Subject: [PATCH v2 25/28] KVM: arm64: selftests: Only test AF behavior for emulated AT insns
Date: Fri, 23 Oct 2026 13:56:07 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261023205610.1044532-26-oupton@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261023205610.1044532-1-oupton@kernel.org>
The original intent of the test was to test KVM's slowpath AT emulation,
specifically including a test for KVM's IMP DEF choice that AT
instructions set the access flag.
While it is possible to force AT instructions to take the slow path in
KVM, this is only effective for an out-of-context regime wherein the
stage-2 translations are guaranteed to be invalid. As such, the
inclusion of AT S1E2* instructions muddied this a bit, as they operate
on the in-context EL2&0 regime.
Restore the original intent of the test and get rid of the AT S1E2* test
cases entirely.
