Commit Message

When dumping table blobs using rebuild-expected-aml.sh, table blobs from all
test variants are dumped regardless of whether there are any actual changes to
the tables or not. This creates lot of new files for various test variants that
are not part of the git repository. This is because we do not check in all table
blobs for all test variants into the repository. Only those blobs for those
variants that are different from the generic test-variant agnostic blob are
checked in.

This change makes the test smarter by checking if at all there are any changes
in the tables from the checked-in gold master blobs. If there are no changes,
no new files are written for test variants. However, existing files continue
to be overwritten regardless of whether there are changes. Hence, new files
will be generated only when there are actual changes in the tables.
This would make analyzing changes to tables less confusing and there would
be no need to clean useless untracked files when there are no table changes.

You lost me in those 3 sentences. Perhaps rephrasing and adding examples
wold make it readable. (aka what's (not)writen and when)

what happens if an absolutely new table has been introduced which
is not mentioned in tests yet (will it be dumped or not)?

OK I will try in v2.

When a new table is introduced, there is no existing data to compare the tables with. In this case, it will result in assertion in the following line:

>     g_assert(exp_sdt.aml_file);

I am not sure what to do in this case except to unconditionally dump all tables. Maybe introduce another flag? Not sure.

Oh wait, this patch works as is since we have said in bios-tables-test.c:

>  add empty files for new tables, if any, under tests/data/acpi  

So for new tables the lengths will not match and the table should be dumped. I need to test this case once.
