[PATCH 1/4] tests/qtest: Add attrs support to qtest server memory commands
Posted by Tao Tang 1 day, 19 hours ago
Extend qtest memory access commands to accept an optional attrs argument.

Supported attrs:
- secure (x86/Arm)
- space=non-secure|secure|root|realm (Arm-only)

For memory commands, parse attrs, select the corresponding AddressSpace
with cpu_asidx_from_attrs(), and issue accesses with the matching
MemTxAttrs.

Cover scalar and bulk memory commands, including:
- read{b,w,l,q} / write{b,w,l,q}
- read / write
- b64read / b64write
- memset

Also reject invalid attrs and excessive arguments, and document the new
command forms in qtest.c, and use qtest_send_memtx_error() to return
ERR for memory access failures.

Preserve legacy no-attrs semantics for compatibility: those commands
continue to ignore MemTxResult and return OK.

You don't need has_attrs and this if() statement at all:
you've written qtest_parse_mem_attrs() to correctly return
MEMTXATTRS_UNSPECIFIED for the "attrs argument is a NULL pointer"
case, so the codepath below will handle that correctly. Similarly
for all the other similar places below.

Yes. has_attrs is redundant here, so I'll fold the no-attrs case into 
the common parse&get-AS path and keep only the legacy MemTxResult 
handling difference for the no-attrs form. It will look roughly like:

         ret = qemu_strtou64(words[2], NULL, 0, &value);
         g_assert(ret == 0);
         if (!qtest_parse_mem_attrs(chr, words[3], &attrs) ||
             !qtest_get_mem_as(chr, attrs, &as)) {
             return;
         }

         result = qtest_write_sized(as, addr, attrs, value, words[0][5]);
         if (words[3] && result != MEMTX_OK) {
             qtest_send_memtx_error(chr, result);
             return;
         }
         qtest_send(chr, "OK\n");


Thanks,
