[OSSTEST PATCH 1/3] create_build_jobs: Set reset pvops_kconfig_overrides

[Anthony PERARD]

Those two variables, and especially "pvops_kconfig_overrides", aren't
reset for the next loop of `for arch ...`. So when
"pvops_kconfig_overrides" is for "armhf", it is also set for "arm64"
as this is the next "arch" in the loop.

Avoid this by setting default values for the variables before the
`case` command.

This changes Linux arm64 builds which will not have "CONFIG_EXT4_FS=y"
anymore, but should get "CONFIG_EXT4_FS=m" instead from
`ts-kernel-build`. But resulting build still have "CONFIG_EXT4_FS=y",
so no change.

[OSSTEST PATCH 3/3] ts-kernel-build: Remove use of $XEN_TARGET_ARCH

[Anthony PERARD]

osstest doesn't set $XEN_TARGET_ARCH, and this is a Xen build
variable, not a Linux build one. So, this code have been running with
an empty $XEN_TARGET_ARCH for a while which mean none of those
`setopt` has run in a while.

Thanks, much appreciated.

Could we expand a bit on why CONFIG_X86_GENERIC is required?  It would
seem to me that option should have been selected by default already?

Thanks, Roger.

No, the kernel's default for 32-bit x86 builds is still using the M686.

I guess this is for historical reasons.

BTW, there is a kernel patch pending letting CONFIG_XEN depend on more
recent cpu types for 32-bit builds. I'm planning to take that patch
after OSStest has been changed to no longer use M686.

I would however request that if possible you expand a bit the
description on patch 2 with the additional information provided by
Juergen.

Thanks, Roger.

If I add the following to the patch description, taken from Juergen
patch, would that be ok?

    Today the cpu type for a 32-bit x86 kernel is not specified in the
    used kernel config, resulting in the M686 to be used.

    Instead of using the M686 which isn't even a 64-bit cpu (thus not
    capable to run a Xen guest), use the X86_GENERIC variant which is
    more appropriate.

ref: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20231207080953.27976-1-jgross@suse.com/

I'm not sure what you mean Juergen with "not 64bit cpu -> can't run xen
guest", maybe it's because we can only run Xen on 64-bit cpus nowadays,
so if we can't run Xen, there's no Xen guest?

As for X86_GENERIC, I think I've read the description which says
something like distro should enable it, so I guess 32-bit distro would
usually have the config enabled, so it make sense that we test with it.

Cheers,
