[PATCH] rtla: add tests for tracefs instance cleanup

[PATCH] rtla: add tests for tracefs instance cleanup

[Chaosheng Qu]

rtla creates one of four tracefs instances per run (osnoise_top,
osnoise_hist, timerlat_top, timerlat_hist) and removes it on exit. A
cleanup failure only shows up as the next run failing with -EEXIST or
stale tracer state. tests/engine.sh already removes leftover instances
before each test, so the failure mode is known but not tested.

Add cleanup.t and a helper script covering the abnormal exits: SIGINT,
SIGTERM, the -d timer, a failing --on-threshold shell action, and three
interrupted runs followed by a normal run.

rtla did not handle SIGTERM, so killing it left the tracefs instance
behind. Install stop_trace as the SIGTERM handler, matching SIGINT and
the -d timer.

The helper needs to start rtla in the background and signal it, which
engine.sh's foreground check() cannot express. cleanup.t drives the
helper and emits the TAP result itself.

The test needs root, a writable tracefs and CONFIG_OSNOISE_TRACER. It
skips when any of those are missing. The action-failure case also skips
if the stop-total threshold is not crossed, since an idle machine may
never generate a sample above the limit.

Re: [PATCH] rtla: add tests for tracefs instance cleanup

[Chaosheng Qu]

Thanks, the four points split into test-harness bugs and one test premise
that I over-claimed. The series is fixed locally; details below.

1. SKIP was swallowed

cleanup.t now emits a TAP "# SKIP" line when the helper logs SKIP, instead
of reporting a plain "ok". The helper also treats a missing tracefs, a
non-writable tracefs, or a missing CONFIG_OSNOISE_TRACER as SKIP rather
than a failure.

2. SIGINT race and leaked process

The repeated-interrupt case now waits for the tracefs instance to appear
before sending SIGINT, and verifies that it disappears after each run. The
SIGINT case also reaps the background rtla when the instance never
appeared. The helper is run under the suite timeout, so a stuck wait cannot
hang forever.

I also added SIGTERM to set_signals()/unset_signals() in common.c. Before
this, rtla only handled SIGINT and SIGALRM, so SIGTERM left the instance
behind. The test now checks that path instead of recording it as a known
issue.

3. Missing exit-code checks / action case

The self-timeout case now requires exit 0, and the action case requires exit
2 (the mismatched-action result). The action case uses -S, the stop-total
threshold, and skips if that threshold was not crossed. An idle machine may
not generate a sample above 1 us; that is a property of the workload, not a
cleanup result.

4. Unused TIMEOUT / reset_osnoise / dead code

run_cleanup_cases() now calls reset_osnoise and uses $TIMEOUT. The unused
check_instances_absent() helper is gone.

The series is based on 2f2f7eeef8b0a1a9b9ca998231419873ccae8d4e and is
commit 455d304ece2a938d0148a908c83f1774d4dbf298. I ran bash -n and
checkpatch.pl locally. The host has no writable tracefs, so the suite
reports SKIP here rather than a real pass.

The patch is attached.

Thanks,
Chaosheng

[PATCH] rtla: add tests for tracefs instance cleanup

[Chaosheng Qu]

rtla creates a tracefs instance per run (osnoise_top, osnoise_hist,
timerlat_top, timerlat_hist) and is expected to remove it again on the way
out. Nothing verifies that today, so a cleanup regression would only show up
as a confusing failure of the *next* run: tracefs_instance_create() can fail
with -EEXIST, and an interrupted run can leave stale tracer state behind.

tests/engine.sh already works around this by rmdir-ing leftover instances
before every test ("remove any dangling instances created by improperly
exited rtla runs"), which shows the gap is known but untested.

Add a test for the abnormal-exit paths that are actually hit in practice:

  - SIGINT during a run (interactive Ctrl-C)
  - rtla's own -d/--duration timer
  - a failing --on-threshold shell action
  - several interrupted runs in a row, followed by a normal run

These need rtla running in the background while the test signals it, which
engine.sh's check() (a single foreground command) cannot express, so the new
cleanup.t drives a helper script and emits TAP itself.

SIGTERM is covered too, but reported as a TAP TODO comment: rtla installs
handlers for SIGINT and SIGALRM only, so SIGTERM terminates the process
without running the cleanup path and leaks the instance. Keeping it visible
rather than turning it into a pass means a future regression in the paths
that *do* work is still caught. Once SIGTERM is handled, drop the TODO
comment and the case becomes a plain assertion.

The test needs root, tracefs and CONFIG_OSNOISE_TRACER, and skips cleanly
when tracefs is not mounted writable.
