[kvm-unit-tests PATCH v1 0/2] s390x: add migration test for CMM

[Nico Boehr]

Upon migration, we expect the CMM page states to be preserved. Add a test which
checks for that.

The new test gets a new file so the existing cmm test can still run when the
prerequisites for running migration tests aren't given (netcat). Therefore, move
some definitions to a common header to be able to re-use them.

[kvm-unit-tests PATCH v1 1/2] lib: s390x: add header for CMM related defines

[Nico Boehr]

Since we're going to need the definitions in an upcoming migration test for CMM,
add a header for CMM related defines. It is based on
arch/s390/include/asm/page-states.h from linux.

While at it, use the constants in existing calls to CMM related functions.

Also move essa() and test_availability() there to be able to use it outside
cmm.c.

I like your idea a lot, but the compiler doesn't :-(:

/home/nrb/kvm-unit-tests/lib/asm/cmm.h:32:9: error: impossible
constraint in ‘asm’

To satify the "i" constraint, new_state needs to be a compile time
constant, which it won't be any more with your suggestion
unfortunately. 

We can do crazy stuff like this in cmm.h:

#define __essa(state) \
	asm volatile(".insn
rrf,0xb9ab0000,%[extr_state],%[addr],%[new_state],0" \
			: [extr_state] "=d" (extr_state) \
			: [addr] "a" (paddr), [new_state] "i"
(state));
static unsigned long essa(uint8_t state, unsigned long paddr)
{
	uint64_t extr_state = 0;

	switch(state) {
		case ESSA_SET_STABLE:
			__essa(ESSA_SET_STABLE);
		break;
		case ESSA_SET_UNUSED:
			__essa(ESSA_SET_UNUSED);
		break;
		case ESSA_SET_VOLATILE:
			__essa(ESSA_SET_VOLATILE);
		break;
		case ESSA_SET_POT_VOLATILE:
			__essa(ESSA_SET_POT_VOLATILE);
		break;
	}

	return (unsigned long)extr_state;
}

But that essentially just shifts the readability problem to a different
file. What do you think?

Or we make essa a marco, which doesn't sound like a particularily
attractive alternative either.

ok, next less ugly thing: unroll the loop

for (i = 0; i < NUM_PAGES; i += 4) {
	essa(ESSA_SET_STABLE, (unsigned long)pagebuf[i]);
	essa(ESSA_SET_UNUSED, (unsigned long)pagebuf[i + 1]);
	... etc
}

maybe assert(NUM_PAGES % 4 == 0) before that, just for good measure

I wonder if we are going to have more of these "split" tests.

is there a way to make sure migration prerequisites are always present?
or rewrite things so that we don't need them?

We could not run _any_ tests if netcat is not installed, which seems
like a bad idea.

We need ncat to communicate with the QEMU QMP over unix socket. I am
not aware of a way to use unix sockets in Bash, but no expert either.

We could ship our own version of netcat and build it for the host,
which adds additional complexity and maintenance burden. 

I honestly can't think of a good way.

Or we just put all cmm tests in a single file and accept the fact that
if you don't have all the migration related requirements installed, you
don't get all the tests - even some which are not at all related to
migration. I did not like that so I went with the extra file.

Having them separate is fine. I'd change the file name to 
migration-cmm.elf though. We might also want to change the name of the 
first migration test in the future to make the name more specific.

Yes, good thought. I have it on my TODO.
