The main purpose of this series is to convert the max_guest_memory_test
into a more generic mmu_stress_test. The basic gist of the "conversion"
is to have the test do mprotect() on guest memory while vCPUs are
accessing said memory, e.g. to verify KVM and mmu_notifiers are working
as intended.
Patches 1-4 are a somewhat unexpected side quest. The original plan was
that patch 3 would be a single patch, but things snowballed.
Patch 3 reworks vcpu_get_reg() to return a value instead of using an
out-param. This is the entire motivation for including these patches;
having to define a variable just to bump the program counter on arm64
annoyed me.
Patch 4 adds hardening to vcpu_{g,s}et_reg() to detect potential
truncation, as KVM's uAPI allows for registers greater than the 64 bits
that are supported in the "outer" selftests APIs ((vcpu_set_reg() takes a
u64, vcpu_get_reg() now returns a u64).
Patch 1 is a change to KVM's uAPI headers to move the KVM_REG_SIZE
definition to common code so that the selftests side of things doesn't
need #ifdefs to implement the hardening in patch 4.
Patch 2 is the truly unexpected part. With the vcpu_get_reg() rework,
arm64's vpmu_counter_test fails when compiled with gcc-13, and on gcc-11
with an added "noinline". Long story short, selftests are being compiled
with strict aliasing enabled, which allows the compiler to optimize away
"u64 *" => "uint64_t *" casts as u64 (unsigned long long) and uint64_t
(unsigned long) are technically not aliases of each other. *sigh*
v3:
- Rebased onto v6.12-rc2.
- Disable strict aliasing to fix the PMCR snafu.
- Collect reviews. [Drew]
- Minor changelog fixes. [Drew]
- Include ucall_common.h to prep for RISC-V. [Drew]
v2:
- Rebase onto kvm/next.
- Add the aforementioned vcpu_get_reg() changes/disaster.
- Actually add arm64 support for the fancy mprotect() testcase (I did this
before v1, but managed to forget to include the changes when posting).
- Emit "mov %rax, (%rax)" on x86. [James]
- Add a comment to explain the fancy mprotect() vs. vCPUs logic.
- Drop the KVM x86 patches (applied and/or will be handled separately).
