Subject: [PATCH 4/4] selftests/x86: Add a consistency test for signal frames
Date: Thu, 4 Jun 2026 16:56:04 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260604165604.1195243-5-avagin@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260604165604.1195243-1-avagin@google.com>
Extend sigframe_portability test to include a consistency check. Verify
that the kernel correctly rejects signal frames where the xstate_size is
too small for the enabled features in the xfeatures mask.
