Adds new qtest protocol commands for base64 reads and writes, as well as a proper command for memset instead of faking it via write.
This improves the ahci-test performance on my machine from about 14 seconds to about ~3.5. v3: - Including a memset optimization. v2: - Resend as non-RFC. == For convenience, this branch is available at: https://github.com/jnsnow/qemu.git branch qtest_protocol https://github.com/jnsnow/qemu/tree/qtest_protocol This version is tagged qtest_protocol-v3: https://github.com/jnsnow/qemu/releases/tag/qtest_protocol-v3 == John Snow (5): qtest: allow arbitrarily long sends qtest: Add base64 encoded read/write qtest: add memset to qtest protocol qtest: precompute hex nibs libqos/ahci: Swap memread/write with bufread/write qtest.c | 147 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------- tests/ahci-test.c | 8 +-- tests/libqos/ahci.c | 4 +- tests/libqtest.c | 56 ++++++++++++++++---- tests/libqtest.h | 49 ++++++++++++++++++ 5 files changed, 230 insertions(+), 34 deletions(-) -- 2.1.0
