Thank you for explaining it, I had looked at scripts/arch-run.bash::initrd_create(), but it didn't click that setting the KVM_UNIT_TESTS_ENV environment variable is enough to generate and use the initrd. After looking at the code some more, in the logs the -initrd argument is shown as a comment, instead of an actual argument that is passed to qemu: timeout -k 1s --foreground 90s /usr/bin/qemu-system-aarch64 -nodefaults -machine virt,gic-version=host,accel=kvm -cpu host -device virtio-serial-device -device virtconsole,chardev=ctd -chardev testdev,id=ctd -device pci-testdev -display none -serial stdio -kernel arm/cache.flat -smp 1 # -initrd /tmp/tmp.rUIZ3h9KLJ QEMU_ACCEL = kvm INFO: IDC-DIC: dcache clean to PoU required INFO: IDC-DIC: icache invalidation to PoU required PASS: IDC-DIC: code generation SUMMARY: 1 tests This is done intentionally in scripts/arch-run.bash::run_qemu(). I don't understand the reason for that. When I first looked at the logs, I was sure that no initrd is passed to the test. I had to go dig through the scripts to figure out that the "#" sign (which marks the beginning of a comment) is not present in the qemu invocation.
