A glibc 2.34 feature adds support for variable MINSIGSTKSZ and SIGSTKSZ.
When _DYNAMIC_STACK_SIZE_SOURCE or _GNU_SOURCE are defined, MINSIGSTKSZ
and SIGSTKSZ are no longer constant on Linux. glibc 2.34 flags code paths
assuming MINSIGSTKSZ or SIGSTKSZ are constant. Fix these error in x86 test.

Feature description and build error:

NEWS for version 2.34
=====================
Major new features:
 * Add _SC_MINSIGSTKSZ and _SC_SIGSTKSZ.  When _DYNAMIC_STACK_SIZE_SOURCE
   or _GNU_SOURCE are defined, MINSIGSTKSZ and SIGSTKSZ are no longer
   constant on Linux.  MINSIGSTKSZ is redefined to sysconf(_SC_MINSIGSTKSZ)
   and SIGSTKSZ is redefined to sysconf (_SC_SIGSTKSZ).  This supports
   dynamic sized register sets for modern architectural features like
   Arm SVE.
=====================

If _SC_SIGSTKSZ_SOURCE or _GNU_SOURCE are defined, MINSIGSTKSZ and SIGSTKSZ
are redefined as:

/* Default stack size for a signal handler: sysconf (SC_SIGSTKSZ).  */
 # undef SIGSTKSZ
 # define SIGSTKSZ sysconf (_SC_SIGSTKSZ)

/* Minimum stack size for a signal handler: SIGSTKSZ.  */
 # undef MINSIGSTKSZ
 # define MINSIGSTKSZ SIGSTKSZ

Compilation will fail if the source assumes constant MINSIGSTKSZ or
SIGSTKSZ.

Build error with the GNU C Library 2.34:
DEBUG:	| sigreturn.c:150:13: error: variably modified 'altstack_data' at file scope
| sigreturn.c:150:13: error: variably modified 'altstack_data' at file scope

<title>selftests/x86/sigreturn/32: Invalidate DS and ES when abusing the kernel</title>

If the kernel accidentally uses DS or ES while the user values are
loaded, it will work fine for sane userspace.  In the interest of
simulating maximally insane userspace, make sigreturn_32 zero out DS
and ES for the nasty parts so that inadvertent use of these segments
will crash.

When I wrote the sigreturn test, I didn't realize that AMD's busted
IRET behavior was different from Intel's busted IRET behavior:

On AMD CPUs, the CPU leaks the high 32 bits of the kernel stack pointer
to certain userspace contexts.  Gee, thanks.  There's very little
the kernel can do about it.  Modify the test so it passes.

This is my sigreturn test, added mostly unchanged from its old
home. It exercises the sigreturn(2) syscall, specifically
focusing on its interactions with various IRET corner cases.

It tests for correct behavior in several areas that were
historically dangerously buggy. For example, it exercises espfix
on kernels of both bitnesses under various conditions, and it
contains testcases for several now-fixed bugs in IRET error
handling.

If you run it on older kernels without the fixes, your system will
crash. It probably won't eat your data in the process.

There is no released kernel on which the sigreturn_64 test will
pass, but it passes on tip:x86/asm.

I plan to switch to lib.mk for Linux 4.2.

I'm not using the ksft_ helpers at all yet.  I can do that later.
