Hi,
This patch series introduces two tests to further enhance and verify the functionality of the KVM subsystem. These tests focus on MSR_IA32_DS_AREA and MSR_IA32_PERF_CAPABILITIES.
The first patch adds tests to verify the correct behavior when trying to set MSR_IA32_DS_AREA with a non-classical address. It checks that KVM is correctly faulting these non-classical addresses, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the KVM subsystem.
The second patch includes a comprehensive PEBS test that checks all possible combinations of PEBS-related bits in MSR_IA32_PERF_CAPABILITIES. This helps to ensure the accuracy of PEBS functionality.
Feedback and suggestions are welcomed and appreciated.
Sincerely, Jinrong Liang
