[PATCH v4 0/8] selftests/resctrl: Rework benchmark command handling

[Ilpo Järvinen]

The benchmark command handling (-b) in resctrl selftests is overly
complicated code. This series turns the benchmark command immutable to
preserve it for all selftests and improves benchmark command related
error handling.

This series also ends up removing the strcpy() calls which were pointed
out earlier.

v4:
- Correct off-by-one error in -b processing
- Reordered code in main() to make freeing span_str simpler (in new patch)
- Use consistent style for const char * const *

v3:
- Removed DEFAULT_SPAN_STR for real and the duplicated copy of defines
  that made to v2 likely due to my incorrect conflict resolutions

v2:
- Added argument length check into patch 1/7
- Updated also -b line in help message.
- Document -b argument related "algorithm"
- Use asprintf() to convert defined constant int to string
- Improved changelog texts
- Added \n to ksft_exit_fail_msg() call messages.
- Print DEFAULT_SPAN with %u instead of %zu to avoid need to cast it

[PATCH v4 1/8] selftests/resctrl: Ensure the benchmark commands fits to its array

[Ilpo Järvinen]

Benchmark command is copied into an array in the stack. The array is
BENCHMARK_ARGS items long but the command line could try to provide a
longer command. Argument size is also fixed by BENCHMARK_ARG_SIZE (63
bytes of space after fitting the terminating \0 character) and user
could have inputted argument longer than that.

Return error in case the benchmark command does not fit to the space
allocated for it.

Should this perhaps be:
	if (strlen(argv[i]) >= BENCHMARK_ARG_SIZE)

As you note in the longest string that can be fitted should be 63 to account for
the \0. If I understand correctly comparing with "BENCHMARK_ARG_SIZE - 1" would
would consider a 63 byte string as invalid.

Of course, I don't know why I added that - 1 there.

[PATCH v4 2/8] selftests/resctrl: Correct benchmark command help

[Ilpo Järvinen]

Benchmark command must be the last argument because it consumes all the
remaining arguments but help misleadingly shows it as the first
argument. The benchmark command is also shown in quotes but it does not
match with the code.

Correct -b argument place in the help message and remove the quotes.
Tweak also how the options are presented by using ... notation.

[PATCH v4 3/8] selftests/resctrl: Remove bw_report and bm_type from main()

[Ilpo Järvinen]

bw_report is always set to "reads" and bm_type is set to "fill_buf" but
is never used.

Set bw_report directly to "reads" in MBA/MBM test and remove bm_type.

[PATCH v4 4/8] selftests/resctrl: Simplify span lifetime

[Ilpo Järvinen]

struct resctrl_val_param contains span member. resctrl_val(), however,
never uses it because the value of span is embedded into the default
benchmark command and parsed from it by run_benchmark().

Remove span from resctrl_val_param. Provide DEFAULT_SPAN for the code
that needs it. CMT and CAT tests communicate span that is different
from the DEFAULT_SPAN between their internal functions which is
converted into passing it directly as a parameter.

[PATCH v4 5/8] selftests/resctrl: Reorder resctrl FS prep code and benchmark_cmd init

[Ilpo Järvinen]

Benchmark command is initialized before resctrl FS check and
preparation code that can call ksft_exit_skip(). There is no strong
reason why the resctrl FS support check and unmounting it (if already
mounted), has to be done after the benchmark command initialization.

Move benchmark command initialization such that it is done not until
right before the tests commence. This simplifies rollback handling when
benchmark command initialization starts to use dynamic allocation (in a
change following this).

[PATCH v4 6/8] selftests/resctrl: Make benchmark command const and build it with pointers

[Ilpo Järvinen]

Benchmark command is used in multiple tests so it should not be
mutated by the tests but CMT test alters span argument. Due to the
order of tests (CMT test runs last), mutating the span argument in CMT
test does not trigger any real problems currently.

Mark benchmark_cmd strings as const and setup the benchmark command
using pointers. Because the benchmark command becomes const, the input
arguments can be used directly. Besides being simpler, using the input
arguments directly also removes the internal size restriction.

CMT test has to create a copy of the benchmark command before altering
the benchmark command.

[PATCH v4 7/8] selftests/resctrl: Remove ben_count variable

[Ilpo Järvinen]

ben_count is only used to write the terminator for the list. It is
enough to use i from the loop so no need for another variable.

Remove ben_count variable as it is not needed.

[PATCH v4 8/8] selftests/resctrl: Cleanup benchmark argument parsing

[Ilpo Järvinen]

Benchmark argument is handled by custom argument parsing code which is
more complicated than it needs to be.

Process benchmark argument within the normal getopt() handling and drop
unnecessary ben_ind and has_ben variables. When -b is given, terminate
the argument processing as -b consumes all remaining arguments.
