One more thing: adding full support for your architecture to the rseq selftests also requires to extend tools/testing/selftests/rseq/param_test.c to implement the RSEQ_INJECT_INPUT, INJECT_ASM_REG, RSEQ_INJECT_CLOBBER and RSEQ_INJECT_ASM macros for your architecture. Those are simply defining the inline asm operands and assembly code needed to inject delay loops within the rseq critical sections, which greatly facilitates testing.
