The mtest2make.py script passes the arg '-t 0' to 'meson test' which
disables all test timeouts. This is a major source of pain when running
in GitLab CI and a test gets stuck. It will stall until GitLab kills the
CI job. This leaves us with little easily consumable information about
the stalled test. The TAP format doesn't show the test name until it is
completed, and TAP output from multiple tests it interleaved. So we
have to analyse the log to figure out what tests had un-finished TAP
output present and thus infer which test case caused the hang. This is
very time consuming and error prone.
By allowing meson to kill stalled tests, we get a direct display of what
test program got stuck, which lets us more directly focus in on what
specific test case within the test program hung.
The other issue with disabling meson test timeouts by default is that it
makes it more likely that maintainers inadvertantly introduce slowdowns.
For example the recent-ish change that accidentally made migrate-test
take 15-20 minutes instead of around 1 minute.
The main risk of this change is that the individual test timeouts might
be too short to allow completion in high load scenarios. Thus, there is
likely to be some short term pain where we have to bump the timeouts for
certain tests to make them reliable enough. The preceeding few patches
raised the timeouts for all failures that were immediately apparent
in GitLab CI.
Even with the possible short term instability, this should still be a
net win for debuggability of failed CI pipelines over the long term.

If there is a failing iotest, the output is currently not logged to
the console anymore. To get this working again, we need to run the
meson test runner with "--print-errorlogs" (and without "--verbose"
due to a current meson bug that will be fixed here:
https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/commit/c3f145ca2b9f5.patch ).
We could update the "meson test" call in tests/Makefile.include,
but actually it's nicer and easier if we simply do not treat the
iotests as separate test target anymore and integrate them along
with the other test suites. This has the disadvantage of not getting
the detailed progress indication there anymore, but since that was
only working right in single-threaded "make -j1" mode anyway, it's
not a huge loss right now.

"meson test" can be asked to run tests verbosely; this makes it usable
also for qemu-iotests's own harness, and it lets "make check-block"
reuse mtest2make.py's infrastructure to find and build test dependencies.
Adjust check-block.sh to use the standard exit code that reports a test
as skipped. Alternatively, in the future we could make it produce TAP
output, which is consistent with all other "make check" tests.

"meson test" starting with version 0.57 is just as capable and easy to
use as QEMU's own TAP driver. All existing options for "make check"
work. The only required code change involves how to mark "slow" tests;
they need to belong to an additional "slow" suite.
The rules for .tap output are replaced by JUnit XML; GitLab is able
to parse that output and present it in the CI pipeline report.

Meson 0.58.2 does not need b_staticpic=$pie anymore, and has
stabilized the keyval module. Remove the workaround and use a few
replacements for features deprecated in the 0.57.0 release cycle.
One feature that we would like to use is passing dependencies to
summary. However, that was broken in 0.59.0 and 0.59.1. Therefore,
use the embedded Meson if the host has anything older than 0.59.2,
but allow --meson= to use 0.58.2.

"make check SPEED=slow" got lost in the conversion of the build
system to meson - the tests were always running in "quick" mode.
Fix it by passing the "-m" parameter to the test harness at the

There are some places where the conditional makefile support is the
simplest solution. Now we don't expose CONFIG_TCG as a variable create
a new one that can be checked for the check-help output.

as well.

Now that the build is done entirely by Meson, there is no need
to keep the Makefile conversion. Instead, we can ask Ninja about
the targets it exposes and forward them.
The main advantages are, from smallest to largest:
- reducing the possible namespace pollution within the Makefile
- removal of a relatively large Python program
- faster build because parsing Makefile.ninja is slower than
parsing build.ninja; and faster build after Meson runs because
we do not have to generate Makefile.ninja.
- tracking of command lines, which provides more accurate rebuilds
In addition the change removes the requirement for GNU make 3.82, which
was annoying on Mac, and avoids bugs on Windows due to ninjatool not
knowing how to convert Windows escapes to POSIX escapes.

[Rewrite mtest2make part. - Paolo]

Whenever a test appears in multiple suites, the rules generated
by mtest2make are currently running it twice. Instead, after
this patch we generate a phony target for each test and we have
a generic "run-tests" target depend on all the tests that were
chosen on the command line. Tests that appear in multiple suites
will be added to the prerequisites just once.
This has other advantages: it removes the handling of -k and
it increases parallelism.

Rules to execute tests are generated by a simple Python program
that integrates into the existing "make check" mechanism. This
provides familiarity for developers, and also allows piecewise
conversion of the testsuite Makefiles to meson.
The generated rules are based on QEMU's existing test harness
Makefile and TAP parser.
