[PATCH 0/1] rseq/selftests: add __rseq_abi misalignment check

From: Vasily Gorbik

While implementing rseq selftest for s390 a glibc problem with tls
variables alignment has been discovered. It turned out to be a general
problem affecting several architectures. The bug opened for this problem:

https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23403

There is no fix yet. On s390 __rseq_abi ends up aligned to 0x10 instead
of 0x20 which makes rseq selftest fail every time.

The change proposed adds __rseq_abi misalignment check, produces user
friendly message and skips the test.
