Unnecessary copy+paste, this test doesn't setup a #GP handler.

Please don't add a wrappers that are single line passthroughs.

(a) don't define global variables with super common names (this test sets a bad
precedent). (b) this array is used in *one* function, i.e. it can be a local
variable. (c) using an array doesn't save you code and just obfuscates what's
happening.

Don't abbreviate "counter", there's really no need and "ctr" versus "ctrl" is
already confusing enough.

This helper shouldn't exist. It's largely a symptom of using an array.

You're comparing a 32-bit value against a 64-bit value.

static uint64_t test_with_fixed_counter_filter(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu,
uint32_t action, uint32_t bitmap)
{
...

}

static void __test_fixed_counter_bitmap(...)
{
uint32_t bitmap;

TEST_ASSERT(nr_fixed_counters < sizeof(bitmap));

for (i = 0; i < BIT(nr_fixed_counters); i++) {
count = test_with_fixed_counter_filter(vcpu, KVM_PMU_EVENT_ALLOW,
bitmap);
TEST_ASSERT(!!count == !!(bitmap & BIT(idx)));

count = test_with_fixed_counter_filter(vcpu, KVM_PMU_EVENT_DENY,
bitmap);
TEST_ASSERT(!!count == !(bitmap & BIT(idx)));

}
