Subject: [PATCH 7/8] KVM: selftests: Support running stress save+restore and #PF test in L2
Date: Mon, 18 May 2026 20:25:13 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260518202514.2037078-8-yosry@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260518202514.2037078-1-yosry@kernel.org>
From: Yosry Ahmed <yosryahmed@google.com>
Extend the stress test to allow running the access+#PF code in L2
instead of L1 by adding proper L1 guest code to bootstrap L2. The test
runs in nested mode if a '-n' flag is added.
