xnu_quick_test - this tool will do a quick test of every (well, to be
honest most) system calls we support in xnu.

WARNING - this is not meant to be a full regression test of all the
system calls.  The intent is to have a quick test of each system call that
can be run very easily and quickly when a new kernel is built.

This tool is meant to grow as we find xnu problems that could have be
caught before we submit to a build train.  So please add more tests and
make the existing ones better.  Some of the original tests are nothing
more than place holders and quite lame.  Just keep in mind that the tool
should run as fast as possible.  If it gets too slow then most people
will stop running it.

LP64 testing tip - when adding or modifying tests, keep in mind the
variants in the LP64 world.  If xnu gets passed a structure the varies in
size between 32 and 64-bit processes, try to test that a field in the 
structure contains valid data.  For example, if we know foo structure
looks like:
struct foo {
             int             an_int;
             long    a_long;
             int             another_int;
}
And if we know what another_int should contain then test for the known
value since it's offset will vary depending on whether the calling process
is 32 or 64 bits.

NOTE - we have several workarounds and test exceptions for some
outstanding bugs in xnu.  All the workarounds are marked with "todo" and
some comments noting the radar number of the offending bug.  Do a seach
for "todo" in the source files for this project to locate which tests have
known failures.   And please tag any new exceptions you find with "todo"
in the comment and the radar number of the bug.

To build a fat binary, export ARCH="ppc ppc64 i386 x86_64". This will work
for any architectures that Apple gcc recognizes.

Added three defines which you can use at the compile line to build variants.
DEBUG
       turn on additional printfs
CONFORMANCE_TESTS_IN_XNU 
       when conformance tests are in xnu, set this to 1
TEST_SYSTEM_CALLS
       test system calls (doesn't compile; a different bug)
by default, all three are set to 0, i.e. disabled.  To build, export
MORECFLAGS with the values you want set, e.g. 
       export MORECFLAGS="-D DEBUG=1 -D CONFORMANCE_TESTS_IN_XNU=1"

todo:
-- have folks with area expertise fix lame tests
   (most of the networking related tests are pretty lame)
-- mach system calls support


USAGE:  xnu_quick_test -target TARGET_PATH 

         -f[ailures] MAX_FAILS_ALLOWED   # number of test cases that may fail before we give up.  defaults to 0  
         -l[ist]                         # list all the tests this tool performs   
         -r[un] 1, 3, 10 - 19            # run specific tests.  enter individual test numbers and/or range of numbers.  use -list to list tests.   
         -s[kip]                         # skip setuid tests   
         -t[arget] TARGET_PATH           # path to directory where tool will create test files.  defaults to "/tmp/"   

examples:  
--- Place all test files and directories at the root of volume "test_vol" --- 
xnu_quick_test -t /Volumes/test_vol/ 
 
--- Run the tool for tests 10 thru 15, test 18 and test 20 --- 
xnu_quick_test -r 10-15, 18, 20 


--- example of running the tool to list all the tests it currently supports ---
