So I've repeatedly tried with the current state of the NV patches[1],
on both an ARMv8.0 system (Seattle) and an ARMv8.2 pile of putrid junk
(vim3l). PSCI is pretty happy, although I can only test with at most 8
vcpus (GICv2 gets in the way).

Can you please:

- post the detailed error by running the PSCI unit test on its own
I tried to trace the error, and I found in kernel function kvm_mpidr_to_vcpu, casually, mpidr returns zero and we can't get the expected vcpu, and psci
 test failed due to this.

Can you post the exact error message from the unit test?

And as I mentioned in my last before, the psci error is introduced by the
 patch KVM: arm64: VNCR-ize ELR_EL1.(Only test result)
Maybe you have to try tens of times to reproduce. :)
Deep into the patch itself, I don't find any connection between the patch
and the issue.

Me neither, and I haven't managed to reproduce your issue.

- test with the current state of the patches
I test with your nv-5.7-rc1-WIP branch and latest kvm_unit_test, the
error still exist.

How many vcpus do you create with this PSCI test?

Thanks,

        M.
