The latest version of grep claims the egrep is now obsolete so the build
now contains warnings that look like:
egrep: warning: egrep is obsolescent; using grep -E
fix this up by moving the related file to use "grep -E" instead.
sed -i "s/egrep/grep -E/g" `grep egrep -rwl tools/memory-model`
Here are the steps to install the latest grep:
wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/grep/grep-3.8.tar.gz
tar xf grep-3.8.tar.gz
cd grep-3.8 && ./configure && make
sudo make install
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH

Litmus tests involving atomic operations produce LL/SC loops on a number
of architectures, and unrolling these loops can result in excessive
verification times or even stack overflows. This commit therefore uses
the "-unroll 0" herd7 argument to avoid unrolling, on the grounds that
additional passes through an LL/SC loop should not change the verification.
Note however, that certain bugs in the mapping of the LL/SC loop to
machine instructions may go undetected. On the other hand, herd7 might
not be the best vehicle for finding such bugs in any case. (You do
stress-test your architecture-specific code, don't you?)

The scripts that generate the litmus tests in the "auto" directory of
the https://github.com/paulmckrcu/litmus archive place the "Result:"
tag into a single-line ocaml comment, which judgelitmus.sh currently
does not recognize. This commit therefore makes judgelitmus.sh
recognize both the multiline comment format that it currently does
and the automatically generated single-line format.

This commit adds functionality to judgelitmus.sh to allow it to handle
both the "DATARACE" markers in the "Result:" comments in litmus tests
and the "Flag data-race" markers in LKMM output. For C-language tests,
if either marker is present, the other must also be as well, at least for
litmus tests having a "Result:" comment. If the LKMM output indicates
a data race, then failures of the Always/Sometimes/Never portion of the
"Result:" prediction are forgiven.
The reason for forgiving "Result:" mispredictions is that data races can
result in "interesting" compiler optimizations, so that all bets are off
in the data-race case.

Currently, parseargs.sh expects to consume all the command-line arguments,
which prevents the calling script from having any of its own arguments.
This commit therefore causes parseargs.sh to stop consuming arguments
when it encounters a "--" argument, leaving any remaining arguments for
the calling script.

The history-check scripts currently use grep to ignore non-C-language
litmus tests, which is a bit fragile. This commit therefore enlists the
aid of "mselect7 -arch C", given Luc Maraget's recent modifications that
allow mselect7 to operate in filter mode.
This change requires herdtools 7.52-32-g1da3e0e50977 or later.

The parseargs.sh regular expression for the --jobs argument incorrectly

This commits enables the "--hw" argument for the checkghlitmus.sh script,
causing it to convert any applicable C-language litmus tests to the
specified flavor of assembly language, to verify these assembly-language
litmus tests, and checking compatibility of the outcomes.
Note that the conversion does not yet handle locking, RCU, SRCU, plain
C-language memory accesses, or casts.

Currently, the scripts specify the CPU's .cat file to herd. But this is
pointless because herd will select a good and sufficient .cat file from
the assembly-language litmus test itself. This commit therefore removes
the -model argument to herd, allowing herd to figure the CPU family out
itself.
Note that the user can override herd's choice using the "--herdopts"
argument to the scripts.

This commit retains the assembly-language litmus tests generated from
the C-language litmus tests, appending the hardware tag to the original
C-language litmus test's filename. Thus, S+poonceonces.litmus.AArch64
contains the Armv8 assembly language corresponding to the C-language
S+poonceonces.litmus test.
This commit also updates the .gitignore to avoid committing these
automatically generated assembly-language litmus tests.

When the github scripts see ".litmus.out", they assume that there must be
a corresponding C-language ".litmus" file. Won't they be disappointed
when they instead see nothing, or, worse yet, the corresponding
assembly-language litmus test? This commit therefore swaps the hardware
tag with the "litmus" to avoid this sort of disappointment.
This commit also adjusts the .gitignore file so as to avoid adding these
new ".out" files to git.

In the absence of "Result:" comments, the runlitmus.sh script relies on
litmus.out files from prior LKMM runs. This can be a bit user-hostile,
so this commit makes runlitmus.sh generate any needed .litmus.out files
that don't already exist.

The judgelitmus.sh script currently relies solely on the "Result:"
comment in the .litmus file. This is problematic when using the --hw
argument, because it is necessary to check the hardware model against
LKMM even in the absence of "Result:" comments.
This commit therefore modifies judgelitmus.sh to check the observation
in a .litmus.out file, in case one was generated by a previous LKMM run.

This commit makes checklitmus.sh and checkalllitmus.sh check to see
if a hardware verification was specified (via the --hw command-line
argument, which sets the LKMM_HW_MAP_FILE environment variable).
If so, the C-language litmus test is converted to the specified type
of assembly-language litmus test and herd is run on it. Hardware is
permitted to be stronger than LKMM requires, so "Always" and "Never"
verifications of "Sometimes" C-language litmus tests are forgiven.

This commit abstracts out common function to check a given litmus test
for locking, RCU, and SRCU in order to avoid duplicating code.

This commit makes the judgelitmus.sh script check the --hw argument
(AKA the LKMM_HW_MAP_FILE environment variable) and to adjust its
judgment for a run where a C-language litmus test has been translated to
assembly and the assembly version verified. In this case, the assembly
verification output is checked against the C-language script's "Result:"
comment. However, because hardware can be stronger than LKMM requires,
the judgelitmus.sh script forgives verification mismatches featuring
a "Sometimes" in the C-language script and an "Always" or "Never"
assembly-language verification.
Note that deadlock is not forgiven, however, this should not normally be
an issue given that C-language tests containing locking, RCU, or SRCU
cannot be translated to assembly. However, this issue can crop up in
litmus tests that mimic deadlock by using the "filter" clause to ignore
all executions. It can also crop up when certain herd arguments are
used to autofilter everything that does not match the "exists" clause
in cases where the "exists" clause cannot be satisfied.

This commit adds a --hw argument to parseargs.sh to specify the CPU
family for a hardware verification. For example, "--hw AArch64" will
specify that a C-language litmus test is to be translated to ARMv8 and
the result verified. This will set the LKMM_HW_MAP_FILE environment
variable accordingly. If there is no --hw argument, this environment
variable will be set to the empty string.

If a litmus test specifies "Result: Never" and if it contains an
unconditional ("hard") deadlock, then running checklitmus.sh on it will
not flag any errors, despite the fact that there are no executions.
This commit therefore updates judgelitmus.sh to complain about tests
with no executions that are marked, but not as "Result: DEADLOCK".

Currently, judgelitmus.sh treats use of unknown primitives (such as
srcu_read_lock() prior to SRCU support) as "!!! Verification error".
This can be misleading because it fails to call out typos and running
a version LKMM on a litmus test requiring a feature not provided by
that version. This commit therefore changes judgelitmus.sh to check
for unknown primitives and to report them, for example, with:
'!!! Current LKMM version does not know "rcu_write_lock"'.

Currently, cmplitmushist.sh treats timeouts (as in the "--timeout"

for timeouts and to report them with "Timed out".

The https://github.com/paulmckrcu/litmus repository contains a large
number of C-language litmus tests that include "Result:" comments
predicting the verification result. This commit adds a number of scripts
that run tests on these litmus tests:
checkghlitmus.sh:
Runs all litmus tests in the https://github.com/paulmckrcu/litmus
archive that are C-language and that have "Result:" comment lines
documenting expected results, comparing the actual results to
those expected. Clones the repository if it has not already
been cloned into the "tools/memory-model/litmus" directory.
initlitmushist.sh
Run all litmus tests having no more than the specified number
of processes given a specified timeout, recording the results in
.litmus.out files. Clones the repository if it has not already
been cloned into the "tools/memory-model/litmus" directory.
newlitmushist.sh
For all new or updated litmus tests having no more than the
specified number of processes given a specified timeout, run
and record the results in .litmus.out files.
checklitmushist.sh
Run all litmus tests having .litmus.out files from previous
initlitmushist.sh or newlitmushist.sh runs, comparing the
herd output to that of the original runs.
The above scripts will run litmus tests concurrently, by default with
one job per available CPU. Giving any of these scripts the --help
argument will cause them to print usage information.
This commit also adds a number of helper scripts that are not intended
to be invoked from the command line:
cmplitmushist.sh: Compare the output of two different runs of the same
litmus test.
judgelitmus.sh: Compare the output of a litmus test to its "Result:"
comment line.
parseargs.sh: Parse command-line arguments.
runlitmushist.sh: Run the litmus tests whose pathnames are provided one
per line on standard input.
While in the area, this commit also makes the existing checklitmus.sh
and checkalllitmus.sh scripts use parseargs.sh in order to provide a
bit of uniformity. In addition, per-litmus-test status output is directed
to stdout, while end-of-test summary information is directed to stderr.
Finally, the error flag standardizes on "!!!" to assist those familiar
with rcutorture output.
The defaults for the parseargs.sh arguments may be overridden by using
environment variables: LKMM_DESTDIR for --destdir, LKMM_HERD_OPTIONS
for --herdoptions, LKMM_JOBS for --jobs, LKMM_PROCS for --procs, and
LKMM_TIMEOUT for --timeout.

This commit adds a pair of scripts that run the memory model on litmus
tests, checking that the verification result of each litmus test matches
the result flagged in the litmus test itself. These scripts permit easier
checking of changes to the memory model against preconceived notions.
To run the scripts, go to the tools/memory-model directory and type
"scripts/checkalllitmus.sh". If all is well, the last line printed will
be "All litmus tests verified as was expected."
