commit a72fdfd21e01c626273ddcf5ab740d4caef4be54 upstream.
Commit in Fixes changed the iopl emulation to not #GP on CLI and STI
because it would break some insane luserspace tools which would toggle
interrupts.
The corresponding selftest would rely on the fact that executing CLI/STI
would trigger a #GP and thus detect it this way but since that #GP is
not happening anymore, the detection is now wrong too.
Extend the test to actually look at the IF flag and whether executing
those insns had any effect on it. The STI detection needs to have the
fact that interrupts were previously disabled, passed in so do that from
the previous CLI test, i.e., STI test needs to follow a previous CLI one
for it to make sense.

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.
