Commit 65b0b746b516 changed spice tests to use latest caps. Before this
change, "FLAG_REAL_CAPS" wasn't being set in testQemuInfoInitArgs(). The
absence of this flag triggered the code path inside
testCompareXMLToArgv() that executed testUpdateQEMUCaps(). This function
will update the host CPU via virQEMUCapsUpdateHostCPUModel() into
virQEMUCapsInitHostCPUModel(). In this function,
virQEMUCapsInitCPUModel() would end up updating the hostCPU inside the
qemuCaps (via virQEMUCapsProbeHostCPU()). Before the forementioned
commit, the host CPU was being defaulted to x86_64, vendor Intel, for
the 'graphics-spice-timeout' test that is using the 'pc' machine type
and 'accel=kvm'.
Today, "FLAG_REAL_CAPS" is being set because we're using the latest caps
from x86_64. This means that the whole code path mentioned above is
skipped. qemuCaps are now being loaded via virQEMUCapsLoadCache()
directly. Without the handling being done by testUpdateQEMUCaps(), the
host CPU is being retrieved later on, down below
qemuProcessCreatePretendCmdPrepare() into qemuProcessUpdateGuestCPU().
The latter will attempt to update the domain cpu and executing a
virCPUCompare with the hostCPU and def->cpu.
All this logic ended up causing a failure of the
'graphics-spice-timeout' test in ppc64 and s390x hosts. This test is
being run with KVM acceleration, and the KVM driver for ppc64 and s390x
will return a default x86_64 CPU with vendor "AMD", making
virCPUCompare() fail with the following message:
"QEMU XML-2-ARGV graphics-spice-timeout.x86_64-latest ... libvirt: CPU
Driver error : the CPU is incompatible with host CPU: host CPU vendor does
not match required CPU vendor Intel"
Fix this test by setting cpu check='none' and avoid the virCPUCompare()
that causes the problem for ppc64 and s390x hosts.

This patch itself is acceptable as is, but doesn't really fix the real
issue. If you don't plan on addressing the root cause, please:
I'll wait to see if that fixes the problem Boris was experiencing with
s390x. Meanwhile I'll dig further to see if I can detect the root cause
of the problem (e.g. can we default to an Intel CPU instead of AMD).
1) note in the commit message for this commit that it's not really
fixing the root cause, just the symptom
2) file an upstream issue with your analysis so that we don't forget
that this is still broken
If I fail to fix the root cause in a sensible time I'll end up pushing this
patch - with the adjustments you suggested - to not let the tests being
broken for too long.
I'll file the bug shortly.

broken for too long.
It is already broken since 11/4 for all none-x86 architectures and I
think it should be fixed ASAP even if it is a patch fixing the symptoms
only.
Btw why is the sanity check of the CI only run on x86?
I'll file the bug shortly.

I'll wait to see if that fixes the problem Boris was experiencing with
s390x. Meanwhile I'll dig further to see if I can detect the root cause
of the problem (e.g. can we default to an Intel CPU instead of AMD).
Switching the default from AMD to Intel would also not address the root
cause.
I think that the root cause for the failure when running the mocked
tests are intersects with architecture bound compiles. In this case it
is: https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt/-/blob/master/src/cpu/cpu_x86.c#L3514
The same is true for arm:
https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt/-/blob/master/src/cpu/cpu_arm.c#L713
Does anyone have a good idea how to mock this?

Switching the default from AMD to Intel would also not address the root
cause.
In addition the capability test data which is the base for the _LATEST
caps are always based on a real qemu run which is unfortunately CPU
specific. One potential fix would be to run it in a nested VM with an
emulated CPU but that would defeat the purpose in certain parts.
The X86 caps are generated mainly by me and I have an AMD box so for now
there's no intention to change that in any way.

The proposed patch works on s390x as well.

Thanks for checking. I'll hold this patch a little* to see if we can fix the
real cause of the bug, which can be something to do with how we are defaulting
x86_64 cpus for ppc64 and s390x.
* just a couple of days. No need to let the build being broken more than that.

I don't think that's necessary, the CPU checking is totally irrelevant
to the test you are fixing. If you manage to fix the root cause it can
definitely be done separately.

Boris also mentioned that this is broken since Nov 4th. I'll make the commit msg
adjustments you mentioned and push it.
