I also see the test passed sometimes. I run it in endless cycle and
leave for a while. 5-10 iterations are usually enough.

Qemu configure command:
./configure --target-list=aarch64-softmmu --enable-fdt --enable-vhost-net --enable-kvm

And run command:
/home/yury/work/qemu-2.10.0/aarch64-softmmu/qemu-system-aarch64 \
-machine virtualization=true -machine gic-version=3 \
-machine virt -cpu cortex-a57 -nographic -smp 4 -m 1024 \
-global virtio-blk-device.scsi=off -device virtio-scsi-device,id=scsi \
-drive file=img/ubuntu-core-14.04.1-core-arm64.img,id=coreimg,cache=unsafe,if=none -device scsi-hd,drive=coreimg \
-kernel /home/yury/work/linux/arch/arm64/boot/Image \
--append "console=ttyAMA0 root=/dev/sda" \
-initrd initrd.img-3.13.0-62-generic \
$NETWORK \
-redir tcp:2222::22 \
-s \
$@

My userspace is Ubuntu 14. I build lp64 tests with default Ubuntu
toolchain, and ilp32 tests with Linaro cross-toolchain.

The config is attached, and the branch is vanilla 4.13 kernel, or this
one:
https://github.com/norov/linux/tree/ilp32-4.13

Later today I will share the whole qemu environment I use.
