Dennis Kempin 0797a55462 Framework for extended integration tests
This CL expands the existing boot.rs test to not just boot a kernel
but also provide a debian-based rootfs and a special init binary
that is used to communicate between test code and the guest VM.

The delegate binary listens for commands on /dev/ttyS1 and returns
the stdout of the executed command.
This allows the test code to setup pipes for the serial device to
issue commands in the client and receive the command output, which
provides a good foundation for tests of basic functionality without
the need to pass test binary code into the guest.

The integration tests will pull a prebuilt kernel and rootfs image
from cloud storage unless local files are specified via ENV variables.

The integration_tests/guest_under_test directory contains the files
needed to build and upload those prebuilts.

Crosvm Integration Tests

These tests run a crosvm VM on the host to verify end to end behavior. They use a prebuilt guest kernel and rootfs, which is downloaded from google cloud storage.

Running with locally built kernel/rootfs

If the test needs to run offline, or you want to make changes to the kernel or rootfs, you have to specify the environment variables CROSVM_CARGO_TEST_KERNEL_BINARY and CROSVM_CARGO_TEST_ROOTFS_IMAGE to point to the right files.

The use_local_build.sh script does this for you:

$ source guest_under_test/use_local_build.sh

Uploading prebuilts

Note: Only Googlers with access to the crosvm-testing cloud storage bin can upload prebuilts.

To upload the modified rootfs, you will have to uprev the PREBUILT_VERSION variable in:

  • ./guest_under_test/PREBUILT_VERSION
  • src/third_party/chromiumos-overlay/chromeos-base/crosvm/crosvm-9999.ebuild

Then run the upload script to build and upload the new prebuilts. Never try to modify an existing prebuilt as the new images may break tests in older versions.
