Failed jobs will now be automatically retired. This is controlled by two
new settings:
retry_on_status - a list of statuses which will be consided failures and
result in a retry
max_retries - number of retries before giving up
It is now possible to generate agendas for a set of extensions with
wa create agenda ext1 ext2 ext3 -o output.yaml
Confiuration will include all parameters for those extensions with
default values.
Dynamic modules may be loaded automatically on device initialization if
the device supports them. Dynamic modules implent probe() method to
determine whether they are supported by a particular deviced.
devcpufreq and cpuidle have been converted into dynamic modules
- standardisded on a single context argument
- removed Device.init() no longer necessary as initilize now
automatically gets propagated up the hierarchy. Renamed the existing
use of it to "initilize".
- related pylint cleanup.
uname is not available on all Android devices, and we cannot rely on
busybox for establishing the ABI, as we need to get the ABI before we
can depoly the right version of busybox.
Added -p option to the list command. This alows filtering results by
supported platforms, e.g.
wa list workloads -p linux
Also adding missing supported_platforms attribute to various extensions.
If an extension does not have this attribute, the assumption is that it
is supported by all available platforms.
In previous versions of Android, "mount" returned output in the format
similar to fstab entries, which is what list_file_systems expected. This
fixes it to be able to handle the more traditional "mount" output in the
format
<device> on <mount point> type <fs type> <options>
as well as continue to parse the Android output correctly.
Adding global aliases to parameters to fix old configs that still used
the deprecated "<ext name>_<param name>" format for specifying parameter
values.
- added initialze and finalize methods to workloads, which were the only
major extension types that did not have them
- Semanatics for initialize/finalize for *all* Extensions are changed so
that now they will always run at most once per run. They will not be
executed twice even if invoke via istances of different subclasses (if
those subclasses defined their own verions, then their versions will
be invoked once each, but the base version will only get invoked
once).
In both cases, the ABI is now obtained by executing "uname -m" on the
device and perfroming a mapping from the returned machine architecture
a known ABI. If no known ABI is found the architecture string itself is
returned.
- add IterationResult-level classifiers that get merged into every
added metric (saves having to pass the same classifiers to each
metric added).
- Added a global alias to csv result processor's use_all_classifiers
attribute.
- updated energy_model to accept dhrystone as well as sysbench as
the workload
- added "threads" parameter to sysbench (basically, an alias for
"num_threads") to be consistent with dhrystone
- added "taskset_mask" parameter to dhrystone to allow pinning
it to specific cores.
