KVM selftests changes for 7.3, part 2 - Fix several issues with seeding KVM's pRNG, and rework the pRNG APIs to that the pRNG can be sanely used in host code, not just guest code. - Add an IRQ test to validate virtual IRQ deliverty for IRQs wired up via KVM_IRQFD + KVM_SET_GSI_ROUTING, with optional support for triggering IRQs via writes to an assigned VFIO device. - Add syscall wrappers to assert success on a variety of pthreads and CPU affinity APIs. - Set vCPU pthread affinity as early as possible to reduce contention issues that were surfaced by PREEMPT_LAZY, which result in runtimes of over a minute on large hosts, versus the expected ~5 seconds. - Rework the PMU counters test to run each testcase using a single VM with many vCPUs for each sub-testcase, instead of using a unique VM for each sub-testcase. This cuts the runtime by ~20x.
2026-07-29KVM: selftests: Trigger L2->L1 exits stress save+restore and #PF testYosry Ahmed
Extend the testing coverage in L2 by forcing a nested VM-Exit from L2 to L1 right after restore on every other iteration. Forcing a nested VM-Exit while L0 has control (e.g. without explicitly running L2 and making a hypercall) is valuable, as it often happens during live migration (e.g. L1 timer interrupt fires by the time the VM lands on the destination). To force the nested VM-Exit inject a #UD in to the saved vCPU state, and intercept #UD from L1. With this change, the test reliably reproduces the CR2 bug fixed by commit 5c247d08bc81 ("KVM: nSVM: Use vcpu->arch.cr2 when updating vmcb12 on nested #VMEXIT") -- at least on Milan, Genoa, and Turin CPUs.

2026-07-29KVM: selftests: Add basic stress test for save+restore and #PF handlingYosry Ahmed
Add a basic stress test for handling #PFs in a guest while the host is doing save+restore cycles. The guest periodically accesses non-present memory causing a #PF, and the #PF handler walks the page tables and updates the PTE to be present, like a proper #PF handler. After every access (and #PF), the guest triggers a sync and the test performs save+restore of the VM. This is not very meaningful as save+restore are performed after the access and #PF handling complete, but following changes will change that.

2026-07-29KVM: selftests: Expose PTE masks to guests as part of an MMUYosry Ahmed
Expose a guest_mmu to the guest to allow guest code to use the PTE masks for page table manipulation. Since guest page tables are not mapped in the guest by default, zero the PGD in guest_mmu in an attempt to make it more difficult for new tests to shoot themselves in the foot and assume that page tables can be immediately used by guest code. Ultimately, guest code can read CR3 any way, so guest_mmu.pgd doesn't add a lot of value.

2026-07-29KVM: selftests: Reuse GPR switching logic for nVMXYosry Ahmed
Reuse the GPR switching logic for nVMX by defining VMX_SWITCH_GPRS_ASM, which is essentially the same as SVM_SWITCH_GPRS_ASM but also switches RAX and doesn't switch RFLAGS, replacing the push/pop of a subset of the registers. The long clobber list of registers is no longer needed as registers are saved and restored appropriately (and not clobbered by L2). Define VMX_SWITCH_GPRS_ASM before including evmcs.h, such that it can be used by evmcs_vmlaunch() and evmcs_vmresume(). This replaces the apparently thread-safe push/pop sequence with the global GPR switching logic used by SVM, which isn't thread-safe at all. However this is still an improvement because: - The VMX logic is half-baked and prompts the UCALL clobber hack as it doesn't properly save/restore everything. Reusing the GPR switching logic used by SVM allows for dropping that hack. - Hitting a problem due to half-baked GPR save/restore logic is arguably more likely than thread-safety. Evidently, adding more involved stress tests fails on VMX with the existing push/pop sequence. OTOH, there are no known failures on SVM due to lack of thread-safety fo save/restore. Only one test currently uses more than one vCPU with nested (the memstress test). The logical next step is to move the guest_regs to be per-vCPU, making it thread-safe for both VMX and SVM in a proper way.

2026-07-29KVM: selftests: Rework GPR registers switching for SVM (and fix offsets)Yosry Ahmed
The assembly code defined by SAVE_GPR_C uses the wrong offsets for some registers in guest_regs. For example, the offset of RCX should be 0x08 not 0x10. Also, the last offset in the struct (R15) is 0x78, not 0x80, so the code actually saves and restore beyond the end of gpr64_regs. Eliminate hardcoded offsets by dynamically generating offsets using offset_of() and using macros to pass the offsets to assembly as asm constraints. To avoid register conflicts in inline assembly (since almost all GPRs are context-switched), access guest_regs via absolute symbol addressing (guest_regs + offset) rather than using a base register which could get overwritten mid-assembly. While at it, rename SAVE_GPR_C and LOAD_GPR_C to a single macro, SVM_SWITCH_GPRS_ASM, rename gpr64_regs to guest_regs, and expose it in processor.h (in preparation for reusing it for VMX).

2026-06-17KVM: selftests: Allocate a dedicated guest page for x86 L2 guest stackYosry Ahmed
Instead of relying on the L1-provided stack for L2, which is usually an array on L1's own stack, allocate a dedicated page of VM memory for the L2 stack in vcpu_alloc_{vmx/svm}() and use that as L2's RSP in the VMCS/VMCB instead of the L1-provided value. Most L1 guest code does not do anything with the L2 stack other than stuff it in RSP, so this change is transparent and the L1-provided stack is silently ignored. The only exception is memstress nested L1 code which puts the vCPU index on L2's stack, so update this code to use the newly allocated stack. L1-provided stacks will be dropped and cleaned up separately.

Add a selftest to verify KVM's handling of {de,en}crypt debug ioctls, specifically focusing on edge cases around the chunk (16 bytes) and page (4096) sizes, where KVM had multiple bugs. E.g. KVM would fail to handle small sizes that aren't naturally aligned and sized, would buffer overflow if the destination was unaligned but the source was not, etc. Attempt to strike a balance between an exhaustive test and a reasonable runtime. On a system with both SEV and SEV-ES support, the current runtime is under 45 seconds. Which isn't great, but it's tolerable, and it's not obvious which of the combinations are "better" than the others.

KVM nested SVM changes for 7.1 (with one common x86 fix) - To minimize the probability of corrupting guest state, defer KVM's non-architectural delivery of exception payloads (e.g. CR2 and DR6) until consumption of the payload is imminent, and force delivery of the payload in all paths where userspace saves relevant state. - Use vcpu->arch.cr2 when updating vmcb12's CR2 on nested #VMEXIT to fix a bug where L2's CR2 can get corrupted after a save/restore, e.g. if the VM is migrated while L2 is faulting in memory. - Fix a class of nSVM bugs where some fields written by the CPU are not synchronized from vmcb02 to cached vmcb12 after VMRUN, and so are not up-to-date when saved by KVM_GET_NESTED_STATE. - Fix a class of bugs where the ordering between KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE and KVM_SET_{S}REGS could cause vmcb02 to be incorrectly initialized after save+restore. - Add a variety of missing nSVM consistency checks. - Fix several bugs where KVM failed to correctly update VMCB fields on nested #VMEXIT. - Fix several bugs where KVM failed to correctly synthesize #UD or #GP for SVM-related instructions. - Add support for save+restore of virtualized LBRs (on SVM). - Refactor various helpers and macros to improve clarity and (hopefully) make the code easier to maintain. - Aggressively sanitize fields when copying from vmcb12 to guard against unintentionally allowing L1 to utilize yet-to-be-defined features. - Fix several bugs where KVM botched rAX legality checks when emulating SVM instructions. Note, KVM is still flawed in that KVM doesn't address size prefix overrides for 64-bit guests; this should probably be documented as a KVM erratum. - Fail emulation of VMRUN/VMLOAD/VMSAVE if mapping vmcb12 fails instead of somewhat arbitrarily synthesizing #GP (i.e. don't bastardize AMD's already- sketchy behavior of generating #GP if for "unsupported" addresses). - Cache all used vmcb12 fields to further harden against TOCTOU bugs.

2026-03-02KVM: selftests: Add a flag to identify AMD compatible test casesZhiquan Li
Most of KVM x86 selftests for AMD are compatible with Hygon architecture (but not all), add a flag "host_cpu_is_amd_compatible" to figure out these cases. Following test failures on Hygon platform can be fixed: * Fix hypercall test: Hygon architecture also uses VMMCALL as guest hypercall instruction. * Following test failures due to access reserved memory address regions: - access_tracking_perf_test - demand_paging_test - dirty_log_perf_test - dirty_log_test - kvm_page_table_test - memslot_modification_stress_test - pre_fault_memory_test - x86/dirty_log_page_splitting_test Hygon CSV also makes the "physical address space width reduction", the reduced physical address bits are reported by bits 11:6 of CPUID[0x8000001f].EBX as well, so the existed logic is totally applicable for Hygon processors. Mapping memory into these regions and accessing to them results in a #PF.

KVM x86 APIC-ish changes for 6.20 - Fix a benign bug where KVM could use the wrong memslots (ignored SMM) when creating a vCPU-specific mapping of guest memory. - Clean up KVM's handling of marking mapped vCPU pages dirty. - Drop a pile of *ancient* sanity checks hidden behind in KVM's unused ASSERT() macro, most of which could be trivially triggered by the guest and/or user, and all of which were useless. - Fold "struct dest_map" into its sole user, "struct rtc_status", to make it more obvious what the weird parameter is used for, and to allow burying the RTC shenanigans behind CONFIG_KVM_IOAPIC=y. - Bury all of ioapic.h and KVM_IRQCHIP_KERNEL behind CONFIG_KVM_IOAPIC=y. - Add a regression test for recent APICv update fixes. - Rework KVM's handling of VMCS updates while L2 is active to temporarily switch to vmcs01 instead of deferring the update until the next nested VM-Exit. The deferred updates approach directly contributed to several bugs, was proving to be a maintenance burden due to the difficulty in auditing the correctness of deferred updates, and was polluting "struct nested_vmx" with a growing pile of booleans. - Handle "hardware APIC ISR", a.k.a. SVI, updates in kvm_apic_update_apicv() to consolidate the updates, and to co-locate SVI updates with the updates for KVM's own cache of ISR information. - Drop a dead function declaration.

KVM SVM changes for 6.20 - Drop a user-triggerable WARN on nested_svm_load_cr3() failure. - Add support for virtualizing ERAPS. Note, correct virtualization of ERAPS relies on an upcoming, publicly announced change in the APM to reduce the set of conditions where hardware (i.e. KVM) *must* flush the RAP. - Ignore nSVM intercepts for instructions that are not supported according to L1's virtual CPU model. - Add support for expedited writes to the fast MMIO bus, a la VMX's fastpath for EPT Misconfig. - Don't set GIF when clearing EFER.SVME, as GIF exists independently of SVM, and allow userspace to restore nested state with GIF=0. - Treat exit_code as an unsigned 64-bit value through all of KVM. - Add support for fetching SNP certificates from userspace. - Fix a bug where KVM would use vmcb02 instead of vmcb01 when emulating VMLOAD or VMSAVE on behalf of L2. - Misc fixes and cleanups.
2026-01-16KVM: selftests: Test READ=>WRITE dirty logging behavior for shadow MMUSean Christopherson
Update the nested dirty log test to validate KVM's handling of READ faults when dirty logging is enabled. Specifically, set the Dirty bit in the guest PTEs used to map L2 GPAs, so that KVM will create writable SPTEs when handling L2 read faults. When handling read faults in the shadow MMU, KVM opportunistically creates a writable SPTE if the mapping can be writable *and* the gPTE is dirty (or doesn't support the Dirty bit), i.e. if KVM doesn't need to intercept writes in order to emulate Dirty-bit updates. To actually test the L2 READ=>WRITE sequence, e.g. without masking a false pass by other test activity, route the READ=>WRITE and WRITE=>WRITE sequences to separate L1 pages, and differentiate between "marked dirty due to a WRITE access/fault" and "marked dirty due to creating a writable SPTE for a READ access/fault". The updated sequence exposes the bug fixed by KVM commit 1f4e5fc83a42 ("KVM: x86: fix nested guest live migration with PML") when the guest performs a READ=>WRITE sequence with dirty guest PTEs. Opportunistically tweak and rename the address macros, and add comments, to make it more obvious what the test is doing. E.g. NESTED_TEST_MEM1 vs. GUEST_TEST_MEM doesn't make it all that obvious that the test is creating aliases in both the L2 GPA and GVA address spaces, but only when L1 is using TDP to run L2.

2026-01-14KVM: selftests: Add a selftests for nested VMLOAD/VMSAVEYosry Ahmed
Add a test for VMLOAD/VMSAVE in an L2 guest. The test verifies that L1 intercepts for VMSAVE/VMLOAD always work regardless of VIRTUAL_VMLOAD_VMSAVE_ENABLE_MASK. Then, more interestingly, it makes sure that when L1 does not intercept VMLOAD/VMSAVE, they work as intended in L2. When VIRTUAL_VMLOAD_VMSAVE_ENABLE_MASK is enabled by L1, VMSAVE/VMLOAD from L2 should interpret the GPA as an L2 GPA and translate it through the NPT. When VIRTUAL_VMLOAD_VMSAVE_ENABLE_MASK is disabled by L1, VMSAVE/VMLOAD from L2 should interpret the GPA as an L1 GPA. To test this, put two VMCBs (0 and 1) in L1's physical address space, and have a single L2 GPA where: - L2 VMCB GPA == L1 VMCB(0) GPA - L2 VMCB GPA maps to L1 VMCB(1) via the NPT in L1. This setup allows detecting how the GPA is interpreted based on which L1 VMCB is actually accessed. In both cases, L2 sets KERNEL_GS_BASE (one of the fields handled by VMSAVE/VMLOAD), and executes VMSAVE to write its value to the VMCB. The test userspace code then checks that the write was made to the correct VMCB (based on whether VIRTUAL_VMLOAD_VMSAVE_ENABLE_MASK is set by L1), and writes a new value to that VMCB. L2 then executes VMLOAD to load the new value and makes sure it's reflected correctly in KERNERL_GS_BASE.

Fix KVM's long-standing buggy handling of SVM's exit_code as a 32-bit value. Per the APM and Xen commit d1bd157fbc ("Big merge the HVM full-virtualisation abstractions.") (which is arguably more trustworthy than KVM), offset 0x70 is a single 64-bit value: 070h 63:0 EXITCODE Track exit_code as a single u64 to prevent reintroducing bugs where KVM neglects to correctly set bits 63:32.

2026-01-08KVM: selftests: Reuse virt mapping functions for nested EPTsYosry Ahmed
Rework tdp_map() and friends to use __virt_pg_map() and drop the custom EPT code in __tdp_pg_map() and tdp_create_pte(). The EPT code and __virt_pg_map() are practically identical, the main differences are: - EPT uses the EPT struct overlay instead of the PTE masks. - EPT always assumes 4-level EPTs. To reuse __virt_pg_map(), extend the PTE masks to work with EPT's RWX and X-only capabilities, and provide a tdp_mmu_init() API so that EPT can pass in the EPT PTE masks along with the root page level (which is currently hardcoded to '4'). Don't reuse KVM's insane overloading of the USER bit for EPT_R as there's no reason to multiplex bits in the selftests, e.g. selftests aren't trying to shadow guest PTEs and thus don't care about funnelling protections into a common permissions check. Another benefit of reusing the code is having separate handling for upper-level PTEs vs 4K PTEs, which avoids some quirks like setting the large bit on a 4K PTE in the EPTs. For all intents and purposes, no functional change intended.
