    selftests/x86: Test __kernel_sigreturn and __kernel_rt_sigreturn · 65cacec1

    The vdso-based sigreturn mechanism is fragile and isn't used by
    modern glibc so, if we break it, we'll only notice when someone
    tests an unusual libc.
    
    Add an explicit selftest.
    
    [ I wrote this while debugging a Bionic breakage -- my first guess
      was that I had somehow messed up sigreturn.  I've caused problems in
      that code before, and it's really easy to fail to notice it because
      there's nothing on a modern distro that needs vdso-based sigreturn. ]
