[PATCH i-g-t RFC v1 0/2] runner: create results incrementally

[Kamil Konieczny]

Create results incementally during run, e.g. after each test end
its execution create results.json up to last one executed.

One caveat is that it will still not hold last one at which
sudden reboot happens, for example after a kernel panic.

In such cases there is still a need for calling igt_results to
collect all data.

[PATCH i-g-t v1 1/2] runner: Create results after each tests end

[Kamil Konieczny]

Sometimes it is desireable to have results present after an
execution of each test, so if any unexpected reboot happen, there
is at least result with already executed ones. Before creating
new results.json, previous one from test before is saved into
results.old file.

This will have one drawback of not containing any info about last
test which causes sudden machine reboot.

The real purpose of this function is to regenerate results after each
individual tests on the next patch - how about renaming this to
generate_results_post_test or something like that? (End times could be
written in all result generation paths except dry runs.)

[PATCH i-g-t v1 2/2] runner: Create new option for incremental results

[Kamil Konieczny]

Create new option --inc-results which will make results.json
after each test was run, not only after last one.

Please note that this could be somewhat misleading when a kernel
panic happens during an execution, as a real test causing this
will not be there. In such cases one still needs to run
igt_results to add that last one to results.

Can this be named something like "--save-results-after-each-test" or
something like that? It's not really "incremental", the entire
results.json is getting generated from scratch on each run, and a
longer name is a bit more descriptive.

An alternative option would be implementing this as a built-in hook that
the user could activate, e.g.:

igt_runner --hook 'post-test:builtin:gen-results'
