117835d5fc support/testing: add runtime testing for init systems
The "builtin" kernel does not boot a systemd-based system, so
we resort to building the same one as currently used by our
qemu_arm_vexpress_defconfig.

We test the 8 following combinations:

  - busybox, read-only, without network
  - busybox, read-only, with network
  - busybox, read-write, without network
  - busybox, read-write, with network

  - basic systemd, read-write, network w/ ifupdown
  - basic systemd, read-write, network w/ networkd
  - full systemd, read-write, network w/ networkd

  - no init system, read-only, without network

The tests just verify what the /sbin/init binary is, and that we were
able to grab an IP address. More tests can be added later, for example
to check each systemd features (journal, tmpfiles...)

d8ab6b2b54 testing/infra/emulator: remove qemu warnings about audio
The default audio backend for qemu is configured at compile time. It
generates annoying warning messages to qemu's stderr when running our
tests, like these:
pulseaudio: set_sink_input_volume() failed
pulseaudio: Reason: Invalid argument
pulseaudio: set_sink_input_mute() failed
pulseaudio: Reason: Invalid argument

Explicitly set the audio backend to "none" at runtime to remove those
messages from our logs. There is no command line argument for this, so
use an environment variable when starting qemu.

b6bbb0782a testing/infra/basetest: move jlevel logic to constructor
As suggested by Arnout in [1].

While at it, simplify the logic by always appending the BR2_JLEVEL and
defaulting to 0 (the value copied from Config.in is used for 5 years now
and is very unlikely to change).

78c8958619 support/testing: fix run-tests -j
Since commit cf3cd4388a the -j option is
silently ignored.

The configuration lines are processed using '\n'.join().
This function adds intervening occurrences of the separator, but the
resulting string does not end at a separator.
 >>> "n".join(["a","b"])
 'anb'
It results in a defconfig that does not end in a newline.

When BR2_JLEVEL is added by -j logic to the defconfig it ends up
concatenated to the last line of the defconfig.
 BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_CODESOURCERY_ARM=yBR2_JLEVEL=7
The resulting .config has the default BR2_JLEVEL=0.

Instead of just workaround this problem by adding a newline before
BR2_JLEVEL when -j is used, make the defconfig to end in a newline since
it is a more future-proof solution.

cf3cd4388a support/tests: allow properly indented config fragment
Currently, defining a config fragment in the runtime test infra requires
that the fragment not to be indented. This is beark, and causes grievance
when looking at the code (e.g. to fix it).

Just strip out all leading spaces/tabs when writing the configuration
lines into the config file, allowing in-line indented config fragments,
like so:

    class TestFoo(bla):
        config = bla.config + \
            """

704db1586c support/testing: unbreak run-tests -l
In commit b78b50465c, the initialisation
of BRTest.builddir was moved to the __init__ function. However, it is
set based on BRTest.outputdir and that is only set when the -o argument
is given to run-tests. When called as "run-tests -l", there is no -o
argument so BRTest.outputdir remains unset.

To fix, keep BRTest.builddir at None when BRTest.outputdir is None.

While we're at it, drop the direct access to the class member. If a
subclass wishes to set outputdir to something else before calling
BRTest.__init__, they are free to do so.

e664c5f71c support/testing: let pexpect write stdout to log
When the parameter logfile is passed to spawn(), pexpect sends both
stdin and stdout to the logfile and it creates a double echo effect.

One way to avoid the double echo in the logfile would be to disable the
echo on the terminal just after login ("stty -echo"), but double echo of
user and password would remain.

Instead of that, send only the stdout to the logfile using the
logfile_read property.

bf4a6490e4 support/testing: add fs tests
This commit adds a number of test cases for various filesystem formats:
ext2/3/4, iso9660, jffs2, squashfs, ubi/ubifs and yaffs2. All of them
except yaffs2 are runtime tested. The iso9660 set of test cases is
particularly rich, testing the proper operation of the iso9660 support
with all of grub, grub2 and isolinux.

This commit adds a few Buildroot "core" tests, testing functionalities
such as:

 - post-build and post-image scripts
 - root filesystem overlays
 - timezone support

a732fb222b support/testing: core testing infrastructure
This commit adds the core of a new testing infrastructure that allows to
perform runtime testing of Buildroot generated systems. This
infrastructure uses the Python unittest logic as its foundation.

This core infrastructure commit includes the following aspects:

 - A base test class, called BRTest, defined in
   support/testing/infra/basetest.py. This base test class inherited
   from the Python provided unittest.TestCase, and must be subclassed by
   all Buildroot test cases.

   Its main purpose is to provide the Python unittest setUp() and
   tearDown() methods. In our case, setUp() takes care of building the
   Buildroot system described in the test case, and instantiate the
   Emulator object in case runtime testing is needed. The tearDown()
   method simply cleans things up (stop the emulator, remove the output
   directory).

 - A Builder class, defined in support/testing/infra/builder.py, simply
   responsible for building the Buildroot system in each test case.

 - An Emulator class, defined in support/testing/infra/emulator.py,
   responsible for running the generated system under Qemu, allowing
   each test case to run arbitrary commands inside the emulated system.

 - A run-tests script, which is the entry point to start the tests.

Even though I wrote the original version of this small infrastructure, a
huge amount of rework and improvement has been done by Maxime
Hadjinlian, and squashed into this patch. So many thanks to Maxime for
cleaning up and improving my Python code!
