It can be useful to record how long tests take; this can help debug slow
running test systems or track changes in performance over time. Enhance
the test system to record timestamps while running test:
- Whenever a new log file section is started.
- After U-Boot is started and communication has been established.
- After each host or U-Boot command is executed.

Implement three improvements to the HTML log file:
- Ability to expand/contract sections. All passing sections are contracted
at file load time so the user can concentrate on issues requiring
action.
- The overall status report is copied to the top of the log for easy
access.
- Add links from the status report to the test logs, for easy navigation.
This all relies on Javascript and the jquery library. If the user doesn't
have Javascript enabled, or jquery can't be downloaded, the log should
look and behave identically to how it did before this patch.
A few notes on the diff:
- A few more 'with log.section("xxx")' were added, so that all stream
blocks are kept within a section block for consistent HTML entity
nesting structure. This changed indentation in a few places, making
the diff look slightly larger.
- HTML entity IDs are cleaned up. We assign simple incrementing integer
IDs now, rather than using mangled test names which were possibly
invalid.
- Sections and streams now use common CSS class names (in addition to the
current separate class names) to more easily share the new behaviour.
This also reduces the CSS file size since rules don't need to be
duplicated.
- An "OK" status is logged after some external command executions so that
make and flash steps are auto-contracted at log file load time, assuming
they passed.

Tests can complete in passed, skipped, xpass, xfailed, or failed, states.
Currently the U-Boot log generation code doesn't handle the xfailed or
xpass states since they aren't used. Add support for the remaining states.
Without this, tests that xfail end up being reported as skipped.

This tool aims to test U-Boot by executing U-Boot shell commands using the
console interface. A single top-level script exists to execute or attach
to the U-Boot console, run the entire script of tests against it, and
summarize the results. Advantages of this approach are:
- Testing is performed in the same way a user or script would interact
with U-Boot; there can be no disconnect.
- There is no need to write or embed test-related code into U-Boot itself.
It is asserted that writing test-related code in Python is simpler and
more flexible that writing it all in C.
- It is reasonably simple to interact with U-Boot in this way.
A few simple tests are provided as examples. Soon, we should convert as
many as possible of the other tests in test/* and test/cmd_ut.c too.
The hook scripts, relay control utilities, and udev rules I use for my
own HW setup are published at https://github.com/swarren/uboot-test-hooks.
