package: add rasdaemon support.
v4 cover package: add rasdaemon support.
Hi all,
Rasdaemon is a tool that provides a way to collect all hardware error events reported by the Linux kernel in a common framework.
My use case is on a PowerPC P2020. I use to it to monitor and react to the PCIe AER events caught by the SoC's EDAC.
The first patch adds the package. The second one adds a small test for it in support/testing. Adding fake error injections in the selftest isn't trivial so it only ensures the daemon does run.
---
Changes in v4:
- Add BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_THREADS
- Make the sqlite dependency optional
- Fix Config.in format
- Add Fiona reviewed-by
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]
Changes in v3:
- PATCH 1: Init script: Run the daemon in foreground and use
--background to leave the PID file creation to start-stop-daemon
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]
Changes in v2:
- PATCH 1:
Init script: Use a PID file
Config.in: Add comment for the BR2_SHARED_LIBS dependency, fix the AER feature description rasdaemon.mk: Add License's hash
- PATCH 2:
Add a check to ensure the daemon does run once started by the init
script.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]

PATCH v4 1/2 package/rasdaemon: Add rasdaemon package
Rasdaemon is a tool that aims to replace the edac-tool and provide a way to collect all hardware error events reported by the Linux kernel in a common framework.
Add a new package to support rasdaemon in the 'Hardware handling' section. It depends on libtraceevents to detect the ftrace events generated by the kernel. There is currently a build issue when sqlite isn't availaible while it's supposed to be an optional dependency. This build issue is fixed by patch 0001 (which has been also submitted to the rasdaemon project itself).
Support for the PCIe AER events is optionnal and implies a dependency on pciutils so also add a dedicated 'sub-option' to enable it.
Add a SYSV init script to start / stop the daemon
Add myself to the DEVELOPERS file.

PATCH v4 2/2 support/testing: add rasdaemon tests
In reply to Bastien Curutchet via buildrootRasdaemon was added in previous patch.
Add a test_rasdaemon that allows to test it.
Test is done on x86. It first checks the daemon's version, then mounts debugfs and finally ensures that the init script allows to start/restart/stop the daemon.
