[PATCH v16 50/51] KVM: selftests: Verify MSRs are (not) in save/restore list when (un)supported
Posted by Sean Christopherson 1 week, 5 days ago
Add a check in the MSRs test to verify that KVM's reported support for
MSRs with feature bits is consistent between KVM's MSR save/restore lists
and KVM's supported CPUID.

To deal with Intel's wonderful decision to bundle IBT and SHSTK under CET,
track the "second" feature to avoid false failures when running on a CPU
with only one of IBT or SHSTK.

is this paragraph related to this patch? the tracking is done in a previous
patch instead of this patch. So maybe just drop this paragraph.

I am not sure why LM is mentioned here. Is it a leftover from one of your
previous attempts?

				  ^ an "in" is missing here.

The code change looks good. So,

Yeah, at one point I was using LM as the NONE feature.  I'll delete the entire
sentence.

Heh, I had added this in a local version when debugging, but forgot to push the
fix.  Added now.
