Subject[RFC PATCH 0/3] Make allmodconfig boot in qemu-arm64
Date
Hi,

With this patch set I've been able to get a allmodconfig kernel to boot
under qemu-system-aarch64.

The patch "config: provide a fragment to enable gdb for qemu" I found
useful when trying to figure out how it fall over. So when I have to
debug a kernel with gdb I just ran this:
$ make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- -skj$(getconf
_NPROCESSORS_ONLN) O=obj-arm64-next-20181213 allmodconfig
kvm_guest.config qemu-gdb.config
$ make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- -skj$(getconf
_NPROCESSORS_ONLN) O=obj-arm64-next-20181213 Image

Before we do the same job on other architectures we wanted to reach out
and ask to see if this seams a reasonable way forward ?

The end goal would be to be able to run test suites on a allmodconfig
kernel. We may end up with another fragment that turn off/on a lot of
debug options and selftests during boot up since that may cause issues
for other test suites like kseftest, LTP and so on.

Cheers,
Anders
