Subject: [PATCH 2/3] selftests/x86: test shadow stack sigreturn protection
Date: Thu,  8 Oct 2026 20:16:09 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261008201610.1003569-3-ripatel@wii.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261008201610.1003569-1-ripatel@wii.dev>

Check that a crafted signal frame return address (rip) is rejected
by rt_sigreturn when shadow stack is enabled. Test both 'syscall'
and 'int $0x80' (CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION) with and without SHSTK.
