1First, you will need a few things.
2
3(1) My latest branch at https://github.com/bsdimp/freebsd/tree/boot-linuxboot
4 (so the boot-linuxboot branch of my freebsd tree, it's sync to Friday).
5
6(2) a small cache of binaries. You'll need to put these into
7 ~/stand-test-root/cache. You can find the tarball at
8 freefall.freebsd.org:~imp/cache.tar. You can just extract this in ~. These are
9 the linux kernels I'm testing with.
10
11(3) The latest qemu-system-aarch64 (I think ports/pkg version of emulators/qemu
12 is recent enough). If not, I know the latest master of qemu project works.
13
14(4) A recent enough universe that the building of stand will work for all the
15 architectures that I build. You can hack the ARCHES line near the top of
16 tools/boot/full-test.sh if need be, but you'll need at least amd64, arm64 and
17 maybe riscv (I don't have a good way to filter arches in this script yet, since
18 it's at an early state of development.
19
20(5) Build the kernel for at least arm64 and use it as an 'override'. I do this
21 by sudo -E make installkernel
22 DESTDIR=$HOME/stand-test-root/override/arm64-aarch64 TARGET=arm64 after
23 building the kernel. The script is designed to use kernels and binaries from
24 the latest CDs to do the testing, but has a way to override the kernel and
25 since we need to fix arm64...
26
27(6) You'll need to build the images. If you've done 1-5 correctly (and I've not
28 missed anything), then "cd <mumble>/src; sh tools/boot/full-test.sh" will create
29 all the images and scripts to run qemu. There should be no errors, though
30 warnings about zfs.ko etc missing from powerpc is fine (and ignored by the
31 script already).
32
33(7) There will be a script to recreate this created in
34 $HOME/stand-test-root/scripts/arm64-aarch64/linuxboot-test.sh. Just run it with
35 'sh'. And extra args are passed to qemu, so '-s -S' for gdb and
36 '-d trace:gicv3\* -D /tmp/gic.log' for verbose gic tracing (spaces are important).
37
38There's also a linuxboot-test-raw.sh which boots w/o EDK2+Linux.efi but loads
39the kernel directly. and freebsd-test.sh which uses EDK2+loader.efi to boot FreeBSD
40w/o kboot at all.
