Make sure when migrating sshd to root cgroup also migrate their
children, including the bash for the wa session. So the subsequent
processes kicked off from that shell can be taskset to any cluster.
Matplotlib defautls to the GTK backend. This can cause problems when
running in a headless session (e.g. over SSH). Since energy_model
istrument generates PNG plots, rather than rendering directly to UI, it
doesn't actually need GTK; set backend to AGG so that energy_model works
in headless environments.
This instrument can be used to generate an energy model for a device
based on collected power and performance measurments. The instrument
produces a C file with an energy model and an accompanying HTML report.
This instrument is very different from other instrumentation, as it
actually generates the run queue on the fly based on the operating
frequencies and idle states it discovers on the device. The agenda needs
only to contain the single "base" spec that defines the workload to be
used for performance measurement.
cpuidle module implements cpuidle state discovery, query and
manipulation for a Linux device. This replaces the more primitive
get_cpuidle_states method of LinuxDevice.
Renamed APIs (and added a couple of new ones) to be more consistent:
"core" APIs take a core name as the parameter (e.g. "a15") or whatever
is listed in core_names for that device.
"cluster" APIs take a numeric cluster ID (eg. 0) as the parameter. These
get mapped using core_clusters for that device.
"cpu" APIs take a cpufreq cpu ID as a parameter. These could be
integers, e.g. 0, or full string id, e.g. "cpu0".
integer and boolen are defined in wlauto.utils.types; they perform more
intuitive conversions from other types, particularly strings, so are
more suitable than int and bool for parameters. If, for whatever reason,
native types are in fact desired for a Parameter, this behavior can be
supressed by specifying convert_types=False when defining the parameter.
- list_to_range and range_to_list convert between lists of integers
and corresponding range strings, e.g. between [0,1,2,4] and '0-2,4'
- list_to_mask and mask_to_list convert between lists of integers and
corresponding integer masks, e.g. between [0,1,2,4] and 0x17

- added caseless_string type. This behaves exactly like a string, except
this ignores case in comparisons. It does, however, preserve case. E.g.
>>> s = caseless_string('Test')
>>> s == 'test'
True
>>> print s
Test
- added list_of type generating function. This allows to dynamically
generate type-safe list types based on an existing type. E.g.
>>> list_of_bool = list_of(bool)
>>> list_of_bool(['foo', 0, 1, '', True])
[True, False, True, False, True]
- Update core_names Device Parameter to be of type caseless_string
- added the ability to run based on time, rather than number of
requests.
- added a parameter to taskset to specific core(s).

A "please rate me" dialog occasionally pops but when returning to the
initial screen (when re-running the test). The check to dismiss it
wasn't being done at the right time, so it was still preventing
mutli-times execution. This commit resolves that issue.
"times" parameter didn't work properly for version 5 because an extra
back button press was required due to UI changes from previous versions.
This commit adds the button press.
On some systems the temporary directory may still be "busy" after WA is
don't with it. Since it's just an empty dir and it will be reused on the
subsequent runs; do check if rm -rf succeeded.
When the merging logic was updated to preserve duplicates within the
same list, it inadvertently broke the logic that removed items marked
for removal with a '~'. This commit rectifies that.
Note to self: merging functions are doing *way* to much; they should be
refactored into several individual function and config should be
resolved in distinct stages.
If list parameter values contained duplicates, those got removed when
merging parameter values from different sources. This commit fixes that
behavor, so that duplcates that appear within the *same* list are
preserved.
Keep duplicates in lists when merging device_config dict from agenda
with the rest of the config; This will ensure that core_name sand
core_clusters aren't reduced to just unique elements.
