.
For example, a call is very different from a conditional branch.
Currently we have to look it up in binary while the binary may later not
be available and even the binary is available but user has to take some
time. It is very useful for user to check it directly in perf report.
Perf already has support for disassembling the branch instruction to get
the x86 branch type.
To keep consistent on kernel and userspace and make the classification
more common, the patch adds the common branch type classification
in perf_event.h.
The patch only defines a minimum but most common set of branch types.
PERF_BR_UNKNOWN : unknown
PERF_BR_COND ：conditional
PERF_BR_UNCOND : unconditional
PERF_BR_IND : indirect
PERF_BR_CALL : function call
PERF_BR_IND_CALL : indirect function call
PERF_BR_RET : function return
PERF_BR_SYSCALL : syscall
PERF_BR_SYSRET : syscall return
PERF_BR_COND_CALL : conditional function call
PERF_BR_COND_RET : conditional function return
The patch also adds a new field type (4 bits) in perf_branch_entry
to record the branch type.
Since the disassembling of branch instruction needs some overhead,
a new PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_TYPE_SAVE is introduced to indicate if it
needs to disassemble the branch instruction and record the branch
type.
Change log:
v10: Not changed.
v9: Not changed.
v8: Change PERF_BR_NONE to PERF_BR_UNKNOWN.
No other change.
v7: Just keep the most common branch types.
Others are removed.
v6: Not changed.
v5: Not changed. The v5 patch series just change the userspace.
v4: Comparing to previous version, the major changes are:
1. Remove the PERF_BR_JCC_FWD/PERF_BR_JCC_BWD, they will be
computed later in userspace.
2. Remove the "cross" field in perf_branch_entry. The cross page
computing will be done later in userspace.
