KVM: selftests: Make sure vm->vpages_mapped is always up-to-date

2025-11-21T18:17:05Z

Call paths leading to __virt_pg_map() are currently: (a) virt_pg_map() -> virt_arch_pg_map() -> __virt_pg_map() (b) virt_map_level() -> __virt_pg_map() For (a), calls to virt_pg_map() from kvm_util.c make sure they update vm->vpages_mapped, but other callers do not. Move the sparsebit_set() call into virt_pg_map() to make sure all callers are captured. For (b), call sparsebit_set_num() from virt_map_level(). It's tempting to have a single the call inside __virt_pg_map(), however: - The call path in (a) is not x86-specific, while (b) is. Moving the call into __virt_pg_map() would require doing something similar for other archs implementing virt_pg_map(). - Future changes will reusue __virt_pg_map() for nested PTEs, which should not update vm->vpages_mapped, i.e. a triple underscore version that does not update vm->vpages_mapped would need to be provided.

KVM: selftests: Change VM_MODE_PXXV48_4K to VM_MODE_PXXVYY_4K

2025-11-21T00:19:59Z

Use 57-bit addresses with 5-level paging on hardware that supports LA57. Continue to use 48-bit addresses with 4-level paging on hardware that doesn't support LA57.

KVM: selftests: Use a loop to walk guest page tables

2025-11-21T00:19:59Z

Walk the guest page tables via a loop when searching for a PTE, instead of using unique variables for each level of the page tables. This simplifies the code and makes it easier to support 5-level paging in the future.

KVM: selftests: Fix irqfd_test for non-x86 architectures

2025-10-13T13:17:03Z

The KVM_IRQFD ioctl fails if no irqchip is present in-kernel, which isn't too surprising as there's not much KVM can do for an IRQ if it cannot resolve a destination. As written the irqfd_test assumes that a 'default' VM created in selftests has an in-kernel irqchip created implicitly. That may be the case on x86 but it isn't necessarily true on other architectures. Add an arch predicate indicating if 'default' VMs get an irqchip and make the irqfd_test depend on it. Work around arm64 VGIC initialization requirements by using vm_create_with_one_vcpu(), ignoring the created vCPU as it isn't used for the test.

Merge tag 'kvm-x86-selftests-6.18' of https://github.com/kvm-x86/linux into HEAD

2025-09-30T17:23:54Z

KVM selftests changes for 6.18 - Add #DE coverage in the fastops test (the only exception that's guest- triggerable in fastop-emulated instructions). - Fix PMU selftests errors encountered on Granite Rapids (GNR), Sierra Forest (SRF) and Clearwater Forest (CWF). - Minor cleanups and improvements

KVM: arm64: selftests: Create a VGICv3 for 'default' VMs

2025-09-24T18:23:32Z

Start creating a VGICv3 by default unless explicitly opted-out by the test. While having an interrupt controller is nice, the real benefit here is clearing a hurdle for EL2 VMs which mandate the presence of a VGIC. Signed-off-by: Oliver Upton Signed-off-by: Marc Zyngier

Steal exception_mnemonic() from KVM-Unit-Tests as ex_str() (to keep line lengths reasonable) and use it in assert messages that currently print the raw vector number.

KVM: selftests: Handle Intel Atom errata that leads to PMU event overcount

2025-09-23T15:38:59Z

Add a PMU errata framework and use it to relax precise event counts on Atom platforms that overcount "Instruction Retired" and "Branch Instruction Retired" events, as the overcount issues on VM-Exit/VM-Entry are impossible to prevent from userspace, e.g. the test can't prevent host IRQs. Setup errata during early initialization and automatically sync the mask to VMs so that tests can check for errata without having to manually manage host=>guest variables. For Intel Atom CPUs, the PMU events "Instruction Retired" or "Branch Instruction Retired" may be overcounted for some certain instructions, like FAR CALL/JMP, RETF, IRET, VMENTRY/VMEXIT/VMPTRLD and complex SGX/SMX/CSTATE instructions/flows. The detailed information can be found in the errata (section SRF7): https://edc.intel.com/content/www/us/en/design/products-and-solutions/processors-and-chipsets/sierra-forest/xeon-6700-series-processor-with-e-cores-specification-update/errata-details/ For the Atom platforms before Sierra Forest (including Sierra Forest), Both 2 events "Instruction Retired" and "Branch Instruction Retired" would be overcounted on these certain instructions, but for Clearwater Forest only "Instruction Retired" event is overcounted on these instructions.
