<title>KVM: selftests: Use u64 instead of uint64_t</title>

<id>urn:sha1:26f8453288d4c1fb8c96802eae15ddc988f5e068</id>
<content type='text'>
Use u64 instead of uint64_t to make the KVM selftests code more concise
and more similar to the kernel (since selftests are primarily developed
by kernel developers).

This commit was generated with the following command:

  git ls-files tools/testing/selftests/kvm | xargs sed -i 's/uint64_t/u64/g'

Then by manually adjusting whitespace to make checkpatch.pl happy.

Include &lt;linux/types.h&gt; in include/kvm_util_types.h, iinclude/test_util.h,
and include/x86/pmu.h to pick up the tools-defined u64.  Arguably, all
headers (especially kvm_util_types.h) should have already been including
stdint.h to get uint64_t from the libc headers, but the missing dependency
only rears its head once KVM uses u64 instead of uint64_t.

No functional change intended.

Annotate guest printf helpers with __printf() so that the compiler will
warn about incorrect formatting at compile time (see git log for how easy
it is to screw up with the formatting).

Use GUEST_FAIL() in ARM's arch timer helpers now that printf-based
guest asserts are the default (and only) style of guest asserts, and
say goodbye to the GUEST_ASSERT_1() alias.

<content type='text'>
Drop the param-based guest assert macros and enable the printf versions
for all selftests.  Note!  This change can affect tests even if they
don't use directly use guest asserts!  E.g. via library code, or due to
the compiler making different optimization decisions.

<title>KVM: selftests: Add arch ucall.h and inline simple arch hooks</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b35f4c73d389d3b04e5edf3d1fd041ed3070228b</id>
<content type='text'>
Add an architecture specific ucall.h and inline the simple arch hooks,
e.g. the init hook for everything except ARM, and the actual "do ucall"
hook for everything except x86 (which should be simple, but temporarily
isn't due to carrying a workaround).

Having a per-arch ucall header will allow adding a #define for the
expected KVM exit reason for a ucall that is colocated (for everything
except x86) with the ucall itself.

<id>urn:sha1:289c2b4db8f336b96d918eb0c548382aee71ed79</id>
<content type='text'>
Add printf-based GUEST_ASSERT macros and accompanying host-side support to
provide an assert-specific versions of GUEST_PRINTF().  To make it easier
to parse assert messages, for humans and bots alike, preserve/use the same
layout as host asserts, e.g. in the example below, the reported expression,
file, line number, and message are from the guest assertion, not the host
reporting of the assertion.

The call stack still captures the host reporting, but capturing the guest
stack is a less pressing concern, i.e. can be done in the future, and an
optimal solution would capture *both* the host and guest stacks, i.e.
capturing the host stack isn't an outright bug.

  Running soft int test

    Expected IRQ at RIP 0x401e50, received IRQ at 0x401e50

Don't bother sharing code between ucall_assert() and ucall_fmt(), as
forwarding the variable arguments would either require using macros or
building a va_list, i.e. would make the code less readable and/or require
just as much copy+paste code anyways.

Gate the new macros with a flag so that tests can more or less be switched
over one-by-one.  The slow conversion won't be perfect, e.g. library code
won't pick up the flag, but the only asserts in library code are of the
vanilla GUEST_ASSERT() variety, i.e. don't print out variables.

Add a temporary alias to GUEST_ASSERT_1() to fudge around ARM's
arch_timer.h header using GUEST_ASSERT_1(), thus thwarting any attempt to
convert tests one-by-one.
