Subject: [PATCH v5 04/26] KVM: selftests: Add a test for LBR save/restore (ft. nested)
Date: Fri, 6 Feb 2026 19:08:29 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260206190851.860662-5-yosry.ahmed@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260206190851.860662-1-yosry.ahmed@linux.dev>
Add a selftest exercising save/restore with usage of LBRs in both L1 and
L2, and making sure all LBRs remain intact.
