[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 1/2] drmtest: introduce kmsg_error functions

From: Paulo Zanoni <paulo.r.zanoni at intel.com>

These functions should help you checking for new Kernel error
messages. One of the problems I had while writing the runtime PM test
suite is that when you read the sysfs and debugfs files, the only way
to detect errors is by checking dmesg, so I was always getting SUCCESS
even if the test caught a bug. Also, we have so many debugfs/sysfs
files that it was not easy to discover which file caused the error
messages I was seeing. So this commit adds some infrastructure to
allow us to automatically check for new errors on dmesg.

Use it like this:

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
	int fd, i;

	igt_fixture
		fd = kmsg_error_setup();

	igt_subtest("t1") {
		kmsg_error_reset(fd);
		do_something();
		kmsg_error_detect("");
	}

	igt_subtest("t2") {
		for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
			char *file_name = get_file(i);
			kmsg_error_reset(fd);
			process_file(file_name);
			kmsg_error_detect(file_name):
		}
	}

	igt_fixture
		kmsg_error_teardown(fd);
}
