May I suggest the following for the changelog to better describe the problem (and blame the original commit): KVM: selftests: Actually pass function in %rax when calling hypercall The KVM hypercall ABI requires the caller to pass the hypercall function number via %rax. Unfortunately, kvm_hypercall() in selftests falls short and doesn't set the value of %rax. In turn, trace events show that kvm_pv_test doesn't work properly: kvm_pv_test-53132: kvm_hypercall: nr 0x0 a0 0x0 a1 0x0 a2 0x0 a3 0x0 kvm_pv_test-53132: kvm_hypercall: nr 0x0 a0 0x0 a1 0x0 a2 0x0 a3 0x0 kvm_pv_test-53132: kvm_hypercall: nr 0x0 a0 0x0 a1 0x0 a2 0x0 a3 0x0 Fix the issue by taking the function number as an input operand to %rax. Fixes: ac4a4d6de22e ("selftests: kvm: test enforcement of paravirtual cpuid features") -- Thanks, Oliver

kvm_hypercall has to place the hypercall number in rax.
