KVM: selftests: Add logic to detect if ioctl() failed because VM was killed
Add yet another macro to the VM/vCPU ioctl() framework to detect when an ioctl() failed because KVM killed/bugged the VM, i.e. when there was nothing wrong with the ioctl() itself. If KVM kills a VM, e.g. by way of a failed KVM_BUG_ON(), all subsequent VM and vCPU ioctl()s will fail with -EIO, which can be quite misleading and ultimately waste user/developer time. Use KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION on KVM_CAP_USER_MEMORY to detect if the VM is dead and/or bug, as KVM doesn't provide a dedicated ioctl(). Using a heuristic is obviously less than ideal, but practically speaking the logic is bulletproof barring a KVM change, and any such change would arguably break userspace, e.g. if KVM returns something other than -EIO. Without the detection, tearing down a bugged VM yields a cryptic failure when deleting memslots: ==== Test Assertion Failure ==== lib/kvm_util.c:689: !ret pid=45131 tid=45131 errno=5 - Input/output error 1 0x00000000004036c3: __vm_mem_region_delete at kvm_util.c:689 2 0x00000000004042f0: kvm_vm_free at kvm_util.c:724 (discriminator 12) 3 0x0000000000402929: race_sync_regs at sync_regs_test.c:193 4 0x0000000000401cab: main at sync_regs_test.c:334 (discriminator 6) 5 0x0000000000416f13: __libc_start_call_main at libc-start.o:? 6 0x000000000041855f: __libc_start_main_impl at ??:? 7 0x0000000000401d40: _start at ??:? KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION failed, rc: -1 errno: 5 (Input/output error) Which morphs into a more pointed error message with the detection: ==== Test Assertion Failure ==== lib/kvm_util.c:689: false pid=80347 tid=80347 errno=5 - Input/output error 1 0x00000000004039ab: __vm_mem_region_delete at kvm_util.c:689 (discriminator 5) 2 0x0000000000404660: kvm_vm_free at kvm_util.c:724 (discriminator 12) 3 0x0000000000402ac9: race_sync_regs at sync_regs_test.c:193 4 0x0000000000401cb7: main at sync_regs_test.c:334 (discriminator 6) 5 0x0000000000418263: __libc_start_call_main at libc-start.o:? 6 0x00000000004198af: __libc_start_main_impl at ??:? 7 0x0000000000401d90: _start at ??:?
