This patch series enables the KVM selftests for s390x. As a first
test, the sync_regs from x86 has been adapted to s390x.

Please note that the ucall() interface is not used yet - since
s390x neither has PIO nor MMIO, this needs some more work first
before it becomes usable (we likely should use a DIAG hypercall
here, which is what the sync_reg test is currently using, too...).

Thomas Huth (4):
  KVM: selftests: Guard struct kvm_vcpu_events with
    __KVM_HAVE_VCPU_EVENTS
  KVM: selftests: Align memory region addresses to 1M on s390x
  KVM: selftests: Add processor code for s390x
  KVM: selftests: Add the sync_regs test for s390x

No objections at all, though it would be like to have ucall plumbed in
from the beginning.

I'm still looking at the ucall interface ... what I don't quite get yet
is the question why the ucall_type there is selectable during runtime?

Are there plans to have test that could either use UCALL_PIO or
UCALL_MMIO? If not, what about moving ucall_init() and ucall() to
architecture specific code in tools/testing/selftests/kvm/lib/aarch64/
and tools/testing/selftests/kvm/lib/x86_64 instead, and to remove the
ucall_type stuff again (so that x86 is hard-wired to PIO and aarch64
is hard-wired to MMIO)? ... then I could add a DIAG-based ucall
on s390x more easily, I think.

Yes, that would work.  I think Andrew wanted the flexibility to use MMIO
on x86, but it's not really necessary to have it.

If the flexibility isn't necessary, then I agree that it'll be nicer to
put the ucall_init() in arch setup code, avoiding the need to remember
it in each unit test.

Thanks,
