From: jinrui <[email protected]> When the cross-compiler defaults to an -march that includes the V (vector) extension, -O2 auto-vectorization generates vector instructions (e.g. vsetvli, vadd.vv) in Guest binary code. If the Guest executes a vector instruction while sstatus.VS is Off, an EXC_INST_ILLEGAL (scause=2) is raised. KVM's hedeleg delegates this exception to the Guest, but the selftest has no way to handle it as a bare-metal program, causing all Guest tests to fail.
In contrast, a real OS kernel handles this via riscv_v_first_use_handler(), which detects the vector instruction, sets sstatus.VS to Initial, and srets to re-execute. Fix this with four changes in processor.c: 1. Delete the now-unused guest_unexp_trap() handler, which is replaced by the full exception vector table. 2. In vm_arch_vcpu_add(), notify KVM that the Guest is allowed to use the V extension via __vcpu_set_reg(V, 1) (best-effort, silently ignores errors on hardware without V). Also replace the raw stvec handler with the full exception vector table, which provides save_context/restore_context for safe lazy enablement. 3. In route_exception(), add a lazy V enablement check that runs before any test-registered handler. When the cause is a non-IRQ EXC_INST_ILLEGAL and sstatus.VS is Off, set VS to Initial and return so the faulting instruction is re-executed via sret. 4. Make vm_init_vector_tables() idempotent by checking vm->handlers before allocation, so tests that manually call it (ebreak_test, arch_timer, sbi_pmu_test) do not leak memory. The check runs before test-registered EXC_INST_ILLEGAL handlers (e.g. sbi_pmu_test) to ensure V enablement takes priority. Tested on a riscv64 host with KVM enabled: all 12 KVM selftest binaries pass.
