These patches try to improve our Travis CI usage (quite a few failures the last days).
This series include Peter's "Automate coverity scan uploads via Travis" patches (here numbered 3 to 6). See https://www.mail-archive.com/qemu-devel@nongnu.org/msg457443.html Patch 7 is expected to enter /master as of today. Travis warned few months ago: "On Wednesday, June 21st 2017, we are going to update all our Ubuntu Trusty 14.04 images." Patches 2, 10 and 15 use 'travis_retry' feature to avoid aborting a job on network failure, retrying 3 times (default). Patches 8, 19 are upgrades allowing to use recent VMs/toolchains. Patch 12 speed up builds using multicore parallelism, caring about not overkill Travis hardware. Patches 9, 11, 13, 17 speed up builds improving cache usage. Patches 18, 21 silent warnings. Patch 14 gives hint when ./configure fails. Patch 16 split slow gprof/gcov job. Finally patch 1 add a missing rule to build system-qemu binary before running qtests. time comparison: ---------------- current /master https://travis-ci.org/qemu/qemu/builds/245061137: Ran for 2 hrs 4 min 17 sec Total time 7 hrs 34 min 22 sec this seris with 3 more jobs https://travis-ci.org/philmd/qemu/builds/245593509: Ran for 1 hr 26 min 35 sec Total time 6 hrs 32 min 49 sec Regards, Phil.
