2025-02-26selftests/x86: Consolidate redundant signal helper functionsChang S. Bae
The x86 selftests frequently register and clean up signal handlers, but the sethandler() and clearhandler() functions have been redundantly copied across multiple .c files. Move these functions to helpers.h to enable reuse across tests, eliminating around 250 lines of duplicate code. Converge the error handling by using ksft_exit_fail_msg(), which is functionally equivalent with err() within the selftest framework. This change is a prerequisite for the upcoming xstate selftest, which requires signal handling for registering and cleaning up handlers. Signed-off-by: Chang S.

2021-01-12selftests/x86: Use __builtin_ia32_read/writeeflagsAndy Lutomirski
The asm to read and write EFLAGS from userspace is horrible. The compiler builtins are now available on all supported compilers, so use them instead. (The compiler builtins are also unnecessarily ugly, but that's a more manageable level of ugliness.)

2020-07-01selftests/x86: Consolidate and fix get/set_eflags() helpersAndy Lutomirski
There are several copies of get_eflags() and set_eflags() and they all are buggy. Consolidate them and fix them. The fixes are: Add memory clobbers. These are probably unnecessary but they make sure that the compiler doesn't move something past one of these calls when it shouldn't. Respect the redzone on x86_64. There has no failure been observed related to this, but it's definitely a bug.
