Public bug reported:
kvm-unit-tests performs 12 timer tests in the latest version, one of them
failing with the latest Ubuntu LTS kernel. This issue has been fixed in
mainline commits 7afc4ddbf299a13aaf28406783d141a34c6b4f5a and
245715cbe83ca934af5d20e078fd85175c62995e (part of 4.19.0 release), which are
tagged with "Cc: Stable # 4.15+" and "Fixes: ...".
Could you please backport them to your tree? "patch" applies them with some
fuzz only (no additional fixing needed).
Here is what I did:
- Boot 4.15.0-38-generic on an ARM Juno r1 board (but every arm64 h/w would do).
- Run kvm-unit-tests:
$ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm-unit-tests.git
$ cd kvm-unit-tests
$ ./configure && make
$ ./run_tests.sh
This will mark the timer test as failed:
FAIL timer (12 tests, 1 unexpected failures)
A more detailed log can be get by:
$ arm/run arm/timer.flat
I then fetched the official Ubuntu kernel (apt-get source), applied the two
patches mentioned above and rebuilt the kernel (with the .config from /boot).
This will report the timer as pass:
PASS timer (12 tests)
So could you please backport those two patches to make kvm-unit-tests
(and its users) happy?
Btw: I was wondering whether you have some process to find those stable
fixes, even with the 4.15 base kernel being EOL for quite a while now.
Please bear with me if you do and I was just too impatient ;-)
Thanks!
Andre
