[PATCH v9 3/3] RISC-V: KVM: selftests: Add RISC-V SBI STA shmem alignment tests
From: Jiakai Xu
Date: Fri Feb 27 2026 - 19:55:49 EST
Add RISC-V KVM selftests to verify the SBI Steal-Time Accounting (STA)
shared memory alignment requirements.
The SBI specification requires the STA shared memory GPA to be 64-byte
aligned, or set to all-ones to explicitly disable steal-time accounting.
This test verifies that KVM enforces the expected behavior when
configuring the SBI STA shared memory via KVM_SET_ONE_REG.
Specifically, the test checks that:
- misaligned GPAs are rejected with -EINVAL
- 64-byte aligned GPAs are accepted
- all-ones GPA is accepted

V8 -> V9: Dropped __riscv guard around INVALID_GPA, which is common to
all architectures.
V7 -> V8: Moved INVALID_GPA definition to kvm_util_types.h.
Removed comments in RISC-V check_steal_time_uapi().
Corrected reg.id assignment for SBI STA.
V6 -> V7: Removed RISCV_SBI_STA_REG() macro addition and used existing
KVM_REG_RISCV_SBI_STA_REG(shmem_lo) instead.
Refined assertion messages per review feedback.
Split into two patches per Andrew Jones' suggestion:
Refactored UAPI tests from steal_time_init() into dedicated
check_steal_time_uapi() function and added empty stub for
RISC-V.
Filled in RISC-V stub with STA alignment tests. (this patch)
