Subject: [PATCH 0/7] Factor out common build rules and helpers in tools/tests
Date: Mon, 23 Feb 2026 10:14:04 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1771840831.git.edwin.torok@citrix.com> (raw)
There are a lot of duplicate rules and code in tools/tests.
To simplify writing new tests move common build rules into a
`tools/tests/Rules.mk`, and helper macros/functions into `common/{tests,guests}.{c,h}`.
This also ensures that CFLAGS are applied consistently across all tests (e.g. one test failed
to build now due to an unused variable error).
Guest creation also needs to test for the presence of PV, HVM HAP or HVM shadow support
in Xen and create a guest accordingly. This can be shared.
After these changes the per-test Makefile only contains entries specific
to the test (its name, dependencies, etc.) and avoids having to
copy&paste boilerplate code.
`tools/tests/x86_emulator` remains unchanged, because the Makefile
contains a lot of conditional build logic specific to that test.
An upcoming patch series will introduce new tests using the simplified
Makefile and shared helpers.
For convenience this is also available at:
