Subject: [kvm-unit-tests PATCH] x86: add HPET counter read micro benchmark and enable/disable torture tests
Date: Wed, 2 Jul 2025 16:51:23 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250702145123.1313738-1-imammedo@redhat.com> (raw)
test is to be used for benchmarking/validating HPET main counter read
how to run:
QEMU=/foo/qemu-system-x86_64 x86/run x86/hpet_read_test.flat -smp X
where X is max number of logical CPUs on host
it will 1st execute concurrent read benchmark
and after that it will run torture test enabling/disabling HPET counter,
while running readers in parallel. Goal is to verify counter that always
goes up.
Signed-off-by: Igor Mammedov <imammedo@redhat.com>

this also will be used for testing upcomming HPET fain-grained
locking QEMU series
