[PATCH for-4.9 0/4] Makefiles: Provide way to ship livepatch tests

[PATCH for-4.9 0/4] Makefiles: Provide way to ship livepatch tests

[Ian Jackson]

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.

[PATCH 1/4] xen/test/livepatch/Makefile: Install in DESTDIR/usr/lib/debug/xen-livepatch

[Ian Jackson]

Dumping these patch files in /usr/lib/debug/xen-*.livepatch is a bit
ugly.

Also, refactor the Makefile to have a LIVEPATCHES variable, to reduce
repetition.

[PATCH 2/4] xen/test/livepatch: Regularise Makefiles

[Ian Jackson]

In xen/test/livepatch/Makefile:

  Provide a `build' target, as most of the
  subdir-invoking Makefiles elsewhere expect.

In xen/test/Makefile:

  Replace the two open-coded targets with a generalised pattern rule
  which descends into each of SUBDIRS.  This allows `install' to work
  too (it is already supported by xen/test/livepatch/Makefile).

  Provide an explicit default target of `tests', and an `all' target
  (which is conventional).

  Suppress entry into the xen/test/livepatch subdir when we are
  building for i386, since the 32-bit hypervisor is not supported any
  more and we can't build livepatches for it either.

After this, the xen/test subdirectory is somewhere were make can be
invoked in the way which is conventional for xen.git/xen/ subdirs.

None of this is yet invoked from the top-level Makefile.

[PATCH 4/4] Makefile: Provide way to ship livepatch test files

[Ian Jackson]

In the toplevel Makefile, provide build-tests and install-tests
targets which descend into xen/test.  (dist-tests is provided
automatically by the pattern rule, as is the convention here.)

We have to set BASEDIR ourselves, and use these curious runes, because
the convention in Makefiles under xen/ is to "make -f Rules.mk" with
BASEDIR set and to expect Rules.mk to reinvoke the per-directory
Makefile.  (This is really very strange.)  Normally this invocation
pattern is organised by the machinery in xen/Makefile (which sets
BASEDIR) and Rules.mk, but we need to invoke it from outside that
context.

In theory it would be nice to have a pattern rule %-tests.  But this
is not the style in the rest of the toplevel Makefile; and doing that
might interfere with the dist-% pattern rule.

None of this is invoked by default.  If install-tests or dist-tests is
requested, the livepatches (the only current output from xen/tests)
are shipped in DESTDIR/usr/lib/debug/xen-livepatch/.

This allows CI systems such as osstest which are trying to consume
this to arrange for the files to be built, and output, without them
having to have special knowledge of the details of Xen's build syste.

Of course.  Done.

Thanks.  I have pushed this to staging and will wait for an osstest
test report to check I didn't break the build, before applying the
same commits to staging-4.9.

I don't see the patches in staging. Do you still plan to have those 
patches in Xen 4.9?

As you'll have seen, they went to staging last week and are now in
xen.git#master.  I have just applied them to staging-4.9 (and
staging-4.8).

Unfortunately, the `make -C xen clean` target is now broken.

make -f /local/xen.git/xen/Rules.mk -C test clean
make[2]: Entering directory '/local/xen.git/xen/test'
set -e; for s in livepatch; do \
    make -f /local/xen.git/xen/Rules.mk -C $s .*.d; \
done
make[3]: Entering directory '/local/xen.git/xen/test/livepatch'
make[3]: *** No rule to make target '.*.d'.  Stop.
make[3]: Leaving directory '/local/xen.git/xen/test/livepatch'

I think the %: rule is too general, and needs restricting to the primary
commands.

[PATCH for-4.9] xen/test/Makefile: Fix clean target, broken by pattern rule

[Ian Jackson]

In "xen/test/livepatch: Regularise Makefiles" we reworked
xen/test/Makefile to use a pattern rule.  However, there are two
problems with this.  Both are related to the way that xen/Rules.mk is
implicitly part of this Makefile because of the way that Makefiles
under xen/ are invoked by their parent directory Makefiles.

Firstly, the Rules.mk `clean' target overrides the pattern rule in
xen/test/Makefile.  The result is that `make -C xen clean' does not
actually run the livepatch clean target.

The Rules.mk clean target does have provision for recursing into
subdirectories, but that feature is tangled up with complex object
file iteration machinery which is not desirable here.  However, we can
extend the Rules.mk clean target since it is a double-colon rules.

Sadly this involves duplicating the SUBDIR iteration boilerplate.  (A
make function could be used but the cure would be worse than the
disease.)

Secondly, Rules.mk has a number of -include directives.  make likes to
try to (re)build files mentioned in includes.  With the % pattern
rule, this applies to those files too.

As a result, make -C xen clean would try to build `.*.d' (for example)
in xen/test.  This would fail with an error message.  The error would
be ignored because of the `-', but it's annoying and ugly.

Solve this by limiting the % pattern rule to the targets we expect it
to handle.  These are those listed in the top-level Makefile, apart
from: those which are subdir- or component-qualified; clean targets
(which are handled specially, even distclean); and dist,
src-tarball-*, etc. (which are converted to install by an earlier
Makefile).
