Hi Cleber,

Few minor questions...

This acceptance test, validates that a full blown Linux guest can
successfully boot in QEMU.  In this specific case, the guest chosen is
Fedora version 31.

   * x86_64, pc and q35 machine types, with and without kvm as an
     accelerator

   * aarch64 and virt machine type, with and without kvm as an
     accelerator

   * ppc64 and pseries machine type

   * s390x and s390-ccw-virtio machine type

The Avocado vmimage utils library is used to download and cache the
Linux guest images, and from those images a snapshot image is created
and given to QEMU.  If a qemu-img binary is available in the build
directory, it's used to create the snapshot image, so that matching
qemu-system-* and qemu-img are used in the same test run.  If qemu-img
is not available in the build tree, one is attempted to be found
installed system-wide (in the $PATH).  If qemu-img is not found in the
build dir or in the $PATH, the test is canceled.

The method for checking the successful boot is based on "cloudinit"
and its "phone home" feature.  The guest is given an ISO image with
the location of the phone home server, and the information to post
(the instance ID).  Upon receiving the correct information, from the
guest, the test is considered to have PASSed.

This test is currently limited to user mode networking only, and
instructs the guest to connect to the "router" address that is hard
coded in QEMU.

To create the cloudinit ISO image that will be used to configure the
guest, the pycdlib library is also required and has been added as
requirement to the virtual environment created by "check-venv".

The console output is read by a separate thread, by means of the
Avocado datadrainer utility module.

Hmmm are we assuming everybody has multicore systems?


Not really, but isn't it possible to have virtual CPUs > actual CPUs?
IMO testing with smp > 1 is a better test than with smp == 1.

I guess it is unusual to run acceptance tests on non-multicore systems, so this is probably not an issue.

We should not fail the test if this condition is not possible.


You mean from the host side, right?  I have doubts about what to do
here, in the sense that we can't easily and reliably set aside memory
in the system to run qemu.  We could of course check the amount of
physical or free memory in the system at the test start time, but
there would still be somewhat of a race condition.

Looking at:
https://docs.python.org/2/library/platform.html#cross-platform

Maybe we can use:

  @skipUnless(sys.maxsize > 2**32, 'Require 64-bit host')


Also, with tests running in parallel (ie, avocado nrun
tests/acceptance/), this would be even trickier...

Yeah this is a complex case. Maybe for now we can add a tag for the minimum of memory required for a test. Then later it might be easier figure something.

This class can help:

Hmm 'pc' is a confusing alias, kept for backward compatibility...
'q35' is also an alias, see:

Historically the 'pc' machine was aiming at modeling a 'PC compatible' machine, as described here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_PC_compatible

We currently have 3 emulated PC machines (excluding the virtual machines such MicroVM, Xen).

Some history:

- commit 0824d6fc6
  The first pc machine is introduced, inside main().
  It only use an ISA bus. Today we know this as 'isapc'.

- commit 80cabfad1
  Refactor, the pc machine is extracted to hw/pc.c

- commit 69b910399
  PCI support is added.

- commit bb0c6722b
  PCI is used by default. The machine becomes what we today
  calls 'pc'.

- commit b5ff2d6e2
  The machine is officially called 'pc'.

- commit 3dbbdc255
  The 'isapc' machine is added back: it is the 'pc' machine
  with PCI disabled.

- commit df2d8b3ed
  The 'q35' machine is added.
  Instead of a i440FX northbridge and PIIX3 southbridge
  chipsets, it uses a Q35 northbridge and ICH9 southbridge.
  See: https://wiki.qemu.org/Features/Q35

So 'pc' is more a 'family' of different machines.

You can verify the codebase, the abstract parent is in hw/i386/pc.c:

static const TypeInfo pc_machine_info = {
    .name = TYPE_PC_MACHINE,
    .parent = TYPE_X86_MACHINE,
    .abstract = true,
    .instance_size = sizeof(PCMachineState),

While the children implementations are hw/i386/pc_piix.c and hw/i386/pc_q35.c (pc_piix.c implements both isapc + i440fx).

I'm not sure why one is named by its southbridge chipset, and
the other one by its northbridge. I suppose because for a long
time the i440fx+piix were mixed in the same file. I cleaned that
recently in commits 0fd61a2d1..0f25d865a1:

$  git log --oneline --reverse 0fd61a2d1~..0f25d865a1
