-=== VM test suite to run build in guests ===
-
-== Intro ==
-
-This test suite contains scripts that bootstrap various guest images that have
-necessary packages to build QEMU. The basic usage is documented in Makefile
-help which is displayed with "make vm-test".
-
-== Quick start ==
-
-Run "make vm-test" to list available make targets. Invoke a specific make
-command to run build test in an image. For example, "make vm-build-freebsd"
-will build the source tree in the FreeBSD image. The command can be executed
-from either the source tree or the build dir; if the former, ./configure is not
-needed. The command will then generate the test image in ./tests/vm/ under the
-working directory.
-
-Note: images created by the scripts accept a well-known RSA key pair for SSH
-access, so they SHOULD NOT be exposed to external interfaces if you are
-concerned about attackers taking control of the guest and potentially
-exploiting a QEMU security bug to compromise the host.
-
-== QEMU binary ==
-
-By default, qemu-system-x86_64 is searched in $PATH to run the guest. If there
-isn't one, or if it is older than 2.10, the test won't work. In this case,
-provide the QEMU binary in env var: QEMU=/path/to/qemu-2.10+.
-
-== Make jobs ==
-
-The "-j$X" option in the make command line is not propagated into the VM,
-specify "J=$X" to control the make jobs in the guest.
-
-== Debugging ==
-
-Add "DEBUG=1" and/or "V=1" to the make command to allow interactive debugging
-and verbose output. If this is not enough, see the next section.
-
-== Manual invocation ==
-
-Each guest script is an executable script with the same command line options.
-For example to work with the netbsd guest, use $QEMU_SRC/tests/vm/netbsd:
-
- $ cd $QEMU_SRC/tests/vm
-
- # To bootstrap the image
- $ ./netbsd --build-image --image /var/tmp/netbsd.img
- <...>
-
- # To run an arbitrary command in guest (the output will not be echoed unless
- # --debug is added)
- $ ./netbsd --debug --image /var/tmp/netbsd.img uname -a
-
- # To build QEMU in guest
- $ ./netbsd --debug --image /var/tmp/netbsd.img --build-qemu $QEMU_SRC
-
- # To get to an interactive shell
- $ ./netbsd --interactive --image /var/tmp/netbsd.img sh
-
-== Adding new guests ==
-
-Please look at existing guest scripts for how to add new guests.
-
-Most importantly, create a subclass of BaseVM and implement build_image()
-method and define BUILD_SCRIPT, then finally call basevm.main() from the
-script's main().
-
- - Usually in build_image(), a template image is downloaded from a predefined
- URL. BaseVM._download_with_cache() takes care of the cache and the
- checksum, so consider using it.
-
- - Once the image is downloaded, users, SSH server and QEMU build deps should
- be set up:
-
- * Root password set to BaseVM.ROOT_PASS
- * User BaseVM.GUEST_USER is created, and password set to BaseVM.GUEST_PASS
- * SSH service is enabled and started on boot,
- $QEMU_SRC/tests/keys/id_rsa.pub is added to ssh's "authorized_keys" file
- of both root and the normal user
- * DHCP client service is enabled and started on boot, so that it can
- automatically configure the virtio-net-pci NIC and communicate with QEMU
- user net (10.0.2.2)
- * Necessary packages are installed to untar the source tarball and build
- QEMU
-
- - Write a proper BUILD_SCRIPT template, which should be a shell script that
- untars a raw virtio-blk block device, which is the tarball data blob of the
- QEMU source tree, then configure/build it. Running "make check" is also
- recommended.
