Subject: [RFC PATCH for 5.2 10/10] rseq/selftests: mips: use break instruction for RSEQ_SIG
Date:   Wed, 24 Apr 2019 11:25:02 -0400
Message-Id: <20190424152502.14246-11-mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com>
In-Reply-To: <20190424152502.14246-1-mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com>
References: <20190424152502.14246-1-mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

Use break as guard instruction for the restartable sequence abort
handler.

Previously, the chosen signature was simply data, based on the
assumption that it could always sit in a literal pool. However,
some compilation environments favor disabling literal pool. Therefore,
ensure the signature is a valid uncommon trap instruction.
