Subject: [PATCH] utils: Move tests/qemu/ boot-analysis etc tools to new utils
 top level directory.

Create a new top level directory called 'utils' and move the
following programs there:

  tests/qemu/boot-analysis -> utils/boot-analysis/
  tests/qemu/boot-benchmark -> utils/boot-benchmark/
  tests/qemu/qemu-boot -> utils/qemu-boot/
  tests/qemu/qemu-speed-test -> utils/qemu-speed-test/

Also we only build the boot-analysis program on x86-64 and aarch64,
since it requires custom porting to each architecture.

(cherry picked from commit 3b581a727c9e906f9d9b10e2f73ed853ab324fd0)

- *
- * This needs to be run on a quiet machine, so that other processes
- * disturb the timing as little as possible.  The program is
- * completely safe to run at any time.  It doesn't read or write any
- * external files, and it doesn't require root.
- *
- * You can run it from the build directory like this:
- *
- *   make
- *   make -C tests/qemu boot-analysis
- *   ./run tests/qemu/boot-analysis
- *
- * The way it works is roughly like this:
- *
- * We create a libguestfs handle and register callback handlers so we
- * can see appliance messages, trace events and so on.
- *
- * We then launch the handle and shut it down as quickly as possible.
- *
- * While the handle is running, events (seen by the callback handlers)
- * are written verbatim into an in-memory buffer, with timestamps.
- *
- * Afterwards we analyze the result using regular expressions to try
- * to identify a "timeline" for the handle (eg. at what time did the
- * BIOS hand control to the kernel).  This analysis is done in
- * 'boot-analysis-timeline.c'.
- *
- * The whole process is repeated across a few runs, and the final
- * timeline (including statistical analysis of the variation between
- * runs) gets printed.
- *
- * The program is very sensitive to the specific messages printed by
- * BIOS/kernel/supermin/userspace, so it won't work on non-x86, and it
- * will require periodic adjustment of the regular expressions in
- * order to keep things up to date.

-=head1 NAME
-
-boot-benchmark-range.pl - Benchmark libguestfs across a range of commits
-from another project
-
-=head1 SYNOPSIS
-
- LIBGUESTFS_BACKEND=direct \
- LIBGUESTFS_HV=/path/to/qemu/x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 \
-   ./run \
-   tests/qemu/boot-benchmark-range.pl /path/to/qemu HEAD~50..HEAD
-
-=head1
-
-Run F<tests/qemu/boot-benchmark> across a range of commits in another
-project.  This is useful for finding performance regressions in other
-programs such as qemu or the Linux kernel which might be affecting
-libguestfs.
-
-For example, suppose you suspect there has been a performance
-regression in qemu, somewhere between C<HEAD~50..HEAD>.  You could run
-the script like this:
-
- LIBGUESTFS_BACKEND=direct \
- LIBGUESTFS_HV=/path/to/qemu/x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 \
-   ./run \
-   tests/qemu/boot-benchmark-range.pl /path/to/qemu HEAD~50..HEAD
-
-where F</path/to/qemu> is the path to the qemu git repository.
-
-The output is a list of the qemu commits, annotated by the benchmark
-time and some other information about how the time compares to the
-previous commit.
-
-You should run these tests on an unloaded machine.  In particular
-running a desktop environment, web browser and so on can make the
-benchmarks useless.

+ *
+ * We then launch the handle and shut it down as quickly as possible.
+ *
+ * While the handle is running, events (seen by the callback handlers)
+ * are written verbatim into an in-memory buffer, with timestamps.
+ *
+ * Afterwards we analyze the result using regular expressions to try
+ * to identify a "timeline" for the handle (eg. at what time did the
+ * BIOS hand control to the kernel).  This analysis is done in
+ * 'boot-analysis-timeline.c'.
+ *
+ * The whole process is repeated across a few runs, and the final
+ * timeline (including statistical analysis of the variation between

+ *
+ * The program is very sensitive to the specific messages printed by

+=head1 NAME
+
+boot-benchmark-range.pl - Benchmark libguestfs across a range of commits
+from another project
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ LIBGUESTFS_BACKEND=direct \
+ LIBGUESTFS_HV=/path/to/qemu/x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 \
+   ./run \
+   utils/boot-benchmark/boot-benchmark-range.pl /path/to/qemu HEAD~50..HEAD
+
+=head1
+
+Run F<utils/boot-benchmark/boot-benchmark> across a range of commits
+in another project.  This is useful for finding performance
+regressions in other programs such as qemu or the Linux kernel which
+might be affecting libguestfs.
+
+For example, suppose you suspect there has been a performance
+regression in qemu, somewhere between C<HEAD~50..HEAD>.  You could run
+the script like this:
+
+ LIBGUESTFS_BACKEND=direct \
+ LIBGUESTFS_HV=/path/to/qemu/x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 \
+   ./run \
+   utils/boot-benchmark/boot-benchmark-range.pl /path/to/qemu HEAD~50..HEAD
+
+where F</path/to/qemu> is the path to the qemu git repository.
+
+The output is a list of the qemu commits, annotated by the benchmark
+time and some other information about how the time compares to the
+previous commit.
+
+You should run these tests on an unloaded machine.  In particular
+running a desktop environment, web browser and so on can make the
+benchmarks useless.
+
+=head1 OPTIONS
+
+=over 4
+
+=cut
+
+my $help;
+
+=item B<--help>
+
+Display brief help.
+

+
+Display full documentation (man page).
+
+=cut
+
+my $benchmark_command;
+
+=item B<--benchmark> C<boot-benchmark>
+
+Set the name of the benchmark to run.  You only need to use this if
+the script cannot find the right path to the libguestfs
+F<utils/boot-benchmark/boot-benchmark> program.  By default the script
+looks for this file in the same directory as its executable.
+
+=cut
+
+my $make_command = "make";
+
+=item B<--make> C<make>
+
+Set the command used to build the other project.  The default is
+to run C<make>.
+
+If the command fails, then the commit is skipped.
