# Welcome to kvm-unit-tests
See http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/KVM-unit-tests for a high-level
description of this project, as well as running tests and adding
tests HOWTOs.
# Building the tests
This directory contains sources for a kvm test suite.
To create the test images do:
./configure
make
in this directory. Test images are created in ./<ARCH>/*.flat
## Standalone tests
The tests can be built as standalone
To create and use standalone tests do:
./configure
make standalone
(send tests/some-test somewhere)
(go to somewhere)
./some-test
'make install' will install all tests in PREFIX/share/kvm-unit-tests/tests,
each as a standalone test.
# Running the tests
Then use the runner script to detect the correct invocation and
invoke the test:
./x86-run ./x86/msr.flat
or:
./run_tests.sh
to run them all.
To select a specific qemu binary, specify the QEMU=<path>
environment variable:
QEMU=/tmp/qemu/x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 ./x86-run ./x86/msr.flat
# Contributing
## Directory structure
.: configure script, top-level Makefile, and run_tests.sh
./scripts: helper scripts for building and running tests
./lib: general architecture neutral services for the tests
./lib/<ARCH>: architecture dependent services for the tests
./<ARCH>: the sources of the tests and the created objects/images
See <ARCH>/README for architecture specific documentation.
## Style
Currently there is a mix of indentation styles so any changes to
existing files should be consistent with the existing style. For new
files:
- C: please use standard linux-with-tabs
- Shell: use TABs for indentation
## Patches
