[PATCH v2 00/19] KVM: arm64: selftests: Tests for protected VMs
From: Fuad Tabba
Date: Mon Nov 09 2026 - 03:51:52 EST
Hi folks,
Changes since v1 [1]:
- New patch 1, which hides generic PtrAuth from a protected VM
without PtrAuth. The pkvm_id_regs test checks for it.
- New pkvm_sve test, and MOPS, PIE, POE and FPMR checks in
pkvm_id_regs.
- Use the selftest syscall wrappers and vm_check_cap().
- Marked pkvm_hvc() as called from the guest. (Joey)
- Collected Reviewed-by from Joey on patches 3, 6 and 7. (thanks!)
This series adds selftests for protected VMs. A test skips on a host
without pKVM, and so does any case where the host doesn't have the
required feature, e.g., PtrAuth, SVE or hugetlb pages.
A couple of points:
- Patch 1 is a fix, included here so that pkvm_id_regs can check the
correct behaviour. Without it, generic PtrAuth is advertised to a
protected VM without PtrAuth.
- Each area gets its own test rather than cases folded into existing
tests such as psci_test, hypercalls, set_id_regs, etc. A protected
guest requires its own boot path, and has to share the ucall pool
before its first ucall. On top of that, a protected guest gets the
opposite result for many of those tests' checks.
- Cases for a feature a protected VM may not have follow what the VM
is given, so they pass with or without the series that adds it [2],
and run once it lands. The debug cases follow
ID_AA64DFR0_EL1.DebugVer, the SVE cases KVM_CAP_ARM_SVE on a
protected VM's fd, and the MOPS, PIE, POE and FPMR checks their ID
register fields.
The series is structured as follows:
01: Hide generic PtrAuth from protected VMs without PtrAuth.
02: external_aborts: an abort injected before a vCPU's first run.
03-05: Generic selftest changes: creating a protected VM, the pKVM
function IDs and the ucall pool's address.
06-07: Protected-VM library: boot trampoline and helpers.
08-18: The tests, one per area.
19: MOPS, PIE, POE and FPMR checks in pkvm_id_regs.
Based on Linux 7.4-rc1 (6628e7d4c6b25; also applies to 7.4-rc2 7475ea8b58616).
Cheers,
