[ Upstream commit 7015843afcaf68c132784c89528dfddc0005e483 ]
Alexei reported that send_signal test may fail with nested CONFIG_PARAVIRT configs. In this particular case, the base VM is AMD with 166 cpus, and I run selftests with regular qemu on top of that and indeed send_signal test failed. I also tried with an Intel box with 80 cpus and there is no issue.
The main qemu command line includes:
-enable-kvm -smp 16 -cpu host
The failure log looks like:

In the test, two processes are communicating through pipe. Further debugging with strace found that the above splat is triggered as read() syscall could not receive the data even if the corresponding write() syscall in another process successfully wrote data into the pipe.
The failed subtest is "send_signal_perf". The corresponding perf event has sample_period 1 and config PERF_COUNT_SW_CPU_CLOCK. sample_period 1 means every overflow event will trigger a call to the BPF program. So I suspect this may overwhelm the system. So I increased the sample_period to 100,000 and the test passed. The sample_period 10,000 still has the test failed.
In other parts of selftest, e.g., [1], sample_freq is used instead. So I decided to use sample_freq = 1,000 since the test can pass as well.
