Subject: [PATCH 00/20] KVM: selftests: PPC pre-enabling
Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2026 16:04:51 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260826230511.972824-1-seanjc@google.com> (raw)

This is a big pile of cleanups and refactoring to prepare for PPC support in
KVM selftests.  PPC has paging modes that require multi-page page tables, and
those page tables need to be naturally aligned.  The original proposal was to
plumb in an @align param to the page allocators[*], but I didn't love the idea
of adding another rarely used param to the allocators.

Reworking the APIs to take a region type requires a fair bit of churn, and was
more painful than expected as I didn't realize just how many one-off tests did
weird things, but overall I think it's worth it?  If only to keep cutting down
on the use of magic memslot numbers in tests.

This needs explicit testing on s390.  I tested on arm64 and x86, and given the
number of failures I had to wade through, I wouldn't be at all suprised if I
broke something subtle on s390 as well.

I'm less concerned about RISC-V and LoongArch as they don't have any custom
tests that are affected (which is where I got burned).
