H A D | vdso_restorer.c | 65cacec1 Tue Jan 12 13:56:15 CST 2016 Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org> selftests/x86: Test __kernel_sigreturn and __kernel_rt_sigreturn
The vdso-based sigreturn mechanism is fragile and isn't used by modern glibc so, if we break it, we'll only notice when someone tests an unusual libc.
Add an explicit selftest.
[ I wrote this while debugging a Bionic breakage -- my first guess was that I had somehow messed up sigreturn. I've caused problems in that code before, and it's really easy to fail to notice it because there's nothing on a modern distro that needs vdso-based sigreturn. ]
