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?
