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. [ dhansen: bunches of cleanups ] Signed-off-by: Chang S.

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.
