selftests: livepatch: Test livepatching a heavily called syscall
The test proves that a syscall can be livepatched. It is interesting
because syscalls are called a tricky way. Also the process gets
livepatched either when sleeping in the userspace or when entering
or leaving the kernel space.
The livepatch is a bit tricky:
1. The syscall function name is architecture specific. Also
ARCH_HAS_SYSCALL_WRAPPER must be taken in account.
2. The syscall must stay working the same way for other processes
on the system. It is solved by decrementing a counter only
for PIDs of the test processes. It means that the test processes
has to call the livepatched syscall at least once.
The test creates one userspace process per online cpu. The processes
are calling getpid in a busy loop. The intention is to create random
locations when the livepatch gets enabled. Nothing is guarantted.
The magic is in the randomness.
