Linaro GCC CI: Define and Integrate LAVA test cases for the Cross toolchain packages

Registered by Ricardo Salveti

Now that the cross linaro gcc packages are available at the Staging PPA, and built in a daily basis, define, create and integrate the test cases to properly validate the cross gcc packages into LAVA (or run it at the cloud as LAVA doesn't yet support x86).

Whiteboard

[rsalveti, Jan 30, 2012] Please review headline/acceptance and WIs.
[rsalveti, Jan 30, 2012] One way to run the test cases is creating a test job at ci.linaro.org, that will run the lava-test you created at the Cloud (x86) and then publish the results to LAVA's dashboard.
[rsalveti, Feb 22, 2012] Blueprint should be moved to 12.03.
[dzin, Feb 23, 2012] Moved to 12.03
[dzin, Apr 2, 2012] Partially done, moved to 12.04
[dzin, Apr 27, 2012] Blocked on LAVA lab, moved to 12.05
[rsalveti, May 3, 2012] Not blocked anymore, LAVA is fully back.
[hrw, May 16, 2012] cbuild from TWG is native only and depend on their build farm. I will extract all tests from it and cross build them on Jenkins for tests in LAVA.
[hrw May 21,2012] dropped gmpbench due to lack of libgpm-dev multiarch. Will add soon.
[hrw May 23,2012] http://validation.linaro.org/lava-server/scheduler/job/20360 submitted. Cbuild supports coremark, denbench, eembc, gmpbench, libavbench, povray, pybench, skiabench, spec2000, vorbisbench. There will be a session at Linaro Connect where we will discuss which of them to add. http://ex.seabright.co.nz/misc/cbuild/ has tarballs.
[Hrw May 25, 2012] http://validation.linaro.org/lava-server/scheduler/job/20464 was done and worked as expected.
20:52 < fabo> it will be done by Monday
[Hrw May 29, 2012] check LTP lava test parser

Meta:
