[PATCH v5 40/49] KVM: selftests: Add VGICv5 IRS address attribute tests

Fri Aug 7 04:32:58 PDT 2026


Add coverage for the VGICv5 IRS address attribute. The address is the
base of the guest-visible MMIO region used to configure the virtual
IRS, so userspace must provide a valid base address before the VM can
run.

Verify that KVM reports the attribute, returns VGIC_ADDR_UNDEF before
it is configured, rejects misaligned and out-of-IPA-range addresses,
accepts a valid base, rejects a second base, and fails vCPU entry if
the VGIC is initialized without an IRS address.
