[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/3] Fix NetBSD build (don't build ivshmem tools)

[Peter Maydell]

This patchset fixes the build on NetBSD by making sure we only
build the ivshmem-client and ivshmem-server tools if the host OS
actually supports ivshmem. (Previously we were only gating building
of the within-QEMU ivshmem PCI device.)

Most of this patchset is the work of Kamil Rytarowski; I just
split it up into easily-reviewable patches and fixed a few bugs.

Tested on Linux, on NetBSD, and on Linux with a '--disable-linux-user
--disable-system' config (which was the one that was failing with
our previous attempt to fix this bug).

NB: we still have some things we need to fix to be able to put
NetBSD into the build-test set. The next issue is that 'make check'
fails with

MALLOC_PERTURB_=${MALLOC_PERTURB_:-$((RANDOM % 255 + 1))} gtester -k --verbose -m=quick tests/check-qdict
sh: arith: syntax error: "RANDOM % 255 + 1"

likely because we're using a bashism there.

thanks

This is an extension to a POSIX shell. We were lately adding it as an
extension to our sh(1) in the distribution. Were also thinking about
prompting POSIX to standarize it.

$ echo $((RANDOM % 255))
52

As of now, one portable solution is to parse /dev/urandom, or use a 3rd
party tool like awk(1).

To make the life easier we can try to request bash to run tests. A
portable shebang is "/usr/bin/env bash".

From the NetBSD point of view I see nothing wrong with using bash for tests.

We can also request NetBSD 8.0 for running tests, busy wait till getting
this compatibility issue gone. As of now NetBSD 8.0 is in beta.
Personally I don't intend to invest to much time into pre-8.0 releases.

Yes, assuming that $RANDOM exists is a bashism.

It's also portable (although less random) to do:

$(( ${RANDOM:-0} + 1))

(the whole idea of MALLOC_PERTURB_ only works on glibc anyways, so it
really doesn't matter what you set it to on other systems).

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/3] configure: Rename CONFIG_IVSHMEM to CONFIG_IVSHMEM_DEVICE

[Peter Maydell]

The current CONFIG_IVSHMEM is confusing, because it looks like it's a
flag for "do we have ivshmem support?", but actually it's a flag for
"is the ivshmem PCI device being compiled?" (and implicitly "do we
have ivshmem support?" is tested with CONFIG_EVENTFD).

Rename it to CONFIG_IVSHMEM_DEVICE to clear this confusion up;
shortly we will add a new CONFIG_IVSHMEM which really does indicate
whether the host can support ivshmem.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 3/3] configure: Don't build ivshmem tools unless CONFIG_IVSHMEM is set

[Peter Maydell]

From: Kamil Rytarowski <n54@gmx.com>

Don't try to build the ivshmem-server and ivshmem-client tools unless
CONFIG_IVSHMEM is set.

This fixes in passing a build bug on NetBSD, which fails to build the
ivshmem tools because they use shm_open() and on NetBSD that requires
linking against -lrt.

I don't really care how we name this macro, but I can't help to
wonder...  We have many CONFIG_<dev>.  The pci.mak context even shows
some.  Why is <dev> = IVSHMEM confusing?  Why is <dev> = EDU *not*
confusing?

Well, this did confuse the people involved in trying to fix
this bug first time round, because we tried to add
an "ifdef CONFIG_IVSHMEM" guard to the Makefile lines that
defnie the rules for ivshmem-client and ivshmem-server,
and it it fails in obscure and confusing ways because
CONFIG_IVSHMEM doesn't mean "ivshmem OK", it means only
"this particular foo-softmmu build has the ivshmem device in it".

Basically, it looks like a global config flag but it isn't
(because ivshmem has globally built parts, ie the tools,
as well as the device itself, and configure tests that control
whether it can be built or not) whereas nobody thinks CONFIG_EDU
is something that should control global parts of the build
because the device is only the device and the host config
doesn't matter.
