    I run kvm-unit-tests on rhel_7.0, and the apic unittest failed.

kvm-unit-tests always corresponds to the latest kernel version
(sometimes even the _next_ kernel version). If you want to use it in
RHEL, you have to look at the failures one by one, find the patch that
fixed it and confirm that it is not present in RHEL (it might be present
in RHEL 7.1 for example). You will then get a set of known failures, and
you can patch kvm-unit-tests to remove those tests.

Yes, Paolo is right. Even for RHEL7u2, I also saw some failures when running km-unit-tests. All the failures are due to lack of corresponding patch which already in upstream KVM. You need to figure out it one by one and backport the patch manually.

SUMMARY: 12 tests, 7 unexpected failures

    I found that all the tests with "test_for_exception()" failed. After looking at this function, I cannot understand the macro:

    "#define set_exception_jmpbuf(jmpbuf) \
	(setjmp(jmpbuf) ? : (__set_exception_jmpbuf(&(jmpbuf)), 0))"

    So it it always return 0?

If setjmp(jmpbuf) returns non-zero, it returns the non-zero value that
setjmp returned.

If it returns zero, it calls __set_exception_jmpbuf(&jmpbuf) and then
returns zero.  The source for the function is in lib/x86/desc.c, and it
is simply this:

     static jmp_buf *exception_jmpbuf;

     void __set_exception_jmpbuf(jmp_buf *addr)
     {
         exception_jmpbuf = addr;
     }

Thanks,

Paolo
