kvmtool, unless told otherwise, will do its best to make sure that a kernel successfully boots in a virtual machine. Among things like automatically creating a rootfs, it also adds extra parameters to the kernel command line. This is actively harmful to kvm-unit-tests, because some tests parse the kernel command line and they will fail if they encounter the options added by kvmtool. Fortunately for us, kvmtool commit 5613ae26b998 ("Add --nodefaults command line argument") addded the --nodefaults kvmtool parameter which disables all the implicit virtual machine configuration that cannot be disabled by using other parameters, like modifying the kernel command line. Always use --nodefaults to allow a test to run. kvmtool can be too verbose when running a virtual machine, and this is controlled with parameters. Add those to the default kvmtool command line to reduce this verbosity to a minimum. Before: $ vm run arm/selftest.flat --cpus 2 --mem 256 --params "setup smp=2 mem=256" Info: # lkvm run -k arm/selftest.flat -m 256 -c 2 --name guest-5035 Unknown subtest EXIT: STATUS=127 Warning: KVM compatibility warning. virtio-9p device was not detected. While you have requested a virtio-9p device, the guest kernel did not initialize it. Please make sure that the guest kernel was compiled with CONFIG_NET_9P_VIRTIO=y enabled in .config. Warning: KVM compatibility warning. virtio-net device was not detected. While you have requested a virtio-net device, the guest kernel did not initialize it. Please make sure that the guest kernel was compiled with CONFIG_VIRTIO_NET=y enabled in .config. Info: KVM session ended normally. After: $ vm run arm/selftest.flat --nodefaults --network mode=none --loglevel=warning --cpus 2 --mem 256 --params "setup smp=2 mem=256" PASS: selftest: setup: smp: number of CPUs matches expectation INFO: selftest: setup: smp: found 2 CPUs PASS: selftest: setup: mem: memory size matches expectation INFO: selftest: setup: mem: found 256 MB SUMMARY: 2 tests EXIT: STATUS=1 Note that KVMTOOL_DEFAULT_OPTS can be overwritten by an environment variable with the same name, but it's not documented in the help string for run_tests.sh. This has been done on purpose, since overwritting KVMTOOL_DEFAULT_OPTS should only be necessary for debugging or development purposes.
