Probably the main change is fixing the huge etrace test gaps thesofproject#321 and thesofproject/sof#3281 Also fixes DMA trace gaps thesofproject#297 and thesofproject#298 I initial tried to preserve some of the existing code but it was just too bad. PR thesofproject#161 / commit 9136776 seemed especially bad: - It tried to ignore a specific `ll drift` error but instead it filtered out almost every log statement out of... stderr, that does not have show log statements!! (Just for the record this `ll drift` error has been downgraded to warning now, see thesofproject/sof#2686 and thesofproject/sof#3854) - That same commit also added code that merely starts the DMA trace with "there is an error below" (without failing the test) but that's eclipsed by the entire log that follows. Later, the firmware started printing ERROR every single time when the ERROR FW ABI prefix was introduced yet no one ever noticed which proves how useless this prefix is was. So remove this DMA trace prefix as the purpose of this test is - as clearly stated in thesofproject#167 - not to find firmware errors but errors with the sof-logger itself (even though we never had anything looking at firmware errors so far) Don't grep for "error" on stderr: anything on stderr is a logger failure (not a firmware failure). Don't require whitespace before the TIMESTAMP header. Add set -e. Use shell functions. Signed-off-by: Marc Herbert <marc.herbert@intel.com>
