What they do is verify that our ACPI tables are sane - in addition to the manual review with disassembler we do currently. We already have tests that verify that qemu generates expected ACPI tables and that is enough for what you describe. A miscompiled qemu will generate acpi tables that differ from expected ones and the simple bit for bit test will fail. No need to run acpipica within guest. > -- > |: https://berrange.com -o-https://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange :| > |: https://libvirt.org -o-https://fstop138.berrange.com :| > |: https://entangle-photo.org-o-https://www.instagram.com/dberrange :|

That feels very dubious. Upstream doesnt test every scenario that users build & run in. Especially with Fedora rawhide we've often found problems which upstream QEMU missed, particularly where new GCC releases have bugs causing subtle mis-compilation of code.

Hmm - why? We don't have to put the submodule in the tarball if we don't want to. People consuming tarballs probably do not need these tests anyway - just a basic smoketest is all that is needed. -- MST

Ok, with that kind of size, it is definitely not something we want to be committing to git either, nor consuming via a submodule since the latter would bloat the release tarballs too.

For example, https://github.com/philmd/qemu-testing-blob/tree/malta_i6400/mips/malta/mips64el . Maybe in this case, we can do the same - store this in my github and the test wgets it. The flip side is that this will introduce external dependencies for this test.

[PATCH 00/12] Introduce new acpi/smbios qtests using biosbits
Biosbits is a software written by Josh Triplett that can be downloaded by visiting https://biosbits.org/. The github codebase can be found here: https://github.com/biosbits/bits/tree/master. It is a software that exercizes the bios components such as acpi and smbios tables directly through acpica bios interpreter (a freely available C based library written by Intel, downloadable from https://acpica.org/ and is included with biosbits) without an operating system getting involved in between. There are several advantages to directly testing the bios in a real physical machine or VM as opposed to indirectly discovering bios issues through the operating system. For one thing, the OSes tend to hide bios problems from the end user. The other is that we have more control of what we wanted to test and how by directly using acpica interpreter on top of the bios on a running system. More details on the inspiration for developing biosbits and its real life uses can be found in (a) and (b). This patchset contains QEMU qtests written in python that exercizes the QEMU bios components using biosbits and reports test failures. Details of each of the files added by this patchset are provided in the README file which is part of Patch 11. Every effort to contact Josh, through various means including email, twitter, linkedIn etc has failed. Hence, the changes to build biosbits with the newer compiler, upgrade acpica and other changes are currently maintained in a forked project in my personal github. We may want to maintain bits in a separate fork in a stable repository that is accessible by QEMU developers. The newly introduced qtest currently only run for x86_64 platform. They pass both when running make check on a baremetal box as well as from inside a vm. Thanks to Igor M for pointing me to this work.

[PATCH 00/12] Introduce new acpi/smbios qtests using biosbits
Biosbits is a software written by Josh Triplett that can be downloaded by visiting https://biosbits.org/. The github codebase can be found here: https://github.com/biosbits/bits/tree/master. It is a software that exercizes the bios components such as acpi and smbios tables directly through acpica bios interpreter (a freely available C based library written by Intel, downloadable from https://acpica.org/ and is included with biosbits) without an operating system getting involved in between. There are several advantages to directly testing the bios in a real physical machine or VM as opposed to indirectly discovering bios issues through the operating system. For one thing, the OSes tend to hide bios problems from the end user. The other is that we have more control of what we wanted to test and how by directly using acpica interpreter on top of the bios on a running system. More details on the inspiration for developing biosbits and its real life uses can be found in (a) and (b). This patchset contains QEMU qtests written in python that exercizes the QEMU bios components using biosbits and reports test failures. Details of each of the files added by this patchset are provided in the README file which is part of Patch 11. Every effort to contact Josh, through various means including email, twitter, linkedIn etc has failed. Hence, the changes to build biosbits with the newer compiler, upgrade acpica and other changes are currently maintained in a forked project in my personal github. We may want to maintain bits in a separate fork in a stable repository that is accessible by QEMU developers. The newly introduced qtest currently only run for x86_64 platform. They pass both when running make check on a baremetal box as well as from inside a vm. Thanks to Igor M for pointing me to this work.
