[PATCH 0/2] selftests/x86: AMX-related test improvements

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



A couple of test updates are included:

* With this option [1,2], the kernel's altstack check becomes stringent.
  The x86 sigaltstack test is ignorant about this. Adjust the test now. 
  This check was established [3] to ensure every AMX task's altstack is 
  sufficient (regardless of that option) [4].

* The AMX test wrongly fails on non-AMX machines. Fix the code to skip the
  test instead.

The series is available in this repository:
