Subject: [PATCH v3 06/13] KVM: selftests: Assert success in vmptrst(), kill off vmptrstz()
Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2026 16:39:12 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260826233919.998904-7-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260826233919.998904-1-seanjc@google.com>

Assert success in vmptrst() instead of punting to the caller, as literally
every user expects VMPTRST to succeed (and because '0' is a valid physical
address).
