[PATCH v2 06/20] selftests/powerpc: Check for VSX preservation across userspace preemption

Cyril Bur cyrilbur at gmail.com
Fri Aug 12 09:28:05 AEST 2016


Ensure the kernel correctly switches VSX registers correctly. VSX
registers are all volatile, and despite the kernel preserving VSX
across syscalls, it doesn't have to. Test that during interrupts and
timeslices ending the VSX regs remain the same.
