[PATCH 08/10] selftests/x86: Add a sigframe insufficient xstate_size test

From: Andrei Vagin

Date: Mon Jun 15 2026 - 15:42:06 EST


Extend sigframe_fpu_portability to include an insufficient xstate_size
check (test_insufficient_xstate_size). Verify that the kernel correctly
rejects signal frames where the xstate_size is too small for the enabled
features in the xfeatures mask.
