[PATCH v2 0/6] kselftest/arm64: Test floating point signal context restore in fp-stress

Currently we test signal delivery to the programs run by fp-stress but
our signal handlers simply count the number of signals seen and don't do
anything with the floating point state.  The original fpsimd-test and
sve-test programs had signal handlers called irritators which modify the
live register state, verifying that we restore the signal context on
return, but a combination of misleading comments and code resulted in
them never being used and the equivalent handlers in the other tests
being stubbed or omitted.

Clarify the code, implement effective irritator handlers for the test
programs that can have them and then switch the signals generated by the
fp-stress program over to use the irritators, ensuring that we validate
that we restore the saved signal context properly.
