Subject: [PATCH 01/30] selftests/rseq: Fix: Fail thread registration when CONFIG_RSEQ=n
Date: Tue, 22 Nov 2022 15:39:03 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221122203932.231377-2-mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20221122203932.231377-1-mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com>

When linking the selftests against a libc which does not handle rseq
registration (before 2.35),  rseq thread registration silently succeed
even with CONFIG_RSEQ=n because it erroneously thinks that libc is
handling rseq registration.

This is caused by setting the rseq ownership flag only after the
rseq_available() check. It should rather be set before the
rseq_available() check.

Set the rseq_size to 0 (error value) immediately after the
rseq_available() check fails rather than in the thread registration
functions.
