[GIT PULL] ktest: Updates for 7.1

[Steven Rostedt]

Linus,

ktest updates for v7.1:

- Fix undef warning when WARNINGS_FILE is unset

  The check_buildlog() references WARNINGS_FILE even when it's not set. Perl
  triggers a warning in this case. Check if the WARNINGS_FILE is defined
  before checking if the file it represents exists.

- Fix how LOG_FILE is resolved

  LOG_FILE is expanded immediately after the config file is parsed. If
  LOG_FILE depends on variables from the tests it will use stale values
  instead of using the test variables. Have LOG_FILE also resolve test
  variables.

- Treat a undefined self reference variable as empty

  Variables can recursively include itself for appending. Currently, if the
  references itself and it is not defined, it leaves the variable in the
  define: "VAR = ${VAR} foo" keeps the ${VAR} around. Have it removed
  instead.

- Fix clearing of variables per tests

  If a variable has a defined default, a test can not clear it by assigning
  the variable to empty. Fix this by clearing the variable for a test when
  the test config has that variable assigned to nothing.

- Fix run_command() to catch stderr in the shell command parsing

  Switch to Perl list form open to use "sh -c" wrapper to run shell commands
  to have the log file catch shell parsing errors.

- Fix console output during reboot cycle

  The POWER_CYCLE callback during reboot() can miss output from the next
  boot making ktest miss the boot string it was waiting for.

- Add PRE_KTEST_DIE for PRE_KTEST failures

  If the command for PRE_KTEST fails, ktest does not fail (this was by
  design as this command was used to add patches that may or may not apply).
  Add PRE_KTEST_DIE value to force ktest to fail if PRE_KTEST fails.

- Run POST_KTEST hooks on failure and cancellation

  PRE_KTEST always runs before a ktest test, have POST_KTEST always run
  after a test even if the test fails or is cancelled to do the teardown of
  PRE_KTEST.

-- Add a --dry-run mode

  Add --dry-run to parse the config, print the results and exit without
  running any of the tests.

-- Store failures from the dodie() path as well

  The STORE_FAILURES saves the logs on failure, but there's failure paths
  that miss storing. Perform STORE_FAILURES in dodie() to capture these
  failures too.
