KVM: selftests: Replace "paddr" with "gpa" throughout

2026-04-20T21:54:17Z

Replace all variations of "paddr" variables in KVM selftests with "gpa", with the exception of the ELF structures, as those fields are not specific to guest virtual addresses, to complete the conversion from vm_paddr_t to gpa_t. No functional change intended. Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260420212004.3938325-20-seanjc@google.com Signed-off-by: Sean Christopherson

KVM: selftests: Replace "vaddr" with "gva" throughout

2026-04-20T21:54:17Z

Replace all variations of "vaddr" variables in KVM selftests with "gva", with the exception of the ELF structures, as those fields are not specific to guest virtual addresses, to complete the conversion from vm_vaddr_t to gva_t. Opportunistically use gva_t instead of u64 for relevant variables, and fixup indentation as appropriate. No functional change intended.

KVM: selftests: Rename vm_vaddr_unused_gap() => vm_unused_gva_gap()

2026-04-20T21:54:17Z

Now that KVM selftests use gva_t instead of vm_vaddr_t, rename the API for finding an unused range of virtual memory to drop the defunct terminology and use "vm" for the scope. Opportunistically clean up the function comment to drop superfluous and redundant information. No functional change intended.

KVM: selftests: Drop "vaddr_" from APIs that allocate memory for a given VM

2026-04-20T21:54:17Z

Now that KVM selftests use gva_t instead of vm_vaddr_t, drop "vaddr_" from the core memory allocation APIs as the information is extraneous and does more harm than good. E.g. the APIs don't _just_ allocate virtual memory, they allocate backing physical memory and install mappings in the guest page tables. And as proven by kmalloc() and malloc(), developers generally expect that allocations come with a working virtual address. Opportunistically clean up the function comment for vm_alloc(), and drop the misleading and superfluous comments for its wrappers. No functional change intended.

KVM: selftests: Use u8 instead of uint8_t

2026-04-20T21:54:17Z

Use u8 instead of uint8_t to make the KVM selftests code more concise and more similar to the kernel (since selftests are primarily developed by kernel developers). This commit was generated with the following command: git ls-files tools/testing/selftests/kvm | xargs sed -i 's/uint8_t/u8/g' Then by manually adjusting whitespace to make checkpatch.pl happy.

KVM: selftests: Use u32 instead of uint32_t

KVM: selftests: Use u64 instead of uint64_t

2026-04-20T21:54:16Z

Use u64 instead of uint64_t to make the KVM selftests code more concise and more similar to the kernel (since selftests are primarily developed by kernel developers). This commit was generated with the following command: git ls-files tools/testing/selftests/kvm | xargs sed -i 's/uint64_t/u64/g' Then by manually adjusting whitespace to make checkpatch.pl happy. Include in include/kvm_util_types.h, iinclude/test_util.h, and include/x86/pmu.h to pick up the tools-defined u64. Arguably, all headers (especially kvm_util_types.h) should have already been including stdint.h to get uint64_t from the libc headers, but the missing dependency only rears its head once KVM uses u64 instead of uint64_t. No functional change intended.

KVM: selftests: Use gpa_t instead of vm_paddr_t

2026-04-20T21:54:16Z

Replace all occurrences of vm_paddr_t with gpa_t to align with KVM code and with the conversion helpers (e.g. addr_hva2gpa()).

KVM: LoongArch: selftests: Add basic PMU event counting test

2026-04-09T10:56:37Z

Introduce a basic PMU test that verifies hardware event counting for four performance counters. The test enables the events for CPU cycles, instructions retired, branch instructions, and branch misses, runs a fixed number of loops, and checks that the counter values fall within expected ranges. It also validates that the host supports PMU and that the VM feature is enabled. Signed-off-by: Song Gao Signed-off-by: Huacai Chen
