Subject: [PATCH v8 1/5] KVM: selftests: Refactor allocating guest stack into a helper
Date: Tue, 9 Jun 2026 17:30:26 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260610003030.2957261-2-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260610003030.2957261-1-seanjc@google.com>
From: Yosry Ahmed <yosry@kernel.org>
In preparation for reusing the logic to allocate stacks for nested
guests, refactoring allocating a guest stack and aligning RSP into a
helper.
No functional change intended.
