[PATCH 06/16] KVM: arm64: selftests: Add protected-VM library helpers
From: Fuad Tabba
Date: Wed Nov 04 2026 - 03:50:51 EST
A protected-VM test has to create the VM with the protected type and the
PSCI 0.2 vCPU feature, boot each vCPU through the trampoline from an
identity-mapped page, and have the guest share the ucall pool before its
first ucall. Secondaries start powered off for the guest to boot with
CPU_ON. A vCPU becomes a valid CPU_ON target only at its first KVM_RUN.
Add lib/arm64/pkvm.c to do this for the tests.
pkvm_vcpu_setup_boot_secondary() runs a secondary once with
immediate_exit set, so that it becomes a CPU_ON target. The library also
has a run loop, an SMCCC call for the guest, and a reader of the
process's locked-memory count. The host adds a protected VM's pinned
pages to that count. No capability advertises pKVM, so pkvm_supported()
tries to create a protected VM.
