From: Andrew Jones <drjones@xxxxxxxxxx> KVM on arm64 can create 32 bit and 64 bit VMs. kvm-unit-tests tries to take advantage of this by setting the aarch64=off -cpu option. However, get_qemu_accelerator() isn't aware that KVM on arm64 can run both types of VMs and it selects qemu-system-arm instead of qemu-system-aarch64. This leads to an error in premature_failure() and the test is marked as skipped: $ ./run_tests.sh selftest-setup SKIP selftest-setup (qemu-system-arm: -accel kvm: invalid accelerator kvm) Fix this by setting QEMU to the correct qemu binary before calling get_qemu_accelerator().
