If rt_sigreturn() is preempted or sleeps on a page fault while it copies
the FP registers from the signal frame, the interrupted code resumes
with the signal handler's FP registers. Patch 1 fixes this, patch 2 adds
a selftest that reproduces it with userfaultfd.
Tested under QEMU with riscv64 defconfig plus CONFIG_USERFAULTFD: the
new test fails 10 of 10 runs on master, with preempt=lazy and
preempt=none, and passes 10 of 10 with patch 1, also on top of Guobin
Zhang's "riscv: signal: protect regs->status RMW from concurrent
preemption" v2 [1]; the two apply in either order.
This series was prepared with the help of an AI tool.
Changes in v2:
- Disable preemption around __fstate_clean() (Andy Chiu)
- Add a selftest (Andy Chiu)
- Shorten the commit message

If rt_sigreturn() is preempted or sleeps on a page fault while it copies
the FP registers from the signal frame, the interrupted code resumes
with the signal handler's FP registers instead of its own.
restore_fp_state() copies the frame into current->thread.fstate and then
loads it with fstate_restore(). If the handler used the FPU, FS is still
Dirty during the copy, so a context switch makes fstate_save() store the
live registers, the handler's, over the partly copied image.
Mark the FP state clean before the copy, as commit c27fa53b858b ("riscv:
Fix vector state restore in rt_sigreturn()") did for the vector state.
Preemption is disabled around it because the scheduler also writes
regs->status.
Fixes: e2c0cdfba7f6 ("RISC-V: User-facing API")

Add a test for the previous patch: the signal frame sits on a
userfaultfd page that the handler drops after dirtying the FP
registers, so rt_sigreturn() sleeps in the middle of copying the FP
registers from the frame. The interrupted code must get its own
registers back.
The test is skipped without the D extension or when userfaultfd is not
available to the caller.
