Subject: kselftest/arm64: Add tests for POR_EL0 save/reset/restore
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f2db075234c870b4c10673445d8b3fbf19d799cb;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git

kselftest/arm64: Add tests for POR_EL0 save/reset/restore

POR_EL0 is expected to be:
- Saved in the poe_context record
- Reset to POR_EL0_INIT when invoking the signal handler
- Restored from poe_context when returning from the signal handler

Add a new test, poe_restore, to check that the save/reset/restore
mechanism is working as intended. See commit 2e8a1acea859 ("arm64:
signal: Improve POR_EL0 handling to avoid uaccess failures") for
more details.

This commit did not handle the case where poe_context is missing
correctly. This was recently fixed; add a new test,
poe_missing_poe_context, to check this case.

Note: td->pass is only set to true at the very end, as an unexpected
signal may occur in case of failure (especially in
poe_missing_poe_context if POR_EL0 is restored to an invalid value).
Failures are tracked with a global, failed_check.
