Hi Greg, Specifically related to rseq selftests, the following string of commits would be relevant on top of v5.4.199. Those are not all strictly only bugfixes, but they help applying the following commits without conflicts. I have validated that this string of commits cherry-picks on top of v5.4.199, and that the resulting selftests build fine. ea366dd79c ("seq/selftests,x86_64: Add rseq_offset_deref_addv()") 07ad4f7629 ("selftests/rseq: remove ARRAY_SIZE define from individual tests") 5c105d55a9 ("selftests/rseq: introduce own copy of rseq uapi header") 930378d056 ("selftests/rseq: Remove useless assignment to cpu variable") 94b80a19eb ("selftests/rseq: Remove volatile from __rseq_abi") e546cd48cc ("selftests/rseq: Introduce rseq_get_abi() helper") 886ddfba93 ("selftests/rseq: Introduce thread pointer getters") 233e667e1a ("selftests/rseq: Uplift rseq selftests for compatibility with glibc-2.35") 24d1136a29 ("selftests/rseq: Fix ppc32: wrong rseq_cs 32-bit field pointer on big endian") de6b52a214 ("selftests/rseq: Fix ppc32 missing instruction selection "u" and "x" for load/store") 26dc8a6d8e ("selftests/rseq: Fix ppc32 offsets by using long rather than off_t") d7ed99ade3 ("selftests/rseq: Fix warnings about #if checks of undefined tokens") 94c5cf2a0e ("selftests/rseq: Remove arm/mips asm goto compiler work-around") b53823fb2e ("selftests/rseq: Fix: work-around asm goto compiler bugs") 4e15bb766b ("selftests/rseq: x86-64: use %fs segment selector for accessing rseq thread area") 127b6429d2 ("selftests/rseq: x86-32: use %gs segment selector for accessing rseq thread area") 889c5d60fb ("selftests/rseq: Change type of rseq_offset to ptrdiff_t") There is also this patch (currently in -tip, not in the master branch yet) which is relevant for the case where a glibc-2.35 (or a glibc-2.34 with backported rseq support) ends up being built against kernel headers that do not have rseq support: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20220614154830.1367382-4-mjeanson@xxxxxxxxxxxx/ Thanks, Mathieu -- Mathieu Desnoyers EfficiOS Inc. http://www.efficios.com
