2018-04-30hw/s390x: Allow to configure the consoles with the "-serial" parameterThomas Huth
The consoles ("sclpconsole" and "sclplmconsole") can only be configured with "-device" and "-chardev" so far. Other machines use the convenience option "-serial" to configure the default consoles, even for virtual consoles like spapr-vty on the pseries machine. So let's support this option on s390x, too. This way we can easily enable the serial console here again with "-nodefaults", for example: qemu-system-s390x -no-shutdown -nographic -nodefaults -serial mon:stdio ... which is way shorter than typing: qemu-system-s390x -no-shutdown -nographic -nodefaults \ -chardev stdio,id=c1,mux=on -device sclpconsole,chardev=c1 \ -mon chardev=c1 The -serial parameter can also be used if you only want to see the QEMU monitor on stdio without using -nodefaults, but not the console output. That's something that is pretty impossible with the current code today: qemu-system-s390x -no-shutdown -nographic -serial none While we're at it, this patch also maps the second -serial option to the "sclplmconsole", so that there is now an easy way to configure this second console on s390x, too, for example: qemu-system-s390x -no-shutdown -nographic -serial null -serial mon:stdio Additionally, the new code is also smaller than the old one and we have less s390x-specific code in vl.c :-) I've also checked that migration still works as expected by migrating a guest with console output back and forth between a qemu-system-s390x that has this patch and an instance without this patch.

2018-03-18tests/boot-serial: Check the 40p machine, tooThomas Huth
The "40p" machine is using the Open Hack'Ware BIOS, just like the "prep" machine, so we can test it accordingly with the boot-serial tester, too. While we're at it, also change the strings that we are using for the "prep" machine, so that this test now also checks some CLI parameters.

2018-02-16tests/boot-serial-test: Fix problem with timeout due to dropped charactersThomas Huth
Commit 92b540dac9fc3a5 introduce a counter to handle the timeouts in a better way. But in case ccnt reaches 512, the current read character is ignored - and if that character is part of the string that we are looking for, the test fails to match the string. Almost all of the tests look for a string within the first 512 bytes of firmware output, so the problem never triggered there. But the hppa test that has been added recently looks for a longer string at the very end of a long output, thus there's a chance that we miss a character there so that the test fails unexpectedly. Fix it by *not* reading and dropping a character if the counter reaches 512.

2017-12-21tests/boot-serial-test: Add code to allow to specify our own kernel or biosThomas Huth
QEMU only ships with some few firmware images, i.e. we can currently run the boot-serial test only on a very limited set of machines. But writing some characters to the default UART of a machine can often be done with some few lines of assembly, so we add the possibility to the boot-serial tester to use its own mini-kernels or mini-firmwares. We write such images then into a file that we can load with the "-kernel" or "-bios" parameter when we launch QEMU.

2017-12-21tests/boot-serial-test: Make sure that we check the timeout regularlyThomas Huth
If the guest continuesly writes characters to the UART, we never leave the inner while loop and thus never check whether we've reached the timeout value. So if we fail to find the expected string in the UART output, the test just hangs and never finishs. Use a counter to regularly break out of the while loop to check the timeout.

2017-10-20libqtest: Add qtest_[v]startf()Eric Blake
We have several callers that were formatting the argument strings themselves; consolidate this effort by adding new convenience functions directly in libqtest, and update some call-sites that can benefit from it. Note that the new functions qtest_startf() and qtest_vstartf() behave more like qtest_init() (the caller must assign global_qtest after the fact, rather than getting it implicitly set). This helps us prepare for future patches that get rid of the global variable, by explicitly highlighting which tests still depend on it now.

2017-03-03powernv: Don't test POWER9 CPU yetDavid Gibson
A couple of tests for the work-in-progress 'powernv' machine type attempt to test on POWER9 CPUs. However the POWER9 CPU support is incomplete and this doesn't really work. In particular the firmware image we have currently assumes the presence of the SDR1 register, which no longer exists on POWER9. We only got away with this so far, because of a different bug which added SDR1 to POWER9 even though it shouldn't be there. For now, remove POWER9 testing of powernv, POWER8 testing will do for now until the POWER9 support is more complete. Signed-off-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
