On Android this test is getting stuck in an infinite loop due to indeterminate behavior: The local variables steps and signalled were being reset to 1 and 0 respectively after every jump back to sigsetjmp by siglongjmp in the signal handler. The test was incrementing them and expecting them to retain their incremented values. The documentation for siglongjmp says: All accessible objects have values as of the time sigsetjmp() was called, except that the values of objects of automatic storage duration which are local to the function containing the invocation of the corresponding sigsetjmp() which do not have volatile-qualified type and which are changed between the sigsetjmp() invocation and siglongjmp() call are indeterminate. Tagging steps and signalled with volatile enabled the test to pass.

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.
