[PATCH v3 0/3] selftests/x86: AMX-related test improvements

From: Chang S. Bae
Date: Thu Mar 30 2023 - 19:48:26 EST


Dear maintainers,

Let me follow up on the last posting [5] with these two small changes:
* Clean up unused code in the AMX test.
* Fix the subsystem name in the patch1 subject.

Here is a summary of the included test code changes:

* With the STRICT_SIGALTSTACK_SIZE option [1,2], the kernel's altstack
check becomes stringent. The x86 sigaltstack test is ignorant about
this. Adjust the test. This check was established [3] to ensure
every AMX task's altstack is sufficient (regardless of that option)
[4].

* The AMX test wrongly fails on non-AMX machines. Fix the code to skip
the test instead.

* It also has some unused code. Remove them where at this.

The series is available in this repository:
git://github.com/intel/amx-linux.git selftest

Thanks,
Chang
