Subject: [PATCH for-4.9 0/4] Makefiles: Provide way to ship livepatch tests
Date: Wed, 7 Jun 2017 15:51:28 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1496847092-18838-1-git-send-email-ian.jackson@eu.citrix.com> (raw)

I am trying to get the livepatches tested in osstest.  As discussed, I
would like the xen.git Makefiles to be able to ship the livepatch test
files, so that osstest does not need to have too much special
knowledge of the xen.git build system.

There are three preliminary patches which tidy up the xen/test
Makefiles etc. a bit, and a final patch which provides the top-level
targets.  These targets are not invoked by default.

I have tested these with a private osstest branch; I got a pass with
an amd64 toolstack.  I'm still getting my osstest branch to DTRT with
a 32-bit toolstack but 64-bit hypervisor, and the osstest patch series
needs some work.  But given that I have had one pass, and verified
that things work with a 32-bit x86 build, I think the xen.git changes
can go in now.

I would ideally like this in 4.9 because I would like to establish the
interface; also eventually I expect we will want to backport these
Makefile changes to 4.8 so that we can test the 4.8 livepatching too.

Thanks,
Ian.
