[PATCH 8/8] KVM: selftests: Trigger L2->L1 exits stress save+restore and #PF test
From: Yosry Ahmed
Date: Mon May 18 2026 - 16:27:32 EST
From: Yosry Ahmed <yosryahmed@xxxxxxxxxx>
Extend the testing coverage in L2 by injecting a #UD into the vCPU every
other iteration during restore, and intercepting #UD from L1,
essentially forcing an L2 -> L1 VM-Exit directly after save+restore.
With this change, the test reliably reproduces the CR2 bug fixed by
commit 5c247d08bc81 ("KVM: nSVM: Use vcpu->arch.cr2 when updating vmcb12
on nested #VMEXIT") -- at least on Milan, Genoa, and Turin CPUs.
