[PATCH-for-5.2? 0/5] tests/acceptance: Only run tests tagged 'gating-ci' on GitLab CI

[Philippe Mathieu-Daudé]

This series try an idea from the CI BoF last week:
- allow adding all test to mainstream repository
- promote test to "gating" once it is proven stable
- only run 'gating-ci' on GitLab CI

Philippe Mathieu-Daudé (5):
  tests/acceptance: Restrict virtio_check_params tests to X86 target
  tests/acceptance: Restore MIPS Malta multicore tests
  tests/acceptance: Skip incomplete virtio_version tests using '@skip'
  RFC tests/acceptance: Only run tests tagged 'gating-ci' on GitLab CI
  tests/acceptance: Let stable tests use the 'gating-ci' tag

[PATCH-for-5.2? 1/5] tests/acceptance: Restrict virtio_check_params tests to X86 target

[Philippe Mathieu-Daudé]

We disabled the virtio_check_params tests in commit 2d6a6e238a2
("tests/acceptance/virtio_check_params: Disable the test"),
because these tests were making multiarch CI fail (virtio is
multiarch).

We took the big hammer, as we can restrict the tests to the X86
arch. Restore them on this single arch.

[PATCH-for-5.2? 2/5] tests/acceptance: Restore MIPS Malta multicore tests

[Philippe Mathieu-Daudé]

Since 42a052333a6 ("hw/misc/mips_cpc: Start vCPU when powered on")
the multicore support of the MIPS Malta board has been fixed.

This reverts commit 61bbce96fe4c8e3a2b7df5a67ba7dc6ba418e54b.

[PATCH-for-5.2? 3/5] tests/acceptance: Skip incomplete virtio_version tests using '@skip'

Prefer skipping incomplete tests with the "@skip" keyword,
rather than commenting the code.

Shouldn't that be 'drive' instead of 'driver' ?

I think I'd prefer to keep the stuff commented ... otherwise it will show up
in the logs, giving the impression that you could run the tests somehow if
you just provided the right environment, which is just not possible right now.

No clue, this is the previous commented line.

Well, we usually don't commit commented code like that.
If it is committed, it is important, then it has to show up in
the log. If you don't want it logged, why not remove it then?

Then I'd rather remove it. Or leave a comment saying "we cannot exercise
virtio-9p-pci and virtio-blk-pci here (yet) since they need additional
parameters to be set".

[RFC PATCH-for-5.2? 4/5] tests/acceptance: Only run tests tagged 'gating-ci' on GitLab CI

[Philippe Mathieu-Daudé]

To avoid breaking our CI each time a test is added, switch from the
"run all but disable some" to "only run the tagged tests on CI".
This way we can add a test to the repository, and promote it to
'gating-ci' once it is proven stable enough.

This doesn't work as expected, since we have:

AVOCADO_TAGS=$(patsubst %-softmmu,-t arch:%, $(filter
%-softmmu,$(TARGET_DIRS)))

And avocado '-t' works as logical OR, not logical AND.

OTOH it seems this variable predate the auto-skip feature
(when a binary is not present).

So I'll test this instead, which is simpler:

But you can *add* to the resulting list with the arches, and then you get a
logical AND.  So it'd end up as:

 -t arch:x86_64,gating-ci -t arch:aarch64,gating-ci [...]

To avoid having only "gating-ci" tests running on other environments that
call "make check-acceptance", we can look at the environment variable that
GitLab CI sets and optionally include the "gating-ci" tag.

self-NAck, this has to be added in acceptance_test_job_template
in .gitlab-ci.d/buildtest-template.yml, not in tests/Makefile.include.

[PATCH-for-5.2? 5/5] tests/acceptance: Let stable tests use the 'gating-ci' tag

[Philippe Mathieu-Daudé]

Switch from "run all tests but disable some" to "only run the
tests tagged as stable on CI".
Declare our current set of tests as stable with the 'gating-ci'
tag.
