Subject: [PATCH v4 4/4] selftests/kho: add LoongArch vmtest support
Date: Fri, 7 Aug 2026 18:37:14 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260807103714.33074-5-dongtai.guo@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260807103714.33074-1-dongtai.guo@linux.dev>
From: George Guo <guodongtai@kylinos.cn>
Add loongarch.conf to configure QEMU's LoongArch virtual machine (VM)
with a la464 CPU, enable the 8250 serial console, and set the kernel
image to vmlinux.efi. Extend vmtest.sh to recognise loongarch64 as a
supported target and map it to the 'loongarch' kernel arch name.
QEMU's LoongArch VM provides no ACPI tables and relies on FDT to
describe hardware. Without 'earlycon' on the kernel command line, the
FDT is not scanned for a console UART, no output reaches the console,
and vmtest.sh's console log stays empty causing the test to always
fail. Add 'earlycon' to KERNEL_CMDLINE in loongarch.conf.
QEMU's LoongArch VM has no i8042 PS/2 controller. When PNP detection
finds nothing, i8042_init() falls back to probing the ports directly.
On LoongArch the I/O ports are memory-mapped, and the i8042 port
addresses are not backed by any device on the VM, so i8042_flush() takes
a page fault and the kernel panics:
i8042: PNP: No PS/2 controller found.
i8042: Probing ports directly.
CPU 0 Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address ffff800000008064
ERA: i8042_flush+0x50/0x198
RA: i8042_init+0x2a8/0x35c
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
Disable SERIO_I8042 and its dependents (KEYBOARD_ATKBD, MOUSE_PS2) in
the QEMU_KCONFIG fragment to prevent the driver from being built.
All three options are scoped to loongarch.conf; no other architecture
is affected.
Wrap the QEMU invocation in run_qemu() with timeout(1) using a local
time limit so the test always terminates, even when QEMU does not exit
on its own. This is useful for every architecture; on LoongArch, for
example, QEMU provides no EFI runtime services and machine_restart()
falls through to an idle loop after kexec, so QEMU would never exit
otherwise.
