Hello,

Here is a series of patches for improving ftracetest testcase using gcov/lcov. It is still in progress, and I have got good improvement of line/function coverage under kernel/trace with this series. (Note that this kernel enables ftrace startup tests)

Without this series Lines: 10156 17200 59.0 % Functions: 1069 1772 60.3 %

With this series Lines: 11130 17200 64.7 % Functions: 1185 1772 66.9 %

Of course we don't need to make it 100%, because ftracetest is a function/specification test, and there are functions and lines which never be called (like critical error detection :) ). Also, ftrace has some amount of code for perf and bpf subsystem which should be tested by perf/bpf tests. However, GCOV(LCOV) gives us a good insight into which functions are covered or not covered by the test cases.

This series has some ftracetest framework improvements too, which are for debugging ftracetest itself.

Tracing/Gcov-kernel: - Add CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_FRACE, which enables gcov profiling only on tracing subsystem (under kernel/trace/). This may not needed for everyone (like a debugging feature). So it can be dropped anyway.

Ftracetest framework improvements: - Add --stop-fail for detecting failure soon. - Add --console for interactively debugging a testcase by shell. - Add testcase-number prefix to logfile for finding log easier. - Improve general init function - Call general init function after all testcases. - Remove init/cleanup code from all testcase (since general init function will fixed it up)

Testcase fixes: - Fix to check $comm availability. - Make checkbashisms clean

Testcase improvements: - Use loopback address instead of localhost - Improve kprobe on module testcase to load/unload module - Improve kprobe testcase to check log data - Improve kretprobe testcase to check log data - Test kprobe-event argument with various bitsize - Check set_event_pid result

Adding testcases: - Add kprobe event with $comm argument testcase - Add kprobe profile testcase - Add kprobe-event with symbol argument test - Add nop tracer testcase - Add trace_printk sample module testcase - Add ringbuffer size changing testcase - Add function profiling statistics testcase - Add max stack tracer testcase - Add function filter on module testcase - Add trace_pipe testcase

TBD: Following testcase improvements are remaining. - Checking of various supported types (like u8, u64 etc.) testcases - Filter actions for ftrace testcases

Thank you,
