Replace the ad-hoc get_plugin() function in the show command (which was
broken for aliases) with a call to pluginloader.get_plugin_class(),
which correctly handles alias resolution.
- expose pluginloader's resolve_alias in plugin_cache (it's supposed
to be a transparent proxy for pluginloader).
- resolve aliases inside _set_plugin_defaults() to make sure the
correct defaults are used when creating job specs.
Expose the RebootPolicy as an attribute of the ExectionContext and ensure
that that the target is not automatically rebooted if the reboot
policy is set to "Never".
Rename the parameter to be clearer on the effect of the policy, as this
will cause WA to reset the device for each new job it runs regardless of
the iteration number.
We only need to deploy the gui once, therefore move the `deploy` method
call into `initialize` the corresponding `remove` method is already in
`finalize`.
Previously the `once_per_instance` used the output of `__repr__` to
identify the class of where the decorated method was called from. For
classes that override this method to produce the same output for
different instances of the same class this caused different instances to
be mistakenly treated as one. Now use the hash of the containing class
instead of the string representation and update the tests to catch this
error.
- Move output processing API docs into developer reference.
- Add a section on output directory structure to user reference.
- Rewrite the output section of the user guide to provide a very
brief overview of the output directory and to link to the two
sections above.
Update workloads that allow for specifying which cpus to be ran on to
all use the same interface while maintaining backwards compatibility with
the existing configuration options.
Add a cpu_mask type to allow for users to use a consistent way of representing a
cpus mask with properties to provide conversions between the various required
forms. The mask can be specified directly as a mask, as a list of cpus indexes
or a sysfs-style string.
Also add support for the type to be serialized/deserialzed for the json
and yaml serializers.
Add cpustates output processor. This is more-or-less a port of the
cpustates processor from WA, however there are some differences:
- Idle states are now tracked individually per-CPU. This will fix
processing traces from targets that have different number of idle
states on different clusters.
- Simplify the parameter list for report_power_stats:
- Replace paths to individual report files with a path to a single
directory. A subdirectory will be created under it which will
contain all the reports.
- Replace the individual bits bits of information about CPUs (core
names, idle states, etc) with a list of CpuInfo objects.
- Clean up and simplify the code a bit:
- Make all reports mandatory -- the marginal cost of generating
an additional report is minimal compared to tracking power states
in the first place.
- Standardize the interface for Reporters and Reports.
- Rename some of the reports to something a bit more meaningful.
- The stand-alone command line interface is not ported for now, as it
is now possible to run this offline on existing results using
"wa process".
