This adds boot Linux tests for x86_64, aarch64, ppc64, and s390x targets which, unlike others, enable the KVM acceleration. Likewise it was added test cases for tcg.
It is introduced an infraestructure on avocado_qemu framework so that: a) simply tagging the test with `accel:kvm` (or `accel:tcg`) will automatically set the corresponding '-accel' on the launched QEMU; b) test is canceled if the accelerator is not enabled on the QEMU binary or not available in the host. In special, it checks if SMT is disabled on POWER8. The acceptance builder on Travis was changed too in order to make the test run. Changes v3 -> v4: - Broke changes per-arch to ease the reviews. Resulting on patches 02, 03, 05, 06. - The test for aarch64 now passes '-cpu max' and -M 'virt,gic-version=max'. (patch 03) [drjones] - Added a fix to accel.kvm_available() so that it detects correctly the availability of kvm on ppc64le. (patch 05) - The test for ppc64le now checks if SMT is enabled on POWER8 then skip. v3: [PATCH v3 0/4] Acceptance tests: boot Linux with KVM test - https://www.mail-archive.com/qemu-devel@nongnu.org/msg672635.html v2: [PATCH v2 0/3] Acceptance tests: boot Linux with KVM test - https://www.mail-archive.com/qemu-devel@nongnu.org/msg666238.html v1: [PATCH 0/3] Acceptance tests: boot Linux with KVM test - https://www.mail-archive.com/qemu-devel@nongnu.org/msg627498.html Tree: - Git: https://github.com/wainersm/qemu - Branch: acceptance_kvm_test-v4 CI: - Travis (FAIL): https://travis-ci.org/wainersm/qemu/builds/646154220 Failed jobs are not related with this series changes.
