Subject: [PATCH 00/13] KVM: arm64: selftests: Run selftests in VHE EL2
Date: Wed, 17 Sep 2025 14:20:30 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250917212044.294760-1-oliver.upton@linux.dev> (raw)
I've been working on some MMU-related features that are unused by KVM
meaning they're somewhat annoying to test. Because of that, I found the
time / patience to port our existing selftests infrastructure over to
running in VHE EL2, opportunistically promoting tests when the stars
align.
Creating a VGIC is a hard requirement of enabling EL2 for a VM. As a
consequence of this, I need to eat my words from my earlier conversation
with Sean on this topic and hammer in a default VGICv3. This requires
some participation from the arch-neutral code given the ordering
constraints on vCPU and VGIC creation.
At the tail end of this series is a sanity test for EL2 but nothing is
actually running nested (yet). Despite that, running in EL2 has proven
valuable already as it has uncovered a bug [*].
This is all _very_ lightly tested on an M2 :) Applies to 6.17-rc4
