glibc-2.35 (upcoming release date 2022-02-01) exposes the rseq per-thread
data in the TCB, accessible at an offset from the thread pointer, rather
than through an actual Thread-Local Storage (TLS) variable, as the
Linux kernel selftests initially expected.
The __rseq_abi TLS and glibc-2.35's ABI for per-thread data cannot
actively coexist in a process, because the kernel supports only a single
rseq registration per thread.
Here is the scheme introduced to ensure selftests can work both with an
older glibc and with glibc-2.35+:
- librseq exposes its own "rseq_offset, rseq_size, rseq_flags" ABI.
- librseq queries for glibc rseq ABI (__rseq_offset, __rseq_size,
__rseq_flags) using dlsym() in a librseq library constructor. If those
are found, copy their values into rseq_offset, rseq_size, and
rseq_flags.
- Else, if those glibc symbols are not found, handle rseq registration
from librseq and use its own IE-model TLS to implement the rseq ABI
per-thread storage.

Currently if you build with O=... the rseq tests don't build:
$ make O=$PWD/output -C tools/testing/selftests/ TARGETS=rseq
make: Entering directory '/linux/tools/testing/selftests'
...
make[1]: Entering directory '/linux/tools/testing/selftests/rseq'
gcc -O2 -Wall -g -I./ -I../../../../usr/include/ -L./ -Wl,-rpath=./ -shared -fPIC rseq.c -lpthread -o /linux/output/rseq/librseq.so
gcc -O2 -Wall -g -I./ -I../../../../usr/include/ -L./ -Wl,-rpath=./ basic_test.c -lpthread -lrseq -o /linux/output/rseq/basic_test
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lrseq
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
This is because the library search path points to the source
directory, not the output.
We can fix it by changing the library search path to $(OUTPUT).

Commit 852c8cbf34 ("selftests/kselftest/runner.sh: Add 45 second
timeout per test") added a 45 second timeout for tests, and also added
a way for tests to customise the timeout via a settings file.
For example the ftrace tests take multiple minutes to run, so they
were given longer in commit b43e78f65b ("tracing/selftests: Turn off
timeout setting").
This works when the tests are run from the source tree. However if the
tests are installed with "make -C tools/testing/selftests install",
the settings files are not copied into the install directory. When the
tests are then run from the install directory the longer timeouts are
not applied and the tests timeout incorrectly.
So add the settings files to TEST_FILES of the appropriate Makefiles
to cause the settings files to be installed using the existing install
logic.
