None of the other instructions in the test have intercepts, i.e. will also fail if the instructions are supported in bare metal but not the test VM. An alternative would be to force emulation when using KVM, but KVM doesn't currently emulating pcommit (deprecated by Intel), clwb, or any of the fence instructions (at least, not afaict; I'm somewhat surprised *fence isn't "required"). diff --git a/x86/unittests.cfg b/x86/unittests.cfg index f324e32d..5afb5dad 100644 --- a/x86/unittests.cfg +++ b/x86/unittests.cfg @@ -185,6 +185,7 @@ arch = x86_64 [memory] file = memory.flat +accel = tcg extra_params = -cpu max arch = x86_64
