Subject: [PATCH v1 1/2] selftests/x86/ldt_gdt: Skip int80 if not supported
Date: Wed, 17 Dec 2025 13:59:31 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251217135932.3153847-2-srosek@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251217135932.3153847-1-srosek@google.com>
The IA32 Emulation support can be either removed from the kernel,
disabled by default or disabled at runtime. The x86/ldt_gdt selftest
crashes for all of above thus is_32bit_syscall_supported() helper
is added to skip int80 syscalls if they are not supported.
