Mathieu Desnoyers bab3e9f342 selftests/rseq: Fix handling of glibc without rseq support
commit 336d02bc4c6bec5c3d933e5d470a94970f830957 upstream.

When porting librseq commit:

commit c7b45750fa85 ("Adapt to glibc __rseq_size feature detection")

from librseq to the kernel selftests, the following line was missed
at the end of rseq_init():

  rseq_size = get_rseq_kernel_feature_size();

which effectively leaves rseq_size initialized to -1U when glibc does not
have rseq support. glibc supports rseq from version 2.35 onwards.

In a following librseq commit

commit c67d198627c2 ("Only set 'rseq_size' on first thread registration")

to mimic the libc behavior, a new approach is taken: don't set the
feature size in 'rseq_size' until at least one thread has successfully
registered. This allows using 'rseq_size' in fast-paths to test for both
registration status and available features. The caveat is that on libc
either all threads are registered or none are, while with bare librseq
it is the responsability of the user to register all threads using rseq.

This combines the changes from the following librseq git commits:

commit c7b45750fa85 ("Adapt to glibc __rseq_size feature detection")
commit c67d198627c2 ("Only set 'rseq_size' on first thread registration")

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.

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.
