[PATCH v2 2/2] RISC-V: KVM: selftests: Fix firmware counter read in sbi_pmu_test
From: Jiakai Xu
Date: Sat Mar 07 2026 - 21:38:47 EST
The current sbi_pmu_test attempts to read firmware counters without
configuring them first with SBI_EXT_PMU_COUNTER_CFG_MATCH.
Previously this did not fail because KVM incorrectly allowed the read
and accessed fw_event[] with an out-of-bounds index when the counter
was unconfigured. After fixing that bug, the read now correctly returns
SBI_ERR_INVALID_PARAM, causing the selftest to fail.
Update the test to configure a firmware event before reading the
counter. Also add a negative test to ensure that attempting to read an
unconfigured firmware counter fails gracefully.
