Here's another bundle of test fixes, focused on making the tests
faster and more reliable.

Based on my earlier series cleaning up the port forwarding data
structures.

  test: Add wait_for() shell helper
  test: Remove unnecessary sleeps from layout functions
  test: Remove unnecessary sleeps from shutdown tests
  test: More robust wait for pasta/passt to be ready
  test: Use --config-net for namespace setup
  test: Simplify data handling for transfer tests
  test: Remove unneccessary pane naming from layout_two_guests
  clang-tidy: Disable 'readability-identifier-length'
  cppcheck: Avoid excessive scanning due to system headers
  cppcheck: Run quietly
  Makefile: Simplify getting target triple for compiler
  cppcheck: Add target specific headers

[PATCH 01/12] test: Add wait_for() shell helper

[David Gibson]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1196 bytes --]

Add a shell helper function to wait for some command to succeed - typically
a test for something to be done by a background process.  Use it in the
context code which waits for the guest to respond to ssh-over-vsock
connections.

While at it, could we replace this with sleep 0.1 || sleep 1, just in
case we happen to run in an environment not supporting sleep 0.1?

Good idea, I'll respin with that change.

Actually, they kind of do for the CI terminal captures: especially the
sleep 3 before closing panes is helpful to easily pause on the results
of the last test that was run there.

Also the sleep 1 after setting up the new layout gives me a bit more
time to realise what's going on.

I know, perhaps it's not a very common use case, but on the other hand
we're just saving 20 seconds altogether, it doesn't feel like it's that
much right now.

Hmm, I guess.  I guess I find the idea of looking back at video of
tests rather than logs a bit alien.

I suppose.  It is rather more significant when restricting the tests
down to a smaller handful for debugging.

These are hangovers from older ways of shutting down the pasta/passt

[PATCH 04/12] test: More robust wait for pasta/passt to be ready

[David Gibson]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 3163 bytes --]

When we start passt or pasta, it may take a short time to be ready to
handle packets, especially if running under valgrind.  We have a
number of semi-arbitrary fixed sleeps to account for this.

We can do this more robustly by exploiting the fact that pasta/passt
doesn't write its pidfile until it's ready to go, so if we wait for
the pidfile to be created, we can proceed with confidence.

[PATCH 05/12] test: Use --config-net for namespace setup

[David Gibson]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 3947 bytes --]

The setup functions for passt_in_ns and two_guests perform some fairly slow
dhclient calls to configure the network in the namespace before starting
the guest.  This isn't really part of the tests, just necessary for the
operations later.

We can simplify and speed this up a bit by using pasta's '--config-net'
option to configure the networking for us.  As a bonus this means we have
at least a minimal test of the --config-net option itself.

[PATCH 06/12] test: Simplify data handling for transfer tests

[David Gibson]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 43889 bytes --]

Many of our tests are based around performing transfers of sample data
across passt/pasta created links.  The data flow here can be a bit
hard to follow since, e.g. we create a file transfer it to the guest,
then transfer it back to the host across several different tests.
This also means that the test cases aren't independent of each other.

Because we don't have the original file available at both ends in some
cases, we compare them by generating md5sums at each end and comparing
them, which is a bit complicated.

Make a number of changes to simplify this:
  1. Pre-generate the sample data files as a test asset, rather than
     building them on the fly during the tests proper
  2. Include the sample data files in the mbuto guest image
  3. Because we have good copies of the original data available in all
     contexts, we can now simply use 'cmp' to check if the transfer
     has worked, avoiding md5sum complications.
  4. Similarly we can always use the original copy of the sample data
     on the send side of each transfer, meaning that the tests become
     more independent of each other.

[PATCH 07/12] test: Remove unneccessary pane naming from layout_two_guests

[David Gibson]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 695 bytes --]

This loop goes through and gives a numeric label to each pane, even though
we name the panes properly shortly thereafter.  Looks like a leftover from
some earlier version.  Remove it.

I would rather keep those (unrelated) switches on different lines, I
find it's a bit easier to follow through the comments like that.

I can change this on merge if you agree, unless you respin.

I reviewed the rest of the series, it looks great to me, I have no
further observations -- but I haven't tested it yet.

[PATCH 09/12] cppcheck: Avoid excessive scanning due to system headers

[David Gibson]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 2475 bytes --]

make cppcheck takes a long time, because it checks a large number of
different configurations.  It's assembling this very large set of
configurations not because of conditionals in the passt code itself, but
from those in the system headers.  By adding --config-exclude directives
to stop considering those configs, make cppcheck because around 60x faster.

Similarly, any problems that are found in the system headers are not our
problem, and so we can uniformly suppress them, rather than having specific
suppressions for particular problems in particular files (which might not
be correct for all different distro / version combinations either).

[PATCH 11/12] Makefile: Simplify getting target triple for compiler

[David Gibson]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1300 bytes --]

We do some manipulation of the output of cc -v to get the target triple
for the platform, to locate headers for cppcheck.  However, we can get
this more easily with cc -dumpmachine - and in fact we do so elsewhere in
the Makefile.
