      ktest: Add BISECT_TRIES to bisect test · 961d9cac
      Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) authored
      
      For those cases that it takes several tries to hit a bug, it would be
      useful for ktest.pl to try a test multiple times before it considers
      the test as a pass. To accomplish this, BISECT_TRIES ktest config
      option has been added. It is default to one, as most of the time a
      bisect only needs to try a test once. But the user can now up this
      to make ktest run a given test multiple times. The first failure
      that is detected will set a bisect bad. It only repeats on success.
      
      Note, as with all race bugs, there's no guarantee that if it succeeds,
      it is really a good bisect. But it helps in case the bug is somewhat
      reliable.
      
      You can set BISECT_TRIES to zero, and all tests will be considered
      good, unless you also set BISECT_MANUAL.

      ktest: Add eval '=~' command to modify variables in config file · c75d22d9

      With the added variable ${KERNEL_VERSION}, it is useful to be
      able to use parts of it for other variables.
      
      For example, if you want to create a warnings file for each major
      kernel version to test sub versions against you can create
      your warnings file with like this:
      
        WARNINGS_FILE = warnings-file-${KERNEL_VERSION}
      
      But this may add 3.8.12 or something, and we want all 3.8.* to
      use the same file, and 3.10.* to use another file, and so on.
      With the eval command we can, by adding:
      
        WARNINGS_FILE =~ s/(-file-\d+\.\d+).*/$1/
      
      Which will chop off the extra characters after the 3.8.
