Chang S. Bae 101c669d16 selftests/x86/amx: Add context switch test
XSAVE state is thread-local.  The kernel switches between thread
state at context switch time.  Generally, running a selftest for
a while will naturally expose it to some context switching and
and will test the XSAVE code.

Instead of just hoping that the tests get context-switched at
random times, force context-switches on purpose.  Spawn off a few
userspace threads and force context-switches between them.
Ensure that the kernel correctly context switches each thread's
unique AMX state.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
