[ Upstream commitb89732c8c8] Successful syscalls don't change errno, so checking errno is wrong to ensure that a syscall has failed. For example for the following sequence: prctl(PR_SET_SYSCALL_USER_DISPATCH, op, 0x0, 0xff, 0); EXPECT_EQ(EINVAL, errno); prctl(PR_SET_SYSCALL_USER_DISPATCH, op, 0x0, 0x0, &sel); EXPECT_EQ(EINVAL, errno); only the first syscall may fail and set errno, but the second may succeed and keep errno intact, and the check will falsely pass. Or if errno happened to be EINVAL before, even the first check may falsely pass. Also use EXPECT/ASSERT consistently. Currently there is an inconsistent mix without obvious reasons for usage of one or another.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
