I used the snowball.conf in a live demo that demonstrated how to use
ktest.pl with a snowball ARM board. I've been asked to included that
config in the ktest repository.
Here it is.

Add the config that I use to test several archs. I downloaded several
cross compilers from:
http://kernel.org/pub/tools/crosstool/files/bin/x86_64/
and this config is an example to crosscompile several archs to make sure
that your changes do not break archs that you are not working on.

I've been asked several times to provide more useful example configs for
ktest.pl, as the sample.conf is too complex (because it explains all
configs). This adds configs broken up by use case, and these configs are
based on actual configs that I use on a daily basis.

If the file that OUTPUT_MIN_CONFIG exists then ktest.pl will prompt the
user and ask them if the OUTPUT_MIN_CONFIG should be used as the
starting point for make_min_config instead of MIN_CONFIG.
This is usually the case, and to allow the user to do so, which is
helpful if the user is creating different min configs based on tests,
and they know one is a superset of another test, they can set
USE_OUTPUT_MIN_CONFIG to one, which will prevent kest.pl from prompting
to use the OUTPUT_MIN_CONFIG and it will just use it.
If USE_OUTPUT_MIN_CONIFG is set to zero, then ktest.pl will continue to
use MIN_CONFIG instead.
The default is that USE_OUTPUT_MIN_CONFIG is undefined.

Add a MIN_CONFIG_TYPE that can be set to 'test' or 'boot'. The default
is 'boot' which is what make_min_config has done previously: makes a
config file that is the minimum needed to boot the target.
But when MIN_CONFIG_TYPE is set to 'test', not only must the target
boot, but it must also successfully run the TEST. This allows the
creation of a config file that is the minimum to boot and also
perform ssh to the target, or anything else a developer wants.

The PRE_BUILD and POST_BUILD options of ktest are added to allow the
user to add temporary patch to the system and remove it on builds. This
is sometimes use to take a change from another git branch and add it to
a series without the fix so that this series can be tested, when an
unrelated bug exists in the series.
The problem comes when a tagged commit is being used. For example, if
v3.2 is being tested, and we add a patch to it, the kernelrelease for
that commit will be 3.2.0+, but without the patch the version will be
3.2.0. This can cause problems when the kernelrelease is determined for
creating the /lib/modules directory. The kernel booting has the '+' but
the module directory will not, and the modules will be missing for that
boot, and may not allow the kernel to succeed.
The fix is to put the creation of the kernelrelease in the POST_BUILD
logic, before it applies the POST_BUILD operation. The POST_BUILD is
where the patch may be removed, removing the '+' from the kernelrelease.
The calculation of the kernelrelease will also stay in its current
location but will be ignored if it was already calculated previously.

The change to let individual tests decide to reboot the machine on
success of the entire test also prevented errors from rebooting
when an error was detected.
The "no_reboot" variable was only cleared if the test had
reboot_on_success set. But the no_reboot variable also prevents the test
rebooting when an error was detected even when REBOOT_ON_ERROR was set.
Add a new "reboot_success" variable that is used to determine if the
test should reboot on success and not touch the no_reboot variable.

When BISECT_REVERSE and BISECT_SKIP are used together with boot or test
testing, build failures are treated as boot or test failures and
'git bisect bad' is executed instead of 'git bisect skip'. This is because
the $ret value of -1 is treated as a build failure, but the $reverse_bisect
logic does not properly handle this.
Simple fix, only invert it if it is positive.

Pull ktest changes from Steven Rostedt.
* tag 'ktest-v3.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-ktest:
ktest: Allow a test to override REBOOT_ON_SUCCESS
ktest: Fix SWITCH_TO_GOOD to also reboot the machine
ktest: Add SCP_TO_TARGET_INSTALL option
ktest: Add warning when bugs are ignored
ktest: Add INSTALL_MOD_STRIP=1 when installing modules
The option REBOOT_ON_SUCCESS is global, and will have the machine reboot
the the box if all tests are successful. But a test may not want the
machine to reboot, and perhaps have the kernel it loaded be used to
install the next kernel. Or the last test may set up a kernel that the
user may want to look at. In this case, the user could have the global
option REBOOT_ON_SUCCESS be true, but if a test is defined to run at the
end, that test can override the global option and keep the kernel it
installed for the user to log in with.

When the option SWITCH_TO_GOOD is set, it will be called when the system
needs to reboot to the good server. But currently, this keeps the reboot
from happening. The SWITCH_TO_GOOD is just a way to get to a new kernel,
it may not mean to not reboot.

Currently the option used to scp both the modules to the target as well
as the kernel image are the same (SCP_TO_TARGET). But some embedded
boards may require them to be different. The modules may need to be put
directly on the board, but the kernel image may need to go to a
tftpserver.
Add the option SCP_TO_TARGET_INSTALL that will allow the user to change
the config so that they may have the modules and image got to different
machines.

When IGNORE_ERRORS is set, ktest will not fail a test if a backtrace
is detected. But this can be an issue if the user added it in the
config but forgot to remove it. They may be left wondering why their
test did not fail, or even worse, why their bisect gave the wrong
commit.
Add a warning in the output if IGNORE_WARNINGS is set, and ktest detects
a kernel error.

While demoing ktest at ELC in 2012, it was embarrassing that the
make_min_config test failed to work because the snowball board I was
testing it against had a config that would not build. But the
make_min_config only tested the testing part and ignored build failures.
The end result was a config file that would not boot.
This time, for real.
* tag 'ktest-fix-make-min-failed-build-for-real' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-ktest:
ktest: Fix make_min_config test when build fails
The make_min_config does not take into account when the build fails,
resulting in a invalid MIN_CONFIG .config file. When the build fails,
it is ignored and the boot test is executed, using the previous built
kernel. The configs that should be tested are not tested and they may
be added or removed depending on the result of the last kernel that
succeeded to be built.
If the build fails, mark the current config as a failure and the
configs that were disabled may still be needed.

When testing a kernel that has warnings, ktest.pl will fail the test
when it sees the warning. If you need to test the the kernel and want
to ignore the errors that are produced, the option IGNORE_ERRORS has
been added. When IGNORE_ERRORS is set to something other than 0, it will
ignore call traces due to WARN_ON().

The REBOOT_TYPE may be either grub or script, if it is script
it is expected that a REBOOT_SCRIPT is defined.
With the SWITCH_TO_TEST which is the complement of SWITCH_TO_GOOD,
which does basically the same thing as REBOOT_SCRIPT and but for
both grub and script, the REBOOT_SCRIPT does not need to be mandatory
anymore.
Do not require the REBOOT_SCRIPT and always run the reboot code
for both grub and script.
