This patch adds a new test for the new PTRACE_SYSEMU ptrace request. This test also relies on PTRACE_GETREGS and PTRACE_SETREGS requests to run properly, since the trace instruction (gettid() syscall) is being modified at run-time (by PTRACE_SETREGS) and re-executed three times. PTRACE_GETREGS is being used to check that the registers are still sane. This test basically creates a child process that executes syscalls and the parent process check if it is being traced appropriately. The parent process guarantees that the SYSCALLs are being traced, with PTRACE_SYSEMU, and ptrace stops the child application before a syscall is executed. The way the tests validates it, is by guaranteeing that the system calls arguments, as argv[0] (r3) which is the same register that will have the syscall return value on powerpc, are not being corrupted on PTRACE_SYSEMU with a return value, i.e, it continues to have the current arguments instead, meaning that the registers where not clobbered. This test is basically the same test for x86 located at tools/testing/selftests/x86/ptrace_syscall.c, limited to test PTRACE_SYSEMU request, and ported to PowerPC.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
