This series refactors the various scripts found in tests/cputestdata and
adds support for CORE_CAPABILITY MSR, as found on e.g. SnowRidge.
Acquiring test data on a new system is a two step process. "cpu-gather.sh"
gathers information on the target machine and has as few dependencies as
possible. "cpu-parse.sh" processes this information but requires access to
a libvirt source tree and has more dependencies, e.g. "xmltodict".
This series merges three of the four involved scripts (cpu-gather.sh,
cpu-parse.sh and cpu-reformat.py) into a single python3 script. python3
already was a dependency for cpu-gather.sh and care has been taken to not
depend on modules that are not installed by default [1]. Merging the fourth
script, cpu-cpuid.py, will come in a seperate series.
Patches 1 to 14 transform cpu-gather into a python script, preserving the
format of the output (except for consistent "\n" line endings; previously
the tool would output a mix of "\n" and "\r\n").
Patches 15 to 23 merge cpu-parse into the script. In this process, the
format of the intermediary data is changed to json.
Patches 24 to 29 add support for "all in one" operation and extracting
IA32_CORE_CAPABILITY_MSR, which can be found on e.g. SnowRidge CPUs.
Old usage:
./cpu-gather.sh | ./cpu-parse.sh
New:
./cpu-gather.py [--gather] | ./cpu-gather.py --parse
Alternative on single machine:
./cpu-gather.py --gather --parse
