When ktest.pl is called without any arguments, or if the config
file does not exist, ktest.pl will ask the user for some information.
Some of these questions are code paths. Allowing the user to type
${PWD} for the current directory greatly simplifies these entries.
Add variable processing to the entered values.

Adding the variable ${PWD} that equals `pwd` makes the config files

On some tests that do multiple boots (patchcheck, bisect, etc), the build
of the next kernel to run may finish before the stable kernel has finished
booting. Then the install of the new kernel will fail when it tries to connect
as the machine has not finished the boot process.
Do one more monitor flush to make sure the machine is up and running before
trying to connect to it again.

When setting the next kernel to boot to with grub, do not opencode
the reboot operation. The normal reboot operation can be modified by
config options (namely POWERCYCLE_AFTER_REBOOT). This needs to affect
all reboots. Remove the opencoded reboot to make sure that any changes
to the reboot code also affect all reboots.

The order for some of the keywords on a section line
(TEST_START or DEFAULTS) does not really matter. Simply need
to remove the keyword from the line as we process it and
evaluate the next keyword in the line. By removing the keywords
as we find them, we do not need to keep track of where on the
line they were found.

The make_min_config test will turn off one config at a time and check
if the config boots or not, and if it does, it will remove that config
plus any config that depended on that config.
ktest already looks if a config has a dependency and will try the
dependency config first. But by sorting the configs and trying the
config with the most configs dependent on it, we can shrink the
minconfig faster.

The OVERRIDE keyword will allow options defined in the given
DEFAULTS section to override options defined in previous DEFAULT
sections.
Normally, options will error if they were previous defined.
The OVERRIDE keyword allows options that have been previously
defined to be changed in the given section.
Note, the same option can not be defined in the same DEFAULT section
even if that section is marked as OVERRIDE.

Add IF keyword to sections within the config. Also added an ELSE
keyword that allows different config options to be set for a given
section.
For example:
TYPE := 1
STATUS := 0
DEFAULTS IF ${TYPE}
[...]
ELSE IF ${STATUS}
[...]
ELSE
[...]
The above will process the first section as $TYPE is true. If it
was false, it would process the last section as $STATUS is false.

The MIN_CONFIG is a single config that is considered to have all the
configs that are required to boot the box.
ADD_CONFIG is a list of configs that we add that may contain configs
known to be broken (set off) or just configs that we want every box to
have and this can include shared configs.
If a config has no MIN_CONFIG defined, but has multiple files defined
for the ADD_CONFIG, the test will die, because the MIN_CONFIG will
default to ADD_CONFIG. The problem is the code to open MIN_CONFIG
expects a string of one file, not multiple, and the open will fail.
Since the real minconfig that is used is a concatination of MIN_CONFIG
and ADD_CONFIG files, we change the code to open that instead of
whatever MIN_CONFIG defaults to.

The IGNORE_CONFIG file holds the configs that we don't want to change
(with their proper settings). But on start up, the make noconfig is
executed, and the configs that are on are also put into the ignore
config category. But these are configs that were forced on by the
kconfig scripts and not something that we found must be enabled to boot
our machine. By keeping the configs that are forced on by default,
separate from the configs we found that are required to boot the box, we
can get a much more interesting IGNORE_CONFIG. In fact, the
IGNORE_CONFIG can usually end up being the must have configs to boot,
and only have 6 or 7 configs set.

If the defined OUTPUT_MIN_CONFIG in the make_min_config test exists,
then give a prompt to ask the user if they want to use that config
instead, as it is very often the case, especially when the test has been
interrupted. The OUTPUT_MIN_CONFIG is usually the config that one wants
to use to continue the test where they left off.
But if START_MIN_CONFIG is defined (thus the MIN_CONFIG is not the
default), then do not prompt, as it will be annoying if the user has
this as one of many tests, and the test pauses waiting for input, while
the user is sleeping.

To save time, the test does not just grab any option and test
it. The Kconfig files are examined to determine the dependencies
of the configs. If a config is chosen that depends on another
config, that config will be checked first. By checking the
parents first, we can eliminate whole groups of configs that
may have been enabled.
For example, if a USB device config is chosen and depends on
CONFIG_USB, the CONFIG_USB will be tested before the device.
If CONFIG_USB is found not to be needed, it, as well as all
configs that depend on it, will be disabled and removed from
the current min_config.
Note, the code from streamline_config (make localmodconfig)
was copied and used to find the dependencies in the Kconfig file.

After doing a make localyesconfig, your kernel configuration may
not be the most useful minimum configuration. Having a true minimum
config that you can use against other configs is very useful if
someone else has a config that breaks on your code. By only forcing
those configurations that are truly required to boot your machine
will give you less of a chance that one of your set configurations
will make the bug go away. This will give you a better chance to
be able to reproduce the reported bug matching the broken config.
Note, this does take some time, and may require you to run the
test over night, or perhaps over the weekend. But it also allows
you to interrupt it, and gives you the current minimum config
that was found till that time.
Note, this test automatically assumes a BUILD_TYPE of oldconfig
and its test type acts like boot.
TODO: add a test version that makes the config do more than just
boot, like having network access.

There has been too many times that I put in one too many SKIP
TEST_STARTs and start the test with the default randconfig by accident
that I added this to have ktest ask the user for which test they want to
run if no TEST_START is specified.
Now if I accidently start the test with all TEST_STARTs skipped, ktest
asks what test do I want to run, and I now have a chance to kill it
before it does a make mrproper on my build directory.

After a bug is found, the STOP_AFTER_FAILURE timeout is used to
determine how much output should be printed before breaking out
of the monitor loop. This is to get things like call traces and
enough infromation about the bug to help determine what caused it.
The STOP_AFTER_FAILURE is usually much shorter than the TIMEOUT
that is used to determine when to quit after no more stdio is given.
But since the stdio read uses a wait on I/O, the STOP_AFTER_FAILURE is
only checked after we get something from I/O. But if the I/O does
not return any more data, we wait the TIMEOUT period instead, even
though we already triggered a bug report.
The wait on I/O should honor the STOP_AFTER_FAILURE time if a bug has
been found.

Using the build KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG environment variable to force
the min config may not always work properly. Since ktest is
written in perl, it is trivial to read and replace the current
config with the configs specified by the min config.
Now the min config (and add configs) are read by perl and before
a make is done, these configs in the .config file are replaced
by the version in the min config.

Currently the config_bisect compares the min config with the
CONFIG_BISECT config. There may be another config that we know
is good that we want to ignore configs on. By passing in this
config it will ignore the options that are set in the good config.
Note: This only ignores the config, it does not (yet) handle
options that are different between the two configs. If the good
config has "SLAB" set and the bad config has "SLUB" it will not
find the bug if the bug had to do with changing these two options.
This is something that I intend to implement in the future.

When a triple fault happens in a test, no call trace nor panic
is displayed. Instead, the system reboots to the good kernel.
Since the good kernel may display a boot prompt that matches the
success string, ktest may think that the test succeeded, when it
did not.
Detecting triple faults is tricky because it is hard to generalize
what a reboot looks like. The best that we can come up with for now
is to examine the Linux banner. If we detect that the Linux banner
matches the test we want to test, then look to see if we hit another
Linux banner with a different kernel is booted. This can be assumed
to be a triple fault.
We can't just check for two Linux banners because things like
early printk may cause the Linux banner to be displayed twice. Checking
for different kernel versions should be the safe bet.
If this for some reason detects a false triple boot. A new ktest
config option is also created:
DETECT_TRIPLE_FAULT
This can be set to 0 to disable this checking.

The command that is called that reboots the kernel may fail
but the return code is not passed back to the ktest.pl script.
This is because a ';' is used between the two commands and

this.

Because in perl the array size returned by $#arr, is the last
index and not the actually size of the array, we end the config
bisect early, thinking there is only one config left when there
are in fact two. Thus the result has a 50% chance of picking
the correct config that caused the problem.

There are cases where one ktest option may be used within another
ktest option. Allow them to be reused just like config variables
but there are evaluated at time of test not config processing time.

I found that I constantly reuse information for each test case.
It would be nice to just define a variable to reuse.
For example I may have:
TEST_START
[...]
TEST = ssh root@mybox /path/to/my/script
TEST_START
[...]
TEST = ssh root@mybox /path/to/my/script
[etc]
The issue is, I may wont to change that script or one of the other
fields. Then I need to update each line individually.
With the addition of config variables (variables only used during parsing
the config) we can simplify the config files. These variables can
also be defined multiple times and each time the new value will
overwrite the old value.
The convention to use a config variable over a ktest option is to use :=
instead of =.
Now we could do:
USER := root
TARGET := mybox
TEST_SCRIPT := /path/to/my/script
TEST_CASE := ${USER}@${TARGET} ${TEST_SCRIPT}
TEST_START
[...]
TEST = ${TEST_CASE}
TEST_START
[...]
TEST = ${TEST_CASE}
[etc]
Now we just need to update the variables at the top.
