[kvm-unit-tests PATCH v2 00/10] SMP Support for x86 UEFI Tests

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

 



This series brings multi-vcpu support to UEFI tests on x86.

Most of the necessary AP bringup code already exists within kvm-unit-tests'
cstart64.S, and has now been either rewritten in C or moved to a common location
to be shared between EFI and non-EFI test builds.

A call gate is used to transition from 16-bit to 32-bit mode, since EFI may
not load the 32-bit entrypoint low enough to be reachable from the SIPI vector.

Changes in v2:
- rebase onto kvm-unit-tests@1a4529ce83 + seanjc's percpu apic_ops series [1].
- split some commits for readability.

The series has been tested with this patch [2] which fixes EFI pagetable setup.
