Jason A. Donenfeld 2aec90036d selftests: vDSO: ensure vgetrandom works in a time namespace
After verifying that vDSO getrandom does work, which ensures that the
RNG is initialized, test to see if it also works inside of a time
namespace. This is important to test, because the vvar pages get
swizzled around there. If the arch code isn't careful, the RNG will
appear uninitialized inside of a time namespace.

Because broken code makes the RNG appear uninitialized, test that
everything works by issuing a call to vgetrandom from a fork in a time
namespace, and use ptrace to ensure that the actual syscall getrandom
doesn't get called. If it doesn't get called, then the test succeeds.

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.
