KVM selftests embed the guest "image" as a function in the test itself and extract the guest code at runtime by manually parsing the elf headers. The parsing is very simple and doesn't supporting fancy things like position independent executables. Recent versions of gcc enable pie by default, which results in triple fault shutdowns in the guest due to the virtual address in the headers not matching up with the virtual address retrieved from the function pointer.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
