cpustate result processor generates a view of the cpu subsystem power
state during execution of a workload from cpu_idle and cpu_frequency
ftraces. There exists a period before the first events in those
categories are seen where the state of the cpu subsystem is (partially)
unknown and it is reported as such by the result processor.
Unknown state usually exists for a relatively short period of time and
is generally not a big deal. For certain kinds of workloads, however, it
may constitude a significant protion of the trace.
Changes in this commit attempt to deal with this by a) reading starting
cpu frequencies and writing them into the trace, and b) nudging each
core to bring it out of idle; this happens before the start marker, so
that the system state between the markers should be completely known.
In order to execute as root, the command string gets echo'd into so;
previusly, double quotes were used in echo, which caused any veriables
in the command string to be expanded _before_ it was echoed.
- Compiled regular expressions in EVENT_PARSER_MAP now get handled
correctly.
- regex_body_parser now attemts to convert field values to ints,
bringing it inline with the default parser behavior.
- There is now a regex for sched_switch events.
- adb protcol uses "\r\n" for line breaks. This is not handled by
Python's line break translation, as not a file. So spliting on '\n'
when extracting the exit code resulted in stray '\r' in the output.
- adb_shell expects exit code to be echoed on the same line. This may
not have been the case if latest output from executed command was not
a complete line. An extra echo will now ensure that the exit code will
be on its own line even in that case.
- Allowed telnet connections without a password.
This is required as part of the upcoming Gem5Device, which uses a
password-less telnet connection to communicate with the device.
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.
Background processes may produce output on STDOUT. This could get
captured when obtaining the result of "echo $?" to get previos command's
exit code. So it's not safe to assume that output will always be an int.
Attempt to strip out superflous output before doing the int conversion
and, on failure, log a warning but don't error out.
list_or_* functions (e.g. list_or_string) will now always return a list,
however will accept lists or indivitual values. Also added a list_or()
generator function, similar to what already exists for list_of().
- Do not try to use a pager if it explicitly disabled with PAGER='' in
the environment.
- If terminal size is identified as (0, 0), fall back to default (80,
25).
Since a command would still be running on time out, it would prevent
issuing subsequent commands in the same SSH shell, make it look like
the device has become unresponsive.
If a timeout condition is his, send ^C to kill the current foreground
process and make the shell available for subsequent commands.
