Although WA supports automatic updating during parsing of a serialized `kernel_config` from devlib, if the installed versions of WA and devlib have become out of sync where WA has "updated" the old implementation it will not attempt to update it again when devlib is later updated to use the new implementation and therefore will not trigger the existing checks that are in place.
Workload Automation
+++++++++++++++++++
Workload Automation (WA) is a framework for executing workloads and collecting
measurements on Android and Linux devices. WA includes automation for nearly 40
workloads and supports some common instrumentation (ftrace, hwmon) along with a
number of output formats.
WA is designed primarily as a developer tool/framework to facilitate data driven
development by providing a method of collecting measurements from a device in a
repeatable way.
WA is highly extensible. Most of the concrete functionality is implemented via
plug-ins, and it is easy to write new plug-ins to support new device types,
workloads, instruments or output processing.
