Rename the `start` method to `run` as this is what is what is called
by the threading module's `start` method, otherwise this causes the
polling to be done in the main thread blocking execution.
Add support for loading plugins from packages that register themselves
with WA by writing their names into $WA_USER_DIRECTORY/packages.
This is functionality that existed in WA2 and was omitted in WA3 until
now.
Output processor names are converted to identifiers when they are
loaded. Ensure the same thing happens when looking up installed output
processors with get_output_processor().
In devlib the default working directory has changed causing the workload
to look in the wrong directory, now the workload should use the passed
working directory and extract the relevant name from there.
Both the instrument and utility functions were called `trace-cmd.py`.
`"-"`'s are not valid python identifiers therefore when trying to import
the `trace-cmd` module this causes an error.
- Add an option to the poller binary insert a marker into ftrace that
aligns with the first output entry. The option is exposed as an
instrument parameter.
- If this parameter is set, the resulting .csv will be post-processed to
update the timestamps to align with trace-cmd output.
- Change poller artifact names to use - instead of _ to be consistent
with trace-cmd artifact naming.
Pandas is already widely used in WA and devlib for fast numerical table
manipulation in various instruments and output processors. Up to this
point, it has been an optional dependency.
Over the last couple of years, the package has become very wide spread,
and is available in repos for virtually every major distro. There is now
little reason not to require it as a mandatory dependency.
Allows setting of select android runtime configuration for devices running
chromeos and which support android. Currently only 'brightness' is functioning
correctly therefore the other parameters are only enable for standard android devices.
Previously when validating cpufreq runtime parameters it would check too
early whether the cpu was online, not allowing for the fact that the cpu
might be being onlined before the parameter was committed to the device.
To improve reproducibility of tests, it could help to ensure that the
same screen orientation is used on media playback.
This adds a new workload parameter which allows to ensure a LANDSCAPE
mode, which can be useful to better represent video playback scenarios.
When not enforced by the agenda, we enforce a PORTRAIT orientation.

Fix the setting of runtime parameters when the casing of the parameter in
the agenda does not match the "canonical" casing.
To make the writing of agendas easier, the casing of the parameters is
supposed to be ignored. To achieve this, parameter names are converted to
caseless_string type before they are looked up.
caseless_string's do not work with dicts. Both __contains__ (used for
the "in" operator) and __getitem__ (used for the [] operator) implement
hash-based look up, and it is not possible to have a caseless_string
match against multiple hashes to cover the different casing
possibilities.
So instead, iterate over the items in parameters dict, comparing the
caseless_string name to the key, and returning the value if it matches.
On some devices an installed apk filepath can contain an '=' character
which was previously used to end the regex match. Now match with the
package name as well to ensure the file path is extracted correctly.
Uses os.eviron as the default environment for creation of a
MetaConfiguration object, this allows an instance to be created without
providing any parameters and fixes re-creating an instance from pod.
Changed location of revent binary on target to be a class attribute so that
it is shared across all instances. Also changed discovery method to a
static method which can be memoized to prevent the target being queried
unnecessarily.
