I think we could put the check in a function in scripts/arch-run.bash and
just use the same error message for all cases.

Coming back to the series.

arm/efi/run and arm/run source scripts/arch-run.bash; run_tests.sh and
scripts/mkstandalone.sh don't source scripts/arch-run.bash. There doesn't
seem to be a common file that is sourced by all of them.

scripts/mkstandalone.sh uses arch-run.bash, see generate_test().

Are you referring to this bit:

generate_test ()
{
	<snip>
        (echo "#!/usr/bin/env bash"
         cat scripts/arch-run.bash "$TEST_DIR/run")

I think scripts/arch-run.bash would need to be sourced for any functions defined
there to be usable in mkstandalone.sh.

What I was thinking is something like this:

if ! vmm_supported $TARGET; then
	echo "$0 does not support '$TARGET'"
	exit 2
fi

Were you thinking of something else?

I think mkstandalone should error at the top level (when you do make
standalone), and not rely on the individual scripts to error if the VMM is
not supported. That's because I think creating the test files, booting a
machine and copying the files only to find out that kvm-unit-tests was
misconfigured is a pretty suboptimal experience.

run_tests.sh doesn't, but I'm not sure it needs to validate TARGET
since it can leave that to the lower-level scripts.

I put the check in arm/run, and removed it from run_tests.sh, and this is
what I got:

$ ./run_tests.sh selftest-setup
SKIP selftest-setup (./arm/run does not supported 'kvmtool')

which looks good to me.

How about creating a new file in scripts (vmm.bash?) with only this
function?

If we need a new file, then we can add one, but I'd try using
arch-run.bash or common.bash first.

common.bash seems to work (and the name fits), so I'll give that a go.

Thanks,
Alex
