This is a simple tool that spawns qemu machines to test a specific binary on these machines. This is particularly useful for testing eBPF programs against different kernel versions. Under the hood it uses virtme-ng tool to create qemu instancies. Given this configuration file:
vng_path: "vng" # absolute path or should be in PATH
bin_command: "/usr/bin/echo 'hey'" # command to run in the qemu machines
parallel: 1 # number of parallel qemu machines to spawn
out_path: "" # if provided, the report will be saved in this file
kernel_versions:
- v5.4.293
- v5.10.237
- v5.15.182bpfvalidator will:
- create 3 qemu machines with the kernel versions specified in the configuration file
- run the command
/usr/bin/truein each of them - wait for the command to finish
- collect the output of the command
- generate a report telling if the command passed or failed
bpfvalidator --config config.yamlReport:
- v5.4.293 🟢
- v5.10.237 🟢
- v5.15.182 🟢it is possible to obtain also a verbose version of the report using --log debug flag:
bpfvalidator --config config.yaml --log debugReport:
- v5.4.293 🟢
message: hey
- v5.10.237 🟢
message: hey
- v5.15.182 🟢
message: hey- 🟢: the command passed
- 🔴: the command failed
- 🟡: the provided machine doesn't exist
Example
- v7.9.0 🟡 #the provided machine doesn't exists
- v5.10.237 🟢 # success
- v5.15.182 🔴 # failurego build .
