[PATCH 0/2] 52-bit VA guest mode ID support
From: Itaru Kitayama
Date: Tue Aug 25 2026 - 17:20:06 EST
This patch series extends the arm64 KVM selftest framework
to support 52-bit guest virtual address (VA) modes in addition to
the existing 52-bit physical address (PA) configurations.
The motivation is to enable validation of LPA2 guest memory-management
behaviour in configurations that use a 52-bit VA space.
While the selftest framework already supports testing 52-bit PA
configurations, it lacks the ability to exercise guests running with
52-bit virtual addresses, leaving part of the LPA2 functionality untested.
To address this, the series introduces new guest modes for 52-bit VA
operation, adds five-level page table support where required, and
performs runtime detection of host 52-bit VA capability so that
LPA2-enabled guest VA tests are executed only on supported systems.
Testing:
Built and tested on arm64.
Verified on QEMU with a V52-capable guest configuration.
Confirmed correct operation of high virtual address mappings by
exercising guest memory accesses in the 52-bit VA range.
