KVM: selftests: Fix reserved value WRMSR testcase for multi-feature MSRs

2026-05-07T04:11:39+00:00

commit 9396cc1e282a280bcba2e932e03994e0aada4cd8 upstream. When determining whether or not a WRMSR with reserved bits will #GP or succeed due to the WRMSR not existing per the guest virtual CPU model, expect failure if and only if _all_ features associated with the MSR are unsupported. Checking only the primary feature results in false failures when running on AMD and Hygon CPUs with only one of RDPID or RDTSCP, as AMD/Hygon CPUs ignore MSR_TSC_AUX[63:32], i.e. don't treat the bits as reserved, and so #GP only if the MSR is unsupported.

KVM: selftests: Remove duplicate LAUNCH_UPDATE_VMSA call in SEV-ES migrate test

2026-04-22T11:22:30+00:00

commit 25a642b6abc98bbbabbf2baef9fc498bbea6aee6 upstream. Drop the explicit KVM_SEV_LAUNCH_UPDATE_VMSA call when creating an SEV-ES VM in the SEV migration test, as sev_vm_create() automatically updates the VMSA pages for SEV-ES guests. The only reason the duplicate call doesn't cause visible problems is because the test doesn't actually try to run the vCPUs. That will change when KVM adds a check to prevent userspace from re-launching a VMSA (which corrupts the VMSA page due to KVM writing encrypted private memory).

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

2026-02-11T12:41:44+00:00

commit e396a74222654486d6ab45dca5d0c54c408b8b91 upstream. 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.

selftests: kvm: try getting XFD and XSAVE state out of sync

commit 0383a8edef396cf0a6884b0be81d62bde60737b0 upstream. The host is allowed to set FPU state that includes a disabled xstate component. Check that this does not cause bad effects. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

selftests: kvm: replace numbered sync points with actions

2026-01-23T10:21:23+00:00

commit a1025dcd377ef92d9a09af03b70ce80be281ee22 upstream. Rework the guest=>host syncs in the AMX test to use named actions instead of arbitrary, incrementing numbers. The "stage" of the test has no real meaning, what matters is what action the test wants the host to perform. The incrementing numbers are somewhat helpful for triaging failures, but fully debugging failures almost always requires a much deeper dive into the test (and KVM). Using named actions not only makes it easier to extend the test without having to shift all sync point numbers, it makes the code easier to read.

KVM: selftests: Add missing "break" in rseq_test's param parsing

2026-01-02T11:57:22+00:00

commit 1b9439c933b500cb24710bbd81fe56e9b0025b6f upstream. In commit 0297cdc12a87 ("KVM: selftests: Add option to rseq test to override /dev/cpu_dma_latency"), a 'break' is missed before the option 'l' in the argument parsing loop, which leads to an unexpected core dump in atoi_paranoid(). It tries to get the latency from non-existent argument. host$ ./rseq_test -u Random seed: 0x6b8b4567 Segmentation fault (core dumped) Add a 'break' before the option 'l' in the argument parsing loop to avoid the unexpected core dump.

KVM: arm64: selftests: Filter ZCR_EL2 in get-reg-list

get-reg-list includes ZCR_EL2 in the list of EL2 registers that it looks for when NV is enabled but does not have any feature gate for this register, meaning that testing any combination of features that includes EL2 but does not include SVE will result in a test failure due to a missing register being reported: | The following lines are missing registers: | | ARM64_SYS_REG(3, 4, 1, 2, 0), Add ZCR_EL2 to feat_id_regs so that the test knows not to expect to see it without SVE being enabled.
