I don't know how good QEMU's framework is, but it'd be nice to have your
testing code checked into the tree, in case anybody decides to do major
surgery on the ARM backend.

Thanks. I'll resend this set with the softfloat-related comments addressed
for the two patches that affects (and the remaining unchanged patches
with your Reviewed-by: tag on them).

 surgery on the ARM backend.

I'm not sure how well it would fit into being committed to qemu (yet):
it works as a program where you run half of it on real ARM hardware
and the other half under qemu (or valgrind) and it compares register
results after executing instructions by looking at the sigcontext struct
in a signal handler. Plus there's a perl script to generate random
instruction set sequences to feed the test program. It could be made
more automated and independent of having a reference bit of hardware
but I haven't got round to that yet. (Also since it has utility outside of
just testing qemu I'm not sure if it really belongs in the qemu repo.)

That does sound a little heavyweight.  Scripting gdb is also a possibility.

FWIW--and this is not particularly conducive to random insn
sequences--the approach taken when doing the AltiVec bits was to have
code that looked like:

  for each insn:
 for a suitable set of inputs:
setup interesting registers (status control registers etc.)
load inputs into registers
execute
record interesting post conditions in file.out

You'd get an output file from real hardware and an output file from the
simulator and then compare them, fixing differences as you go.  The
actual code included bits to compare the files as well as doing the
generation.

The output files can be somewhat large, but I'm sure clever engineering
could be applied to make them smaller.

Of course, the *real* problems are in undefined-behavior land. :)

Mmm. The trouble with that is it's more faff per instruction than I'd
like. The nice thing about random instruction sequences is you can
have a config file that says:
VQSHL_reg_a A1  001 u 0 d sz:2 vn:4 vd:4 0100 n 0 m 1 vm:4
VQSHL_reg_b A1  001 u 0 d sz:2 vn:3 0 vd:3 0 0100 n 1 m 1 vm:3 0

and that's all you need to test the VQSHL(reg) forms, and it's basically
the instruction format out of the ARM ARM. (In fact it ought to be a
single line but qemu doesn't correctly UNDEF on the Q==1, lsbit of
Vd/Vn/Vm!=0 case so I am avoiding generating it.)

 You'd get an output file from real hardware and an output file from the
 simulator and then compare them, fixing differences as you go.  The
 actual code included bits to compare the files as well as doing the
 generation.

You could certainly do the 'record/replay file' part; at the moment
what I have does about what I want, though :-).

Heh. We don't even correctly handle entirely well defined and should
UNDEF land yet...
