[PATCH kvm-unit-tests 0/7]: x86: nVMX: Add tests for APICv & APIC pass-through to guest

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

This series of patches to kvm-unit-tests add a regression test for
APICv and some APIC pass-through tests.

Patches 1-4 moves IOAPIC/APIC related utilities to x86 lib and define
new APICv related VMCS definitions.

Patch 5 adds a unit-test for the bug fixed in commit "KVM: nVMX: Do
not load EOI-exitmap while running L2". This is a regression test that
verifies that vmcs02->eoi_exit_bitmap is not overridden with
vmcs01->eoi_exit_bitmap as a result of L1 IOAPIC scan request.

Patches 6-7 add unit-tests for L1 LAPIC/IOAPIC pass-through to L2.
The first test verfies that an asserted irq-line raise a
level-triggered interrupt directly from L1 IOAPIC to L2 and sets L1
IOAPIC RTE remote_irr. Then, L2 performs EOI directly to L1 LAPIC
which gets broadcasted to L1 IOAPIC and test verifies that indeed L1
IOAPIC RTE remote_irr is now cleared.
The second test does almost the same as the first except the
initial configuration of IOAPIC RTE happening from CPU1 while CPU0 is
running L2. This is a regression test that verfies that
vcpu->arch.ioapic_handled_vectors is updated correctly while vCPU is
running L2 and is running with LAPIC/IOAPIC pass-through.
