[kvm-unit-tests RESEND PATCH v3 0/8] Move npt test cases and NPT code improvements

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

 



If __setup_vm() is changed to setup_vm(), KUT will build tests with 
PT_USER_MASK set on all PTEs. It is a better idea to move nNPT tests 
to their own file so that tests don't need to fiddle with page tables midway.

The quick approach to do this would be to turn the current main into a 
small helper, without calling __setup_vm() from helper.

setup_mmu_range() function in vm.c was modified to allocate new user 
pages to implement nested page table.

Current implementation of nested page table does the page table build 
up statistically with 2048 PTEs and one pml4 entry. With newly 
implemented routine, nested page table can be implemented dynamically 
based on the RAM size of VM which enables us to have separate memory 
ranges to test various npt test cases.

Based on this implementation, minimal changes were required to be done 
in below mentioned existing APIs:
npt_get_pde(), npt_get_pte(), npt_get_pdpe().

v1 -> v2
Added new patch for building up a nested page table dynamically and 
did minimal changes required to make it adaptable with old test cases.

v2 -> v3
Added new patch to change setup_mmu_range to use it in implementation 
of nested page table.
Added new patches to correct indentation errors in svm.c, svm_npt.c and 
svm_tests.c.
Used scripts/Lindent from linux source code to fix indentation errors.

Last patch from this series was bounced back due to maximum characters for
patch was crossed, so resending the whole series again by spliting the patch in
multiples.
