2016-01-13selftests/x86: Test __kernel_sigreturn and __kernel_rt_sigreturnAndy Lutomirski1-0/+88
The vdso-based sigreturn mechanism is fragile and isn't used by modern glibc so, if we break it, we'll only notice when someone tests an unusual libc. Add an explicit selftest. [ I wrote this while debugging a Bionic breakage -- my first guess was that I had somehow messed up sigreturn. I've caused problems in that code before, and it's really easy to fail to notice it because there's nothing on a modern distro that needs vdso-based sigreturn. ] Signed-off-by: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> Cc: Brian Gerst <brgerst@gmail.com> Cc: Denys Vlasenko <dvlasenk@redhat.com> Cc: H.
