Those rseq selftests updates are hereby submitted to Shuah Khan,
maintainer of kernel selftests, for the next merge window (5.2).

They change the per-architecture pre-abort signatures to ensure those
are valid trap instructions.

The way exit points are presented to debuggers is enhanced, ensuring
all exit points are present, so debuggers don't have to disassemble
rseq critical section to properly skip over them.

Discussions with the glibc community is reaching a concensus of exposing
a __rseq_handled symbol from glibc to coexist with rseq early adopters.
Update the rseq selftest code to expose and use this symbol.

Support for compiling asm goto with clang is added with the
"-no-integrated-as" compiler switch, similarly to the toplevel kernel
Makefile.

Hi Shuah,

Is there anything else you need before you can pick up those patches ?


I was going to say "no more work needed" and noticed that the series has
checkpatch errors and warns as I was running the series through
pre-commit tests.

Patches 1,2,3,8 have errors/warns based
on quick look at the log.


ERROR: need consistent spacing around '%' (ctx:WxV)
#227: FILE: tools/testing/selftests/rseq/rseq-x86.h:104:
+ RSEQ_ASM_CMP_CPU_ID(cpu_id, RSEQ_CPU_ID_OFFSET(%[rseq_abi]), %l[error1])


Will you be able to fix them and resend?

thanks,
