[PATCH 4/4] selftests/x86: Add a consistency test for signal frames

Andrei Vagin <[email protected]> Thu, 4 Jun 2026 16:56:04 +0000
Newsgroups dev.linux.lists.criu,org.kernel.vger.linux-kernel
Message-ID <[email protected]>
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.
