#
# Runs qboot (or builds and starts U-Boot) and measures how long it takes to
# start Linux. Must be run in the U-Boot source directory.
#
# See:
#   https://stefano-garzarella.github.io/posts/2019-08-24-qemu-linux-boot-time/
#   https://github.com/stefano-garzarella/qemu-boot-time.git
#
# You will need to first install tracing tools, e.g.:
#
# sudo apt install linux-tools-common linux-tools-generic linux-tools-`uname -r`
#
# and also change files and directories below
#
# Example usage to test qboot:

# $ ./contrib/qemu-boot-timer.sh
# qemu-system-x86_64: terminating on signal 15 from pid 3548708 (bash)
# 1) pid 3548829
#  qemu_init_end: 48.352996
#  fw_start: 48.480586 (+0.12759)
#  linux_start_boot: 66.16271 (+17.682124)
#  Exit point 0: 66.37544 (+0.21273)
#
# That shows a time of 17.7 milliseconds for qboot itself

# Enable this to boot qboot instead of U-Boot
#QBOOT=-QB

# Linux version to boot (read from /boot)
version=6.8.0-60-generic
