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).

Nicholas Piggin (1):
KVM: selftests: Use goto instead of do-while to retry finding unused
physical pages
Sean Christopherson (19):
KVM: selftests: Use MEM_REGION_PT memslot instead of '0' for s390
regions/segments
KVM: selftests: Bump the minimum GPA for page tables to 0x200000
KVM: selftests: Use vm_alloc_page_table() to allocate LoongArch page
tables
KVM: selftests: Rename "num" param to "nr_pages" for physical page
allocators
KVM: selftests: Extend page allocator to support naturally aligned
allocations
KVM: selftests: Make the single-page allocator APIs static inline

routing test
KVM: selftests: Add a wrapper API to allocate multiple page table
pages
KVM: selftests: Initialize vm->memslots[] with invalid memslots during
creation
KVM: selftests: Add APIs to override memory region types with custom
memslots
KVM: selftests: Add TEST_EXTRA memory region type for "special"
memslots
KVM: selftests: Use TEST_EXTRA region in arm64's vGIC LPI stress test
KVM: selftests: Use TEST_EXTRA region in x86's smaller MAXPHYADDR test
KVM: selftests: Use TEST_EXTRA region in set memory region test
KVM: selftests: Take the memory region type, not memslot, in page
allocators
KVM: selftests: Use TEST_ASSERT(), not assert(), in
vm_get_mem_region()
KVM: selftests: Automatically pick min_gpa for allocations based on
region type
KVM: selftests: Add arch hook to force page tables to be naturally
aligned
