[Xen-devel] [PATCH OSSTEST 00/12] Add nested xen on xen test case

[Robert Ho <robert.hu@xxxxxxxxx>]

This patch set adds nested HVM test case for osstest.
In this test case, a Xen hypervisor (L1) runs on top of another 
Xen hypervisor (L0). 
Upon L1 hypervisor, we will then create a nested guest (L2), and test 
if the Linux guest can then be installed and run well.
About nested Xen virtualization, refer to 
http://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Nested_Virtualization_in_Xen.

In this test set, we add a build job 'build-amd64-hvm' to 
build hvm kernel for nest test steps use.

Test steps
        0. run 'build-amd64' job and 'build-amd64-hvm', to prepare xen 
installation
           tarball and hvm guest kernel
        1. run 'test-amd64-amd6-nested' job, it does following:
                a. invoke test step of 'ts-debain-hvm-install' to install 
                   a normal HVM guest
                b. invoke test step of 'ts-xen-install' to install xen on 
                   the normal guest, alter it into a L1 hypervisor
                c. invoke test step of 'ts-debain-hvm-install' again, but 
                   take the L1 hypervisor as host, install the L2 guest on it
                d. invoke test step of 'ts-guest-destroy', clean up L2 guest.

This patch set reuses 'ts-debian-hvm-install' for both L1 host installation 
and L2 host installation, using 'nested' input param with value of 'nested_L1'
 and 'nested_L1' to distinguish the 2 context.
It also reuses 'ts-xen-install' with 'nested' input param to differentiate L1
 Xen installation from L0 Xen installation.
This patch series  has been tested on test machines of amd64 arch, with hvm 
domain0 of Linux kernel 3.18.5, in standalone mode.


Robert Ho (12):
      Add support of parsing grub which has 'submenu' primitive
      In nested test case, guest boot will take more time.
      Designate vif device model to e1000.   
      Just some indentation adustments.
      Add and expose some testsupport APIs
      Manipulate $ho IP assignment for nest L2 situation
      For hvm guest configuration, config console to 'hvc0'
      Add test job for nest test case.
      Add build-debain-hvm build job.
      Compose the main body of test-nested test job.  
      Changes on test step of debain hvm guest install
      Changes to test step of xen install
