Careful: because this has nsmrs == 1, you are overwriting an u32 of the 
stack after struct kvm_msr_list.  You need to use your own struct 
similar to what is done with "buffer.header" and "buffer.entry".

More in general, this is not a test, but rather a library function used 
to read a single MSR.

If you would like to add a test for KVM_GET_MSR_FEATURE_INDEX_LIST that 
would be very welcome.  That would be a new executable.  Looking at the 
logic for the ioctl, the main purpose of the test should be:

- check that if features_list.nmsrs is too small it will set the nmsrs 
field and return -E2BIG.

- check that all MSRs returned by KVM_GET_MSR_FEATURE_INDEX_LIST can be 
accessed with KVM_GET_MSRS

So something like this:

   set nmsrs to 0 and try the ioctl
   check that it returns -E2BIG and has changed nmsrs
   if nmsrs != 1 {
     set nmsrs to 1 and try the ioctl again
     check that it returns -E2BIG
   }
   malloc a buffer with room for struct kvm_msr_list and nmsrs indices
   set nmsrs in the malloc-ed buffer and try the ioctl again
   for each index
     invoke kvm_get_feature_msr to read it

(The test should also be skipped if KVM does not expose the 
KVM_CAP_GET_MSR_FEATURES capability).

Thanks,

Paolo

Thank you for the feedback, the title is indeed a little bit misleading. 
My idea in this patch was to just add an additional check to all usages 
of KVM_GET_MSRS, since KVM_GET_MSR_FEATURE_INDEX_LIST is used only to 
probe host capabilities and processor features.
But you are right, a separate test would be better.

Thank you,
Emanuele

Hi Emanuele,

You might be able to get some inspiration from the aarch64/get-reg-list.c
test. The list of MSRs varies with KVM version and host processor, but
there may be a set of MSRs that does not vary with host processor and
should not be removed in later KVM versions. If that's the case, then
the !missing_regs assert concept of aarch64/get-reg-list.c may also
apply to this new test. Based on Paolo's comment, I presume at least the
!failed_get should apply. Finally, the test should do the E2BIG checks,
as Paolo states, but you may also want to create a lib function for
KVM_GET_MSR_FEATURE_INDEX_LIST, similar to vcpu_get_reg_list(), if you
think it may be of use to other tests.

Thanks,
drew
