[PATCH] selftests/rseq: Add config fragment

From: Mark Brown

Date: Thu Apr 23 2026 - 19:16:51 EST


Currently we do not provide a config fragment for the rseq selftests but
there are several options which are either required or helpful for
running them:

- CONFIG_RSEQ is required for obvious reasons, it is enabled by default
but it doesn't hurt to specify it in case the user is usinsg a
defconfig that disables it.

- CONFIG_RSEQ_DEBUG_DEFAULT_ENABLE turns on runtime debug checks which
would for example have helped spot some of the recent issues we've
seen on arm64:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/87zf2u28d1.ffs@tglx/

- CONFIG_DEBUG_RSEQ enables debugging on configurations that don't have
generic entry support.

- CONFIG_RSEQ_SLICE_EXTENSION is tested by the slice_test test, the
test will fail without it.

Add a configuration fragment which enables these options, helping
encourage CI systems and people doing manual testing to run the tests
with all the features and additional checks. We also enable
CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL and CONFIG_EXPERT which are dependencies for these
options.
