KVM: selftests: Add -U_FORTIFY_SOURCE to avoid some unpredictable test failures

2026-01-23T16:38:31Z

Some distributions (such as Ubuntu) configure GCC so that _FORTIFY_SOURCE is automatically enabled at -O1 or above. This results in some fortified version of definitions of standard library functions are included. While linker resolves the symbols, the fortified versions might override the definitions in lib/string_override.c and reference to those PLT entries in GLIBC. This is not a problem for the code in host, but it is a disaster for the guest code. E.g., if build and run x86/nested_emulation_test on Ubuntu 24.04 will encounter a L1 #PF due to memset() reference to __memset_chk@plt. The option -fno-builtin-memset is not helpful here, because those fortified versions are not built-in but some definitions which are included by header, they are for different intentions. In order to eliminate the unpredictable behaviors may vary depending on the linker and platform, add the "-U_FORTIFY_SOURCE" into CFLAGS to prevent from introducing the fortified definitions.

KVM/arm64 updates for 6.19 - Support for userspace handling of synchronous external aborts (SEAs), allowing the VMM to potentially handle the abort in a non-fatal manner. - Large rework of the VGIC's list register handling with the goal of supporting more active/pending IRQs than available list registers in hardware. In addition, the VGIC now supports EOImode==1 style deactivations for IRQs which may occur on a separate vCPU than the one that acked the IRQ. - Support for FEAT_XNX (user / privileged execute permissions) and FEAT_HAF (hardware update to the Access Flag) in the software page table walkers and shadow MMU. - Allow page table destruction to reschedule, fixing long need_resched latencies observed when destroying a large VM. - Minor fixes to KVM and selftests

KVM: s390: Add capability that forwards operation exceptions

2025-11-21T09:26:03Z

Setting KVM_CAP_S390_USER_OPEREXEC will forward all operation exceptions to user space. This also includes the 0x0000 instructions managed by KVM_CAP_S390_USER_INSTR0. It's helpful if user space wants to emulate instructions which do not (yet) have an opcode. While we're at it refine the documentation for KVM_CAP_S390_USER_INSTR0.

Add a selftest that verifies KVM's ability to save and restore nested state when the L1 guest is using 5-level paging and the L2 guest is using 4-level paging. Specifically, canonicality tests of the VMCS12 host-state fields should accept 57-bit virtual addresses.
