v4 cover tests: Add migration test for aarch64

This patchset adds a migration test for aarch64. It leverages Dave Gilbert's recent patch "tests/migration: Add source to PC boot block" to create a new test case for aarch64.

V3->V4:
* Rename .s to .S, allowing assembly to include C-style header file
* Move test defines into a new migration-test.h file
* Use different cpu & gic settings for kvm and tcg modes on aarch64
* Clean up aarch64-a-b-kernel.S based on Andrew Jones' comments

V2->V3:
* Convert build script to Makefile
* Add cross-compilation support
* Fix CPU type for "tcg" machine type
* Revise asm code and the compilation process from asm to header file

V1->V2:
* Similar to Dave Gilbert's recent changes to migration-test, we provide the test source and a build script in V2.
* aarch64 kernel blob is defined as "unsigned char" because the source is now provided in V2.
* Add "-machine none" to test_deprecated() because aarch64 doesn't have a default machine type.

RFC->V1:
* aarch64 kernel blob is defined as an uint32_t array
* The test code is re-written to address a data caching issue under KVM. Tests passed under both x86 and aarch64.
* Re-use init_bootfile_x86() for both x86 and aarch64
* Other minor fixes

Thanks,
-Wei

PATCH v4 1/3 tests/migration: Convert the boot block compilation script into Makefile

The x86 boot block header currently is generated with a shell script. To better support other CPUs (e.g. aarch64), we convert the script into Makefile. This allows us to 1) support cross-compilation easily, and 2) avoid creating a script file for every architecture.

I see the above lines are copied from roms/Makefile. Is there no way to avoid the duplication? Add them to $(SRC_PATH)/rules.mak and include them?

PATCH v4 3/3 tests: Add migration test for aarch64

In reply to Wei Huang

This patch adds migration test support for aarch64. The test code, which implements the same functionality as x86, is booted as a kernel in qemu. Here are the design choices we make for aarch64:

* We choose this -kernel approach because aarch64 QEMU doesn't provide a built-in fw like x86 does. So instead of relying on a boot loader, we use -kernel approach for aarch64.
* The serial output is sent to PL011 directly.
* The physical memory base for mach-virt machine is 0x40000000. We change the start_address and end_address for aarch64.

In addition to providing the binary, this patch also includes the source code and the build script in tests/migration/. So users can change the source and/or re-compile the binary as they wish.

Adding the arm64 Linux kernel offset here is a bit subtle. And, since the TEST_MEM_START is at 1M, that only leaves 512K for test code and data. I think you may want to define this offset somewhere, making it less subtle, and then also factor it in when computing the test mem start.

Adding the arm64 Linux kernel offset here is a bit subtle. And, since the TEST_MEM_START is at 1M, that only leaves 512K for test code and data. I think you may want to define this offset somewhere, making it less subtle, and then also factor it in when computing the test mem start.

I have fixed most parts based on your review comments, except for this one. I think the section address, -Ttext=, doesn't matter in this case. Such info is not present aarch64.kernel; plus QEMU loads the kernel into the loader_start address, which is the physical memory base (0x40000000, see virt.c). So the space to store kernel binary is 1MB, which should be large enough to prevent aarch64-a-b-kernel.S from changing code.

Anyway I think we are fine to remove "-Ttext=40080000" here. To address concerns, I add more comments in the migration-test.c (V5).

Adding the arm64 Linux kernel offset here is a bit subtle. And, since the TEST_MEM_START is at 1M, that only leaves 512K for test code and data. I think you may want to define this offset somewhere, making it less subtle, and then also factor it in when computing the test mem start.

Quoted 3 lines

I have fixed most parts based on your review comments, except for this one. I think the section address, -Ttext=, doesn't matter in this case. Such info is not present aarch64.kernel; plus QEMU loads the kernel into

In this case it doesn't matter because your code only uses pc-relative addresses. It's pretty safe to assume the compiler will only emit pc- relative addresses for code like this, so that's probably fine.

Quoted 3 lines

the loader_start address, which is the physical memory base (0x40000000, see virt.c). So the space to store kernel binary is 1MB, which should be large enough to prevent aarch64-a-b-kernel.S from changing code.

No, it loads the kernel at 0x40000000 + 0x80000, see hw/arm/boot.c:load_aarch64_image() and KERNEL64_LOAD_ADDR.

Quoted 2 lines

Anyway I think we are fine to remove "-Ttext=40080000" here.

Fine by me, but you might want to add a comment saying the code *must* only compile to using pc-relative addresses.

Thanks,

This patch adds migration test support for aarch64. The test code, which implements the same functionality as x86, is booted as a kernel in qemu. Here are the design choices we make for aarch64:

* We choose this -kernel approach because aarch64 QEMU doesn't provide a built-in fw like x86 does. So instead of relying on a boot loader, we use -kernel approach for aarch64.
* The serial output is sent to PL011 directly.
* The physical memory base for mach-virt machine is 0x40000000. We change the start_address and end_address for aarch64.

In addition to providing the binary, this patch also includes the source code and the build script in tests/migration/. So users can change the source and/or re-compile the binary as they wish.

I think all ARM label-based branches are PC-relative (see
https://community.arm.com/processors/b/blog/posts/branch-and-call-sequences-explained).
So compilers aren't supposed to change this semantic. Anyway I just sent a new version. It adds comments about compiler requirements.
