While we have test coverage for the ptrace interface in our selftests the current programs have a number of gaps. The testing is done per regset so does not cover interactions and at no point do any of the tests actually run the traced processes meaning that there is no validation that anything we read or write corresponds to register values the process actually sees. Let's add a new program which attempts to cover these gaps. Each test we do performs a single ptrace write. For each test we generate some random initial register data in memory and then fork() and trace a child. The child will load the generated data into the registers then trigger a breakpoint. The parent waits for the breakpoint then reads the entire child register state via ptrace, verifying that the values expected were actually loaded by the child. It then does the write being tested and resumes the child. Once resumed the child saves the register state it sees to memory and executes another breakpoint. The parent uses process_vm_readv() to get these values from the child and verifies that the values were as expected before cleaning up the child. We generate configurations with combinations of vector lengths and SVCR values and then try every ptrace write which will implement the transition we generated. In order to control execution time (especially in emulation) we only cover the minimum and maximum VL for each of SVE and SME, this will ensure we generate both increasing and decreasing changes in vector length. In order to provide a baseline test we also check the case where we resume the child without doing a ptrace write. In order to simplify the generation of the test count for kselftest we will report but skip a substantial number of tests that can't actually be expressed via a single ptrace write, several times more than we actually run. This is noisy and will add some overhead but is very much simpler so is probably worth the tradeoff.

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.
