Please see the rst doc file in patch 9 for more details.
Sample runs are as follows:

Passed tests:

Changelog:
v6:
  - skip test when dependencies (xorriso for example) are not installed.
  - skip test when run on a platform other than x86_64.
  - move README as an rst file under docs/devel.
  - updated tags.
v5:
  - fixed bits so that grub-mkrescue is built as a static binary.
  - updated the test so that it points to the new bits artifact.
  - V=1 now spits out more meaningful information on failure.
  - added a check to see if xorriso is installed. If not, the test skips with
    a meaningful message instructing the user to install it.
  - fixed README by removing references to stale instructions and adding
    updated instructions.
  - tags updated.
v4:
  - renamed the bits test files as .py2.
  - fixed a bug with missing log file parsing. dump bits logs automatically
    for test failures (no need to re-run with V=1).
  - fixed issues with README file and enhanced it.
  - cosmetic comment updates.
v3:
  - converted the existing test to avocado tests as per the popular
    recommendation. Added appropriate tags.
  - artifact download URL modified based on gitlab-CI URL.

  For biosbits repo:
  - moved to a gitlab repo with me being the maintainer.
  - added .gitlab-ci.yml file to generate the artifacts.
v2:
 - a new class of python based tests introduced that is separate from avocado
   tests or qtests. Can be run by using "make check-pytest".
 - acpi biosbits tests are the first tests to use pytest environment.
 - bios bits tests now download the bits binary archives from a remote
   repository if they are not found locally. The test skips if download
   fails.
 - A new environment variable is introduced that can be passed by the tester
   to specify the location of the bits archives locally. test skips if the
   bits binaries are not found in that location.
 - if pip install of python module fails for whatever reaoson, the test skips.
 - misc code fixes including spell check of the README doc. README has been
   updated as well.
 - addition of SPDX license headers to bits test files.
 - update MAINTAINERS to reflect the new pytest test class.

For biosbits repo:
 - added Dockerfile and build script. Made bios bits build on gcc 11.
   https://github.com/ani-sinha/bits/blob/bits-qemu-logging/Dockerfile
   https://github.com/ani-sinha/bits/blob/bits-qemu-logging/build-artifacts.sh
   The build script generates the zip archive and tarball used by the test.

v1: initial patchset. uses qtest to implement the bios bits tests.

The bits binaries that generate the iso (grub-mkrescue etc) are built
for and are known to work only on x86_64 platform. They might also
work on amd64 but I do not have one at my disposal at the moment to
check.
On other platforms, for example 32 bit x86 and non-x86, those binaries
will likely not work. The test will fail.

confused. I thought we are distributing the iso?

No, the test builds the iso after adding the modified test scripts and
then spawns the vm with it. It is all part of the test itself.
We need to do that so that the iso contains the newly added tests etc.

It's good to have for people developing tests, but for most qemu
developers please just have a ready iso and have avocado fetch it.
It's important to make tests run on all platforms.

We can think about moving iso generation into a VM too
but as a first step I guess we can live with a container.

This changes things a lot and goes down the path of where do we check in
test code changes? Do we deal with multiple repos? Where do we keep iso?
Etc. having a static iso limits us also.

If we can think through and come up with a consensus, I can write a second
test. Else let's just go with this first. If we are really keen on running
tests on multiple platforms, we can have binaries built for those.

And have multiple platform specific branches in bits that have fixes for
those platforms so that bits can run there. Plus the existing test can be
enhanced to pull in binaries from those branches based on the platform on
which it is being run.

It's the same as any firmware really. I don't see much of a difference.

We can go ahead for now.

Oh my.  Not dealing with this is *exactly* what people use

What a mess.
Who is going to be testing all these million platforms?
All this does nothing at all to help developers avoid
bugs and when they do trigger debug the issue. Which is
after all why we have testing.
Yes once in a very long while we are going to tweak
something in the tests, and for that rare occurence
it makes sense to periodically rebuild everything,
otherwise code bitrots.

But the test is supposed to run within a VM anyway, let's
have an image and be done with it.

I am not talking about branches in QEMU but branches in bits.
If you are going to test multiple platforms, you do need to build bits
binaries for them. There is no way around it.
bits is not all platform independent python. It does have binary executables.

Currently bits is built only for the x86 platform. Other platforms are
not tested. I doubt if anyone even tried building bits for arm or
mips.
It makes sense to try things incrementally once we have something going.

Lets discuss this on a separate thread.

I'm not worried about test bits on other targets, but we do run x86
targets on a number of hosts. The current reliance on a special patched
host build tool for only one architecture is the problem. If  we just
download the iso that problem goes away.

Except that the iso is much larger than the current edk2 binaries and there
are serious objections to keeping them along with other bios binary blobs
in qemu repo.
