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

KVM: selftests: Use canonical $(ARCH) paths for KVM selftests directories

2024-12-18T22:15:04Z

Use the kernel's canonical $(ARCH) paths instead of the raw target triple for KVM selftests directories. KVM selftests are quite nearly the only place in the entire kernel that using the target triple for directories, tools/testing/selftests/drivers/s390x being the lone holdout. Using the kernel's preferred nomenclature eliminates the minor, but annoying, friction of having to translate to KVM's selftests directories, e.g. for pattern matching, opening files, running selftests, etc. Opportunsitically delete file comments that reference the full path of the file, as they are obviously prone to becoming stale, and serve no known purpose.

Merge tag 'kvm-x86-selftests_utils-6.10' of https://github.com/kvm-x86/linux into HEAD

2024-05-12T07:18:11Z

KVM selftests treewide updates for 6.10: - Define _GNU_SOURCE for all selftests to fix a warning that was introduced by a change to kselftest_harness.h late in the 6.9 cycle, and because forcing every test to #define _GNU_SOURCE is painful. - Provide a global psuedo-RNG instance for all tests, so that library code can generate random, but determinstic numbers. - Use the global pRNG to randomly force emulation of select writes from guest code on x86, e.g. to help validate KVM's emulation of locked accesses. - Rename kvm_util_base.h back to kvm_util.h, as the weird layer of indirection was added purely to avoid manually #including ucall_common.h in a handful of locations. - Allocate and initialize x86's GDT, IDT, TSS, segments, and default exception handlers at VM creation, instead of forcing tests to manually trigger the related setup.

Revert "kvm: selftests: move base kvm_util.h declarations to kvm_util_base.h"

2024-04-29T19:54:13Z

Effectively revert the movement of code from kvm_util.h => kvm_util_base.h, as the TL;DR of the justification for the move was to avoid #idefs and/or circular dependencies between what ended up being ucall_common.h and what was (and now again, is), kvm_util.h. But avoiding #ifdef and circular includes is trivial: don't do that. The cost of removing kvm_util_base.h is a few extra includes of ucall_common.h, but that cost is practically nothing. On the other hand, having a "base" version of a header that is really just the header itself is confusing, and makes it weird/hard to choose names for headers that actually are "base" headers, e.g. to hold core KVM selftests typedefs. For all intents and purposes, this reverts commit 7d9a662ed9f0403e7b94940dceb81552b8edb931.

KVM: selftests: Provide a global pseudo-RNG instance for all tests

2024-04-29T19:50:41Z

Add a global guest_random_state instance, i.e. a pseudo-RNG, so that an RNG is available for *all* tests. This will allow randomizing behavior in core library code, e.g. x86 will utilize the pRNG to conditionally force emulation of writes from within common guest code. To allow for deterministic runs, and to be compatible with existing tests, allow tests to override the seed used to initialize the pRNG. Note, the seed *must* be overwritten before a VM is created in order for the seed to take effect, though it's perfectly fine for a test to initialize multiple VMs with different seeds. And as evidenced by memstress_guest_code(), it's also a-ok to instantiate more RNGs using the global seed (or a modified version of it). The goal of the global RNG is purely to ensure that _a_ source of random numbers is available, it doesn't have to be the _only_ RNG.

KVM: selftests: Standardise layout of GIC frames

2024-04-25T12:19:56Z

It would appear that all of the selftests are using the same exact layout for the GIC frames. Fold this back into the library implementation to avoid defining magic values all over the selftests. This is an extension of Colton's change, ripping out parameterization of from the library internals in addition to the public interfaces.
