Subject: [PATCH 6/6] selftests/mm: Add coredump test for x86
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2026 03:16:03 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261110031603.698635-7-chang.seok.bae@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261110031603.698635-1-chang.seok.bae@intel.com>
There is currently no test covering the coredump path for PKRU. Add one
by reusing the helpers from the x86 selftests.
Signed-off-by: Chang S. Bae <chang.seok.bae@intel.com>
---
Note: The test fails right now. So the fix [*] should get in first.
