Subject: [PATCH 2/2] selftest/x86: test ARCH_SHSTK_UNLOCK
Date: Mon, 15 Jun 2026 14:51:55 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260615195156.257950-2-bill.roberts@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260615195156.257950-1-bill.roberts@arm.com>
One should not be able to use ARCH_SHSTK_UNLOCK via arch_prctl to twiddle
feature bits, test that this is the case.
