The kvm-unit-tests recipe is a little out of date with the
dependencies it needs. With that and some tweaking of the of processor
dependencies we can now build kvm-unit-tests for arm64.
As kvm-unit-tests need the libc utils and I use external tooling I
added support for that.
On the way I've added some new config options for QEMU so you can just
select your native, kvm-only QEMU build.
For Arm we can also run with kvmtool so I've added an option to enable
that.
Finally I've added a simple test case for the kvm-unit-tests package.
For v5
- more r-b tags
- addressed comments (see commits)
For v4
- re-base
- update kvm-unit-tests to v2025-07-31
For v3
- add r-b tags
- update kvm-unit-tests to current master
- update kvmtool
- enable kvmtool as alternative to QEMU
For v2
- addressed review comments
- added external libc util support
- added test case
- ran and addressed linter warnings
