[Qemu-devel] [kvm-unit-tests PATCH v7 09/11] arm/locking-tests: add comprehensive locking test

[Alex Bennée]

This test has been written mainly to stress multi-threaded TCG behaviour
but will demonstrate failure by default on real hardware. The test takes
the following parameters:

  - "lock" use GCC's locking semantics
  - "atomic" use GCC's __atomic primitives
  - "wfelock" use WaitForEvent sleep
  - "excl" use load/store exclusive semantics

Also two more options allow the test to be tweaked

  - "noshuffle" disables the memory shuffling
  - "count=%ld" set your own per-CPU increment count

Signed-off-by: Alex Bennée <address@hidden>

---
v2
  - Don't use thumb style strexeq stuff
  - Add atomic and wfelock tests
  - Add count/noshuffle test controls
  - Move barrier tests to separate test file
v4
  - fix up unitests.cfg to use correct test name
  - move into "locking" group, remove barrier tests
  - use a table to add tests, mark which are expected to work
  - correctly report XFAIL
v5
  - max out at -smp 4 in unittest.cfg
v7
  - make test control flags bools
  - default the count to 100000 (so it doesn't timeout)
