rseq/selftests: Fix namespace collision with rseq UAPI header

When the rseq UAPI header is included, 'union rseq' clashes with 'struct

selftests that also include this file.

Rename 'union rseq' to 'union rseq_tls' to fix this.

Adding the aligned(1024) attribute to the definition of __rseq_abi did

__rseq_abi it would need to be added to the declaration of 'struct

ensure registration will succeed with future extended ABI. Use a union
with a dummy member to ensure we allocate 1024 bytes.

selftests/rseq: Fix handling of glibc without rseq support

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")

selftests/rseq: Play nice with binaries statically linked against glibc 2.35+

To allow running rseq and KVM's rseq selftests as statically linked
binaries, initialize the various "trampoline" pointers to point directly
at the expect glibc symbols, and skip the dlysm() lookups if the rseq
size is non-zero, i.e. the binary is statically linked *and* the libc
registered its own rseq.

Define weak versions of the symbols so as not to break linking against
libc versions that don't support rseq in any capacity.

The KVM selftests in particular are often statically linked so that they
can be run on targets with very limited runtime environments, i.e. test
machines.

selftests/rseq: Fix: Fail thread registration when CONFIG_RSEQ=n

When linking the selftests against a libc which does not handle rseq
registration (before 2.35), rseq thread registration silently succeed
even with CONFIG_RSEQ=n because it erroneously thinks that libc is
handling rseq registration.

This is caused by setting the rseq ownership flag only after the
rseq_available() check. It should rather be set before the
rseq_available() check.

Set the rseq_size to 0 (error value) immediately after the
rseq_available() check fails rather than in the thread registration
functions.

selftests/rseq: Uplift rseq selftests for compatibility with glibc-2.35

glibc-2.35 (upcoming release date 2022-02-01) exposes the rseq per-thread
data in the TCB, accessible at an offset from the thread pointer, rather
than through an actual Thread-Local Storage (TLS) variable, as the
Linux kernel selftests initially expected.

The __rseq_abi TLS and glibc-2.35's ABI for per-thread data cannot
actively coexist in a process, because the kernel supports only a single
rseq registration per thread.

Here is the scheme introduced to ensure selftests can work both with an
older glibc and with glibc-2.35+:

- librseq exposes its own "rseq_offset, rseq_size, rseq_flags" ABI.

- librseq queries for glibc rseq ABI (__rseq_offset, __rseq_size,
__rseq_flags) using dlsym() in a librseq library constructor. If those
are found, copy their values into rseq_offset, rseq_size, and
rseq_flags.

- Else, if those glibc symbols are not found, handle rseq registration
from librseq and use its own IE-model TLS to implement the rseq ABI
per-thread storage.

Both glibc and librseq use their own copy of the Linux kernel uapi

rseq/selftests: Use __rseq_handled symbol to coexist with glibc

In order to integrate rseq into user-space applications, expose a
__rseq_handled symbol so many rseq users can be linked into the same
application (e.g. librseq and glibc).

The __rseq_refcount TLS variable is static to the librseq library. It
ensures that rseq syscall registration/unregistration happens only for
the most early/late caller to rseq_{,un}register_current_thread for each
thread, thus ensuring that rseq is registered across the lifetime of all
rseq users for a given thread.

rseq/selftests: Provide rseq library

This rseq helper library provides a user-space API to the rseq()
system call.

The rseq fast-path exposes the instruction pointer addresses where the
rseq assembly blocks begin and end, as well as the associated abort
instruction pointer, in the __rseq_table section. This section allows
debuggers may know where to place breakpoints when single-stepping
through assembly blocks which may be aborted at any point by the kernel.
