[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 for-2.11 0/2] Improvements for the pxe tester

[Thomas Huth]

The first patch improves the buffer handling in the pxe tester a
little bit by allocating a separate buffer on the heap for each
architecture. This also gets rid of the huge pre-initialized
array in the tester, shrinking the size of the executable by
half of a megabyte!
The second patch adds s390x support to the pxe tester. Starting
with QEMU 2.10, the guest firmware on s390x can now net-boot via
TFTP, too, so we can automatically test this code in the pxe tester.

v2: Adressed Cornelia's review feedback from the first version, e.g.:
 - Use g_malloc0() instead of g_malloc()
 - Use sizeof with parentheses

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 for-2.11 1/2] tests/boot-sector: Do not overwrite the x86 buffer on other architectures

[Thomas Huth]

Re-using the boot_sector code buffer from x86 for other architectures
is not very nice, especially if we add more architectures later. It's
also ugly that the test uses a huge pre-initialized array at all - the
size of the executable is very huge due to this array. So let's use a
separate buffer for each architecture instead, allocated from the heap,
so that we really just use the memory that we need.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 for-2.11 2/2] tests/pxe: Check virtio-net-ccw on s390x

[Thomas Huth]

Now that we've got a firmware that can do TFTP booting on s390x (i.e.
the pc-bios/s390-netboot.img), we can enable the PXE tester for this
architecture, too.

Haven't reviewed the updates yet, but tried it out (on my laptop and on
a z/VM guest). Laptop went fine; on the z/VM guest, I forgot to turn on
vm.allocate_pgste at first:

TEST: tests/pxe-test... (pid=56084)
  /s390x/pxe/virtio-ccw:                                               ioctl(KVM_CREATE_VM) failed: 22 Invalid argument

qemu-system-s390x: failed to initialize KVM: Invalid argument
qemu-system-s390x: Back to tcg accelerator
OK
PASS: tests/pxe-test

It does the correct fallback (the need for allocate_pgste will go away
with future kernels), so this is fine. However, it prompted me to test
with --disable-tcg:

There are probably more tests that rely on tcg always being available,
which is no longer true. (Also, the boot-serial test should probably
check if qemu even started rather than run into in a timeout.)

A quick test on x86_64 with --disable-tcg showed no further problems
than boot-serial-test, so at least it's only the one for now (and it
might make sense to simply use accel=tcg:kvm for it).

$ grep -rl accel=tcg tests/
tests/pnv-xscom-test.c
tests/boot-serial-test.c
tests/prom-env-test.c

... so the other problematic tests are for ppc only - which does not
support --disable-tcg yet.

I'll send a patch for boot serial, then. You probably know more about
whether the ppc tests would make sense with kvm as well than I do :)
