[kvm-unit-tests PATCH 0/3] x86: Running tests on bare-metal

[Nadav Amit <nadav.amit@gmail.com>]

This is the final bit of enabling KVM-unit-tests to run on bare-metal
environment. It requires some pending patches, which I sent before, to
be applied first.

I have run most of the tests (e.g., vmx, apic, pmu, eventinj) and they
seem to be working fine. Not all the tests run the same way they run on
KVM, of course, due to the lack of emulated devices. There are some
issues with some other tests due to failure of 1GB page allocations.

There are several known issues. On my machine I get an error due to
errtum (BDX30, BDE31, etc.):
  FAIL: VMX_VMCS_ENUM.MAX_INDEX expected at least: 2e, actual: 2a

And there are also many test errors such as:
  FAIL: valid link pointer: field 1418: VMREAD and VMWRITE permission:
        VMX_INST_ERROR (0) is as expected (12)

These are test bugs, which Paolo and Liran know about.

It is possible to build some automation environment that builds boot
entries based on the .cfg file, but I was too busy (or lazy) to do so in
a manner that is not distribution-specific.
