While implementing rseq selftest for s390 a glibc problem with tls variables alignment has been discovered. It turned out to be a general problem affecting several architectures. The bug opened for this problem:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23403
There is no fix yet. On s390 __rseq_abi ends up aligned to 0x10 instead of 0x20 which makes rseq selftest fail every time.
The change proposed adds __rseq_abi misalignment check, produces user friendly message and skips the test.
