Currently the read throuput test tries:
- 1 page
- 2 pages
- 1 block (64 or more pages, usually)
But it might be interesting to see how the speed gradually increases,
eg. testing all number of pages from 1 to maybe 16, and then
arbitrarilly 32 and 64.
Let's add a -C parameter to enable this additional test.
The 2-page read/write tests are also moved under this new option.

The read_eraseblock_by_2pages() has been generalized so it became
read_eraseblock_by_npages(), but there is no limitation (besides 0)
regarding the number of pages. Hence, drop the _by_page() helper and
replace it with the _by_npages(), using 'npages = 1'.

Right now there are only 2 pages that may be read continuously, but why
not trying more? At least when the continuous feature is out, this type
of benchmarking will be interesting. In order to facilitate later
additions, lets make this helper more generic and accept a global
'npages' variable as parameter (because this function is called in a
macro, it is simpler like that).

So far speed calculations have only be done 1 page at a time or 2 pages
at a time in a block; so basically all the block was always read because
all blocks are multiple of 2. But in the future, if we want to extend
the number of pages in a single read, the final number of pages actually
read might be less than an erase block size, hence failing the throuput
calculations.
Make the number of pages in a set explicit.

I know no device without a multiple of 2 number of pages in each
block. Even though it might be the case, it is clearly not a big deal
and we don't really care about reading the last page, we are doing a
speed benchmark; so as long as the throughput calculation knows how much
data has been read it's fine. Eitherway, I don't think we ever have
fallen in this block because we would read the content of two pages (so
one past the block) and put it in a page-wide buffer, which would
probably lead to an out-of-bound abort.
Just drop the block.

In order to trigger a continuous read, the user needs to request at
least two pages at the same time. So far the tool would only read single
pages, so let's extend its capabilities to test continuous read output
when the -c option is passed.

'pagesize' is used for two purposes:
- accessing the size of a page
- getting the size of the test buffer, which happen to be the size of a
page for now.
Use an intermediate variable when getting the size of the test buffer,
as we will later increase its size.

This introduces a new feature to the MTD command line utilities that
allows MTD devices to be referenced by name instead of device node. For
example this looks like:
> # Display info for the MTD device with name "data"
> mtdinfo mtd:data
> # Copy file to MTD device with name "data"
> flashcp /my/file mtd:data
This follows the syntax supported by the kernel which allows MTD
device's to be mounted by name[1].
Add the function mtd_find_dev_node() that accepts an MTD "identifier"
and returns the MTD's device node. The function accepts a string
starting with "mtd:" which it treats as the MTD's name. It then attempts
to search for the MTD, and if found maps it back to the /dev/mtdX device
node. If the string does not start with "mtd:", then assume it's the old
style and refers directly to a MTD device node.
The function is then hooked into existing tools like flashcp, mtdinfo,
flash_unlock, etc. To load in the new MTD parsing code in a consistent
way across programs.

The Read While Write (RWW) feature allows to perform reads from the
flash array into cache while a program (from cache) or an erase
operation happens, provided that the two areas are located on different
banks.
The main benefit is the possible reduced latency when requesting to read
a page while a much longer operation is ongoing, like a write or an
erase.
We can try to compare the positive impact of such a feature by enhancing
the flash_speed test tool with the following test:
- Measure the time taken by an eraseblock write in parallel with an
eraseblock read.
- Measure when the read operation ends.
- Compare the two to get the latency saved with the RWW feature.
To be sure the mtd_write actually starts (and acquires the necessary
locks) before the mtd_read does, we use SCHED_FIFO at rather high
(arbitrary) priorities, respectively 42 and 41.

In order to be able to have interleaved measures, let's not use the

provide parameters for these variables so that we can provide either the

Same fix as a2c6bbc ("mtd-tests: Read and write pages during speed
tests") but applied to flash_readtest and flash_stress.
Resolves failure of flash_readtest when subpages are present. The test
reads a (sub)page followed by the entire OOB. Upon reaching the 2nd
subpage, the OOB read fails because it is beyond the end of OOB.

The speed test does reads and writes of different sizes:
- eraseblock
- page
- two pages
At least this is the theory because, as opposed to the legacy kernel
module doing the same measurement, the userspace tool uses the subpage
size (hence accessing the same page 4, 8 or 16 times depending on the
subpage setting). Of course if the controller does not support subpages,
this issue is not visible.
Use mtd.min_io_size instead for non-NOR devices in order to get the
right bandwidth (at least one that fits the logs).

- Remove "install tests" configure option, we already have an option
whether to build tests or not. Don't try to work around autotools
semantics that people building the package expect.

The function insert_biterror should be designed to insert error at
the first '1' bit starting at offset byte.
But now, only bit 7 of each byte is checked, because checking mask
is always 0x80.
So, do right shift for checking mask after each checking to check
the whole 8 bits of each bytes.

If the number of erase blocks to use is not specified, ebcnt originally
set to -1 leads the program to exit with:
"Cannot run with less than two blocks."
If the number of erase blocks to use is not specified and thus ebcnt is
equal to -1, the expected behaviour is to perform the test on all the
erase blocks of the mtd partition.
This fixes the change introduced in
4458ad6481f60d9884925d5bc62a7954880d181b.

When porting some of the mtd-tests to user space, some code was
simplified. Among others, a while loop that iterates of page contents
was replaced with a for loop, but the old increment was left in place,
so every second byte was skipped.
This patch removes the erroneous second increment.

A common pattern in command line processing is having a usage()
function that prints out how to use the command line options and
then terminates.
The function is typically used inside a switch block for command
line options like `-h' or unknown options. In a lot of places, the
break keyword is omitted, because the function exits anyway. However,
this triggers gcc warnings about implicit fall-through.
Rather than adding a phony "/* fall-through */" this patch flags the
usage() style function with a gcc attribute, indicating that they do
not return and removes further superfluous break statements.

Forbid the use of less than 2 eraseblocks in nandpagetest. It is obvious
that the test cannot run on zero block, but it cannot run on only one
block neither. The reason is: get_first_and_last_block() will return the
same id for both the first and the last blocks. In erasecrosstest(),
the logic is:
- erase/write/read/verify first block
- erase/write again first block
- erase *last* block
- read/verify first block
When using only one block, 'first' refers to the same block as 'last',
leading to erasing the block before reading it. Hence, the test would
fail with no actual reason.

Bit flip detection for written and erased pages tend to have different
implementations. Where written pages are detected and corrected using
ECC, erased pages are typically detected by ensuring that the number of
zeros is less than a specified threshold.
As such, it's necessary to have the 'nandbiterrs' test support the
testing of written and erased pages. Bit flips in erased pages are
emulated by rewriting the page in raw mode, to prevent the use of ECC.

On 32bit systems (e.g. ARM) the size of off_t can be 4 byte and the size of loff_t 8 byte.
This causes compiler warnings like the following:
flash_erase.c: In function 'show_progress':
flash_erase.c:56:22: warning: format '%llx' expects argument of type 'long long unsigned int', but argument 3 has type 'off_t {aka long int}' [-Wformat=]
bareverbose(!quiet, "\rErasing %d Kibyte @ %"PRIxoff_t" -- %2i %% complete ",
and an output like this:
~# flash_erase /dev/mtd2 0 1
Erasing 64 Kibyte @ 6400000000 -- 0 % complete
~#
Since the size of off_t and loff_t can differ from each other, the
printf format specifier should be determined separately for both.
Further the format specifiers should be based directly on the size of the
particular data type.
