[PATCH v2 00/13] KVM: selftests: Morph max_guest_mem to mmu_stress

[Sean Christopherson]

Marc/Oliver,

I would love a sanity check on patches 2 and 3 before I file a bug against
gcc.  The code is pretty darn simple, so I don't think I've misdiagnosed the
problem, but I've also been second guessing myself _because_ it's so simple;
it seems super unlikely that no one else would have run into this before.

On to the patches...

The main purpose of this series is to convert the max_guest_memory_test into
a more generic mmu_stress_test.  The patches were originally posted as part
a KVM x86/mmu series to test the x86/mmu changes, hence the v2.

The basic gist of the "conversion" is to have the test do mprotect() on
guest memory while vCPUs are accessing said memory, e.g. to verify KVM and
mmu_notifiers are working as intended.

Patches 1-4 are a somewhat unexpected side quest that I can (arguably should)
post separately if that would make things easier.  The original plan was that
patch 2 would be a single patch, but things snowballed.

Patch 2 reworks vcpu_get_reg() to return a value instead of using an
out-param.  This is the entire motivation for including these patches;
having to define a variable just to bump the program counter on arm64
annoyed me.

Patch 4 adds hardening to vcpu_{g,s}et_reg() to detect potential truncation,
as KVM's uAPI allows for registers greater than the 64 bits the are supported
in the "outer" selftests APIs ((vcpu_set_reg() takes a u64, vcpu_get_reg()
now returns a u64).

Patch 1 is a change to KVM's uAPI headers to move the KVM_REG_SIZE
definition to common code so that the selftests side of things doesn't
need #ifdefs to implement the hardening in patch 4.

Patch 3 is the truly unexpected part.  With the vcpu_get_reg() rework,
arm64's vpmu_counter_test fails when compiled with gcc-13, and on gcc-11
with an added "noinline".  AFAICT, the failure doesn't actually have
anything to with vcpu_get_reg(); I suspect the largely unrelated change
just happened to run afoul of a latent gcc bug.

Pending a sanity check, I will file a gcc bug.  In the meantime, I am
hoping to fudge around the issue in KVM selftests so that the vcpu_get_reg()
cleanup isn't blocked, and because the hack-a-fix is arguably a cleanup
on its own.

v2:
 - Rebase onto kvm/next.
 - Add the aforementioned vcpu_get_reg() changes/disaster.
 - Actually add arm64 support for the fancy mprotect() testcase (I did this
   before v1, but managed to forget to include the changes when posting).
 - Emit "mov %rax, (%rax)" on x86. [James]
 - Add a comment to explain the fancy mprotect() vs. vCPUs logic.
 - Drop the KVM x86 patches (applied and/or will be handled separately).
