[PATCH v2 4/6] kselftest/arm64: Implement irritators for ZA and ZT

Mark Brown broonie at kernel.org
Wed Nov 6 17:39:23 PST 2024


Currently we don't use the irritator signal in our floating point stress
tests so when we added ZA and ZT stress tests we didn't actually bother
implementing any actual action in the handlers, we just counted the signal
deliveries. In preparation for using the irritators let's implement them,
just trivially SMSTOP and SMSTART to reset all bits in the register to 0.
