selftests/x86: Add a test to detect infinite SIGTRAP handler loop
When FRED is enabled, if the Trap Flag (TF) is set without an external
debugger attached, it can lead to an infinite loop in the SIGTRAP
handler. To avoid this, the software event flag in the augmented SS
must be cleared, ensuring that no single-step trap remains pending when
ERETU completes.
This test checks for that specific scenario—verifying whether the kernel
correctly prevents an infinite SIGTRAP loop in this edge case when FRED
is enabled.
The test should _always_ pass with IDT event delivery, thus no need to
disable the test even when FRED is not enabled.
