Hello,

The series aims to add vPMU selftests to improve the test coverage
for KVM's PMU emulation. It includes the tests that validates actions
from userspace, such as verifying the guest read/write accesses to the
PMu registers while limiting the number for PMCs, and allowing or denying
certain events via KVM_ARM_VCPU_PMU_V3_FILTER attribute. It also includes
tests for KVM's guarding of the PMU attributes to count EL2/EL3 events,
and formal KVM behavior that enables PMU emulation. The last part validates
the guest expectations of the vPMU by setting up a stress test that
force-migrates multiple vCPUs frequently across random pCPUs in the system,
thus ensuring KVM's management of vCPU PMU contexts correctly.

As suggested by Oliver in my original post of the series [1] (and with
Reiji's permission), I'm re-posting the series to include the
selftest patches from Reiji's series that aims to limit the number
of PMCs for the guest [2].

Patches 1-4 are unmodified patches 11-14 from Reiji's series [2],
which introduces the vPMU selftests that adds a test to validate
the read/write functionalities for the guest accesses to the
implemented and unimplemented counters.

Patch-5 refactors the existing tests for plugging-in the upcoming tests
easily and rename the test file to a more generic name.

Patch-6 and 7 add helper macros and functions respectively to interact
with the cycle counter.

Patch-8 extends create_vpmu_vm() to accept an array of event filters
as an argument that are to be applied to the VM.

Patch-9 tests the KVM_ARM_VCPU_PMU_V3_FILTER attribute by scripting
various combinations of events that are to be allowed or denied to
the guest and verifying guest's behavior.

Patch-10 adds test to validate KVM's handling of guest requests to count
events in EL2/EL3.

Patch-11 introduces the vCPU migration stress testing by validating cycle
counter and general purpose counter's behavior across vCPU migrations.

Patch-12, 13, and 14 expands the tests in patch-8 to validate
overflow/IRQ functionality, chained events, and occupancy of all the PMU
counters, respectively.

Patch-15 extends create_vpmu_vm() to create multiple vCPUs for the VM.

Patch-16 expands the stress tests for multiple vCPUs.

The series has been tested on hardwares with PMUv3p1 and PMUv3p5 on
top of v6.2-rc7 plus Reiji's series [2].

Thank you.
Raghavendra
