    selftests/x86: Add test_vsyscall · 352909b4
    Andy Lutomirski authored
    This tests that the vsyscall entries do what they're expected to do.
    It also confirms that attempts to read the vsyscall page behave as
    expected.
    
    If changes are made to the vsyscall code or its memory map handling,
    running this test in all three of vsyscall=none, vsyscall=emulate,
    and vsyscall=native are helpful.
    
    (Because it's easy, this also compares the vsyscall results to their
     vDSO equivalents.)
    
    Note to KAISER backporters: please test this under all three
    vsyscall modes.  Also, in the emulate and native modes, make sure
    that test_vsyscall_64 agrees with the command line or config
    option as to which mode you're in.  It's quite easy to mess up
    the kernel such that native mode accidentally emulates
    or vice versa.
    
    Greg, etc: please backport this to all your Meltdown-patched
    kernels.  It'll help make sure the patches didn't regress
    vsyscalls.
