For BLS, kernel entry is added by kernel-install command through
POST_INSALL, for example,
POST_INSTALL = ssh root@Test "/usr/bin/kernel-install \
add $KERNEL_VERSION /boot/vmlinuz-$KERNEL_VERSION"
The entry is removed by kernel-install command and the kernel
version is needed for the argument.
Pass KERNEL_VERSION variable to POST_KTEST so that kernel-install
command can remove the entry like as follows:
POST_KTEST = ssh root@Test "/usr/bin/kernel-install remove $KERNEL_VERSION"

Before ktest issues a reboot, it will try to connect to the target machine
to make sure that it is still alive. If the target does not respond within 5
seconds, it will power cycle the box instead of issuing a reboot.
Five seconds may be too short, and ktest may unnecessarially power cycle the
box. I have found 25 seconds seems to be a better timeout for this purpose.
But even 25 may be too arbitrary. Add a CONNECT_TIMEOUT option to let the
user determine the timeout time before rebooting. By default, it has been
raised to 25 seconds.

The Tile architecture port was added by Chris Metcalf in 2010, and
maintained until early 2018 when he orphaned it due to his departure
from Mellanox, and nobody else stepped up to maintain it. The product
line is still around in the form of the BlueField SoC, but no longer
uses the Tile architecture.
There are also still products for sale with Tile-GX SoCs, notably the
Mikrotik CCR router family. The products all use old (linux-3.3) kernels
with lots of patches and won't be upgraded by their manufacturers. There
have been efforts to port both OpenWRT and Debian to these, but both
projects have stalled and are very unlikely to be continued in the future.
Given that we are reasonably sure that nobody is still using the port
with an upstream kernel any more, it seems better to remove it now while
the port is in a good shape than to let it bitrot for a few years first.

infinite loop while doing the make mrproper. Looking into the cause I noticed
that a recent update to the function run_command (used for running all

use the function wait_for_input. The wait_for_input uses select to look
at two file descriptors. One is the file descriptor of the command it is
running, the other is STDIN. The STDIN check was not checking the return
status of the sysread call, and was also just writing a lot of data into
syswrite without regard to the size of the data read.
Changing the code to check the return status of sysread, and also to still
process the passed in descriptor data without looping back to the select
fixed Greg's problem.
While looking at this code I also realized that the loop did not honor
the timeout if STDIN always had input (or for some reason return error).
this could prevent wait_for_input to timeout on the file descriptor it
is suppose to be waiting for. That is fixed too.

ktest: Make sure wait_for_input does honor the timeout
ktest: Fix while loop in wait_for_input
The function wait_for_input takes in a timeout, and even has a default
timeout. But if for some reason the STDIN descriptor keeps sending in data,
the function will never time out. The timout is to wait for the data from
the passed in file descriptor, not for STDIN. Adding a test in the case
where there's no data from the passed in file descriptor that checks to see
if the timeout passed, will ensure that it will timeout properly even if
there's input in STDIN.

The run_command function was changed to use the wait_for_input function to
allow having a timeout if the command to run takes too much time. There was
a bug in the wait_for_input where it could end up going into an infinite
loop. There's two issues here. One is that the return value of the sysread
wasn't used for the write (to write a proper size), and that it should
continue processing the passed in file descriptor too even if there was
input. There was no check for error, if for some reason STDIN returned an
error, the function would go into an infinite loop and never exit.

When ktest runs the console program as a child process, the parent and
child share the same tty for stdin and stderr. This is problematic when
using a libvirt target. The "virsh console" program makes a lot of
changes to the tty settings, making ktest's output hard to read
(carriage returns don't work). After ktest exits, the terminal is
unusable (CRs broken, stdin isn't echoed).
I think the best way to fix this issue would be to create a
pseudoterminal (pty pair) so the child process would have a dedicated
tty, and then use pipes to connect the two ttys. I'm not sure if that's
overkill, but it's far beyond my current Perl abilities.
This patch is a much easier way to (partially) fix this issue. It saves
the tty settings before opening the console and restores them after
closing it. There are still a few places where ktest prints mangled
output while the console is open, but the output is much more legible
overall, and the terminal works just fine after ktest exits.
