Use `command -v` in preference to `which`
In Debian, which(1) is provided by the Essential debianutils package,
which recently deprecated it. Silence the resulting warnings by doing
this in a slightly less obvious way.

virt-qemu: Make sure prompts correspond to commands
Because we don't always expect() every shell prompt on the serial
console, it's possible that we send a command, wait for what we think
is the command finishing, but stop waiting too soon because we
actually saw the shell prompt corresponding to a *previous* command.
To avoid this, set a distinctive prompt: a UUID for recognition,
followed by a sequence number so we can match up commands to prompts,
followed by the usual "# ".

qemu: Use -machine q35 on i386, amd64 with EFI
Empirically, it seems to be the minimum required for EFI-booting on
i386. With the default -machine pc, some firmware error occurs.
Oddly, pc seems to be sufficient for amd64 EFI, but it would be somewhat
inconsistent to bump the machine only for one of these architectures.
According to -machine '?', q35 is a "Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009)".

qemu: Set a default CPU for qemu-system-aarch64
qemu-system-aarch64's default CPU is not compatible with -enable-kvm,
and doesn't seem to boot at all when emulating aarch64 on x86_64.
When running natively with -enable-kvm, we can use host or max
(presumably synonyms). Let's use host, which is more self-explanatory.
When running under emulation, -cpu max is unusably slow (at least on
x86_64). [1] mentions cortex-a53 as something that works, and that
does seem to emulate at an acceptable speed on my laptop - good enough!

virt-qemu: Create serial devices for /dev/hvc0, /dev/hvc1
Instead of assuming all virtual machines have two PS/2-style serial
ports, try to use the hypervisor virtual console interface on /dev/hvc1
for our root shell, falling back to ttyS1 if that wasn't set up. As
before, reserve /dev/hvc0 for a Linux console and login prompt.
One oddity here is that in the default configuration of
qemu-system-ppc64le, the serial port is itself considered to be a
hypervisor virtual console and shows up as /dev/hvc0 inside the VM,
so we only need to create one virtio-serial device to get /dev/hvc1.
Based on a patch from Ryutaroh Matsumoto.

setup-testbed: Put Linux console on all the usual console ports
Linux console logging can be directed to any number of devices, so
let's send it to all of:
* the first emulated hardware serial port, ttyS0 (x86) or ttyAMA0 (ARM)
* the first hypervisor virtual console, hvc0 (qemu, Xen, PowerPC)
* whichever graphical virtual terminal is in the foreground, tty0
(this is unnecessary for autopkgtest itself, but is convenient if
you want to boot an autopkgtest VM image interactively)
systemd should automatically start an interactive getty on each of these
via systemd-getty-generator(8).
sysvinit will not do that without further configuration, but that isn't
a regression: it already needed special configuration to put a serial
getty on ttyS0.

This is a workaround for it not being built-in (#689962). If

setup-testbed: Put root shells on both ttyS1 and hvc1 if they exist
ttyS1 is PC-specific (it's the second serial port of qemu's emulation
of the IBM PS/2's 16550 UART), whereas hvc1 is more hardware-agnostic
(it's the second virtio serial console). There's no reason why we
need to choose one or the other - we can have both.
In particular, Ryutaroh Matsumoto reports that the ARM and ppc64el
machines emulated by qemu only have one serial port available via the
-serial option (ttyAMA0 or hvc0 respectively), so we cannot rely on the
second serial port.
I'm not using hvc0 (the first virtio serial console) for this special
purpose, because it's a sensible place to put a Linux console and an
ordinary getty on any architecture, and in particular the serial port
of the default machine emulated by qemu-system-ppc64le (used for boot
messages and the Linux console) shows up as /dev/hvc0 inside the VM.
Accordingly, reserve hvc0 for either the Linux console or a placeholder,
and start from hvc1 for these autopkgtest-specific shells.
Under systemd, we do this with an instanced unit that automatically
disables itself via a Condition if the referenced device doesn't exist.
similar to the previous autopkgtest.service that hard-coded ttyS1.
Under sysvinit, we just start them all in a loop (untested, I'm not
running sysvinit on any test VMs in practice).

qemu: Make the qemu architecture a first-class option
Instead of guessing what qemu implementation we are using from the
qemu command, make the dpkg and qemu architectures first-class options.
If the qemu architecture is explictly given, it is used; otherwise it
is derived from the dpkg architecture if given, or derived from
`dpkg --print-architecture` on the host, or guessed from the qemu
command for backwards compatibility, or guessed from uname -m on the
host.
If the qemu command is explicitly given, it is used; otherwise it is

qemu: Make sure we can upgrade grub-pc, if installed
vmdb2 installs grub to the boot sector, but it doesn't know what the
device name will look like in the final system, so it can't preseed
the debconf question.
If the same image is booted under different qemu configurations, the
same disk image might end up as either /dev/vda or /dev/sda, so we
set this up from first principles every time.

virt-qemu: Don't rely on exiting from a shell printing "logout"
For some reason the root shell on /dev/hvc0 of a qemu-system-ppc64le
virtual machine doesn't do this.

autopkgtest-build-qemu: Generalize --efi into --boot=
This will let us add --boot=ieee1275. While I'm here, add --boot=none
for porting new architectures: in this case developers will have to set
up the bootloader via --script, or directly boot a suitable kernel with
autopkgtest-virt-qemu --qemu-options='-kernel ...'.

build-qemu: Add --efi option to create UEFI-bootable image
This is required for making armhf and arm64 testbeds. The built images
should also be secure-bootable on amd64 and i386 VMs.
This requires vmdb2 0.22-1~ or newer, and UEFI boot of i386 VMs needs
the ovmf-ia32 package.

qemu: Explicitly assign unit numbers for pflash devices
This follows the example
at <https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/master/OvmfPkg/README>.
OVMF_CODE seems required to be unit 0, but the unit number is implicitly
determined by the order of options to qemu, which seems fragile.

Use AAVMF32 for qemu-system-aarch64 if aarch64 is disabled
Running Debian armhf/armel VM on Debian arm64 can be accelerated
by KVM. To use KVM acceleration, one has to use qemu-system-aarch64
-machine virt -cpu host,aarch64=off, which misleads autopkgtest-virt-qemu
to select AAVMF_CODE.fd. 32-bit ARM CPUs cannot execute AAVMF_CODE.fd
which is 64-bit code, so select the correct AAVMF32_CODE.fd.

lxd: Add a hook_prepare_reboot and pass arguments from it to wait_reboot

lxd: Add a hook_prepare_reboot and pass arguments from it to wait_reboot
We've got a race condition currently. When rebooting the testbed, the
flow is like this:
hook_prepare_reboot
reboot
hook_wait_reboot
The idea is that hook_wait_reboot waits for the testbed to come back up,
so we can go on with the tests. For lxd, this means fetch the uptime,
and wait for it to go backwards, indicating the the reboot happened.
We fetch the 'initial' uptime in hook_wait_reboot, though. As this is
after we actually ask the testbed to reboot itself, there's a race
condition. If we managed to go down before we get into hook_wait_reboot,
we will not be able to get the initial uptime.
Instead, add a prepare_reboot hook to autopkgtest-virt-lxd, which
fetches the initial uptime. Then it needs to be able to return a value
back to the caller, so that wait_reboot can know what it needs to
compare to. That needs a bit of adjustment to hook_wait_reboot's
interface, to allow it to accept arguments. We make this generic, so
it's optional across backends.

qemu-system-i386 cannot run OVMF_CODE.fd, and 32-bit OVMF has Debian archive. Correct 32-bit OVMF should be used by autopkgtest-virt-qemu.
