Mathieu Desnoyers a3e3131f94 rseq/selftests: Introduce __rseq_cs_ptr_array, rename __rseq_table to __rseq_cs
The entries within __rseq_table are aligned on 32 bytes due to
linux/rseq.h struct rseq_cs uapi requirements, but the start of the
__rseq_table section is not guaranteed to be 32-byte aligned. It can
cause padding to be added at the start of the section, which makes it
hard to use as an array of items by debuggers.

Considering that __rseq_table does not really consist of a table due to
the presence of padding, rename this section to __rseq_cs.

Create a new __rseq_cs_ptr_array section which contains 64-bit packed
pointers to entries within the __rseq_cs section.

README

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 Restructured Text 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.
