add build config and test-plan for PREEMPT_RT #475

khilman · 2020-08-25T20:02:47Z

Add minimal set of build configurations, including PREEMPT_RT=y config for the rt-stable branches.
Also add a test-plan based on LAVA test-definition from Daniel Wagner's fork of LInaro test-definition repo.

NOTE: PR currently based on the kselftest PR #445 due to conflicts in adding test-plan to test-configs and lab-configs.

Things to fix

move parameters to device-specific part of test-configs (e.g. num threads will be SoC specific)

broonie · 2020-08-25T20:04:57Z

Makes sense to me.

khilman · 2020-08-25T23:02:32Z

Manually triggered LAVA job: https://lava.baylibre.com/scheduler/job/31249
and results on staging: https://staging.kernelci.org/test/plan/id/5f4581c91902afaf5f544a7b/

@gctucker something kind of curious. The frontend shows some of the results as unknown, but the LAVA_SIGNAL sent says fail. Here's the relevant part of the LAVA job log:

@khilman Yes that's because tests that have always been reporting a "FAIL" are not considered as regressions. It's an artifact of the UI in the frontend, we should show the status differently to reflect failures that aren't regressions. Something like this maybe:

Green check: pass
Orange cross: always failed
Red cross: regression
Grey question mark: unknown

That deserves an issue in kernelci-frontend.

gctucker

A few minor things - and yes that will need to be rebased once #445 has been merged. Or, the dependency could be inverted if we wanted to merge this first and then #445 with kselftests.

build-configs.yaml

gctucker · 2020-09-01T08:26:43Z

build-configs.yaml

+    configs:
+      - 'CONFIG_EXPERT=y'
+      - 'CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=y'
+      - 'CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT_FULL=y' # <= v4.19


I guess it won't hurt to have this config in the fragment with newer kernel, as it should just result in a warning from merge_config.sh. If however we start having strict checks and all the config options must appear in the resulting .config then we would need to create a separate fragment, e.g. preempt_rt_4.19 with that RT_FULL config option and the default one without it.

khilman · 2020-09-16T15:35:16Z

Fixed alphabetical order issues mentioned above and rebased onto master now that kselftest is merged.
Should be ready for broader testing in staging now.

gctucker · 2020-09-16T15:54:53Z

Great, the PR had been conflicting for a while so let's hope this gets tested in the next staging job.

gctucker · 2020-09-16T15:57:43Z

templates/preempt-rt/preempt-rt.jinja2

+      path: inline/preempt-rt-prereq.yaml

+    - repository: https://github.com/igaw/test-definitions.git


We should be getting those test definitions from kernelci/test-definitions now, with the kernelci.org branch. Let's get a couple of staging jobs to run with this repo first but then we would need to get it changed before deploying in production.

I don't think we'll get any runs on staging because there are no rt-stable trees built in staging. Maybe you add rt-stable v5.4 at least temporarily?

Looks like I need to switch to the kernelci repo right now. Daniel submitted his stuff upstream and removed his preempt-rt branch.

Starting tree monitor jobs for some stable-rt build configs manually is fine for now, we shouldn't be building that all the time as it's a significant load. If we do want to keep testing real-time on staging, we should make a special build config i.e. kernelci_staging-rt or pull from stable-rt into the kernelci staging kernel branch.

test-configs.yaml

khilman · 2020-09-17T17:31:05Z

Updated to use test-definitions repo/branch from kernelci, and dropped rootfs pattern based on comments.

9223372036854776000us lacenty? That's 292271 years :p

I don't know what went wrong, looks like an unsigned integer overflow. What is in the original LAVA results? That would help narrow down the problem, between LAVA, kernelci-backend or kernelci-frontend.

khilman · 2020-09-17T20:48:17Z

The results sent to the backend match the results from LAVA: https://lava.baylibre.com/scheduler/job/117611#L1293

So this looks like a cyclictest issue, not something related to the test-definition or this PR. IMO, we can merge this and then get rt-tests folks like Daniel Wagner to have a look.

gctucker · 2020-09-17T20:58:08Z

Great, thanks for confirming.

How about the item in the description to add parameters such as number of threads?

khilman · 2020-09-17T21:18:19Z

How about the item in the description to add parameters such as number of threads?

I meant for that to be a future work item as more platforms are added, not a prereq for this PR.

khilman · 2020-09-17T21:22:32Z

Here's some results from the khadas-vim3l (arm64: 2x A53): https://lava.baylibre.com/scheduler/job/118418#L1361

Those look more normal than the odroid-n2 (arm64: big.LITTLE 2x A53, 4x A72)

Looks like something to add to the rootfs image as a follow-up - either buster-rt if we want to keep adding test suites for real-time, if not this could be added to the basic buster one to avoid rootfs proliferation.

Yes, this can be done if/when creating a test-plan specific rootfs.

1) add config fragments for building RT-enabled kernels for the rt-stable tree and branches. 2) Add preempt_rt_variant for minimal set of builds. Based on minimal_variant, and adds preempt_rt fragment. 3) Add v4.19-rt and v5.4-rt branches Signed-off-by: Kevin Hilman <khilman@baylibre.com>

Add preempt-rt test-plan based on the Linaro test-definitions repo. Uses vanilla KernelCI debian buster NFS root filesystem, and installs rt-tests (and dependencies) via apt-get before running the test plan. Signed-off-by: Kevin Hilman <khilman@baylibre.com>
