Subject: [PATCH v3 4/4] KVM: selftests: Extend vmx_set_nested_state_test to cover SVM
Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2025 20:48:03 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251121204803.991707-5-yosry.ahmed@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251121204803.991707-1-yosry.ahmed@linux.dev>
Add test cases for the validation checks in svm_set_nested_state(), and
allow the test to run with SVM as well as VMX. The SVM test also makes
sure that KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE accepts GIF being set or cleared if
EFER.SVME is cleared, verifying a recently fixed bug where GIF was
incorrectly expected to always be set when EFER.SVME is cleared.
