[kvm-unit-tests PATCH 00/12] nSVM: NPT improvements and cleanups

From: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com>
Date: 2021-06-22 21:00:52

The first chunk of this series (everything up to the lib/vmalloc patch)
are cleanups and bug fixes for existing nSVM tests that I collected on
my first attempt at the new NPT test.  I originally wanted to piggyback
the existing "v1" nSVM tests and implemented the fixes/cleanups, but that
approach didn't go so well because of the v1 infrastructure limitations.

The common lib/vmalloc changes are to allow arch code to pass arbitrary
data to its setup_mmu() function.  x86-64 uses the param to avoid marking
PTEs a USER so that tests can enable SMEP (#PF if supervisor mode fetches
from a USER PTE) without exploding or having to duplicate all page tables.

The "new" test targets nested NPT by running L1 and L2 with different
EFER.NX and CR4.SMEP settings to verify that KVM uses the correct MMU
settings when injecting page faults.

Sean Christopherson (12):
  nSVM: Provide expected and actual exit codes on VMRUN test failure
  nSVM: Replace open coded NX manipulation with appropriate macros
  nSVM: Reset the VMCB before every v1 test
  nSVM: Explicitly save/update/restore EFER.NX for NPT NX test
  nSVM: Remove NPT reserved bits tests (new one on the way)
  nSVM: Stop forcing EFER.NX=1 for all tests
  nSVM: Remove a superfluous modification of guest EFER.NX in NPT NX
    test
  nSVM: Clear guest's EFER.NX in NPT NX test
  lib/vmalloc: Let arch code pass a value to its setup_mmu() helper
  x86: Let tests omit PT_USER_MASK when configuring virtual memory
  x86: Add GBPAGES CPUID macro, clean up CPUID comments
  nSVM: Add test for NPT reserved bit and #NPF error code behavior
