This test triggers a TM Bad Thing by raising a signal in transactional state and forcing a pagefault to happen in kernelspace when the kernel signal handling code first touches the user signal stack. This is inspired by the test tm-signal-context-force-tm but uses userfaultfd to make the test deterministic. While this test always triggers the bug in one run, I had to execute tm-signal-context-force-tm several times (the test runs 5000 times each execution) to trigger the same bug. tm-signal-context-force-tm is kept instead of replaced because, while this test is more reliable and triggers the same bug, tm-signal-context-force-tm has a better coverage, in the sense that by running the test several times it might trigger the pagefault and/or be preempted at different places. v3: skip test if userfaultfd is unavailable.

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.
