[RESEND RFC PATCH v8 3/3] selftests/x86: sysret_rip: Test SYSRET with a signal handler

[Ammar Faizi]

The current test_sigreturn_to() goes to the slow-path syscall with
IRET due to non-canonical addresses. It uses the SIGUSR1 signal to
perform the test.

Add a similar test that goes to the SYSRET path instead of IRET using
the SIGUSR2 signal. There are two cases:

  A) 'syscall' in a FRED system preserves %rcx and %r11.

  B) 'syscall' in a non-FRED system sets %rcx=%rip and %r11=%rflags.

The __raise(SIGUSR2) call verifies the 'syscall' behavior consistency
when dealing with a signal handler. It must always be (A) or always be
(B). Not a mix of them.
