Subject: [PATCH v3 0/2] Wrap EFL binaries into ISO images
Date: Sun, 13 Jun 2021 20:47:22 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210613124724.1850051-1-yi.sun@intel.com> (raw)
This patch set make use of tool 'grub-mkrescue' to wrap ELF binaries
into bootable ISO images.
Cases in kvm-unit-tests can be run with QEMU. But the problem is that
some newer VMMs such as Crosvm/Cloud-hyperviosr does NOT support
multiboot protocol with which QEMU loads and executes those testing
binaries correctly. This patch set can wrap each kvm-unit-tests EFL
binaries into a bootable ISO image aiming to adapt it to more usage
scenarios. As we know, all PC BIOSes and vBIOSes know how to boot
from a ISO from CD-ROM drive, hence it can extend the KVM-unit-tests
a lot.
The patch set provides two approaches to create ISO. One is via
"make iso". It wrap each ELF in foler x86 into a ISO without any
parameters passed to the test cases. The other is via script
create_iso.sh. The script wraps the ELF according to the configure
file unittests.cfg which descripes various parameters for each testing.
Patch History:
V1: Initial version.
V2: Add the second parament to the script create_iso.sh, that could
pass environment variables into test cases via the file.
V3: Add some failure handle.
