[RFC PATCH v7 2/3] selftests/x86: sysret_rip: Add more syscall tests with respect to `%rcx` and `%r11`

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

 



From: Ammar Faizi <ammarfaizi2@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Test that:

  - REGS_SAVED: "syscall" in a FRED system doesn't clobber %rcx and
    %r11.

  - REGS_SYSRET: "syscall" in a non-FRED system sets %rcx=%rip and
    %r11=%rflags.

Test them out with trivial system calls like __NR_getppid and friends
which are extremely likely to return with SYSRET on an IDT system.

Goals of this test:

  - Ensure that the syscall behavior is consistent. It must be either
    always REGS_SAVED or always REGS_SYSRET. Not a mix of them.

  - The kernel doesn't leak its internal data when returning to
    userspace.
