Hi All,
We would like to make sure that SystemTap functions correctly on a
variety of architectures and distributions. There is a simple minded
script in the cvs repository tests/tools/stap_testing that downloads
the current source code in the cvs repository, compiles it, installs
it in a local directory, runs the "make installcheck" tests, and mail
test results when the tests complete. It will also generate coverage
information about what parts of the translator are execised by the
testing. This script needs root permission to run the scripts and
needs to be adapted for local conditions, e.g. elfutils source is stored.
Currently, I have this script running regularly on the following system:
-FC5 i686 (pentium m)
-FC6/rawhide i686 (dual processor piii)
-FC6/rawhide x86_64 (AMD64)
-RHEL5 i686 (Athlon)
-RHEL5 x86-64 (Xeon HT)
The running is just set up as a crontab job 4:30am EDT
30 04 * * * /home/wcohen/bin/stap_testing wcohen@redhat.com >&
/tmp/stap_testing.log
It would be good to have similar testing to make sure that systemtap
is running other architectures, e.g. ia64 and powerpc. Other people
doing regular runs of the tests. If so, what other architectures and
distributions are people running the tests on?
