Messages in this thread Patch in this message | | | From | Ammar Faizi <> | Subject | [RFC PATCH v2 2/2] selftests/x86: sysret_rip: Add more syscall tests with respect to `%rcx` and `%r11` | Date | Tue, 24 Jan 2023 09:27:29 +0700 |
| |
From: Ammar Faizi <ammarfaizi2@gnuweeb.org>
Test that:
- "syscall" in a FRED system doesn't clobber %rcx and %r11. - "syscall" in a non-FRED system sets %rcx=%rip and %r11=%rflags.
Test them out with a trivial system call like __NR_getppid and friends which are extremely likely to return with SYSRET on an IDT system; check that it returns a nonnegative value and then save the result.
