mmtests: add AB testing and comparison support
This commit introduces comprehensive A/B testing and comparison capabilities for the mmtests workflow in kdevops, enabling performance regression detection between baseline and development kernels. Key Features Added: - A/B testing configuration support for mmtests workflow - Automated performance comparison between baseline and dev nodes - Visual performance analysis with graph generation - HTML reports with embedded performance graphs New Components: 1. Defconfigs: - mmtests-ab-testing: Basic A/B testing setup - mmtests-ab-testing-thpcompact: Advanced config with monitoring 2. Comparison Infrastructure (playbooks/roles/mmtests_compare/): - Automated result collection from baseline and dev nodes - Local mmtests repository management with patch support - Multiple comparison output formats (HTML, text, graphs) - Shell scripts for graph generation and HTML embedding 3. Playbook Integration: - mmtests-compare.yml: Orchestrates the comparison workflow - Updated mmtests.yml to target mmtests group specifically - Enhanced hosts template with localhost and mmtests group 4. Result Visualization: - Performance graphs (main, sorted, smoothed trends) - Monitor data visualization (vmstat, mpstat, proc stats) - Professional HTML reports with embedded graphs - Comprehensive comparison tables with statistical analysis 5. Workflow Enhancements: - Support for applying patches from fixes directory - Python script for advanced graph generation - Makefile targets for comparison workflow - Results organization in workflows/mmtests/results/ Technical Improvements: - Added localhost to mmtests hosts template for local operations - Added dedicated mmtests group definition in hosts template - Support for applying patches from fixes directory - Robust error handling in comparison scripts - Dependency management for Perl and Python tools - Temporary file management in /tmp for comparisons Included Patches: - Fix undefined array reference in mmtests compare - Fix library order in thpcompact gcc command The implementation supports the standard kdevops A/B testing pattern where baseline nodes run the stable kernel and dev nodes run the development kernel, with automated comparison and visualization of performance differences between them. Usage: make defconfig-mmtests-ab-testing make bringup make mmtests make mmtests-compare This enables developers to quickly identify performance regressions and improvements between kernel versions with professional-quality reports and visualizations.
