In rseq_test, there are two threads created. Those two threads are
'main' and 'migration_thread' separately. We also have the assumption
that non-migration status on 'migration-worker' thread guarantees the
same non-migration status on 'main' thread. Unfortunately, the assumption
isn't true. The 'main' thread can be migrated from one CPU to another
one between the calls to sched_getcpu() and READ_ONCE(__rseq.cpu_id).
The following assert is raised eventually because of the mismatched
CPU numbers.
The issue can be reproduced on arm64 system occasionally.
host# uname -r
5.19.0-rc6-gavin+
host# # cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep processor | tail -n 1
processor : 223
host# pwd
/home/gavin/sandbox/linux.main/tools/testing/selftests/kvm
host# for i in `seq 1 100`; \
do echo "--------> $i"; \
./rseq_test; sleep 3; \
done
--------> 1
--------> 2
--------> 3
--------> 4
--------> 5
--------> 6
==== Test Assertion Failure ====
rseq_test.c:265: rseq_cpu == cpu
pid=3925 tid=3925 errno=4 - Interrupted system call
1 0x0000000000401963: main at rseq_test.c:265 (discriminator 2)
2 0x0000ffffb044affb: ?? ??:0
3 0x0000ffffb044b0c7: ?? ??:0
4 0x0000000000401a6f: _start at ??:?
rseq CPU = 4, sched CPU = 27
This fixes the issue by double-checking on the current CPU after
call to READ_ONCE(__rseq.cpu_id) and restarting the test if the
two consecutive CPU numbers aren't euqal.

task migration bugs")
