This set of patches adds an automatic test of the vmstate via the
scripts/vmstate-static-checker.py script. For this we need some
reference files from an older version of QEMU. I chose to use QEMU 7.2
for the reference files since this is a long term support release that
is still actively being maintained, so we certainly want to make sure
that we don't break migration from that version to the latest one.
There are also some files available in tests/vmstate-static-checker-data/
which were used in the past to verify the functionality of the checker
script. Move them to tests/data/vmstate-static-checker now and add an
automated test for this task, too.
(I originally mentioned that I could also look into testing automatically
with an older version of QEMU, but I currently lack the time to do so,
so if somebody else wants to have a try that would be very welcome!)
v2:
- Dropped the patch that is already upstream
- Don't remove the old dump files, rather test for the expected
output of the checker script with them
Thomas Huth (4):
tests: Move the old vmstate-static-checker files to tests/data/
tests/data/vmstate-static-checker: Add dump files from QEMU 7.2.17
tests/functional: Test with scripts/vmstate-static-checker.py
tests/functional/test_vmstate: Test whether the checker script works
as expected
