When globbing=True, the source is interpreted as a globbing pattern on
the target and is expanded before pulling the files or folders.
This also aligns the behaviour of all targets:
* adb connection was supported a limited form of globbing by default
(only on the last component of the path)
* SCP was supporting a limited form of globbing
* GEM5 was not supporting globbing at all
* paramiko was not supporting globbing at all
Also fix a race condition on push/pull as root, where pushing/pulling
the same file from multiple threads would have ended up using the same
temporary file.
Update the documentation to indicated which module each class is
located. This allows the documentation to be referenced from other
modules as well as enabling links to the source code directly from the
documentation.
The `AndroidTarget` class should not depend on ADB specific commands as
is is possible to use this target with other connection types e.g. ssh.
Therefore move the adb specific commands into the `AdbConnection`.
- `wait_for_device` and `reboot_bootloader` are now exposed in AndroidTarget
as generic methods and call through to the connection method.
- `adb_kill_server` is now a standalone function of the AdbConnection.
Same as write_value(), but returns a context manager that will write
back the old value on exit.
Also add batch_revertable_write_value() that takes a list of kwargs
dict, and will call revertable_write_value() on each of them, returning
a single combined context manager.
Add system_id attribute to targets. This ID is supposed unique for a
combination of hardware, kernel, and the file system, and contains
elements from each.
1. Hardware is identified by the concatenation of MAC addresses of
'link/ether' network interfaces on the system. This method is used,
as DMI tables are often unimplemented on ARM targets.
2. The kernel is identified by its version.
3. The file system is identified by the concatenation of UUID's of the
target's partitions. It would be more correct to only use UUID of
the root partition, as system_id is not intended to be affected by
removable, media, however, there is no straight-forward way of
reliably identifying that without root.
system_id is intended to be used as an key for the purposes of caching
information about a particular device (e.g. so that it does not need to
be probed on each run).
Add two new methods to target that allow querying values of all sysfs
nodes in a sub-directory structure all at once. The difference is that
read_tree_values_flat returns a flat dict of path->value mappings;
read_tree_values returns a nested dict structure that mimics the
scanned sub-directories tree.
