Subject: [PATCH v2] KVM: arm64: selftests: Skip unwritable ID fields in the failed-run test
Date: Sun, 25 Oct 2026 21:21:28 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261026012128.2270251-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
test_idreg_frozen_after_failed_run() checks that changing a feature ID
register after a failed first KVM_RUN is rejected with -EBUSY, and does
so for every field of every register in test_regs.
On a host without AArch32 support at EL0, KVM treats the AArch32 ID
registers as RAZ/WI: aa32_id_visibility() returns REG_RAZ | REG_USER_WI,
and kvm_sys_reg_set_user() ignores the write and returns 0 before
set_id_reg() checks whether the ID registers are final. The test then
fails on the first such register:
arm64/set_id_regs.c:870: r < 0 && errno == EBUSY
ID_DFR0_EL1_PerfMon write after failed first run: r=0 errno=16
KernelCI hits this on every run on an AArch64 only GB300 host.
Only a field that userspace can change can be frozen, and KVM reports
these registers as not writable in KVM_ARM_GET_REG_WRITABLE_MASKS. Skip
the fields that the writable mask does not cover. test_vm_ftr_id_regs()
already requires the mask to cover every other field in test_regs, so
this only drops the fields KVM never lets userspace change. Whether KVM
accepts writes to fields it reports as not writable is a separate
question from finalization.
Fixes: 00e309933879 ("KVM: arm64: selftests: Check ID regs are immutable after a failed run")

Changes in v2:
- Skip every field that KVM_ARM_GET_REG_WRITABLE_MASKS does not report as
writable, instead of special casing the AArch32 ID registers (Mark Brown).
