If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Andy Lutomirski [ Upstream commit d60ad744c9741586010d4bea286f09a063a90fbd ] Bits 19:16 of LAR's result are undefined, and some upcoming improvements to the test case seem to trigger this. Mask off those bits to avoid spurious failures. commit 5b781c7e317f ("x86/tls: Forcibly set the accessed bit in TLS segments") adds a valid case in which LAR's output doesn't quite agree with set_thread_area()'s input. This isn't triggered in the test as is, but it will be if we start calling set_thread_area() with the accessed bit clear. Work around this discrepency. I've added a Fixes tag so that -stable can pick this up if neccesary.
