t/qemu-runlinux: Update
Continuing 76d8f76d (Script to run compiled linux kernel with root fs mounted from host) update the script to run/debug linux inside QEMU: - teach it to run specified program + args, instead of hardcoded /bin/sh; - before tailing to user program, builtin init mounts /proc, /sys, ... inside - previously it was /proc, /sys from host seen on those mountpoints and it was very misleading - e.g. ps was showing processes from host, not inside, etc. - builtin init also cares to run specified program with the same current directory that was current on host, and environments such as $HOME, $PATH, $TERM, ... are also propagated. - allow to optionally run QEMU with graphics, instead of stdout only; - increase available RAM from 128M to 512M (with 128M running py.test inside is failing with fork: not enough memory). This updated version was useful to debug WCFS(*) & FUSE issues by running kirr@deco:~/src/wendelin/wendelin.core/wcfs$ ../t/qemu-runlinux ~/src/linux/linux/arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage py.test -vsx -k test_wcfs See https://marc.info/?l=linux-fsdevel&m=155000277921155&w=2 for details. (*) WCFS is still being draft and worked on t branch.
