Yes, user-space signal() may be the right direction, we just need to let
user-space not crash the kernel, what about this 'solution' for current stage
(consider the pure time64 support too):

    #if defined(NOLIBC) && defined(__NR_gettimeofday) && __SIZEOF_LONG__ == 8
		CASE_TEST(gettimeofday_bad1); EXPECT_SYSER(1, gettimeofday((void *)1, NULL), -1, EFAULT); break;
		CASE_TEST(gettimeofday_bad2); EXPECT_SYSER(1, gettimeofday(NULL, (void *)1), -1, EFAULT); break;
    #endif

This idea is from your commit 1da02f51088 ("selftests/nolibc: support glibc as
well") for glibc, but the difference is of course glibc not crashes the kernel.

Btw, since the gettimeofday_null case may be optimized by compiler and not
trigger such errors:

    // rv32
    nolibc-test.c:(.text.run_syscall+0x8c0): undefined reference to `__divdi3'

    // arm32
    nolibc-test.c:(.text.run_syscall+0x820): undefined reference to `__aeabi_ldivmod'

The above errors have been hidden after the disabling of the gettimeofday_bad1
test case, so, still need to solve it before sending v2.

The method used by musl may work, but the high bits may be lost (from long long
to int)?
 
	tv->tv_usec = (int)ts.tv_nsec / 1000;

Perhaps we really need to add the missing __divdi3 and __aeabi_ldivmod and the
ones for the other architectures, or get one from lib/math/div64.c.

Will add such new test cases to detect the above issues:

    CASE_TEST(gettimeofday_tv);   EXPECT_SYSZR(1, gettimeofday(&tv, NULL)); break;
    CASE_TEST(gettimeofday_tz);   EXPECT_SYSZR(1, gettimeofday(NULL, &tz)); break;
    CASE_TEST(gettimeofday_tv_tz);EXPECT_SYSZR(1, gettimeofday(&tv, &tz)); break;

May still require to add 'used' attribute to 'struct timeval tv' and 'struct
timeval tz' to let compiler not optimize them away.

For the waitid syscall based waitpid INT_MIN test case, I have prepared such
code:

    #define IF_TEST(name) \
    	if (strcmp(test, #name) == 0)

    const int _errorno(const char *test)
    {
    #ifdef __NR_wait4
    	IF_TEST(waitpid_min); return ESRCH;
    #else /* __NR_waitid */
    	IF_TEST(waitpid_min); return EINVAL;
    #endif
    	return 0;
    }

    #define errorno(test) _errorno(#test)

    CASE_TEST(waitpid_min);       EXPECT_SYSER(1, waitpid(INT_MIN, &tmp, WNOHANG), -1, errorno(waitpid_min)); break;

Instead of simply disabling this case, the above code allows to return
different values for different syscalls.

is a standalone errorno_waitpid_min() better? I just want to let future test
cases share some code, but it may be slower ;-)

Thanks very much and I have seen another two have been pushed too, will rebase
everything on this new branch.

Based on the other suggestions from you and Thomas, I plan to send some generic
and independent changes at first, and then the left hard parts, It may simplify
the whole progress.
