[Xen-devel] [OSSTEST PATCH 00/16] Upgrade to Stretch

[Wei Liu <wei.liu2@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all

This series upgrades osstest to Debian Strech, which aims to:

1. Keep osstest up-to-date.
2. Enable us to collect aggregate gcov data (depends on newer gcc in Stretch).
3. Enable us to run (yet to be implemented) hypervisor fuzzer in the (distant)
   future (depends on newer gcc in Stretch).

There are a few issues:

1. Debian stock kernel has a bug that causes local migration fails.
2. Hosts merlot* don't work well even without xen:
   2.1 Sometimes they don't boot after debian-install.
   2.2 Sometimes they stall when installing packages, causing tests to time out.
   These aren't really related to Stretch.
3. The unstability with Arndale boards' nic is more prominent. Or worse -- they
   have become completely unusable. I don't have enough data yet. We might
   need to work around this, but I'm not sure how to do that yet.
4. Pvgrub1 won't work due to it is bitrot and can't deal with ext4 fs with
   64bit enabled.
5. Osstest currently doesn't have any ARM64 boxes, so I'm not sure if they
   will require any fixes.
6. Rumprun doesn't build due to its build system can't cope. This should be
   fixed in rumprun.

I have taken the following measures:

1. Mark merlot* unsuitable for Stretch (!suite-stretch) to avoid false
   positives during development.
2. Drop pvgrub1 tests.
