[PATCH v13 14/22] KVM: selftests: Expose function to allocate vCPU stack

From: Lisa Wang

Date: Thu May 21 2026 - 19:28:22 EST


From: Sagi Shahar <sagis@xxxxxxxxxx>

Introduce kvm_allocate_vcpu_stack() to allocate a vCPU's stack
in preparation for TDX to allocate a vCPU's stack and initialize
its stack pointer.

TDX VMs' registers are protected state and cannot be initialized
using the KVM_SET_REGS ioctl() that is used for normal VMs. A TDX
vCPU's stack address will be a property of the TDX specific boot code
that initializes the vCPUs' stack pointers at boot.
