Add types for regex and bytes_regex. In Python 3, regular expression
objects differ based on whether they were created with a str or a
bytes instance as the pattern, and can only match against instances of
the corresponding type.
To make sure we always end up using the right version (e.g. pexpect
needs bytes regexes), create functions to do the appropriate
conversions.
We add a missing flush which esures that all data has been synced to
the temporary file before we copy it. Prior to this commit, we would
sometimes miss the last few lines of the trace.
Convert bytes to strings (utf-8 encoding) to make compatible with
Python3 in arm.py
Use the pattern property to extract the string from the regex pattern,
to pass as a string to tty.expect.
Drop problematic characters when decoding stdout and stderr in misc.py
by setting errors='replace' in the string decode method.
We add a TraceCollector which logs the traffic on a serial port. This
can then be used to debug why a board crashes, or to extract extra
information from the device whilst it is running a workload.
Calling `Instrument.reset(kinds='some string')` leaves
`self.active_channels` as `[]` which is probably not the expected
behaviour. This is caused by the last nested `else` which refers to
the condition `if isinstance(kinds, basestring)` and might have been
overlooked because of having been confused with the top-level `else`.
Anyhow, an `else` does not seem to be needed there.
This bug illustrates the risk of having too many nested levels and
execution paths which also impact the readability of the code. We
modify the implementation to solve the bug on top of which we:
- Reduce the maximum order of nested levels from 4 to 3;
- Express more clearly the potential paths of execution
(less nested conditions);
- Replace unnecessary `for`-loops by list comprehensions,
removing the need for an initialisation of `active_channels`
and making clearer what each path of execution ends up with;
- Removed unnecessary `List` copies of `self.channels.values()`;
- Used the fact that the message of a `KeyError` is the unknown
key.
Previously if a device was connected over usb then the adb_connect
method would assume the device was already connected. This can cause
issues when rebooting and the device is not ready by the time devlib
attempts to reconnect to it causing the next command to fail. Now still
only execute the 'connect' command when the device is connected over the
network, however always trying pinging the device to see if it is
connected before returning.
Check /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy0 rather than its parent
during the probe. This is to handle the edge case where cpufreq has
been enabled in the kernel, but no frequency domains have been defined
(in which case, the module should not install).
Previously the path for listing a directory on the device was not quoted
causing it to fail on paths containing spaces. Now ensure the string is
quoted and any quotes contained in the string as escaped.

Add a poller which takes a screenshot at a configurable interval
(`period`). Files are named based on the device timestamp, and are
placed into a configurable output directory.
Update the syntax of the TargetNotRespondingError to conform with the
other exceptions of expecting a full message to be displayed rather than just
a target name.
subprocess.Popen (used internally by check_output) is not thread-safe
and may cause a thread to lock up if called simultaneously from multiple
threads. See
https://bugs.python.org/issue12739
This is fixed in Python 3.2, but since we're currently still on 2.7,
work around the issue by protecting the call with a lock.
Correctly detect whether or not the energy should be calculated from
power or extracted directly. Previously both methods were being used
at the same time, resulting in incorrect total energy values.
The `-e` argument to match logcat output with a regex expression is not
present on older devices. If the target is running pre marshmallow fall
back to pipeing logcat into grep.
gem5 prints a string, to communicate which telnet port can be used to connect
to the gem5 system. The exact string has recently changed. This commit ensures
both the old and new string are taken into account when devlib parses gem5
output to determine the telnet port.
Add an empty implementation, as there is currently no generic way of
detecting boot completion for a random Linux system, and it is
considered to be "fully booted" as soon as it ready to accept
connections.
Previously, commit
commit 17bcabd461b22434db00552056e7de995fc7f498
target: Install busybox before updating modules
moved busybox deployment into Target.connect() so that modules could
make use of it. This means this now happens before AndroidTarget waits
for the boot to complete at the end of its connect(). This means that
an attempt to create the devlib working directory may be made too early.
To get around this, move wait_boot_completed() into Target, and ensure
it returns before attempting to create the working directory.
SerialError does not populate it's message attribute, so the message was
lost when re-raising as HostError. Pass the string representation of
SerialError into HostError instead.
- The autoboot message in the firmware has changed; detect both the old
and the new messages.
- Depending on where exactly the boot was interrupted, either a "reboot"
or a "reset" may be required; so send both.
In recent builds, it seems doing "ip addr list eth0" returns "no such
device" when running as a regular user. Doing so as root, will give the
information on the device.
The stderr of a command is not propagated as part of the command
output. However, some workloads/commands write vital output to
stderr. For this reason, we add an option to invoke which redirects
stderr to stdout (redirect_stderr). This is disabled by default.
The tasks() function allows to get the tasks that are in a cgroup.
Filters for the tasks TID, name and cmdline have been added to the
parameters of the function such that it is possible to select the tasks
that match these patterns.

Previously, when the gem5 simulation crashed, one would get errors
relating to pexpect reaching EOF, rather than an informative message
stating the gem5 itself had crashed. With this change, we catch some
of the common cases where this can happen, and inform the user if gem5
itself has crashed. In the event that the gem5 simulation itself has
not reported an error, we instead re-throw the original pexpect error.
