This patch series adds a selftest suite to validate the s390x architecture specific ucontrol KVM interface.
When creating a VM on s390x it is possible to create it as userspace controlled VM or in short ucontrol VM. These VMs delegates the management of the VM to userspace instead of handling most events within the kernel. Consequently the userspace has to manage interrupts, memory allocation etc.
Before this patch set this functionality lacks any public test cases. It is desirable to add test cases for this interface to be able to reduce the risk of breaking changes in the future.
In order to provision a ucontrol VM the kernel needs to be compiled with the CONFIG_KVM_S390_UCONTROL enabled. The users with sys_admin capability can then create a new ucontrol VM providing the KVM_VM_S390_UCONTROL parameter to the KVM_CREATE_VM ioctl.
The kernels existing selftest helper functions can only be partially be reused for these tests.
The test cases cover existing special handling of ucontrol VMs within the implementation and basic VM creation and handling cases: * Reject setting HPAGE when VM is ucontrol * Assert KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG is rejected * Assert KVM_S390_VM_MEM_LIMIT_SIZE is rejected * Assert state of initial SIE flags setup by the kernel * Run simple program in VM with and without DAT * Assert KVM_EXIT_S390_UCONTROL exit on not mapped memory access * Assert functionality of storage keys in ucontrol VM
Running the test cases requires sys_admin capabilities to start the ucontrol VM. This can be achieved by running as root or with a command like:
sudo setpriv --reuid nobody --inh-caps -all,+sys_admin \ --ambient-caps -all,+sys_admin --bounding-set -all,+sys_admin \ ./ucontrol_test
The patch set does also contain some code cleanup / consolidation of architecture specific defines that are now used in multiple test cases.
