That's good, as kselftest from 4.9 was a bit broken for x86, which is
why I backported a bunch of patches for it for this release :)

Figuring out of any of these are from the tools/testing/selftests/x86/
directory is a pain, that is the tests I was referring to here...

That being said, why are you skipping so many?  ldt_gdt_64 should be
run, what fails with it?  Same for sigreturn_64, which I think means
that only 2 tests from the x86 directory are being skipped, right?

Have you gone back and looked at any of those other tests to see why
they are being skipped?

thanks,
