[RFC PATCH 2/3] rseq: Introduce extensible rseq ABI

Mathieu Desnoyers
2022-02-03T19:39:08Z

Introduce the extensible rseq ABI, where the feature size supported by
the kernel and the required alignment are communicated to user-space
through ELF auxiliary vectors.

This allows user-space to call rseq registration with a rseq_len of
either 32 bytes for the original struct rseq size (which includes
padding), or larger.

If rseq_len is larger than 32 bytes, then it must be large enough to
contain the feature size communicated to user-space through ELF
auxiliary vectors.
