Here's a KVM-unit-test to check the persistency of SPRs during migration. First patch adds a helper script for doing migration tests in the kvm-unit-test framework, and the second patch contains the SPR tester. v4: - Fix the error paths in run_migration() - use "exit 2" instead of "exit 1" to avoid trouble with the return code magic in the powerpc/run script and make sure to terminate the two QEMU instances in case of migration failure. v3: - Migration shell script code has been moved to a helper function in arch-run.bash, so that this now also works with the standalone tests. - Introduced the helper function migration_cmd there, too, so that other architectures can use this, too. - Use "$@" instead of $* when calling QEMU. v2: - Addressed review feedback from v1 - Now using cpu_relax() instead of asm volatile ("nop") Thomas Huth (2): Add the possibility to do simple migration tests powerpc: Add Special Purpose Register persistency test powerpc/Makefile.common | 3 +- powerpc/cstart64.S | 2 + powerpc/run | 2 +- powerpc/sprs.c | 304 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ powerpc/unittests.cfg | 5 + scripts/arch-run.bash | 63 ++++++++++ scripts/runtime.bash | 3 + 7 files changed, 380 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) create mode 100644 powerpc/sprs.c -- 1.8.3.1
