[PATCH v3 4/4] selftests: riscv: extend vector tests for sigreturn and ptrace

Thu May 21 09:25:20 PDT 2026


Add new test cases to verify the vector state restorations at syscall
stops for ptrace and signal interfaces. Specifically:
1. Signal handler should read all ones at syscall stop and modifying
   context should success.
2. Ptrace should read all ones but any modification to NT_RISCV_VECTOR
   is silently dropped.
