Subject: [PATCH v3 RESEND 00/10] KVM: selftests: add powerpc support
Date: Wed, 10 Jun 2026 18:17:16 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1781093720.git.ritesh.list@gmail.com> (raw)
RFCv3 -> PATCH v3:
==================
- resend and dropped RFC tag.
Hi All,
This series primarly adds KVM selftests support for powerpc (64-bit, BookS,
radix MMU).
This patch series is originally Nick's work. I have mainly only rebased it on
the latest upstream tree. Since the rebase required few changes to all the four
patches (Patch 1-4), I have dropped the earlier Acked-by from Michael Ellerman.
Since the last series was posted three years ago [1], I am resetting the version
to RFC. This rebase was done as part of a larger effort to improve the selftests
infrastructure for Linux on PowerPC tree. Thanks to Harsh and Maddy for their
help on this.
Testing Updates:
================
1. Tested this on PowerNV P9 with Radix mode. (all selftests passes)
2. Tested this on LPAR (KVM on PowerVM) case. (all selftests except-1 passes).
The failed testcase (kvm_create_max_vcpus) is because H_GUEST_CREATE_VCPU
(PAPR HCALL) only supports vcpu_ids 0-2047 i.e. max 2048 vcpus.
However, kernel always returns NR_CPUS for the KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPUS extension.
So if the LPAR kernel is built using NR_CPUS=8192, then kvm_create_max_vcpus
can fail in __vm_vcpu_add(). This failure needs to be handled separately,
mostly as fix in kernel.
3. Tested these selftests changes inside x86 kvm guest - no new failures seen.
RFCv2 -> RFC v3:
===============
1. Relaxed strict pte permission checking in patch-3 (Sashiko)
2. Fixed errno from getting clobbered in patch-5 (Sashiko)
3. Added PATCH 6-9 to handle the type conversion (e.g. uint64_t to u64) as was
done earlier with other kvm selftests. Kept these patches separate to keep
the review & changelog simpler.
4. Added PATCH 10, which replaces u64 gpa/gva to use gpa_t and gva_t and
converts the vaddr variable to gva as done by some previous commits for other
kvm selftests. Kept this patch separate to keep the review & changelog
simpler.
RFC v1 -> RFC v2
================
(mostly Sashiko review comments)
1. Fixed x86's stage-2 mmu handling in patch-1 - commit msg has more description
2. Added "cc" into the clobber list for hcalls in patch-3
3. Fixed the size calculation in kvm_arch_vm_post_create in patch-3 for
allocating 2 pages for 4K pagesize
4. Added patch-5 which prints vcpu_id in case of an error
