A new self test that forces MSR[TS] to be set without calling any TM
instruction. This test also tries to cause a page fault at a signal
handler, exactly between MSR[TS] set and tm_recheckpoint(), forcing
thread->texasr to be rewritten with TEXASR[FS] = 0, which will cause a BUG
when tm_recheckpoint() is called.
This test is not deterministic, since it is hard to guarantee that the page
access will cause a page fault. In order to force more page faults at
signal context, the signal handler and the ucontext are being mapped into a
MADV_DONTNEED memory chunks.
Tests have shown that the bug could be exposed with few interactions in a
buggy kernel. This test is configured to loop 5000x, having a good chance
to hit the kernel issue in just one run. This self test takes less than
two seconds to run.
This test uses set/getcontext because the kernel will recheckpoint
zeroed structures, causing the test to segfault, which is undesired because
the test needs to rerun, so, there is a signal handler for SIGSEGV which
will restart the test.
v2: Uses the MADV_DONTNEED memory advice
v3: Fix memcpy and 32-bits compilation
v4: Does not define unused macros
