KVM: selftests: Change VM_MODE_PXXV48_4K to VM_MODE_PXXVYY_4K

2025-11-21T00:19:59+00:00

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: Add an MSR test to exercise guest/host and read/write

2025-09-23T16:51:56+00:00

Add a selftest to verify reads and writes to various MSRs, from both the guest and host, and expect success/failure based on whether or not the vCPU supports the MSR according to supported CPUID. Note, this test is extremely similar to KVM-Unit-Test's "msr" test, but provides more coverage with respect to host accesses, and will be extended to provide addition testing of CPUID-based features, save/restore lists, and KVM_{G,S}ET_ONE_REG, all which are extremely difficult to validate in KUT. If kvm.ignore_msrs=true, skip the unsupported and reserved testcases as KVM's ABI is a mess; what exactly is supposed to be ignored, and when, varies wildly.

KVM: selftests: Add ex_str() to print human friendly name of exception vectors

2025-09-23T15:39:02+00:00

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

2025-09-23T15:38:59+00:00

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.

KVM: selftests: Validate more arch-events in pmu_counters_test

KVM: selftests: Add support for #DE exception fixup

2025-09-11T15:55:44+00:00

Add support for handling #DE (divide error) exceptions in KVM selftests so that the fastops test can verify KVM correctly handles #DE when emulating DIV or IDIV on behalf of the guest. Morph #DE to 0xff (i.e. to -1) as a mostly-arbitrary vector to indicate #DE, so that '0' (the real #DE vector) can still be used to indicate "no exception".

KVM: selftests: Verify KVM is loaded when getting a KVM module param

2025-06-20T20:39:10+00:00

Probe /dev/kvm when getting a KVM module param so that attempting to load a module param super early in a selftest generates a SKIP message about KVM not being loaded/enabled, versus some random parameter not existing. E.g. KVM x86's unconditional retrieval of force_emulation_prefix during kvm_selftest_arch_init() generates a rather confusing error message that takes far too much triage to understand.
