2019-05-07	rseq/selftests: Use __rseq_handled symbol to coexist with glibc	Mathieu Desnoyers	1	-8/+47
	In order to integrate rseq into user-space applications, expose a __rseq_handled symbol so many rseq users can be linked into the same application (e.g. librseq and glibc). The __rseq_refcount TLS variable is static to the librseq library. It ensures that rseq syscall registration/unregistration happens only for the most early/late caller to rseq_{,un}register_current_thread for each thread, thus ensuring that rseq is registered across the lifetime of all rseq users for a given thread.

2018-06-06	rseq/selftests: Provide rseq library	Mathieu Desnoyers	1	-0/+117
	This rseq helper library provides a user-space API to the rseq() system call. The rseq fast-path exposes the instruction pointer addresses where the rseq assembly blocks begin and end, as well as the associated abort instruction pointer, in the __rseq_table section. This section allows debuggers may know where to place breakpoints when single-stepping through assembly blocks which may be aborted at any point by the kernel.
