[PATCH v15 14/23] KVM: selftests: Expose function to allocate vCPU stack
From: Lisa Wang
Date: Thu Oct 01 2026 - 15:45:55 EST
From: Sagi Shahar <sagis@xxxxxxxxxx>
Introduce kvm_allocate_vcpu_stack() to allocate a vCPU's stack
in preparation for TDX to allocate a vCPU's stack and initialize
its stack pointer.
TDX VMs' registers are protected state and cannot be initialized
using the KVM_SET_REGS ioctl() that is used for normal VMs. A TDX
vCPU's stack address will be a property of the TDX specific boot code
that initializes the vCPUs' stack pointers at boot.
