Series automation: introduce an x86_64 Dom0/DomU test | expand

From: Stefano Stabellini <stefano.stabellini@xilinx.com>

Build a 5.10 kernel to be used as Dom0 and DomU kernel for testing. This
is almost the same as the existing ARM64 recipe for Linux 5.9, the
only differences are:
- upgrade to latest 5.10.x stable
- force Xen modules to built-in (on ARM it was already done by defconfig)

Also add the exporting job to build.yaml so that the binary can be used
during gitlab-ci runs.

You could start a new docker "RUN" step to build the kernel.

This command line could be replaced by:
    sed -i '/XEN/s/=m$/=y/' .config
But I guess Kconfig don't mind duplicated symbols.

This apt cleaning stuff should be done right after `apt install`, and
thus before starting to build the kernel, I think.

Any any case:

defconfig is huuuuge.  Can we use tinyconfig instead?

Also, you want to turn off CONFIG_MODULES seeing as you only copy
bzImage to the test.

This also fixes the fact that `grep XEN` also matches CONFIG_NETXEN_NIC
which has nothing to do with Xen.

Tinyconfig would be a good idea but it crashes on QEMU with the appended
boot log. I did:

# make tinyconfig
# make xen.config
# make bzImage

Of course we could have our own tailored special kernel config for this
kernel but I like the simplicify of "make tinyconfig" or "make
defconfig" followed by "make xen.config".

Unless you know one kconfig option or two that we need to add to
tinyconfig to make it work my preference is to go with defconfig for
now.

You will need to add the dom0 and SMP related config options at least.

I'll have a look at config.xen, which is a little bit weird: it
configures the backends, but not dom0.

Thanks, it would be good if make tinyconfig && make xen.config would
just work on QEMU. In the meantime I'll keep defconfig for this test, we
can always improve later.

Yes, that works, thanks!

We don't currently have any patches under automation/ but I guess I
could add this patch under automation/tests-artifacts/kernel/

Sorry, I spoke too soon: same error as before:

https://gitlab.com/xen-project/people/sstabellini/xen/-/jobs/1722909607/raw

(XEN) Hardware Dom0 crashed: rebooting machine in 5 seconds.

No output from the kernel.

By the way you can repro this at your end by doing the following:

# docker run -v /tmp:/tmp registry.gitlab.com/xen-project/xen/debian:stretch

Then inside the container follow pretty much what this script does:

xen.git/automation/scripts/qemu-alpine-x86_64.sh

For instance, you can do:

---
cat >> binaries/pxelinux.0 << EOF
#!ipxe

kernel /tmp/xen console=com1
module /tmp/bzImage console=hvc0
module /tmp/xen-rootfs.cpio.gz
boot
EOF

qemu-system-x86_64 \
    -cpu qemu64,+svm \
    -m 2G -smp 2 \
    -monitor none -serial stdio \
    -nographic \
    -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=n0 \
    -netdev user,id=n0,tftp=binaries,bootfile=/pxelinux.0
---

Just place your xen, bzImage and xen-rootfs.cpio.gz (the rootfs is not
required) binaries under /tmp and you are good to go.

Cheers,

Stefano

This is not very surprising, as tinyconfig doesn't have CONFIG_PRINTK.
BTW, it doesn't have initrd support either (BLK_DEV_RAM and
BLK_DEV_INITRD), so I added those to xen.config as well.

With the (updated) attached patch the kernel boots fine as dom0 until
rootfs is tried to be mounted on a physical machine.

I've added CONFIG_BUG, too, in order to have more debugging output if
needed.

Much better, now there is output:
https://gitlab.com/xen-project/people/sstabellini/xen/-/jobs/1726396600/raw

This kernel is used as dom0 and from the logs it looks like for dom0 we
need a couple more things:
- flocks
- the kconfig to recognize #!/bin/sh

CONFIG_FILE_LOCKING probably wants to be added.

This is probably CONFIG_BINFMT_SCRIPT.

I'm not sure those should be added to the upstream xen.config.

I don't know either... They are certainly required for dom0, but not for
domU. Do we want xen.config to be for domU only or for domU and dom0? If
we want it to be for both, then CONFIG_FILE_LOCKING and
CONFIG_BINFMT_SCRIPT should be added otherwise not.
