92dd8dd4d0 selftests: move prctl tests from Documentation/prctl
Move prctl tests from Documentation/prctl to selftests/prctl.

Remove prctl from Makefile to move the test. Update prctl Makefile to work
under selftests. prctl will not be run as part of selftests suite and will
not be included in install targets. They can be built separately for now.

f0cd147e61 Documentation: Fix int/unsigned int comparison
Signed int - unsigned int comparison fixed in mpssd, prctl, ptp, and
timers in Documentation. In places where 'int argc' and 'const char
**argv' are not used, they are replaced with void

Documentation/mic/mpssd/mpssd.c: Fixed comparison in sum_iovec_len and
disp_iovec

Documentation/prctl/disable-tsc-ctxt-sw-stress-test.c: main signature
changed to void, as parameters 'argc' and 'argv' are never used

Documentation/prctl/disable-tsc-on-off-stress-test.c: main signature
changed to void

Documentation/prctl/disable-tsc-test.c: main signature changed to void

Documentation/ptp/testptp.c: Sign comparison fix
Documentation/timers/hpet_example.c: Sign comparision fix

f59514b6a8 Documentation/prctl: don't build tsc tests when cross compiling
The following was seen in linux-next build coverage, which is somewhat
unique since it uses powerpc host to cross compile x86:

Documentation/prctl/disable-tsc-on-off-stress-test.c:36:1: error:
 impossible register constraint in 'asm'
Documentation/prctl/disable-tsc-ctxt-sw-stress-test.c:34:1: error:
 impossible register constraint in 'asm'
Documentation/prctl/disable-tsc-test.c:36:1: error: impossible
 register constraint in 'asm'

It probably makes sense to just skip building these tests when
we are cross compiling.

371aedbfbb Documentation: Restrict TSC test code to x86
The prctl test code in Documentation/ tries to show how to
use a call that only makes sense on x86. Restrict it there
so that other platforms don't try to call asm("rdtsc").

87b526d349 seccomp: Make syscall skipping and nr changes more consistent
This fixes two issues that could cause incompatibility between
kernel versions:

 - If a tracer uses SECCOMP_RET_TRACE to select a syscall number
   higher than the largest known syscall, emulate the unknown
   vsyscall by returning -ENOSYS.  (This is unlikely to make a
   noticeable difference on x86-64 due to the way the system call
   entry works.)

 - On x86-64 with vsyscall=emulate, skipped vsyscalls were buggy.

This updates the documentation accordingly.

c540521bba security: Minor improvements to no_new_privs documentation
The documentation didn't actually mention how to enable no_new_privs.
This also adds a note about possible interactions between
no_new_privs and LSMs (i.e. why teaching systemd to set no_new_privs
is not necessarily a good idea), and it references the new docs
from include/linux/prctl.h.

f132697326 generic, x86: add tests for prctl PR_GET_TSC and PR_SET_TSC
This patch adds three tests that test whether the PR_GET_TSC and
PR_SET_TSC commands have the desirable effect.

The tests check whether the control register is updated correctly
at context switches and try to discover bugs while enabling/disabling
the timestamp counter.
