Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] RISC-V: KVM: selftests: Add PMU event filter test
Date: Fri,  7 Aug 2026 13:32:27 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260807053227.341700-3-yhchen312@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260807053227.341700-1-yhchen312@gmail.com>

Add a selftest that exercises KVM_SET_PMU_EVENT_FILTER on RISC-V. The
guest programs the CPU cycles and instructions SBI PMU events through
SBI_EXT_PMU_COUNTER_CFG_MATCH while the host installs filters with the
ALLOW and DENY actions, asserting that disallowed events return
SBI_ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED and allowed events succeed.

The test also validates ioctl argument rejection: an invalid action, a
non-zero flags field, and an over-large nevents value are each expected
to fail with -EINVAL or -E2BIG. A baseline run verifies PMU
availability and the test skips (KSFT_SKIP) when PMU or the filter
capability is absent.

+ * Test for RISC-V KVM_SET_PMU_EVENT_FILTER.
+ *
+ * Verify that a VM-scoped PMU event filter installed via the
+ * KVM_SET_PMU_EVENT_FILTER ioctl is enforced when a guest configures a
+ * counter through the SBI PMU COUNTER_CFG_MATCH call:
+ *
+ *   - with no filter, events are programmable (baseline / PMU probe);
+ *   - KVM_PMU_EVENT_DENY rejects the listed events;
+ *   - KVM_PMU_EVENT_ALLOW admits only the listed events;
+ *   - replacing the filter with an empty DENY list re-enables everything.
+ *
+ * The filter is checked before any perf event is created, so the test only
+ * ever programs the cycle event (always supported by the host PMU) and varies
+ * the filter *list* contents to exercise membership without depending on host
+ * support for other events.  Counter management and SBI error reporting happen
+ * in the guest; the host installs filters and checks the reported errors.
