kvm-unit-tests for v86

Run the following to run this test:

./configure
make
make -C ../../build/libv86.js
./run.js x86/realmode.flat
./run.js x86/setjmp.flat
./run.js x86/cmpxchg8b.flat
./run.js x86/sieve.flat
./run.js x86/ioapic.flat
./run.js x86/apic.flat
./run.js x86/pae.flat

Tests can also be run in browser by going to ?profile=test-$name (for example, ?profile=test-realmode).

Most tests require you to set ENABLE_ACPI to true in src/config.js (currently not the default).

Welcome to kvm-unit-tests

See http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/KVM-unit-tests for a high-level description of this project, as well as running tests and adding tests HOWTOs.

Building the tests

This directory contains sources for a kvm test suite.

To create the test images do:

./configure
make

in this directory. Test images are created in .//*.flat

Standalone tests

The tests can be built as standalone To create and use standalone tests do:

./configure
make standalone
(send tests/some-test somewhere)
(go to somewhere)
./some-test

'make install' will install all tests in PREFIX/share/kvm-unit-tests/tests, each as a standalone test.

Running the tests

Then use the runner script to detect the correct invocation and invoke the test:

./x86-run ./x86/msr.flat

or:

./run_tests.sh

to run them all.

To select a specific qemu binary, specify the QEMU= environment variable:

QEMU=/tmp/qemu/x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 ./x86-run ./x86/msr.flat

Unit test inputs

Unit tests use QEMU's '-append <args...>' parameter for command line inputs, i.e. all args will be available as argv strings in main(). Additionally a file of the form

KEY=VAL KEY2=VAL ...

may be passed with '-initrd ' to become the unit test's environ, which can then be accessed in the usual ways, e.g. VAL = getenv("KEY") Any key=val strings can be passed, but some have reserved meanings in the framework. The list of reserved environment variables is below

QEMU_ACCEL ... either kvm or tcg QEMU_VERSION_STRING ... string of the form qemu -h | head -1 KERNEL_VERSION_STRING ... string of the form uname -r

Additionally these self-explanatory variables are reserved

QEMU_MAJOR, QEMU_MINOR, QEMU_MICRO, KERNEL_VERSION, KERNEL_PATCHLEVEL, KERNEL_SUBLEVEL, KERNEL_EXTRAVERSION

Style

Currently there is a mix of indentation styles so any changes to existing files should be consistent with the existing style. For new files:

• C: please use standard linux-with-tabs
• Shell: use TABs for indentation

Patches

Patches are welcome at the KVM mailing list kvm@vger.kernel.org.

Please prefix messages with: [kvm-unit-tests PATCH]

You can add the following to .git/config to do this automatically for you:

[format]
    subjectprefix = kvm-unit-tests PATCH

Additionally it's helpful to have a common order of file types in patches. Our chosen order attempts to place the more declarative files before the code files. We also start with common code and finish with unit test code. git-diff's orderFile feature allows us to specify the order in a file. The orderFile we use is scripts/git.difforder. Adding the config with git config diff.orderFile scripts/git.difforder enables it.
