[PATCH v2] KVM: arm64: selftests: Check ID regs are immutable after a failed run

Tue Aug 4 23:47:40 PDT 2026
Add a set_id_regs case covering ID register immutability when a vCPU's
first KVM_RUN fails after finalization but before
KVM_ARCH_FLAG_HAS_RAN_ONCE is set. The test provokes such a failure with
a PMUv3-enabled vCPU whose PMU is left uninitialized, then checks that
KVM_SET_ONE_REG on the feature and implementation ID registers, and
KVM_CREATE_DEVICE for a vGIC, are all rejected with -EBUSY.

Notes:
This exercises the bug fixed by the KVM/arm64 ID register finalisation
series and fails without it, so it should be applied on top of that
series:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260803-kvm-arm64-idreg-final-v2-0-d7d7e4efc640@kernel.org
Changes since v1:
- Cover the VM-wide implementation ID registers (MIDR_EL1, REVIDR_EL1,
AIDR_EL1) as well as the feature ID registers, per Mark's review.
- Check every feature ID field that could still be lowered before
finalization, rather than only the first one found.
- Report the skip under the same name as the pass, with the reason as a
ksft_print_msg() diagnostic, so automation can match results for this
test across runs.
