    rseq/selftests: Provide rseq library · 2e155fb7
    Mathieu Desnoyers authored
    This rseq helper library provides a user-space API to the rseq()
    system call.
    
    The rseq fast-path exposes the instruction pointer addresses where the
    rseq assembly blocks begin and end, as well as the associated abort
    instruction pointer, in the __rseq_table section. This section allows
    debuggers may know where to place breakpoints when single-stepping
    through assembly blocks which may be aborted at any point by the kernel.
