Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] KVM: selftests: Add a helper to read a vCPU's APIC ID
Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2026 17:29:14 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260826115915.2882221-2-hemanth.selam@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260826115915.2882221-1-hemanth.selam@gmail.com>

Reading a vCPU's APIC ID from the host means open coding KVM_GET_LAPIC and
picking the field out of the register block, which several tests already
do.  Add a helper next to the other APIC definitions so that a test that
needs to target a vCPU, e.g. to send it an IPI, can just ask for its ID.
